"...with liberty and justice for ALL." #ONEV1 #Pinks 🌸 #Voices4Victory
I had a busy summer, but there’s always time for dear leader.

Don’t. Get. Distracted. By. Trump. 😎✨
We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!
On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.
Brutal.
Obama is the best of ‘em!
Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

What starts with banning books and mistreating librarians? Fascism.

So many people have grown up to be the villains of our stories.
It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.
Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.
When?! 👇
Love your review, man. Great work and glad to see you spell it ALL out - and using Lucas’s own ideas to back you up for all the red hats…👨🍳😗
Warnock: I don’t know how anybody can be apathetic after what we’re going through right now. We say elections have consequences. That ain’t a slogan right about now. We’re living that reality. Here I am doing everything I can with the tools that I have but tools are not the same…

Ashley Babbit's family is poised to recieve 30 million dollars (from tax payers) thanks to the Dept of Justice... Mrs Sicknick just wanted a phone call and the people who assaulted her son Brian held accountable.
My god i hate this timeline...
I don’t know man, what could it possibly be?

It really takes a lot for me to say this, but the Graham tweet is genuinely a pretty offensive thing to say.
100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises. But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up. It's up to us to demand something better.

Today at least two judges were arrested for acts that are not criminally illegal and a two year old U.S. citizen was kidnapped and shipped to Honduras by ICE, who called it a "deportation." Are we great again yet?
OMG. Must-watch🔥 The brilliant @jimmykimmel.com eviscerates Hegseth, saying: "The Defense Secretary is defenseless—you leak so much, you should be wearing Depends to work." Hegseth desperately tries to justify his incompetence, but he is circling the drain and knows it. Resign, Leaky-Pete!
They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.
If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.
First they came for the innocent man deported to a Salvadoran gulag on an “administrative error” they falsely claim they’re powerless to reverse, flouting court orders even from the Supreme Court — and I spoke out, because I know how the damn poem ends.
What happened to America?👇 What?! 🤔
I didn’t want this to happen. I voted for the smart black lady.
JPMorgan raises recession odds this year to 60%.

“We must dissent because America can do better.” Good to hear Wisconsin Judge Susan Crawford quote Justice Thurgood Marshall in her victory speech tonight.

Exactly
He’s right… #MomSky
From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.
I couldn't help but write up some quick thoughts trying to capture the sheer insanity (and illegality!) of that Trump group chat. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-short-...
My Senator!!
We need more Jon Ossoffs in the Democratic Party. This is just fantastic.
The good news is that there *are* people meeting the moment. youtu.be/EJxRtjma7lc
It’s not about “DEI.”
Be someone’s hero. We all need a little more kindness in our lives. ♥️
BREAKING: Donald Trump declared Joe Biden's pardons "null and void," a French lawmaker is demanding the United States return the Statue of Liberty, and the Project 2025 founder is rejoicing over Trump. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...
Here’s the thing, fuckface — we knew you were going to try this shit, but you can’t “void” another president’s pardons. The Constitution is extremely clear on this, you traitorous piece of shit.
🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump is claiming dictatorial power, declaring in a social media post that the pardons issued by former President Biden are null and void—using lies as his justification.
Openly ignoring and defying the Judiciary. Breaking his oath to preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States. Granting himself unchecked power. This is authoritarianism.
What is wrong with giving a new leader a chance? A new approach, a fresh approach. Someone who has integrity, leadership skills, represents a key state, has guts and the confidence of the base. Time to put ego aside and screw seniority. This is my nominee.
The team at @votersoftomorrow.org set up a one-click email to all Democratic Senators who are considering voting for this CR. You can use it here 👇 win.newmode.net/votersoftomo...
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!
✋
All I'm saying is, if you ran a campaign on democracy being at stake and democracy lost, isn't it time to be massively freaking out instead of doing this
Senator, your presentation here should be a press conference and a Town Hall topic!! Thank you!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyco...
Exactly this.
Every time I read a story like this I recommit to be louder and more defiant.
"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."
I’m conscious so many people are feeling anxious or angry. It’s because you care. It’s because you have heart and empathy for your fellow citizens. Take comfort from knowing you are not alone, and collectively we can create good in this world. Small to begin with, but it will grow. Rest well. 😊
Yea!!!
"Russia is the aggressor, Zelenskyy is a war leader whose country has been invaded, and we should all be supporting him and not fawning over Putin!" - UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
BREAKING: Trump has paused all military aid to Ukraine. To the rest of the world, we hate this motherfucker as much as you do.
"What can I do?" That is the number 1 question I get asked. And at this time in our democracy -- or what remains of it when public servants put their loyalty to a person above their oaths of office— I am grateful that people are asking that question. Below is a video with my answer:
If you haven’t checked it out yet, PARADISE on Hulu is amazing! Great, high concept thriller (trying not to spoil!) with terrific performances across the board. Highly recommended!

The accuracy of the political cartoons recently is incredibly painful.
We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸
Dear world, please do not judge us harshly. Most of us are good-caring people, and we hate him too.
Star Wars: Andor Season 2 will follow Cassian’s journey in the four years leading up to the events of Rogue One, with the 12 episode story unfolding in four weekly chapters of three episodes each.

So @chrischirp.bsky.social is logging Trump's actions under data categories derived from the typical behaviour of authoritarian states as part of an ongoing project. The conclusions are naturally alarming. open.substack.com/pub/christin...
