Sen. Mark Kelly: "If you say something that the president or this administration does not like, they're going to come after you. The president is trying to silence us, and I can't think of anything that's more un-American."

We must get back to a 🌎 where when someone lies, we say “lie.” I don’t get why it’s forbidden to identify this act w/ precisely the correct word. He just said gas prices are down, i.e. LIED 🛑 him, say lie. “But aren’t they up [blah, blah, blah]” ain’t it. Call out the lie. Powerful, helps society.

While death and destruction rained down on Iran during the war’s first month, the world’s 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits. Yes, $30 million per HOUR. All because of the deadly and reckless decision making of one man.

Just a reminder to Congress: Any time you send soldiers to another country to start bombing shit and shooting at shit and killing the people of that country, THAT IS A WAR. If your President is DOING WAR without Congressional Approval, THAT IS A CRIME AND HE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE.

First the city council in this Missouri city approved a $6 billion data center, despite massive pushback. Then, during yesterday’s election in Festus, MO, residents overwhelmingly voted to kick out the incumbents who voted for the project. America is fed up with data centers.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

Oh, this is good. Idaho passed a bill banning local cities from flying the Pride flag. So the cities decided to wrap the poles themselves in pride colors. This is amazing.

A screenshot of a Facebook post by CBS 2 Boise. The post text reads: "A new state law required the City of Boise to take down the Pride flag outside City Hall. Tuesday morning, the City wrapped flag poles in Pride colors and added a new sign to the window on City Hall. CBS2 reached out to the Mayor and Governor’s office for comment."
​Below the text is a collage of three photos showing these updates:
​Left: A tall metallic flagpole in a plaza at night, with its lower section wrapped in horizontal stripes matching the colors of the Progress Pride flag (black, brown, light blue, pink, white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple).
​Top Right: A closer view of a flagpole base, also wrapped in horizontal Progress Pride flag colors.
​Bottom Right: A large window on City Hall featuring a graphic with diagonal stripes in the Progress Pride colors alongside the text, "Creating a city for everyone."

Your voices are working. Our Save the Forest Service site has been updated with the five companies who have spoken out. Patagonia, REI, Columbia Sportswear, Orvis, and Black Diamond. Each one links directly to their post so you can thank them publicly.

He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.

Just a reminder to Congress: Any time you send soldiers to another country to start bombing shit and shooting at shit and killing the people of that country, THAT IS A WAR. If your President is DOING WAR without Congressional Approval, THAT IS A CRIME AND HE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE.

Y'all there is a woman and a black man circling the moon and NASA's mission control+ science teams are so diverse and people are nerding out about science and exploration this is all a gigantic middle finger to the stupid and hate and grotesque ghouls running our country

Not a single lawbreaking ICE agent has been arrested these past 14 months. Not a single state has had the balls or the morality to do so. The rule of law is dead in the USA and replaced by the rule of terrorism. I grieve for us all.

Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.
