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...

A long time ago my community was under siege & the reaction was to play nice. There were proper ways to channel your concerns & damn it we were nothing if not rule followers. Until Larry Kramer. He urged us to act up, not be polite. I wrote about him this week. 1/ www.thenation.com/article/acti...

This is not good. Come. On.

Major Update: Democracy Forward's emergency motion was granted after reports the Trump admin explicitly told staff to ignore court's "irrelevant" ruling and continue enforcing anti-equity executive orders. Learn more about our request for immediate court intervention: bit.ly/41S47TI

What's most frustrating about Schumer and too many Dems is that they're thinking about poll numbers and mid-terms (& the shutdown cave-in doesn't even work on those terms). He betrays no realization that the system itself is on the line.

I wrote about the hearing that may determine whether Trump is able to corrupt the legal profession: “The president, Judge Howell concluded is entitled to his beliefs, preferred causes & dislikes but he can’t target lawyers representing his political opponents” joycevance.substack.com/p/yesterday-...

By supporting this NOT CLEAN CR, you are literally empowering Trump Musk and them to continue to dismantle the government and fire civil servants. So, is it really about a shutdown? They are already shutting it down!

Meta's trying to suppress Sarah Wynn-Williams book because it exposes what an amoral man child Mark Zuckerberg is and how Facebook "doesn't give a fuck" about people. Sarah, who is a friend, knows what she's talking about. She worked at Meta for years. Buy her book! www.amazon.com/Careless-Peo...

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

AOC should announce a primary against Schumer tonight.

Truly honored to meet with our leader our fighter in Maryland. Thanks for having our back Gov.

Tesla vehicles are no longer eligible for provincial EV rebates in British Columbia.

CHUCK SCHUMER HAS TO GO. He’s way past his best by date and I’m not talking about age, I’m talking about usefulness. Senate Dems need to step up and have some courage.

Yes he did!

I have to say: Chuck Schumer is a weak man and a fool. This was the one cudgel Dems had. Now it's up to the courts which we new from the beginning were at best going to slow some things down. There's 18 hours left to somehow bring additional pressure to bear. It will be really hard to do that.

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.

"First They Came for Columbia" "We must learn from the past. We cannot remain silent in the face of authoritarian attacks on our peers, even if they have not yet come for us." Me and Levitsky in the Harvard Crimson www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

This makes me furious.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

Warner and Hickenlooper have videos up where they say they are no's on cloture, a good sign that grassroots pressure is working; hit them with some positive reinforcement.

If Chuck Schumer enjoys a single day in NYC for the rest of his life without being told to go fuck himself at least once, then NYC will have utterly failed as a society.

BREAKING: Deadly H5N1 Mutation Detected in U.S. Dairy Herds Experts Warn of Rising Pandemic Risk Scientists are alarmed by a newly identified H5N1 mutation found in four U.S. dairy cow herds, raising concerns about its potential spread.

Wow. Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC. “I’m a veteran & you don’t give a fuck about me. You don’t get to do this to us!” Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out. We’re approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.

'Make it make sense:' Hegseth banned cultural awareness events across the military like Black History Month, calling them 'divisive' -- except one. It's a white Catholic event that involves drinking green beer. www.expressnews.com/news/article...

You’ve probably heard the FBI is accusing Habitat for Humanity of fraud. It’s actually even worse. It’s not just the FBI, it’s the DOJ, Treasury & the EPA accusing EVERYONE who received Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund $ of fraud. #DemVoice1 Complete list of the accused…

I don’t really like to comment on political strategy but WTF are Schumer and Newsom, two of the most powerful leaders in the Democratic Party, doing right now?

Mitch McConnell would never Chuck Schumer... NEVER!!! WHERE IS YOUR RESOLVE?

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

My latest: on Chuck Schumer's power giveaway www.joyannreid.com/p/the-daily-...

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Hello. Good morning. Today we’re taking a hopeful lesson from Voyager. Keep going. Even when things get a bit scrambled and you’re pushing your limits. Those who care will be there with support. The program is a true example of government scientific excellence. science.nasa.gov/mission/voya...

Looks like they’ve got her back.

Dicks Sporting Goods is one of the good guys! 🏆

What irks me most is the impunity with which he disseminates false "medical" claims with absolutely no training or basis to do so. From his position of power and leadership it is causes real harm. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/h...

"Mr. Kennedy’s focus on unverified treatments has frustrated some doctors in Gaines County, who have been trying to explain to patients that there is no antiviral for measles and that they have little control over which patients suffer serious symptoms..." www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/h...

I want to thank the 34,000 Vermonters who joined Sen. Welch, Rep. Balint and me in our delegation town hall by phone & online. An extraordinary turnout for a state of 650,000 people. Needless to say, the people of VT are deeply concerned about what’s going on in DC right now.

Great meeting with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers! When our unions are strong, Minnesota is strong.

The state has been captured and is being stripped for parts, folks. www.cnn.com/2025/02/27/b...

Tesla lost enough value today that it could have fully funded USAID for a year.

Breaking it, then profiting off the *fix* The same way they profit off of education privatization… health care… etc… They count on you not realizing it. You are their piggy bank.

We’ve tried to shelter our minds but tonight we’re preparing for the genocide of Science. Entire NIH departments will have no leaders. World renowned Scientists kicked to the curb without cause, & grants will loose their lead investigators. Is this what they want? Chaos? Destruction?

We are shutting down our online store at midnight Eastern in solidarity with the 2/28 Economic Blackout. We’ll be back on 3/1. Also, sorry about the long shipping timeframes and the lack of shirts—we’re working hard to catch up! We use small U.S. suppliers for our products.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.
