My son is on Medicaid. His disability is an extremely serious involving severe continuous pain, and often a motorized wheelchair (we bought). We parents are doing ALL we can to get him medical treatment, pouring our savings. Medicaid covers a small portion of his treatment. Don't cut our Medicaid!

You can’t make this up! Edward Coristine, a protege of Musk’s at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), gained notoriety for his checkered early tech career & for glorying in the nickname “Big Balls”, is the GRANDSON of a KGB spy, according to a new report. Insane! What are the odds?

You cannot be pro-Trump and pro-democracy at the same time.

The more you know…

Dudes, call your elected officials. Early on in the first administration, it was found 86% of calls were being made by women. Maybe that's changed in the second administration, but...nearly everyone I talk to who's making consistent calls are women. /1

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman.”

This Is Trump’s America 🇺🇸 www.cnn.com/2025/02/22/u...

When Republicans had sanity and a bit of integrity

No more fire fighters for you I guess.

The American Nazis want to fight it out. They want a brawl. They want America to not be kind and generous but to be dangerous and mean. To take it back we’re going to have to get ruthless. Not illegal. We’re smarter than they are. Good ppl don’t want to live like this. We need to point out that we…

It is notable that Big Law is completely absent from the legal fights to protect democracy. In 2017, they bragged about their pro bono work for the resistance. Now, they are silent -presumably cowering in fear of Trump and Musk. Support the non-profit law orgs and small firms doing this hard work.

Every morning, I open my eyes and think what illegal, disgusting, cruel, dangerous things will they do today.

Wired is doing amazing work.

We ALL need to be using SM to organize and take action. Don’t just sit on here and scroll and comment. Use it to organize and act goddamnit question!! Comer is blocking the oversight committee from subpoenaing musk. We all need to call and demand it!!! I just did. 202-225-3115.

Call the US government today, flood the lines and apply maximum pressure. Demand they do their jobs, arrest Musk, and impeach Trump. 5 minutes, 5 calls, repeat. #3E

I just used @5calls.org ’s app to call both my senators, my governor, and both state reps to urge them to oppose the radical actions of this new administration. Posting on social media isn’t enough. Take action. Making calls like these is a good start. #2+2=4 apps.apple.com/us/app/5-cal...

🚨 Elon Musk is an unelected billionaire now equipped with untethered access to our government's most sensitive data, payment and communication systems. Call your reps to demand they fight against this unlawful and dangerous takeover! 🔥📞🔥 Info, numbers & script here: 5calls.org/issue/elon-m...

Please please use this app to call your reps in Congress . It’s easy it works we need to do it!!!!!!

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love. I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

🚨WATCH: This powerful video will move you. No matter what comes next, we’ll face it together 💙
