Yes, you're right. My bad.
Pedo RICO is already typing insane nonsense on his crappy website.
Still have no idea what he means.
I think it's Marlin Brando in On the Waterfront. He screams "Stella".
I feel you. It hurts. It's scary. Thank you for articulating it so beautifully. Im feeling very isolated even though I'm surrounded by people i thought i agreed with. We will all have to make choices in the coming months. I'm shaky about what that will look like.
i try not to tremble when i look down the long rutted road ahead but some nights the shaking starts and i can't stop it i never envisioned this nightmare and there's no fix for it i breathe in i breathe out taking baby steps into the unknown ~ RC deWinter
Girl, I feel you. Im struggling to find the words. It hurts.
I can live with that. I suggest we saw off Alaska if that happens. The Alaskans can come live with me in TN. We'll work it out for the greater good.
Sounds of protest never sounded so beautiful.
Thank you for doing this. Extend my welcome to all your kids from here in Tennessee.
A senator who acts against his own interests. How can he represent his constituents?
History is everything.
Not great!
It's kind of a coliseum and gladiator vibe. Dare I say, even imperial?
Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) vetoed a bill Friday that would require voters with felony convictions to pay all outstanding legal fees before their right to vote is restored — a requirement that voting rights advocates slammed as a discriminatory poll tax. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Tennessee mom of four, Jessee Graham, speaks out against far right extremists spreading hate in the name of Christianity. She is defending the LGBTQ+ community over the pressure from conservatives which led to the resignation of the librarian over a Pride display.
As a lawyer, i learned to apply the facts to the law. Bondi is applying confabulation to the because-he-said-so. This won't go well for her.
"Trump’s master plan extends far beyond government. He is seeking to weaken and intimidate other influential sections of society that might provide a check on him and a corporate-friendly state," writes @davidcorn.bsky.social

3 Cities. 3 Hearings. 5 Hours of Testimony. For 30 Million Texans. @tayhlorcoleman.bsky.social delivered a powerful #CupOfJoe Joe, speaking against the latest effort to rig the maps in favor of the powerful. In a world of Karolines, be a Tayhlor. #DemsUnited
Ohhhh, reading through the whole manuscript for the first time and I totally forgot about the little tidbit on how 19th-Century doctors thought Colorado's altitude caused nymphomania in women. Wait, my book is interesting!
Smithsonian's American History museum does a White House "content review" then rewrites history, removing Trump's impeachments. A spokesperson says "it became clear that the ‘Limits of Presidential Power’ section ... needed to be addressed" wapo.st/3HhfyxU @janaykingsberry.bsky.social
Trump claims Epstein "stole" one of Epstein's underage victims, Virginia Giuffre, from Trump's Mar-a-lago spa. Why did Trump use the word "stole," as if he owned Giuffre?
A young Texan tells Texas Democrats that they need to be willing to do anything to prevent redistricting, including breaking quorum!! Heed his warning!! RISE UP NOW!
Global scale grift… The Air Force determined our nuclear silos are crumbling, unsafe, and we need new ones. But Trump is pilfering the funds to pimp out the 747 jet “gifted” by Qatar to use as Air Force. The same jet he plans to keep after he’s no longer president. Like it’s a parting gift.
The Republicans brought all those charges against me and they were all DROPPED They tried and LOST!!!!! A beginning to a wave of losses ignited by BLUE STATES gerrymandering out Republicans without mercy Trump started this gerrymandering WAR, Democrats will FINISH IT!
For the 1st time in its 116-year history, the NAACP won’t invite a sitting U.S. president to its national convention. NAACP President Derrick Johnson called it “a waste of time to give a platform to fascism.” Well done! Every organization should follow suit. FDT

On taco Tuesday!
BREAKING WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump administration says it is ending deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops in Los Angeles.
Republican corruption is happening out in the open because they don’t even feel a need to hide it anymore. (One of the seats they’re targeting in Texas is held by Rep. Al Green, who introduced articles for impeachment against Trump last month.)
I live in Tennessee (Marsha is a bitch) Medicaid is called Tenncare so these idiots here think “well I don’t have Medicare I have Tenncare so we don’t have to worry.” Dumb asses….
BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.
Since 2009, I’ve shopped Etsy for gifts, keepsakes for my kids, and other special items. I will *never* make a purchase from Etsy again since learning they’ve allowed Alligator Alcatraz merch on their site. Etsy should be ashamed of themselves for profiting off human trafficking. Despicable.
Imagine the shock when people in WY, OK, TN, MS, etc. learn that Equality Care, SoonerCare, TennCare, MississippiCAN and the like are actually Medicare.
I wish her boobs would pop out of her halter. I could never yell at someone while wearing a halter for fear of angry popping boobs. What entitlement.
If you've got it, flaunt it, girl.
We’re in the Capitol for a youth read-in of Donald Trump’s Big Ugly Bill with @yassaminansari.bsky.social. We’re reading all 900 pages of bullshit out loud, to make sure Republicans know they are betraying our generation with their vote.
After being starved for over 20 hrs, inmates at Delaney Hall ICE jail in Newark tore down a wall. They’ve been gassed, denied food, visits, & basic rights for weeks. Outside, New Jersey locals showed up and forced ICE to retreat despite being maced, assaulted, and nearly run down by vans.
Hungary banned pride and anything having to do with homosexuality. In response the country responded with the biggest pride protest in modern history. Orban is cooked. #3E

Birthright citizenship is a Constitutional RIGHT. Any attack on it is an attack on us all. This is an attempt by far-right justices to attack immigrant communities and remove protections from any American who questions Trump. Your rights are nonnegotiable. We can’t compromise on that basic fact.
We Stand with @PlannedParenthood.
Trump wraps his speech on the big bill: "Schumer - our great Palestinian senator. He's changed. He used to like Jewish people, now he's totally against Jewish people. Try the weightlifting numbers some day if you want to see big differences. In a million years women will never catch these numbers"
You go Madam President 🇲🇽 (She’s a climate scientist so she knows of what she speaks) I love this for Elbow
This won’t succeed but it is not normal. This is very dangerous. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?
Notice what the administration is doing by trying to portray anyone questioning the success of these strikes as anti-military. It’s a deflection tactic. The mission was perfectly executed, we just don’t yet know if it was successful, and that’s OK - that’s what the IC is for.
First, Toyota donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration. Then, Trump's CFPB said they don't have to pay $40 million in customer refunds anymore. And now, Trump's DOJ closed its investigation into allegations of Toyota bribery. Our government is up for sale.
Also from Congressman Frank Pallone to RFK Jr: “It’s clear to me that the vast majority of scientists and medical professionals think your views on vaccines are dangerous.” “The science is not on your side. I just really think people are going to die as a result of your actions.”
Power corrupts. No one but Trump would have given Miller any power over anything
Their corruption is endless. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Just in: The @aclutn.bsky.social has filed a lawsuit on behalf of seven Metro Nashville councilmembers challenging a new state law that would criminalize public officials who vote on policies supporting immigrants, including sanctuary cities -- which are prohibited in Tennessee.
I like the way you think!
Agents of Change is the name of the student led law students who’ve launched the immigration hotline.
🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️
Gov. Pritzker is a bad ass!! Go Illinois!!
Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting
#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks I’m certainly not surprised that the Supreme Court delivered a major blow to transgender rights today, upholding the Tennessee ban on gender-affirming care for minors. But I am angry as hell and heartbroken. 🤬💔

Karen Bass: "It's felt in LA like we're part of a grand experiment. How far will the public tolerate the federal government intervening and seizing power from a governor? I think it's being tried out here."
Even after being attacked by gestapo foot soldiers, landet shows that this is how you do it as an elected official or someone running for office. speak for those who do not have the power you do and you speak for them because it’s the right thing to do because they are a fellow human being.
Are you paying attention republicans? We are voters and expect you, our elected representatives, to defend our democracy. Remember…we are voters.
Thank you for your attention to this matter! #NoKings
Austin brought the heat—guitars, grit, and a gut-deep NO to kings. In the heart of Texas, thousands stood tall against tyranny. They weren’t quiet, they weren’t polite—and they damn sure weren’t bowing. This is the sound of freedom with a Texas twang. #NoKings @maddow.msnbc.com @jenpsaki.msnbc.com
No Kings in Barcelona! Awesome! #nokings #barcelona
The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible
Just finished up at the Evanston No Kings rally. It was safe, peaceful, and a show of solidarity by *at least* 1,000 people. Go to your local protest. Don’t let this administration scare you. Stand with your community when our leaders won’t.
NEW: Democracy is alive in Philly! Amazing scenes in Philadelphia as thousands hit the streets for the anti-Trump protest. #NoKings #50501Movement
Thousands of demonstrators waved American flags, Texas flags and “No Kings” signs at a downtown Dallas protest on Saturday. More: https://bit.ly/43TUBSx?utm_medium=social&utm_source=bluesky_
HAPPENING NOW: A sea of protesters have gathered in Ann Arbor, Michigan for a “No Kings Day” rally against Donald Trump (Video: WXYZ-TV)
Thousands of peaceful protesters have lined the road for over 8 continuous miles just outside of Washington DC right now! They did not vote for a king and they are well aware that Trump is trying to cut off their health care benefits to give tax breaks to him and his billionaire donors friends.

You can’t see me bc I’m holding a flag but guys I live in a 2k person extremely rural town in one of the reddest counties of WI. So many people showed up there was a line all the way to the highway. I often feel a bit afraid due to my identity in this area but #nokings brought out so many
Population just a little over 11,000.
National protest organizers told people not to protest in DC because “Trump might declare martial law,” says one organizer. These people said “fuck that.” And they’re marching to the White House. @smencimer.bsky.social
#NoKings Tempe Arizona pedestrian bridge over Interstate 60. We had to walk over and back on the bridge because there were so many people if you stopped, others wouldn't get a turn!
There are thousands of people out in the streets of Pasadena. Block after block
