I am proud to be a member of @TeachersUnify . Gun violence is a teacher issue. It’s a student issue. It’s a parent issue. It’s a human rights issue. #EndGunViolence #SchoolStories #AFT #NYSUT

This is the biggest labor fight that nobody is talking about — it involves more than 250,000 workers and impacts every block of every city and suburb in America.

BREAKING: The House just rejected a bill that could have given the Trump administration the power to crush dissent and go after political enemies.

This is a victory for all our right to speak truth to power.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Call your Congressman (especially if they're a Democrat) and tell them to vote against this bill today.

It gives Trump a new power to declare any non-profit a "terrorist supporting organization" and shut them down. Disaster in the making.

"Sexist and abusive attacks on women, like 'your body, my choice' and 'get back to the kitchen,' have surged across social media since Donald Trump's reelection, according to an analysis from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue." https://t.co/qC8WxqVdpK

BREAKING: We’re challenging Kentucky’s abortion bans on behalf of a pregnant woman seeking abortion care.

The bans violate our client’s right to self-determination and privacy, as guaranteed in the Kentucky Constitution.

The media wanted Trump to win because they thought it meant nonstop news cycles and ratings. What they did not factor into their calculation was a lot of people utterly tuning them out. #FAAFO

Hey MAGA. I wanted you to have healthcare and a livable wage and child care and lower taxes and your student debt forgiven and for you to have bodily autonomy and low prices. Now you can fucking sit in it. Enjoy.

They’re gonna deport children who were born here in the interest of “national security”, but the guy who kept our nuclear secrets in his fucking bathroom gets to be president.

The House has voted to finally pass the Social Security Fairness Act. This is a huge milestone for retired who’ve worked hard to right this wrong.

[Ricky Davila @TheRickyDavila]

MSNBC and CNN are both reporting record losses in viewers.

Good, perhaps they should’ve been more focused on defending our democracy than normalizing a traitor. FAFO.

Once again, I remind everyone. If your kid breaks their ankle laying basketball and needs a special accommodation at school (wheelchair ramp, medical aid, etc.) that money comes from the Department of Education. To screw over a couple thousand trans kids, we’re screwing millions.

I think one of the most difficult reckonings of this election is that the incentives we thought inspired voting choices -- a better life for your family and future for your community -- may not be as decisive as the desire to dominate and inflict cruelty on outgroups. Explanations that don't grapple with this point generally read to me like liberal wishcasting.

[Dan Przygoda @dprzygoda]

I keep reading all these accounts from Trump voters who claim "Oh, I didn't know about that policy," or "Oh, I never heard him say that."
I say BS, but ok, let's follow that logic down: If you didn't hear any of his policies or what he said THEN WHAT WERE YOU VOTING FOR?

[Wajahat Ali @WajahatAli]

After spending the last week talking to so many people from different communities, including Trump, Stein and Harris voters, I am increasingly convinced the main thing, maybe the only thing, that can weaken Trump and MAGA is suffering. Immense suffering and regret over the next 4 years is the only hope for 2028.

Even the most smart and informed people have normalized Trump, forgot his threats, deluded themselves or have incorrect facts and right wing talking points.

I don't know how to counter it. Nothing comes close to the right wing information domination.

She's a hero to this country. The failures are those who voted for their own doom or chose not to vote at all

[Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com on Bsky @ErinInTheMorn]

Governor Andy Beshear, in a Trump +30 state, gives advice to Democrats: Do not throw LGBTQ+ people under the bus, it will not work.

His advice to dems: Lead on your values.

This man ran on a fully inclusive campaign in 2023 and won. He received the same kind of ads Harris did.

[Dave Peasant, Aspiring Lorax @aspiringpeasant]

I saw something last might about this. How MAGAs are no longer gloating about "liberal tears" because liberals aren't crying.

The first time was a shock.

The second time everyone knew exactly what they were doing.

So liberals see this, rightly, as an assault on American values and the futures of their children and grandchildren.

They're not crying, they're cutting fascists out of their lives because now they've got to deal with the world the trolls made.

And so the trolls are all stuck with one another now, but the problem is their primary motivation was gloating over the Liberal Tears. So they're out of steam. And the MAGAs actually fucking hate *each other* too, so I'm the absence of snowflake tears they're quickly going to turn on one another.

When you elect fascism in my country you have told me who you are. You are full of hatred for the most vulnerable people in our society. You don't care about the environment or public health or education or human rights or the rule of law.

Fine, but we don't owe you a second more of our lives so you can feel better reveling in our sadness. We've gotta deal with the shitshow you've brought to our shores, so suck it up, buttercups.

[Americans For Tax Fairness @4TaxFairness]

The cost of eggs is higher because Kroger, Costco, Albertsons, Target, and Walmart raised prices.

These five corporations have reported over $29 billion in profits.

Trump wants to give them a $1.7 billion yearly tax break.

Yes, really.
