Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
People criticize Bluesky for being an echo chamber for Dems and Independents.
So? We need a safe space to share information, help each other, and become more emboldened to act. 👊🏼
That's the point of a support system.
Country music fans mad at Beyonce…. Do you realize it was mediocre white dudes that completely bastardized the genre? You cranked up Jason Aldean and now you’re a “purist?” Sit down.
Guaranteed that by now the G20 has branched off a separate group chat without him in it
Quick reminder-
It’s Colombia, not Columbia. One is a country, the other is a university, line of sportswear, and the full name of Washington DC.
Thanks.
Can we get a recount?
Pick your battles
Can we object to electors under 14.3?
Pick your battles
Can we vote against Rubio for SoS?
Pick your battles
Demand volume II of the report?
Pick your battles
Call for SCOTUS expansion?
Pick your battles
Okay but could you pick like ONE battle? ANY battle?
I know they say "The days are long but the years are short", but brother, some of these days are LONG.
Presidents should not be allowed to pardon people they egged on into committing their crimes. It's not forgiveness, it's lawlessness.
DC hotels still have capacity. Top restaurants are still taking reservations. Popular bars aren’t extending their hours.
Yeah… starting to think cold wasn’t the reason why they moved the inauguration inside lol
The internet had the potential to make humans so much smarter and interconnected. Instead, it's dumbing us down and siloing us off. A real tragedy.
I never buy Oreos because then I'll eat the Oreos,
so instead I look in my pantry every day and I'm
disappointed that I don't have any Oreos.

Me: *Adjusting my headphones because they're falling out*
My headphones: I turn off ☺️
Me: No I-
My headphones: I skip forwards ☺️
Me: Please I just want to stop you falli-
My headphones: I turn volume down ☺️
Me: PLEASE!!!
My headphones: I turn off ☺️
Also feel the need to say that this is real and happened today
It was never just another app.
It was Community.
It was Knowledge and News.
It was Nostalgia.
It was Entertainment.
It was Different.
It was Connection.
And yet we know that #booklovers will always find each other ❤️🩹🫶🏻

Good Saturday morning. If you are reading this, you are vulnerable to weaponized disinformation and the only one who can reliably protect you: you.
Two weekend challenges:
1. Do one thing that builds your critical thinking skills
2. Engage with another human in a way other than social media
Why can't people just accept that Trump tried to ban TikTok in 2020 but failed and then was against the ban when Sleepy Joe was in favor of it and now is going to save TikTok and China is bad and therefore tariffs, but also the CEO of TikTok is going to the inauguration. Why is that so difficult?
A lot of folks have already revealed themselves in the Trump era, but 2025 is the year the rest of them do
Our job is to never forget what everyone looked like when their masks came off, and to never forget who had a mask on in the first place
It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here
THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be.
You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion.
Which is more powerful?
"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."
Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed.
The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.
The only thing worse about the House Ethics committee report saying Matt Gaetz paid an underage girl for sex is the realization that so many other Republicans were ready to hide that shit.
So. Fucking. Gross.
We DO NOT throw perfectly good food away in this house.
We put leftovers in a Tupperware & let it go bad, THEN throw it out!
i am convinced that these people are death worshippers who want to spread as much disease and sickness as possible (i also think this is all tied up in eugenic beliefs about the “survival of the fittest” www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/h...
Can literally feel myself decaying when colleagues talk about football.
just wanna retire and go live in some quaint seaside town with my cat where i run a little bookstore that sells magical potions and spells that turn idiots into frogs and maybe help solve a local murder every now and then.
Destiny said it was him in the video, but he hasn’t said who else was in the video. He said on TikTok it was a “friend” and I doubt he’s friends with Fuentes.
Exactly
