Imagine what a different world this would be if US Senators had courage?

Donald Trump incited a violent mob to attack the Capitol.

Hundreds of dangerous felons who brutally beat police officers with impunity were then pardoned by the President on his first day in office.

Don’t ever lecture America about law and order.

Italy’s Constitutional Court has ruled that same-sex female couples who use IVF abroad can both be legally recognized as parents in Italy.

What radicalized you?

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.

It is blatantly unconstitutional.

future generations are going to see this shit in their history books and think to themselves “wtf is a book?”

I don’t do this often and promise not to make a habit of it, but just this once: WE TRIED TO WARN YOU!!!!!

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

History DOES repeat itself… 🤬

who could’ve predicted that confirming a white nationalist, christian extremist, drunk, sexual predator, tv host to lead our country’s armed forces would end in ruin

Reddit post from a terminated federal employee: "The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer."

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

Welcome to Bluesky, everyone leaving Twitter because the owner of that platform is doing Nazi salutes at the inauguration!

"They tried to take my freedom and my life."

- Oh we are about to see nightmares never imagined

A horrific image of a someone who seems to have his hands tied behind his back. A big cat (the predator kind, not the overfed pet kind) has jumped up at him and is devouring his face. Blood splashes on the floor.

For Blue Monday we can't think of anything more appropriate than this charming depiction of a man getting his face eaten off by a leopard.

1 Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive govern- ment will want, and then offer themselves with- out being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

What to do if ice comes to your door.. one do not open doors 2. Remain silent 3. do not sign 4. report The Raid 5. fight back

They really banned TikTok before they banned sending weapons to Israel during a genocide.

I’m so serious about this. Do not increase your time on meta platforms. In fact, over the next 48 hours, give your attention to somewhere else. Don’t reward Zuckerberg for this. 1/

You may not be aware that over the last 50 years, the Supreme Court has chipped away at your Miranda rights case by case, rendering them weak and ineffective. You no longer have the right to remain silent, to an attorney, not with the foece you used to. Time for a history lesson. /🧵

the TikTok algorithm is so good that it even served up the perfect video to act as the background for its ban announcement
