These are the Democrats who voted for the SAVE act which will disenfranchise tens of millions of people, including married women who changed their maiden name: Jared Golden (Maine), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.), Henry Cuellar (Texas) Ed Case (Hawaii).

These are dangerous times.

I joined Ali Velshi last night on MSNBC’s The Eleventh Hour to discuss the Chief Justice’s rebuke of the President. I explained that America is in a constitutional crisis when, rather than faithfully executing the laws, the President of the United States is defying the laws.

Let’s face it, Schumer has been terrible even before this. It is time for new leadership. He isn’t the person for this moment in history, and the longer he clings to power the worse off we all are.

Jacksonville, Florida. Showing up, just one of 21 protests in Florida today. All part of the #50501movement . We've had enough and aren't going to give up our country to traitors, fraudsters, criminals and agents of Russia. Power to the people.

He we go...so much incompetence.

CRASH 📉📉📉 The Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model now estimates U.S. real GDP growth for Q1 at -2.8%, down even further from last week’s forecast of -1.5%. Just a month ago, the estimate was about +4%.

If we could only get these two elected.

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

Scary. Hate to say this, but it's time to Lock Him Up!

Blumenthal: "It would be one thing if we had some disinterested, impartial business person -- highly successful -- looking at ways to make our govt more efficient and save money. That's not what's happening here. Elon Musk is doing a power grab & information heist, the biggest in American history"

Got a Tip? Are you a current or former employee with the Office of Personnel Management or another government agency impacted by Elon Musk? We’d like to hear from you. Using a nonwork phone or computer, contact Vittoria Elliott at vittoria_elliott@wired.com or securely at velliott88.18 on Signal."

Just enjoying a beautiful Florida February. Sun, music, community on display. We will still enjoy our neighbors as we prepare to do what it takes to have our fair share. Best photo bomb happening. Do you see it?

Florida, is it going to happen here?

Ok Bluesky friends, please spread the word. Protests happening across the US at state capitols on 2/5/25. Please show up if you can. #protest #ice #trump #fascism #bluesky #news

Today I called Florida Senators Scott and Moody and urged them to vote no on RfK jr to head of the department of health and human services. Vote is Wednesday Left message with Scott, Moody's Washington DC line wasn't accepting messages and I had to email. I did something. You? #activism #tyranny

I've read today where DeSantis wants to install a new board at Univ of West Florida. Also I heard Shady Vance quote Nixon and called professors the enemy. It's why I'm supporting United Faculty of Florida. Universities and education are always the targets of fascist movements.

I would love to know what was in Thomas Matthew Crooks mind when he climbed up to the roof of a building with a weapon at the Trump rally in Butler. He was an academically smart young man, his SAT scare was 70 points shy of perfect. Link to report 🧵What made him do something so stupid. #butlerPA.

DeSantis and GOP have plans to further limit citizen's ability to amend state constitution. Restrictions on ballot initiative signature collections would prevent citizens from organizing. Pat attention locally We want our voice to be heard. We want democracy. www.tampabay.com/news/florida...

tampabay.comDeSantis' proposals for Florida’s ballot initiative process could effectively end itThe governor’s proposals include eliminating signature gathering as it exists now.

Good morning BlueSky community. Celebrating MLK Day with this quote. “We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” —Letter from a Birmingham Jail, 1963

"We must walk on in the days ahead with an audacious faith in the future." Martin Luther King. Here in Jacksonville, FL @ 38th MLK JR Breakfast. This weekend I will celebrate those who strive for liberty and justice, those who work for peace and community. I hope I can be counted among them.

I'm glad and surprised with this decision. That any of the justices voted to stay sentencing show just how broken the court is.

CALL TO ACTIVISM@calltoactivism.bsky.social

BREAKING NEWS In a 5-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has DENIED Donald Trump’s request to stop his New York criminal case sentencing this Friday. Thomas, Gorsuch, Alito, and Kavanaugh would have stayed Trump’s sentencing.

Don't forget the joy and beauty to be found in this world. It is a reminder of what we are fighting to protect. Here in Florida, on this frightfully cold morning of 32 degrees, the sunrise comes again. Days will come and go and I'll remain in Florida holding space for the return of democracy.

Zuckerberg's capitulation to the new regime is gonna make it so much easier to leave all of those products. Maybe except Whatsapp. It is going to be hard but I'm looking at deleting my Facebook, Instagram and threads accounts on January 20th. I think that would be fitting and an honor to MLKing.

The very first presidential candidate I voted for in 1980. He lost, many of my candidates have lost over the last 40 years. He was a good man, better than most politicians, and our country probably didn't deserve him. Wake up America. Let's do better, let's learn from peanut farmer Jimmy Carter.
