Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night.

So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

The U.S. House of Representatives voted Thursday to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a major voter suppression measure that, if it became law, could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters and badly undermine U.S. democracy. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

How do you fight the law if you don’t know what the law is? Or how it works?

Meagan @acrossthepondnback.bsky.social · Apr 10

It’s clear you wanna argue with me, bro, but I’m not sure why. Find someone in MAGA to go fight. I’m just a woman who likes the arts, and clear explanations of how legal processes work.

Again, I was explaining the process of impeachment, not pontificating on whether or not he would be removed.

I was dropping off a book at the Brooklyn Public Library and they were having a read in for banned books. Here are 3 that I loved growing up. #books
#bkpubliclibrary
#bkpl
#brooklyn
#readbannedbooks
#bannedbooks
#inthenightkitchen
#thegiver
#tokillamockingbird

A photo of a sign that says national library week books unbanned read-in, in front of the sign a handholds the book in the night kitchen by Maurice Sendack. The cover has a kid in an Airplane flying over New York City.

assign says : “censorship is a threat to democracy. A vocal minority is restricting access to books and ideas. Public libraries stand for the right to read a long enduring American value.” in front of the sign a hand holds the book “ to kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee. The cover has a tree on it.

A sign reads: books unbanned; get a free library card. Ages 13 to 21? No matter where in the US you live you can get a free library card to access our entire digital collection no questions asked. There is a QR code to scan below the statement.

A sign reads: “censorship is a threat to democracy. A vocal minority is restricting access to books and ideas. Public library stand for the right to read, a long and enduring American value. “ in front of the sign a hand holds the book “the giver” by Lois Lowry

No, but I was talking about the process not the likelihood of conviction.

I will dance in the streets when we vote him out.

Meagan @acrossthepondnback.bsky.social · Apr 9

They were both acquitted by our congress. Impeachment starts the process to remove a president but the congress must still hold hearings and vote before he is removed.

It is. This is textbook abuse on a national level. Rich men who abuse people try to bankrupt their victims so they are scared to fight back. Everything this man does is domestic abuse 101 scaled up to hurt the entire nation.

While we have all been distracted by the stock market the Government is openly impinging on freedom of speech.

Effective immediately, the government says it will begin screening immigrant social media for activity that officials think indicates support for antisemitism.

Impeachment is a many part process but it ends when someone is either acquitted or looses their job.

Book #8 of the Year was an Agatha Christie Mystery. It had all the twists and turns of a standard Christie Mystery but the comic relief of costumes and fake identities, made it a super cozy read. 10/10 #book #vacationread #mysterynovel #agathachristie #cozymysterybooks #booksky

A photo of a hand holding Agatha Christie‘s book titled “Why didn’t they ask Evans?” behind the book is a fireplace with a fire going and a table with a candle on it. The book cover features a young man and woman, dressed in 1930s clothing looking off into the distance.

Book #8 “Miranda in Retrograde” The main character is a TypeA astronomer who is challenged by her best friend to try living by horoscopes for 1 year. I liked the questions that were posed about what we allow to define us in our pursuit of happiness #books #mirandainretrograde #bookreview #booksky

The Book “Miranda in Retrograde” by Lauren Layne is held up by a hand in front of a floral blue and red wallpaper. The cover features a woman with a telescope sitting on a roof, looking over at a man painting her from another roof. The Manhattan skyline is in the distance.

To be fair it is the House of Reps that get numbers based on population and the Dems lost that too. Partially because of Gerrymandering but also because there are a lot of folks who decided not to vote. We need better civics classes to help people understand why voting matters every time.

I just got back from my Amsterdam trip and I can’t say enough how lovely it was. More photos to come but here was a snapshot of my 3rd day in the city. (Also yes I did buy books there and finished 2 abroad). #amsterdam #booksky #travel #europeadventure

three people examine plants in a cobblestone square that has been set up as a flower market.

A row of houseboats on the left with their gang planks, reaching out to a brick street that a woman with a yellow jacket and a man with a backpack walk along. The closest houseboat is green and white and is flying a Palestinian flag that has wrapped around the pole.

A canal in Amsterdam with a red boat, turning towards the right to exit the picture frame. Directly ahead is a bridge that connects two streets full of old Amsterdam homes.

A red brick building stretches across the back with a blue sky above. a cobblestone and brick walkway leads up to the building with white benches green grass and trees on either side.
