Marta Urquilla @martau.bsky.social · 13/03/2025And yet, check his voting record on nominees. Yesterday he was on the fence about the CR. What line do Senate Dems think they’re supposed to be holding? This vote is a no-brainer, shouldn’t take a public outcry for Dems to vote No. Sand in the gears. 7 weeks late… 030
Marta Urquilla @martau.bsky.social · 13/03/2025You lost me when you justified attending 47’s address to Congress, praising his actions on immigration. Nvm your YES votes on nominees. Now you’re on the fence about the CR that cuts $1B from the District of Columbia’s budget. Senior Dems have lost their way & their voice. 020
Marta Urquilla @martau.bsky.social · 06/03/2025Stand out. Someone has to. It is easy, in words and deeds, to follow along. It can feel strange to do or say something different. But without that unease, there is no freedom. And the moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow. Timothy Snyder, On Tyranny 051

Marta Urquilla @martau.bsky.social · 21/02/2025When the story of these astronauts being stranded first broke we were in the midst of the general election campaign.

At my Oval photo, my kid brought a drawing for the president. We got held at the gate so the drawing could be scanned. But Elon Musk can waltz right in w/external servers & private employees like no prob? 051
