Wonderful resistance by Pentagon reporters walking off the job en masse rather than agree to Hegseth censorship.

The WH press corps should be taking note

Journalists turn in access badges, exit Pentagon rather than agree to new reporting rules

Journalists at the Pentagon turned in access badges and cleaned out their workspaces, the price for refusing to agree to new restrictions on their jobs at the seat of U.S. military power.

Are you in CA? Get your Prop 50 ballot returned ASAP.

Try to deliver it by hand, the mail isn’t as trustworthy as it used to be.

Barack Obama @barackobama.bsky.social · 2d

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

I am not an expert partisan communicator or anything but for months, it was weird to me how so many Dem leaders and key figures just didn’t tack on things like “… while using armed troops to invade american cities, and using your tax dollars to fund a secret police terrorizing your town” even as…

Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"

People like this do not give a damn about every day taxpayers. They care only about making everyone else adhere to their religious values. They care about power. They care about their rich friends. They do not care about you.

Guy on the left side of the frame is a co-author of project 2025. He’s responsible for gutting funding for HIV and AIDS services, leading to tens of thousands of deaths in Africa, setting us back decades in public health. He’s a religious extremist. Check out this data:

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

To those of you who have contributed to sex worker organizations, or given SW activists extra cash to share to those who need it…thank you! Your generosity is so crucial and put to such good work during these truly fucked up times 🌟

Hosted a DIY spa slumber party for activists in New England, last night. Before we chilled out and did each other’s nails, we all wrote letters to the governor of New York, encouraging her to design the sex worker immunity bill.

This event was made possible by tye support of fans & allies 💜
