News outlets like @wsj.com have a critical responsibility to report the truth.
Promoting false information that ties our LGBTQ+ community to the Utah shooting is reckless, irresponsible, and puts trans people especially in danger.
Anyone with a platform must do better. Lives are on the line.
Damn right.
Elon Musk Appears to Be Breaking Wisconsin Law Against Vote Buying in Offering a Chance to Win $1 Million to Anyone Who Voted in Wisconsin Supreme Court Race electionlawblog.org?p=149196
This latest vote-buying scheme by Musk incredibly corrupt, at same time Tesla suing Wisconsin, and likely illegal
It is a felony in Wisconsin to offer, give, lend or promise to lend or give anything of value to induce a voter to cast a ballot or not vote.
Elon Musk has committed a blatant felony by offering money for votes in order to help Brad Schimel. This is a chainsaw attack on democracy and the rule of law. Musk should be brought to justice immediately. 🧵
“Elon Musk has committed a blatant felony by offering money for votes in order to help Brad Schimel. Musk’s illegal election bribery scheme to put Brad Schimel on the Supreme Court is a chainsaw attack on democracy and the rule of law in Wisconsin and our nation. Elon Musk should be brought to justice for his illegal attempt to buy votes for Brad Schimel, and Brad Schimel should immediately condemn Musk’s crimes and disavow his continued involvement in his campaign. If Schimel does not immediately call on Musk to end this criminal activity, we can only assume he is complicit. Law enforcement must act now before this goes any further. Musk’s crime to assist Brad Schimel has already been committed, and if Elon Musk sets foot in Wisconsin, he should be placed in handcuffs and held accountable—just like any other criminal. Musk can have his day in court, but he cannot buy the court.
Here’s our full statement from me for @wisdems.bsky.social.

MA residents, please join me in calling Governor Healey's office to demand action and a response to these brazen kidnappings carried out by ICE on the streets of our cities.
If you'd like a script, we've provided one - full copy in the alt text.
Her office's number is 617 725 4005.
Flood it!
American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY
Will the Trump administration remove honors for Ted Williams from the VA website?
Why is recognizing the Splendid Splinter more worthy than recognizing Jackie Robinson?
One of the worst Sen Dems w propensity to cave to the Trump regime & one of the most reportedly ardent advocates for surrender to Republicans on recent Republican funding bill giving Musk/Trump blank checks is a crypto champion.
She also leads Dem's campaign arm sending you 🗑️ emails begging for $.
Posting tonight ti shine a light on what the Alien Enemies Act looks like IRL. Our @immdef.bsky.social client fled Venezuela last year & came to US to seek asylum. He has a strong claim. He was detained upon entry because ICE alleged his tattoos are gang related. They are absolutely not. 🧵
SICKENING—Trump’s DHS just deported a surgeon from Brown—who is here legally on an H1B visa that doesn’t expire until 2027, & committed no crimes. Trained in the U.S. at Ohio State, University of Washington, and Yale as a **transplant surgeon**, she is a highly trained doctor on kidney transplants.
Tim Walz is correct. I hope whichever advisor on the Harris campaign said "we need to tone this guy down" never works in politics again
If this is all a headfake by @schumer.senate.gov to fool Dem voters into believing Senate Dems tried to stop the Trump/Musk destruction while voting for cloture to enable it, that's going make Dems' electoral problems even worse. They will have proven to their base that voting for them is pointless.
👀 🚨🚨 House Dems want hold the line vs Musk/Trump and are calling our @schumer.senate.gov:
"If Chuck Schumer can’t get us a better vote, he should resign."
House Dems are hearing us - let's keep pressuring Schumer/Senate Dems - #NotOneVote 4 Musk/Trump (202) 224-3121 www.cnn.com/2025/03/11/p...
I said what I said: calls to move the Dem party to the “center” are bad politics & risk betraying Dems’ core values. Instead, the party must forcefully defend democracy against authoritarian capture: rule of law, anti-corruption & econ populism are winning positions. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/o...
that the decision to single out, detain &persecute someone for their political speech was made by those at the highest levels is the purest distillation of fascism. so many dems are silent bc, by framing anti-genocide speech as antisemitic for over a year, they helped create the conditions for this
LEADERSHIP
“DOGE’s ransacking of federal agencies has sown tremendous chaos, instilled distrust among the American people, and has caused deep harm to our country,”
yeah it’s just true. but it’s also true that the angry base is wildly misidentifying what fighting looks like.
this will probably be better after we get past confirmations, which are the worst terrain for legislative resistance
It's a scam, it's a grift, it's a crime spree
There's so much other good stuff in here, including some stark clarity on who is and who is not responsible for the Harris campaign trajectory.
