This sh*t is definitely not legal

RESULT: Democrats have flipped a state Senate seat in Pennsylvania. Dem James Malone won by 1%, in a red district Trump won by 15%. This is the second Dem legislative flip in 2025, after a red state Senate seat in Iowa earlier this year.

My latest: on Trump's reckless immigration villainy open.substack.com/pub/joyannre...

The playbook is there for anyone to study. Where this is headed is clear.

“There are obviously legalities involved. We have a Constitution,” Rubio said… “But it’s a very generous offer. No one’s ever made an offer like that — and to outsource, at a fraction of the cost, at least some of the most dangerous and violent criminals that we have in the United States.”

They engage in unconstitutional and illegal acts everyday. They ignore the constitutional authority of the Congress. They defy Court orders. They punish American citizens every day. We are in a Constitutional crises right now, be fr Senator.

“Promise to punish the Black middle class and we’ll give you the money.”

This right here.

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say

This is exactly where we are. “I don’t think we have a year to save American democracy…”

"Specifically because it features different skin tones."

Senator Schumer should be out here fighting alongside House Democrats, snatching wigs and doing anything he can to stand up for Americans. I show up for my people. It's what I came here to do.

Yes, I believe they’re trying to implore you to vote no on cloture. Senator, read the room. There can be no tacit approval for what Republicans have unleashed on this nation. We did not work to get you over the finish line to be abandoned when it mattered most.

“If we give an inch on the CR, they will take a mile on the debt ceiling… We won’t be extorted now. We won’t be extorted two weeks from now…” We need 2013 Chuck Schumer to show up today.

It iswith a heavy heart that I mourn the loss of my friend, Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva, a dedicated advocate for environmental resiliency. His contributions to the Democratic Caucus and positive impact will continue to inspire us. My thoughts are with his family, friends, loved ones, and his staff.

This is the real Trump Derangement Syndrome.

THIS. The government is already shut down. Musk is shutting down functions every day. Make them govern and stand up for the American people or let them answer to their angry constituents.

Elon Musk is having a 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 bad month. I’m starting the clock on his time in government. Full video: www.instagram.com/reel/DHCT0-J...

No further debate—Trump’s DEI policy is clearly racist. The Pentagon is flagging for removal, historic photos of Black & brown heroes who served, claiming they “promote DEI.” The military was segregated until 1948. Black people served while facing racism. Where was the DEI? Erasure is the point.

Whomever is advising the Democrats right now is criminally bad at their job. The notion that they can meme their way out of fascism is truly incredible.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury had her “This is not normal” sign ripped from her hands by a Republican member and thrown in the air. She said she wasn’t gonna make a big deal out of it but made clear that she will throw hands if necessary. Albuquerque stand up! #StateOfThePeople

EVERY. LAST. ONE.

Rep. Al Green standin on business.

The State of The People 24-Hour Marathon Livestream is now in full effect! You can watch it in various places including the stateofthepeople.media website and my YouTube channel. I'll be dropping in the YT chat throughout the day! #StateOfThePeople www.youtube.com/live/Gz-Nufa...

Okay, let’s do this. West Coast, help a brother out. https://stateofthepeople.media

We are on the same page. He wants “great tv”. He wants to humiliate you and your constituents. He want attention. Don’t give it to him.

Breaking! If Trump won't defend a strong Title IX rule, @nwlc.org will. More on our effort to intervene and defend the Title IX rule on behalf of the Victim Rights Law Center and a student. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...

No congressional Democrat should be attending the SOTU. Not one. And certainly not any member of the CBC. Your constituents are watching and they are not amused.

"Gutting this department threatens to roll us back towards the worst days of school segregation. I believe this because, as historians will tell you, the Department of Education was created to address racial inequity." Read more in the op-ed by Advancement Project’s @jbrownedianis.bsky.social:

UNDERSTAND THE ASSIGNMENT: tomorrow, February 28th, is the Economic Blackout. I ain’t buying shit. Plan ahead, but if you must buy essentials, use cash and support local businesses only. No corporate chains!

I owe the television part of my career to @joyannreid.bsky.social, as do so many other Black voices y'all never would have heard of if not for her. And *that's* why she's gone. They can treat black folks as interchangeable, but everybody Black knows that Joy was indispensable.

Now this, I can co-sign.

Have they locked JD Vance in a basement?

Yes, we let a rich idiot nobody elected destroy the entire government, but it was that or make rich people pay taxes so that poor people could go to the doctor

🎶We’re in the middle of a hostile government takeoverrr🎶

I am SO GLAD Donald Trump’s funky ass was there to witness the BLACKEST Super Bowl! Ain't no Executive Order or AI that can defeat Jalen Hurts or Kendrick Lamar. It's giving Black Excellence! It's giving meritocracy! It's giving Black History Month 💪🏾✊🏾 #reeciecolbertshow youtube.com/shorts/b29mZ...

An American flag built on the backs of Black people... Black music protesting white political terror in registers they never hear; reminiscent of ancestral spirituals embedded with instructions for runaways All this in New Orleans... What a moment

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.

“Officials at the Homeland Security Department — which oversees the Coast Guard — cited border security issues and an ‘excessive focus’ on diversity, equity and inclusion among the reasons for her dismissal.” tldr; she was fired for commanding while female

“Thune and Johnson, acting with the support of Republicans in both chambers, have, in effect, renounced their power over the purse... Their Congress is supine, submissive and subordinate, less the equal of the president than a tool of the executive branch — a subject of his will.”

1. Yesterday, the Trump admin released a contract laying out more details of the "deferred resignation" offer they are using to encourage federal employees to resign. The deal is MUCH WORSE than it seemed Anyone who signs this contract agrees to resign and gets NOTHING guaranteed in return

Anyone else notice that official .gov websites now have a pop-up displaying the Civil War era flag…only instead of the 34, 35, or 36 star flag flown by the Union, this variation o my has nine (9) stars… I wonder why??? 🤔🤔🤔

President Fredo wants you to know “I'm smart! Not like everybody says! Like, dumb! I'm smart... and I want respect!”

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth

“Yes, no. He’s actually increasing staffing by layoff the staff he doesn’t like. So there’ll be more staff once those people are gone. Get it?”

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command"
