They don’t GAF about the Constitution, and they’ll do whatever it takes to keep Trump breathing long enough to seize a third term.

So when you start thinking your vote doesn’t matter, remember this: they know it does. That’s why they’re trying to take it from you.

This isn’t going to end well.

A Navy veteran rips Trump’s shutdown apart: “They’re cutting back medical help in the hospital. You’re cheating the veterans out of everything. President Trump, what are you doing? You don’t love American veterans?”

Every Trump cut bleeds those who bled for this country.

Today, the people of Little Village showed the nation what courage looks like: standing unarmed, united, and unafraid in the face of ICE’s tear gas and violence.

They protected their neighbors, not with weapons, but with solidarity. Chicago’s heart beats strongest when its people rise together. 💙

What Trump and his newly elevated election deniers are plotting IS the national emergency. Americans and Democratic leaders need to take this very seriously. It's the final step in their coup.

In MI, SNAP benefits have been ORDERED to be suspended by the federal govt. They are targeting the most vulnerable yet again. The goal of our federal govt seems to be to cruel at every turn to those who need the help the most while giving extra benefits to those who need them the least.

Every day at 9 a.m., Ukrainians observe a moment of silence for those killed by Russia.
Why are only asking 2 men about sexual violence?
Well said Eimer. The conversation needs to be about male violence against women - with or without immigration there has long been a crisis of gender based violence - against women and children. #speirgorm

"Catherine Connolly so far-left that she's from Galway" is a fine joke that works on a few levels and I'm annoyed I didn't think of it until today.
See the hurdle put up to prevent people from voting: a doctor's cert. No allowance for old age, illness, temporary disability or personal holidays. Why are we trying to make voting difficult?

We need to look at making it easier to vote. We have a 50% turnout in this house as one voter is out of the country. We allow prisoners postal votes but not ordinary citizens. At minimum there should be a chance to vote early in a city/county hall before voting in local polling stations on the day

Behind all the shitshow clownery, bluster, racism, and fascist authoritarianism, this is what Trump is *really* all about:

Allowing the super-rich to get even richer by trashing what's left of wild nature and a stable climate.

In the west, @irishrainforest.bsky.social has been letting the forest speak for itself — watching a mountainside return to life.

When we stop managing and start listening, the land remembers how to be wild. 🌿

Pádraic Fogarty @whittledaway listens with honesty.
His work reminds us that hope for nature isn’t naive — it’s necessary.
Calling out the damage is part of fixing it.

The “Listen to the Earth” post has travelled far.
Maybe you know someone who listens quietly — a neighbour, teacher, child, or gardener who notices the small things.
Tag them here — people who listen should be heard.

The world doesn’t need more noise.
It needs us to stop — to notice, to listen.

#ListenToTheEarth — you might hear yourself. 🌿

A small thread on people who do exactly that — each in their own way.
