Pretty sooner will go backwards to a point that women won’t have a vote nor will men who don’t own land have a vote! @usdoj.bsky.social is just fascist! As long as the Republicans keep greasing the wheels with free cash, trips and other perks.

Major news outlets are standing together and refusing to sign. ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News have all rejected a new Pentagon policy that would impose unprecedented restrictions on news gathering.

Proof that @republicanparty.bsky.social hates women, healthy Americans, the young and old. But they do love money for their campaigns to stay on the government gravy train, their checks keep coming in the shutdown they orchestrated!

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

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics.

That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

A federal court just blocked a ridiculous law that banned almost all speech on public college campuses in Texas after 10 p.m., including student journalism.

Huge win by @thefireorg.bsky.social defending the First Amendment.

Free speech doesn’t have a curfew.

VICTORY: Federal court halts Texas’ ‘no First Amendment after dark’ campus speech ban

A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction blocking the University of Texas from enforcing a law that bans virtually all free speech on public university campuses after dark

I find it distressing that @republicanparty.bsky.social is presenting the “No Kings” protest as a “Hate America Rally”

Do Democrats want to cut healthcare, decrease SNAP benefits, make voting as difficult as possible, and ignore the rule of Law and Constitutional laws? Anyone?

Robin @h20bug55.bsky.social · 3h

These are not just protests about policy disputes, they are protests about the very nature of how our government is being run.

ICE & other federal agents, lawlessly detaining & abusing U.S. citizens & others legally in our country because of how they look, not because they committed a crime.

We have equally unlawful firings of federal employees during a government shutdown, happening because a Republican president & GOP majorities in both houses of Congress can’t govern – they were unlawful.

Changes on a whim & has sent us into a jobs recession while stoking more inflation. We have publicly ordered, flimsy prosecutions of political enemies, even as veteran U.S. prosecutors & Justice Department officials are being fired & resigning rather than follow unlawful & unethical orders.

How did we get here? “No Kings” protests.

We don’t have a king, we do have a hot mess in this country thanks to a chaotic & impulsive president & his administration.

We have an unlawful & economically damaging tariff regime.

So @floridagop.bsky.social explain exactly what the definitions of theses are!

independent, objective, and nonpartisan manner;

Do you include MAGA wishes and curriculum? What about unvarnished history! Are you undoing the changes the @govrondesantits.bsky.social has made or are those OK!
