Best thing I’ve read in a while!

Turns out Zelenskyy is good at standing up against dictators.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.

Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.

Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.

See how this works?

Thank you

So disturbing

Anyone else notice the anti-hate commercial featuring Snoop Dog, only a handful of days after performing at trump’s inauguration? Looks like someone is trying to do image damage control.

And I imagine farmers overwhelmingly voted for trump. I know that’s how it is where I live, and we grow a lot of soybeans here.

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

When I was an intern during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, we had to actually answer the phones, no voicemail. Those were fun times 😆. I called district offices until I was able to get through to one, keep it up!

I was able to get through to one of his district offices and leave a message, Richmond I think.

Congressman @beyer.house.gov will be going to USAID today with colleagues to shine a light on what is happening there, I think others will join us. Figuring out details now and will share but flagging now for press and public in the area

A clear explanation of how the Trump/Musk power grab will do untold harm to us all. This is a 5 alarm fire. No president, regardless of party, should have such direct control over the disbursement of federal funds. Now, a thread on what to do:

Aaand this just pushed me over the edge. Finally filled out a form to join my local Dem committee and planning to start calling my representatives tomorrow. I’ve stayed out except serving as an election official bc I’m married to a Republican. Time to put that MS degree in American politics to use.

Democratic lawmakers need to understand something:

Imagine your house is on fire. Fire truck shows up. Firefighters get out. They look at the fire, then at you, and say: "Such a fire is a grave threat. This house will not sustain."

And just stand there.

This is how many of you are coming across.

Oh good lord

Making America Great Again!

This was posted yesterday morning before the DCA crash. Prescient.

Sounds like a good plan to start tomorrow!

As one of your constituents, please continue fighting all things Trump!

As chilling a meme as I have seen. But I agree.

This is the best one I’ve seen thus far go.bsky.app/LKksz7X

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Yes, it can happen again. 👀

I’m just waiting for my MAGA sister, who is a federal USDA employee and her husband is a farmer, to start being affected by Project 2025. They are looking to gut the Dept. Of Ag. I’m not sure I will feel bad when it happens.

Not a joke

BREAKING: A federal judge temporarily blocked President Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship.

We will keep fighting until this order is blocked for good.

This is what a mandate looks like, not Trump’s pathetic win
