We should declare 2025 the year of pockets. All outfit choices should include pockets. Pockets are for snacks.
I stand in support. A proper Tazzie to you.
To be clear: a tariff is a tax.
Go Bernie! Way to show the Dems by example. Please watch the full speech, it is worth it. Send it to everyone. youtu.be/2StnaGCQPCI?...
Agreed, solid dad joke. How do you find Will Smith in the snow? You follow the fresh prints.
Dear #Ukraine, Most Americans are appalled by 45's behavior, which does not reflect our nation's true sentiments. We stand with you in solidarity. We recognize the injustice you face. 45's actions are a stain on our diplomacy, but they do not define our collective heart. #SlavaUkraini
I'm not sure I would call what she does working, but I agree with you.
Marjorie Taylor Greene says federal workers "don’t deserve their jobs or paychecks" She still collects the taxpayer-funded $174K salary to spew nonsense. If federal jobs aren’t “real,” does that include hers? Or is hypocrisy just another government benefit? #MTG #Cuts #DOGE #PresidentElon
I've eaten lots of this, and lots of versions of this. It is highly adaptable to what you can get a hold of.
I say they are already late to the game, but I'm glad they are starting to get word and show up. Hopefully, they will do the required reading of Project 2025, and show up to class with notes.
45 claimed Volodymyr Zelenskyy was a dictator. IMMEDIATELY GOT OUTPLAYED Zelenskyy offered to step down as president for peace, NATO membership and to stop Putin’s invasion. One fights for democracy, the other licks Putin’s boots. #Trump #Ukraine #Russia #Putin #NATO #Zelenskyy #Peace
Excellent response!
45’s alleged 1987 KGB codename “Krasnov” from his meeting with the #KGB during a "scouting trip for a "hotel". The Daily Beast published, then yanked, the story; No word yet. The GOP’s top guy has been bowing to #Russia for decades. At what point do we just call it what it is? #Krasnov #Trump
45’s #WhiteHouse declaring “Long live the king” isn’t just a meme. It’s a warning. This wannabe #dictator SCREAMING his intentions; his cult cheers as democracy burns. America fought a revolution to escape a #king. The #GOP crowns one. If this doesn’t terrify you, you’re not paying attention.
We're proud of you, Senator. Keep fighting loud and clear; rally the others and convince them to stand with you!
Fuck that! Why don't they reinstate government employees because the House controls the budget and the purse, and the firings were unlawful? Congress needs to find their spines and grow a pair.
Accountability? Deleted. 45 just killed the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database, erasing records of police misconduct. What we can't see can't hurt us, right? Wrong. Blind trust isn’t trust, it’s surrender. And that’s exactly the point. ##PoliceAccountability #Corruption #BLM
Please stay safe and, if possible, STAY OUT OF THE AIR! With aviation safety standards deteriorating and multiple crashes in just weeks, it's clear that flying is dangerous. The consequences of staff cuts and deregulation are showing. Take care, stay grounded if you can, and be safe. ✈️⚠️
I agree, as per usual. One advantage we have is that 45's incompetence will bring with it fast and dramatic negative results. 45's supporters will feel the consequences of 45's actions. This change will NOT happen gradually, but within weeks. This will split his following.
Another #PlaneCrash today in Arizona: 2 planes, 2 dead. 9 crashes since 45 and Musk gutted aviation staff. 1/29 – Washington, D.C. 1/31 – Pennsylvania 2/5 – Washington 2/6 – Alaska 2/10 – Arizona 2/12 – California 2/16 – Georgia 2/17 - Minnesota to Toronto 12/19 - #Arizona #NoFly #Trump #FAA
Glad to see some pushback. About time they start catching up. Can we make a congressional law that all Dems come to class here on BlueSky? They are taking us back 100 years! Not only for LGBTQ+ community but for marriage rights, civil rights, immigration, and women's rights.
If you already have no-bakes covered, here is the brownie recipe that I've been working on. I may or may not have eaten these for breakfast on occasion as well. I exercise all rights and privileges afforded to me by the Constitution of the United States, 5th. docs.google.com/document/d/1...
First, #Elon fired the people that maintain our #NUCLEAR ARSENAL, then scrambled to hire them back; But didn't have any way of contacting them when they cut off their government email. Now, they have done the same with people who were fighting the #H1N1 #Birdflu. How many times must we do this?
If you're going to snitch, you will need material evidence; here it is: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
We love you @mehdirhasan.bsky.social I follow your work, and you are an inspiration for my writing. Do not obey in advance! I'll keep writing with you.
I did this today as well...

It google checked
Yeah, it's a quote from Napoleon. You know the dude that seized power of France with a bloodless coup and named himself emperor.
Just like the Nazi salute that we all saw but we are told to believe that we didn't see; Every white supremacist and Nazi in our country counted those flags and know exactly what Elon is trying to say. This is what we refer to as a dog whistle.
Exactly 14 American flags? Really? Still throwing Nazi signs? 14 is significant in the white supremacist world. It is often associated with a slogan known as the "14 Words," a white nationalist phrase: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." #dogwhistle
For the kids in the back, Trump is quoting Napoleon Bonaparte, who illegally seized France; with the help of his brother Lucien and other allies, staged a bloodless coup that overthrew the French Directory and named himself emperor. Our president considers him a role model.
45 is giving it his best shot to Ctl Alt Del democracy and the Constitution. But we have not yet lost! Resistance is growing, and the majority of the world is behind us. Do not obey in Advance!
Not only is this a comment about the president who wants to be a dictator from "Day One", but it is also a rally cry to his base that as long as they are "saving America", the laws don't apply.
45: "He who saves his country does not violate any law" Pure authoritarian rot. That’s not patriotism; it’s the mantra of EVERY #dictator in history. The #Constitution is the #law. No one, especially a wannabe tyrant, is above it. If you break laws to “save” a nation, you’re destroying it.
Same.
They are starting to gain some momentum; they were just a little late showing to the game. Follow what @raskin.house.gov, @aoc.bsky.social, and @sanders.senate.gov are doing. We are the underdogs in this fight, but it is NOT over yet; it's just getting started. #PresidentElon #FuckTrump
"In the name of those who came before me, I pledge to be brave, to be true to myself, and to fight like hell for equality."
We should ALL be SO proud of our National Parks Service. They are standing for democracy when most of our Democratic leaders are still stammering with shock. "S_onewall was a riot. You can't spell Stonewall without a T."
A 4-year-old sees through 45, Still Congress drags its feet. Beyond Corruption is complicity. Every delay normalizes his lawlessness. Impeachment is NECESSARY and OVERDUE! If a child can call it out, so can our leaders. www.youtube.com/shorts/JFuNy... #NotThePresident #Elon #PresidentElon
I didn't realize it until now, but she does have a real Miss Piggy vibe going on!
Karoline Leavitt is what happens when Nellie Oleson grows up, reads The Handmaid’s Tale as a blueprint, and channels Miranda Priestly’s icy contempt. Only with less talent. Sneer, spin, and sell authoritarianism with a fake smile and a press pass. Welcome to the Disinformation Era. #Leavitt
Correction: Tulsi Gabbard's official title is Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Dear @bsky.app, please, pretty please, give us an edit button.
The way Jamie Raskin is talking everyone is in, you would have to opt out if you wanted to.
How long before we start seeing onion domes on the White House Building?
It's not like I didn't know that ALL of 45's nominations were eventually going to get confirmed. It doesn't take away the feeling of being punched in the stomach each time one of them does.
The Kremlin just got a direct line to U.S. intelligence. Tulsi Gabbard; long accused of being a Russian asset; is now National Security Director. Every Democrat voted no. The only Republican to break rank? Mitch McConnell. When Moscow celebrates, America loses. #GOP #Traitors #TulsiGabbard
Agreed.
Jamie Raskin is floating a class-action lawsuit against Elon Musk & his hacker crew for breaching Americans’ personal data. Imagine all of us taking down the world’s richest man. Using his own arrogance & the law. BANKRUPT THE BILLIONAIRE, resist the takeover! #SueElon #Elon #Raskin #Resistance
That's just it, he didn't need any money. Snoop is living fairly comfortably. This is something else. I wonder if Trump has something on Snoop? It seems at the very least, out of character.

This is the PDF of the book from the Project 2025 site. Full 922 page plan to dismantle the American government and give all Congressional powers to the Executive Branch. static.project2025.org/2025_Mandate...
www.aclu.org/project-2025...
How about this? Make a resolution that all Democratic members of the House and Senate read Project 2025? THEY GAVE YOU THE PLAN in April 2023! Can we PLEASE ask our Congress to do the required reading and show up for class with a book report and some notes? #Project2025 #Democracy #Resist
None of this is about spending, they want to remove all regulation and oversight. They want to ctl alt del the government and start over and make Trump a dictator.
Nico Rios isn’t just pushing HCR 3020; he’s advancing a white Christian nationalist agenda that erases religious freedom. His history of racist rhetoric and opposition to LGBTQ+ rights exposes the GOP’s true goal: state-enforced theocracy. This is a crusade against democracy itself.
ND MAGA filed HCR 3020, forcing state workers to "acknowledge the Kingship of Jesus Christ over all the world." Cited source? The Bible (shocking). Reads like a sermon. 5 of 12 GOP sponsors also condemn marriage equality. Christian nationalism is here. #ChurchAndState #ChristianNationalism
Musk could control flight logs for elites, delay or block opponents’ flights, sell travel data, privatize for profit, favor SpaceX, disrupt air travel for power, influence military logistics, and automate control for his gain. It’s about dominance, NOT efficiency.
With 5 airplane crashes on his watch, Sean Duffy says DOGE will "UPGRADE" our aviation system. Elon wants control of the planes. If he controls the planes, he controls the flight logs. That means anyone he favors can move anonymously, no records and no oversight. It’s a power grab. #Elon #FAA
Well said Flav, good job!
@petebuttigieg.bsky.social Glad to have you here; you are welcome to follow. I write daily for the resistance.
No, it's not. He is not speaking out against authoritarianism or tying to hold anyone accountable. Snoop sold out all his legitimacy with this slide to the right.
Right with you, devastated, completely heartbroken over this one. That man has no idea how many times I have said good things about him. We all thought we could count on the D O double G
The court injunctions are coming, but nothing can stop him from ignoring them. The Nazis have taken control of the U.S. government. If we wish to remain legal, our only chance is to win all three special elections, one in NY and two in FL. If not, it's two years before we get another chance.
Snoop Dogg and Tom Brady preaching about standing up to hate; AFTER Snoop performed at Trump’s inauguration. Supporting a racist, bigoted wannabe dictator isn’t standing against hate. You had your chance. #Hypocrisy #Snoop #SellOut #StandAgainstHate #Complicit #FakeAlly #Superbowl #FuckSnoop
The #CFPB has been gutted; operations halted, HQ locked, funding slashed to zero. Staff ordered to stop oversight. The ONLY reason to kill consumer fraud protections is to enable #ConsumerFraud. This isn’t eliminating waste spending; it’s green lighting corporations to exploit the public.
Love this soo much!
With you!
Please Dm me. I'm interested in your experience and contemplating a similar move.
45 is getting outmaneuvered by China after gutting #USAID. China was ready; they’re stepping in, expanding their influence, and building alliances with nations in need. Foreign aid was less than 1% of the budget, but now #China is gaining ground, strengthening #BRICS while the U.S. loses power.
Eww! no.
Appreciate you for making me laugh so often.
I was with you up until the "by a shark" bit.
I'm just hoping 45 gets mercilessly booed!
He drew a hurricane on a map once!
Real talk: it's important to have some coping mechanisms planned out for your mental health. This news cycle is a firehose of shit. No one can endure a steady stream of it without taking breaks. Do you have any cool things to help you take your mind off the feed? Cool things you want to try?
We shall see, the general public will not stand for what is going on, unfortunately at the moment, most of the American public do not even realize there is a constitutional crisis and a real-time administrative coup d'état happening.
He is not there to run the FBI; he is there to oversee that the FBI becomes dismantled. President Elon, with the help of 45, is attempting to eliminate all government oversight.
Stick with us; we need everyone in the fight. Especially you.
You are a bad ass everyday; I'm proud of you.
"I'd shut down the FBI Hoover building on day one and reopen it the next day as a museum of the deep state." - Kash Patel
Kash Patel took $25K from Russian propaganda firm Global Tree Pictures for an anti-FBI film; plus a producer credit. He even appears in episode 4 of their TV series. And now he wants to RUN the FBI? A Kremlin-backed propagandist in charge of U.S. law enforcement? Absolutely not. #KashPatel
Nobody, don't worry about it.
I feel like this is one of those under-talked-about pieces of the human experience.
Love this soo much!
In a very real way, yes it is. This place is known as the black hole for human rights.
This is bad! Russ Vought, the architect of Project 2025, confirmed as the director of the BMO. The man who openly calls for a “post-constitutional” government now controls the budget. This is how authoritarianism takes hold: putting extremists in power. Block Everything! #RussellVought
Unfortunately, I'm not sure we do. She would already be doing it if she were serious about leading the resistance. She is MIA. I feel like we need to put our support behind the leaders that are emerging. . . @aoc.bsky.social
One of the few bright sides is that in all of this madness we will get to see who the real leaders are.
Yep, feeling it here as well. You are doing a great job, keep it up. It's a pleasure to be writing in this shit-storm alongside you.
Mother Fucking Fetterman, NO!! committing war crimes and invading a sovereign nation is not "Provocative!" FUCK YOU for claiming to be one of us.
"The cruelty is the point." For the first Hitler book burning. Nazis targeted the Institute for Sexual Science, pioneering in LGBTQ+ research, burning its library in 1933, erasing knowledge and identities.
Tell your constituents clearly that you are doing this for a reason, and its to save democracy. You have to stop the first attack before you can prepare for the upcoming battle.
Senate Dems need to shut it all down; Procedural warfare. Demand quorum counts. Object to unanimous consent. Grind everything to a halt with relentless boring bureaucracy. The GOP plays dirty; make every step hell. Use the rules. Stop the madness. Slow it to a crawl; SAY NO! #FightBack
Depends, if you would have done the same to regular box of ice cream sandwiches; you can legitimately consider it a win!
For someone who swore she wanted to be the leader of the MAGA resistance, #Kamala isn't doing much in the way of leading.
The Vatican has plenty of money that they could continue funding CRS if it were a priority.
