NEW: Senate Republicans have BLOCKED Schumer's effort to release the Epstein files. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
Anyway, we need those Epstein files.

Texas did it. Courts wonβt save us. Protests wonβt sway them. The only move left is strategic retaliation. Blue states CA, NY, IL, OR must redraw maps and hit back. Match their aggression or forfeit the future. #FightLikeNewsom
On the National Mall, thugs with no badges, no warrant, and no shame dragged a man down and left him screaming for help. This is not law enforcement. It is fascism in plain sight: state violence in the shadow of the Capitol. We need to find a way to stop this cruelty & brutality. Itβs evil.
So much more of this, please.
Newsom: Wake Up! Donald Trump is not screwing around, and we cannot ideally stand by. Fascism is born through inaction, and we can't let them cheat their way through.
Waste, fraud, and abuse.
The rally in D.C. to protest the Trump regimeβs attempted takeover of the city has begun. Follow @freedcproject.bsky.social and learn more at bit.ly/free-dc-our-home.
Yes!! More of this!!!
Trump's own DOJ website still has a press release up from January pointing out that violent crime in D.C. is at its lowest in more than 30 years.
Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: βIt makes me sick that she is claiming to be a victim. This is the same woman that grabbed my arm and forced me into a room to be raped by Jeffrey. She had this evil smirk on her face. And she enjoyed it.β ht: @marcofoster.bsky.social
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) doesn't create policy. It reports data. It has strict statistical methods, peer-reviewed models and decades of insulation from political pressure. Firing the commissioner because the numbers are politically inconvenient is a direct attack on objective reality.
Corrupt. Dangerous. Deeply deeply damaging.
Alan Cumming on bathroom bills: "Why on earth would a rapist go through the bother of pretending to be trans in a country that treats rapists better than trans people."
I am no constitutional scholar, but I can't help but feel that "the President gets to dictate what every university can teach and what every television station should broadcast" is closer to what the founding fathers were worried about when it comes to free speech than trigger warnings on syllabi.
Columbia functionally returning to its original name Kingβs College
You are aware Project 2025 is a playbook cooked up by the far-right to dismantle our constitution, revoke citizenship, reproductive rights, voting rights, civil rights & marriage rights β all while defunding healthcare, public education, cancer research & social security?
Minority Leader @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social calls the MAGA Republican bill βan immoral documentβ because of how it attacks the American people. No billionaire has ever died from not getting a tax cut, but Americans will. Theyβre not βfighting for America.β Theyβre robbing the country blind.
Cutting or defunding programs like Medicaid would create major gaps in state funding and devastate state budgets. We're running out of time to protect our health care. Tell Congress NO CUTS to Medicaid! sign.moveon.org/petitions/te...
Praying for their own lost souls.
They would never be so indecorous, which is at least in part why itβs hard to imagine another Democratic president anytime soon.
Itβs not over yet. π
I'm in D.C. and Iβm voting NO on Trumpβs spending bill. It hands nearly $1 trillion in tax cuts to the top 1%, slashes over $1 trillion from health care, and still adds TRILLIONS to the debt. This is a betrayal of the working classβplain and simple.
John Barron is a yes
Good summary. β

Speaker Johnson should just take the L on this vote. Most of America doesnβt want this bill to pass anyways. Itβs it both the worst and most unpopular piece of legislation in modern history.
Threats of broken kneecaps, I imagine.
#ProudBlue #DemVoice1 Nearly all Senate GOP lied directly to the faces of Americans, then voted to cut healthcare from millions, cut children food programs, and make tax cuts for fucking rich people permanent #HoldThemAccountable @occupydemocrats.bsky.social @meidastouch.com @duckworth.senate.gov
This is Tom Barrett (R-MI). If he votes for this bill, 24,745 of his constituents would lose access to their healthcare. 30,044 of his constituents could lose access to their food assistance. 4,352 energy jobs in his district could be lost.
Fitzpatrick, who seems to have fled into the night
I am no parliamentarian but if you can just hold the vote open indefinitely after the votes are in until you get the outcome you want that feels uhhh not democratic
What threats are being issued at this very moment�
Shocking to nobodyβour maternal mortality ratio is getting even worse.
Thatβs a beautiful thing. Thank you for your action.

Ah that tracks. Bucks County has been frozen with polarization.
Is he Harrisburg?
How else to go about the day to day with ALL THIS as the backdrop?
A whole buncha shit sucks but its critical to point the good shit that still happens: Wisconsin put that Liberal Supreme Court majority to real work. Stuff like this and Zorhan's win making the establishment collectively mcshitslop themselves is important. Work continues πͺ We keep fighting.
Why donβt they understand itβs only going to get worse if they donβt stop it?
Of course some did. But we failed to mobilize enough, and here we are. I just hope the fire will actually be lit for next time.
The party of small government.
βDepriving adults and their kids of healthcare and saddling our grandkids with crippling debt is βimmaterialβ as long as we get to keep kidnapping people with darker skin.β What sick bastards.
Yes, we warned about all of it last year. Every last detail, every policy. Watched every rally speech, every interview, every campaign video. Posted thousands of clips about it all. Most completely or largely ignored by legacy media. And yes, it is going to get much worse.
Call call call. (202) 224-3121
Sheβs no McCain. But hereβs hoping.
No lies told here.
We now have a concentration camp in Florida. Stop pretending any of this is normal. If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person. Be human.

Weβve 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 wonβt share intel with us. Because people couldnβt vote for a woman.
They've detained a mayor, a Congresswoman, a union leader, and now a U.S. Senator. They've deployed marines to an American city. They are hosting a military parade. This isn't the Trump Administration, it's the Trump Regime.

Troll logic: why try at all? Rebel logic: bc we matter Troll math: half the country voted for this Rebel math: 340 million in U.S. - 77 million voted Trump = 263 million of us fighting to restore order Troll politics: engage with distractions Rebel politics: no thanks, we have work to do π #Resist

No. I seem to remember playing this game nine years ago. He is stupid and mean to the bone, and surrounded by people who think they can play chess.

This is the way.
Spot on.
Nice!
Honestly this is genius
Now rushing off to his funeral. POS.
I love this sort of thing because it reminds us that they are just really bad at doing the fascism.
Good news.

Catastrophizing means functional freeze which means not resisting. Let us not.
