Bernie tonight visited another purple congressional district held by a Republican. This one in Kenosha represented by Bryan Steil. The massive turnout should tell you that there's a populist revolt brewing.

People, through their collective action, are sending a message to anyone willing to heed it

Demand that there shall be no Social Security office closures; not a single Veterans clinic should be shuttered by Elon Musk. DOGE is already engaged in government shutdown; we have to ensure appropriate government function for the people. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBVm...

Masha Gessen points out that, unlike most people, Trump doesn't lie to persuade us. His lies are more like those of the bully who's wearing your hat while denying he took it. He's "asserting control over reality itself" to force us either to live in *his* reality or to "resist and become his […]

Every time I write on here, my header encourages you to 'Read Snyder'. Here's an opportunity to watch him. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

Right?

This morning, Trump said," We have to do it," regarding acquiring Greenland. He went on to say, "NATO might have to get involved." Donald Trump is the scourge of the Earth.

❤️‍🩹 @timothysnyder.bsky.social and @sierakowski.bsky.social have raised $1,200,000+ towards ~4 armored evacuation vehicles. Together, we continue raising funds towards UNITED24’s Medical Aid program to help Ukrainian medics. Thank you to everyone who joins in: donorbox.org/support-ukra...

. @khanna.house.gov (D #CA17) is doing town halls 3/23 in the CA GOP-controlled districts of: • David Valadao #CA22 • Young Kim #CA40 • Ken Calvert #CA41 Because these MAGA tools refuse to meet in-person with their constituents LFG! Thank you @rokhanna.bsky.social

Democracy Docket is not on Substack. Yes, it's more difficult to get sign-ups and expensive to operate. But it's worth it. It has no corporate overlords. It is not dependent on investors. It only depends on you. If this is what you value, support it today. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

How are those tariffs going?

Just thinking about what the US looked like before the EPA existed

“we have to be able to commit war crimes to win wars” is the type of thing a 16-year-old dumbass says and — well, yeah, hegseth is basically a 16-year-old dumbass

Media, get this right. If there's a government shutdown, it will be because the Republicans were unable to craft a bill that could pass, and they refused to pass a bill with any input from Democrats.

This is the biggest scam in American history, Trump and Elon should be in prison.

"the plan to shrink IRS staff by up to 50% would — very conservatively — lead to a $400 billion increase in uncollected taxes over the next decade. It could easily mean more than $2 trillion in losses..." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Go ahead and stay silent. Let fear rule you. Watch injustice happen. Just don’t act like you did not know and accept that you are the latest in a long line of cowards who learned nothing from the past. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-c...

He did it again and there’s nobody to stop him. This is another security risk to the country.

JD is a coward, full stop.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

From my whole heart: fuck you trump. Fuck you again. And then again. And then a million times more fuck you. And after that go fuck yourself. Fucking russian asset. Stinky scum. #UkrainianView

I have a dream of Zelensky calling those two russian assets dovboyobs and telling them to go fuck themselves. Probably won't ever happen but it would be justified if it happens. #UkrainianView

My answer to trump and couch fucker jdvance: fuck you. I just donated some more to the Ukrainian army so the chance that your best buddy putin will get a drone in his face is very slightly bigger. And hopefully you will get yours too someday. 🖕🖕🖕 #UkrainianView

This will be remembered as the day when America's honor took a deep dive... And meanwhile #Ukraine will keep fighting for all of us who believe in freedom, justice and democracy #UkrainianView www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol...

The words of support from European states, after unsuccessful negotiations with #Trump, must be followed by decisive military action. Read more about why Europe benefits from Ukraine's victory in the article by Texty.org.ua #StandWithUkraine #UkrainianView texty.org.ua/articles/112...

Нате вам відосик на розкрут. Військові продовжують вбивати русню, волонтери продовжують їм допомагати. Боротьба триває #UkrainianView

You want to cry? Donate. You want to fight? Donate. You are full of rage? Donate. You are ashamed and sorry? Donate. You want a peace for Ukraine and the whole world? Donate. #UkrainianView

This is such a classic case of victim blaming. Forcing the victim to surrender and justifying the aggression is easier than standing up against tyranny. They will not pressure us into compliance. This is not who we are. #UkrainianView

Important update: H5N1 variant D1.1 identified in milk and dairy cattle in Nevada. This is not the same as the variant that has been circulating in cattle until now, it is the one responsible for the death in Louisiana and a severely sick teenager in canada. www.aphis.usda.gov/news/program...

Democratic senators will hold the Senate floor all night long in opposition to the nomination of Russ Vought, an organizer of Project 2025, to head the OMB.

Important point here - Trump is not getting information from Congress or really anyone; witness the mad king water release plan in CA. Tends to lead to disaster for autocrats and soon, if nothing changes, us www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/o...
