This is so unbelievably disgusting.
Definitely this! ⬇️
As Americans, we may no longer be able to say ‘this isn’t who we are’.
But we can still say ‘this isn’t who we should be’.
And whether it’s in the face of cruelty or corruption or hatred or indifference, we ought to repeat that mantra every day to remind ourselves of what we are fighting for.

"We’re watching the flimsy justifications fall apart in real time. They can try to shift the blame. They can try to say that people clinging to wreckage for dear life are somehow an active threat. But in the end, it’s just murder."

Democratic voters are working hard to stop fascism. It would be nice if the leaders of the party joined them.

This is so true. Their aggressiveness is a mask for their cowardice which eventually reveals itself, nonetheless.
Crockett: "Marjorie has been an instigator of a lot of this hate that we see as it relates to MAGA. I don't know if she really fully understood how bad she was making it for other people, and now that they're doing it to her, why is it that everyone else is able to stand and you can't?"

"What did Trump think Epstein was 'stealing' these girls for? Epstein did not own a resort hotel. The answer is that he was recruiting them for his sex trafficking operation. The idea that Trump would have had any uncertainty on that point is absurd." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

This incident is a shocking reminder that the Trump administration's deportation agenda has never been about public safety. State lawmakers must act to protect our communities from violent ICE operations that undermine public safety, separate families, and spread chaos in our communities.

So damn much trauma. And also in Massachusetts, not far from where I sit right now, a 13yo was abducted by ICE and sent out of state. Now he will “voluntarily self deport”. I’ve been trying to amplify this horrific story and would love it if you could help me do so… bsky.app/profile/ruth...
A few weeks ago I wrote about a 13 year old boy from Massachusetts who had been abducted by ICE and sent to a detention center in Virginia. I wrote about the trauma of a child being separated from his family and community, and I posed the question:
What are we doing here?
I have some updates.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.
It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.
It corrupts our political system every day.
