@jollygoodginger.bsky.social is in DC with other vets right now standing up for democracy. He's playing General Milleys speech on repeat for them today 💜 #LoveTheVets!
I guess he changed hats and won’t go anywhere near the press for 5 days for no particular reason. Also can’t get any video of him actually playing golf from the usual sources.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
This is the 286th mass shooting recorded in the United States this year alone. It's the fucking guns. 🔥☎️🔥 > 5calls.org/issue/gun-sa...
I just called my two senators (John Cornyn and Ted Cruz) begging them to insure that Kennedy resigns or is fired. This latest debacle at the CDC should be (and hopefully will be) the final straw... If you don't have @5calls.org on your phone, please download it... and then use it.
Starbucks CEO pay: $96 MILLION Starbucks worker pay: $15,000 Coca-Cola CEO pay: $28 MILLION Coca-Cola worker pay: $14,000 CEOs used to make like 20x the average worker. In 2024, the average CEO earned 632x more. The system is rigged.
I am so sorry…been there and it is an unimaginable pain. Take care of yourself!
So sorry for your loss of sweet Sammy😻
This week, a federal judge ruled that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service broke the law when it decided not to protect gray wolves in the Northern Rocky Mountains under the federal Endangered Species Act. www.humaneworld.org/en/blog/laws...
CDC employees standing up and walking out in light of the mass shootings, firings, and *waves hands in the air* everything else. #USAnotRFK Lets gooooo
The same people who villainize Dr. Anthony Fauci, an actual doctor with a speciality in immunology and research in virology, are praising RFK Jr who has never seen the inside of a lab.

GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “Facts are stubborn things… Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas…. Alabama is a top 3 murder state. Where is the President? — He isn’t focused on crime & violence. It’s about an expression of authoritarianism.” (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )
📌 Scientists are not in the business of advancing missions antithetical to public health. ✊🏼
A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship. Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.
Mother Earth is watching. Don't be complicit.
Everyone at the CDC is getting fired or resigning. RFK Jr. wants to ban all vaccines. His idiocy will get millions of people killed.
Thousands of Mike Johnson's own constituents are at risk of losing Medicaid coverage following the passage of a budget bill he pushed for. And it’s all so he could help bankroll more tax cuts for corporations and the super-rich. Don’t let him forget.
Meiselas: I saw a headline, “Trump Stamps Dictator Chic on Washington.” And they don't even see the problem with that. I feel like one of the last survivors sometimes in a zombie movie, where the zombie hasn’t gotten me yet.
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
Like I said. They aren’t embarrassed by history, it’s their playbook.
"Marc Elias’s Democracy Docket has quietly become a pro-democracy media force, expanding its newsroom to 20 staffers as it surpasses 50,000 paid subscribers." Story here: www.status.news/p/democracy-...
Thou shalt not listen to a damn thing that RFK Jr. says.
"Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action." Then why is prayer, literally, *always* the substitute for action, you willfully obtuse asshole?
The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly barring states and organizations that receive government funds from helping undocumented immigrants. This will make it harder for the most vulnerable people to get help in the aftermath of disasters. It was always about cruelty.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
CDC leaders on why the left: “I resigned because I could not be part of the weaponization of public health and CDC… we should always be questioning - but you shouldn’t have a preconceived idea before you have the data.”
In Atlanta, staff at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gathered to applaud colleagues who resigned following the firing of Director Susan Monarez. With four top officials stepping down, many now feel that the CDC is effectively finished.
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC, revealed that RFK Jr. has NEVER been briefed by CDC experts on measles, flu, or Covid: “No one from my center has ever briefed him on any of those topics…He’s getting his information from somewhere”
Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.
How I love this. I hope you do too

Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.

COVID is once again on the rise. Without concrete knowledge of when or if Americans will have access to the new vaccination is unsettling for the millions of Americans who want this and other vaccines that RFK, Jr. has promised to eradicate from our healthcare. www.statnews.com/2025/08/28/p...

NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia is asking a federal judge for a gag order against Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi and their subordinates. w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
Meiselas: It seems that the outcome that Republicans want is whatever the worst possible outcome could be. More disease, more deaths, more murders, a horrible economy. And let’s literally pick the worst people for each possible position at every level.
Seriously @nytimes.com WTF is this as a headline? “Critics see big risks?” How about telling the truth - “authoritarian continues to fire people illegally & we are in flashing red danger”.
THIS 👉🏾 What price are you willing to pay? “You’re letting masked men snatch girls’ parents off the streets.”

Daskalakis: I very specifically use the term pregnant people, and very specifically added my pronouns at the end of my resignation letter to make the point that I am defying this terrible strategy of trying to erase people
Welch: Everybody's missing the point here. The point is, he's doing this on purpose. He's priming the public to get accustomed to having the military in the streets
Constantly amazed by the compassion people show! 💜
Here's some good news: Catelin Drey won a special election this week to flip a seat blue in the Iowa Senate and break Republicans' supermajority.
WHOOPSIE DOODLE
Don’t look away
Welch: He claims that he's the law and order president. But we all know that's a lie because he's a convicted felon. He pardons convicted felons, he surrounds himself with obsequious people that kiss his all day, every day
The erosion of basic principles like due process and the expanding use of our military on domestic soil puts the liberties of all Americans at risk, and should concern democrats and republicans alike.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.

Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
There have been over 500 credible reports of abuse in ICE detention centers since January, including sexual assault, miscarriages, and child neglect. This is why we demand oversight of DHS—and why Rs are doing everything they can to block us from exposing the horrors inside these facilities.
Trump and his DHS masked militia deported a 6-year-old NYC student, locking her in a detention prison, then sending her to Ecuador. DHS is snatching children, disappearing them, and dumping them in countries they barely remember. This is horrific, un-American, and utterly abhorrent.
Unfortunately we still need to be reminded of this lesson by #Superman

Let’s just face it. The GOP cares more about guns than they do about children. They care more about power than they do about science, experts & protecting the health of Americans. It’s not only insane, it’s cruel & immoral.
Two children were killed and seventeen people were injured in a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School. A Cracker Barrel logo change received far more scrutiny and attention than any fight against the epidemic of gun violence in this country. Our priorities remain idiotic.

Someday I am going to write a book about how America managed to create a strain of Christianity that is completely antithetical to, well, Christianity.
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
From August 26th- the raw truth. @hcrichardson.bsky.social Covers #47's mental acuity and mental functioning. A fantasy world wherein he makes up things about himself that are preposterous and grandiose. #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DV1 #Pinks youtu.be/iZ0lB-EOEDI?...
We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
If any previous President tried to fire a member of the Fed he would have been impeached and removed from office in 72 hours.

🎉 Rhode Island advocates worked to #UniteAgainstBookBans and passed a Freedom to Read Act! “In Rhode Island, we promote free expression. We don’t restrict it. And in Rhode Island, we see censorship for what it is: a way to limit what we can learn about the world—and about each other.” — Gov. McKee
Stephen Miller lacks many things, and one of them is a law degree.
Tyrants govern through fear. Dictators take their power from the acquiescence of the good people who don't speak out. It is our obligation as citizens to set aside fear and take a step forward not a step back.
Words cannot adequately describe what a colossal disappointment our mainstream media has been during our slow descent into authoritarianism.

Virginia Giuffre, the sex trafficking victim who accused the Duke of York of sex crimes, wrote an autobiography which will be published posthumously later this year. Giuffre claimed she was forced to have sex with the Duke when she was 17. She died by suicide at the age of 41 in April.
It isn’t just that JD Vance lies constantly. It’s that when he lies he does it with smugness, arrogance and condescension.
Sending troops into US cities against their will. Strong-arming corporations and extracting gifts in exchange for tariff exemptions. Calling on state governments to gerrymander in his favor. Trump is the "big government" nightmare conservatives have always warned us about.
This fucker gave us a corrupt Supreme Court and the country went to hell because of it. Traitor to this Nation.
On this day in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Organic Act, officially creating the National Park Service to protect and preserve America’s natural wonders and historic treasures “for the enjoyment of this and future generations.”
A man, near the White House, who describes himself as a "retired disabled combat veteran," after burning an American flag tells bystanders "I am being detained because I expressed my First Amendment rights."
