My friend accidentally got someone else's grocery delivery. She emailed her apartment complex's listserv asking who they belong to, but no reply. At what point is it fair for her to keep them?
The past 100 days have been hard, there’s no denying that. But @rahnamepting.bsky.social reminds us that in the past 100 days, we’ve also seen bold and courageous action. Let’s keep it up! 🗣 #Next100Days
Not “what” was the motivation, but “WHO”! 💯 Thank you @booker.senate.gov. Thank you to MoveOn members across the country who have been meeting the moment and demanding more from our leaders. #Next100Days
For the #Next100Days, we need leaders like @governorwalz.mn.gov to keep showing up for us, and we need YOU to keep making your voices heard. 💪
For the data nerds out there, here's a chart of the largest coordinated protests in U.S. history from my 2018 book HOW TO READ A PROTEST Today's "Hands Off" protests, in 1000+ locations around the country, rank as one of the very largest decentralized days of protests EVER.
Epting: Today is a big day. We’ve got over 1,300 activations—protests, rallies, all different types of events—where folks are coming out to make their voices heard. They’re doing exactly what you said: demanding that Trump, Musk, and the Republicans keep their hands off the things we hold so dear
We need a unified Democratic opposition to meet the severity of this moment. If you're not willing to fight for us, then you're going to hear from us.
For Democrats, it’s time to fight back. Nearly EVERY House Democrat and most Senate Democrats said NO to Trump and Elon's billionaire takeover and fought for their constituents' Medicaid and Social Security.
The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.
Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa. I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:

so here is the thing, the people who have trump the win did not vote for this. they voted out of a magical belief that trump would lower prices and make them rich. the gap between what they voted for and what trump will deliver is the space for political opportunity! bsky.app/profile/fkes...
fkess23@fkess23.bsky.social · 2y agoThis is what the country voted for. Sad.
The reason we know about RFK Jr’s brain worm is that he mentioned it during a divorce deposition, to argue that he was cognitively impaired and therefore had limited earning potential. Now he’s up for a cabinet post www.nytimes.com/2024/05/08/u...
between anti-abortion extremists and rfk the trump administration seems to be a targeted effort to increase maternal and early childhood mortality
RFK Jr. says he's gonna have Trump remove fluoride from the US water supply. I asked the dentists serving in Congress—all of whom are Republicans—about it. The consensus: banning fluoride will rot American kids' teeth www.thebulwark.com/p/gop-dentis...

“It would be good for the dental profession. A lot more cavities to fill.”
