Good morning to the Flatbush Ave center running bus lanes, it’s the first weekday in operation (finally). Wow would you look at that it seems to be fine and rush hour traffic is flowing nicely and the buses are zooming!

hegseth should be impeached for trying to resegregate the military's upper ranks, and i'm going to be extremely annoyed if people start arguing that's not a good reason

Been thinking about this—substance matters but maybe the perceived momentum matters even more. Like, whether you lean more towards accountability or oversight or ___, the goal should be endless activity. Show the country that this Congress is On The Case(s). Democrats are the Do-Something Party.
Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 5d agoThe last time Democrats had something like this margin was in the first two years of the Obama administration (257-178), but that majority was soon crushed by the Tea Party wave in 2010. Political power doesn't last forever. Use it or lose it.
It ain’t necessary to wait until January to reduce Trump-era cruelty in the world.

They never put actual organizers on TV which is why they never fully understand what's happening in the country.
Never ever ever forget that the moment they thought it was safe, they revealed fascist fever dreams of unbelievable cruelty

Sometimes I think “what’s a guy who looks like me even doing on TV?” And then I see Ross Douthat.
Notorious VOG@notoriousvog.bsky.social · last wk.Bari Weiss's resident hack Ross Douthat made a complete fool of himself on 60 Minutes, trying to claim the Saudi lobby has the same grip on Washington as AIPAC. Abdul El-Sayed immediately crushed him: 'AIPAC spent $33 million against me alone! Name another lobby doing that.' It has to make sense!🗳️🌊
Watching the riveting Gibney doc on Musk again, and it's staggering how many people have remained on Twitter after Musk bought it with the express purpose of dismantling democracy and silencing dissent. Trump will be gone and we'll still have Elon. We really are doomed if people don't wake up.
Shout out to all the marginalized folks whose freedom to simply live their lives has been turned into a political football by assholes and whatnot.

Kelly@justkelly.bsky.social · 3w agoTW anti-Black racism Agent Helen Tzelios sent the below text to the couple just as they got out of their car to view an apartment. She intended to send it to the landlord. Just imagine how frequently this happens without people ever finding out. I wanna know the landlord’s identity too.
I was a guest on this week's On The Media to talk about El-Sayed and Tommy, and I'm not even going to pretend to be cool about it. Listen!!!

So when are we going to understand that the plan isn't just to strip her of citizenship. They are going to try and cause physical harm to this woman. People should be more concerned and should have been more concerned this entire time.

The truth is working conditions at Starbucks are getting worse and they’re hoping you won't notice. That's why 12,000 baristas have organized unions and are calling on all customers to BOYCOTT STARBUCKS until a fair union contract is signed!
