Mass protests happening across the United States against the Trump regime. Here you have New York, Florida, DC, Ohio. All 50 states expected to have protests. #3E #Handsoff #FiftyFiftyOne 📷 @bugged-n-baffled.bsky.social @jennydee.bsky.social @simonwdc.bsky.social @jaymee513.bsky.social

Great turnout at the #FiftyFiftyOne #HandsOff protest in #ThousandOaks today! Great to see so many people causing #GoodTrouble! @indivisible.org @indivisibleconejo.bsky.social @indivisiblevent.bsky.social

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history! Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.

Some of his readers have asked Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social why his technology news site, Tech Dirt, has been covering politics so intensely lately. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w... I cannot recommend Mike's reply enough. It's exactly what readers need to hear, what journalists need to do.

Wow. 😳

“Trump and Vance appear to have entered the meeting with the intention of berating Zelensky and drawing him into an argument as a pretext for the diplomatic break,” Jonathan Chait writes: theatln.tc/ejdvMpQT

President President Zelensky is a hero. Today made it very clear that Trump is a Russian asset. His codename is Krasnov. www.kyivpost.com/post/47630

I firmly stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦

6 weeks ago, Ukraine was our ally, and we were supporting Ukraine in their fight against Russian aggression. The only that that’s changed is Donald Trump, and everything America represents in the world.

Since Jan 16, trump's Department of Homeland Security now green-lights warrantless criminal investigation of LGBTQ2IA+ people solely because of our gender identities and sexual orientations. This has profound implications for the privacy of medical records. #transgenderrights #lgbtqiarights #lgbtq

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

Amanda Zurawski has been named one of TIME magazine’s Women of the Year. Amanda’s Story: Citing the state’s abortion laws, Texas doctors denied Amanda Zurawski emergency medical care when her water broke at only 18 weeks of pregnancy. It was September of 2021, and Amanda was miscarrying. Her…

Mark my words — Republicans are going to get absolutely DESTROYED in the 2026 House elections.

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

Tonight please join the protest to protect #transyouth care. #CHLA has hauled their gender affirming care due to Trump's hateful #ExecutiveOrder against the #trans community. #ResistTrump #resistance #transgenderrightsarehumanrights #transgenderrights

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

In 1923 Adolf Hitler incited an insurrection against the German government. He was tried, given a slap on the wrist, and became a convicted felon. Despite being treated charitably by the judge, Hitler claimed the trial was political persecution and successfully portrayed himself as a victim of /1

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Not exaggerating when I say that the path back is going to be built on people in positions of influence regaining their sense of self-respect. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Internal State Department guidance I obtained says U.S. passports must reflect gender based on “sufficient evidence of biological sex at birth” — or absent that, “all available evidence establishing biological sex at birth by a preponderance of evidence.”

American Medical Association is providing regular updates on bird flu and other infectious diseases on YouTube. I highly recommend subscribing to their page, especially since CDC has been axed by FOTUS #Voices4Victory m.youtube.com/user/AmerMed...

Cheney to Vance: “You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you’re losing. That’s tyranny.”

JD Vance is saying the quiet part out loud: the Trump administration intends to break the law. America is a nation of laws. The courts make sure we follow the laws. The VP doesn’t control the courts, and the President cannot ignore the Constitution. No one is above the law.

Open message to Elon Musk: Rumors are swirling that you’re spending $40 million on Super Bowl ads targeting USAID. If there were truly fraud, wouldn’t you not need to spend millions trying to convince people?

Donald Trump is an absolute disgrace, and an embarrassment to this Nation.

Wired: A US Treasury threat intelligence analysis has designated DOGE staff an ‘insider threat'. An internal email calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.” #ProudBlue #DOGEshit
