Ask yourself: Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this? Why would any decent human being do this?

*Jon Ossoff* just announced he's voting no. You think that happened out of nowhere? CALL YOUR SENATORS. 👇

@schumer.senate.gov PLEASE reconsider. I understand the issues but you can message your vote. You are giving Trump and Musk a blank check. You are making a terrible mistake

@schatz.bsky.social PLEASE vote no on cloture. You are a good man and this would be a horrible mistake

Columbia University loses its federal funding while Elon Musk, who actually is antisemitic, does not

Good Lord. Pinning him down is journalism's job. This is journalistic surrender. #BrokenTimes ‘You Can’t Pin Him Down’: Trump’s Contradictions Are His Ultimate Cover www.nytimes.com/2025/03/08/u...

Shadow Surgeon General @vinguptamd.bsky.social giving you the advice you need

EXACTLY

🚨 HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of Jews — including rabbis, community leaders, and former ADL staffers — are gathered outside of the ADL conference in Midtown Manhattan to say that we reject the ADL’s support for Trump & Musk’s agenda. #RejectADL

Thank you for saying what I’ve been thinking. I worked for him, believed in him and I was lied too. What a disappointment substack.com/@johnnypalma...

Thrilled to have @dougjones.bsky.social on Bluesky! Please follow! Senator Jones speaks truth to power, and has real ideas on what the country’s been screaming for - MEET PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE! 👏🏽 Citizens and volunteers should never be working harder than our electeds. Especially now. +…

Every day they don't do this is a day of political malpractice

INEXCUSABLE!

You forgot Wilt. No list is valid without him.

Any @washingtonpost.com columnist who remains there must follow the lead of @danamilbank.bsky.social. President Musk and his sidekick are the greatest threat to personal liberty and free trade and pointing that out on a daily basis should be exactly what Bezos wants.

The Brooklyn Public Library has announced that any teenager in America is now eligible for a Brooklyn Public Library card.
Teens can sign out ebooks + audiobooks 
The move is designed to combat censorship, with some titles listed as "always available." www.bklynlibrary.org/media/press/...

The highest-rated star on MSNBC is not pleased with the network’s recent programming moves.

The entire business model of American R1 universities is not viable without restoration of federal funding, & every individual institution pretending it can solve this problem alone is also not viable. University presidents need to be speaking out, collectively & loudly about this, in DC, right now.

1. The Philadelphia Inquirer has 2 journalists - our chief political writer and foreign affairs columnist - in Germany for its critical election. A friend yesterday called us "a regional newspaper" but I'd say we're a historic legacy news org (with 23 Pulitzers)... www.inquirer.com/politics/ger...

Thank you for this. I hope it inspires others to speak out

Dem base: "Oh my god, Trump is acting like a king! Please raise the alarm!" Democrats: "Too complicated. No way to explain this to normie voters." Dem base: "OH MY GOD HE LITERALLY JUST CALLED HIMSELF A KING" Democrats: "A distraction. We should talk about the complicated policy stuff."

open.substack.com/pub/anandwri... Brilliant piece by @anandwrites.bsky.social It takes a country of cowards to allow a fascist to succeed

@marcelias.bsky.social on point as usual. It the cowards in the republican party (which is all of them) who are causing the hell raining down on this country with their complicity!

Penn has always wanted to be the nation's leading university and it finally is -- in chickenshit cowardice I guess when your most famous alums are Donald Trump and Elon Musk you have a legacy to live down to www.inquirer.com/education/un...

The Empire State Building in New York City has been lit up with Philadelphia Eagles colors after the Super Bowl

A great website tracking all the companies that have bent the knee to Trump and eliminated their DEI programs, and all the companies that have stood strong. www.dei.watch

As I said before, it’s good versus evil. Go Birds 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅

Just another reason to love the Eagles. Go Birds🦅🦅

the onion never misses

Fetterman finds new ways to distance himself from the Democratic mainstream - MSNBC As a Pennsylvanian who strongly supported @fetterman.senate.gov, I will never vote for him again and hopefully work for a strong primary opponent

Route 4 in Paramus, NJ, yesterday. Posted on Facebook by John Weir @jweirdo.bsky.social.

Senate Democrats are considering voting NO or delaying every Trump nominee as retaliation for his overreach on ending USAID. Smash the RT if you SUPPORT this plan. ZERO votes from Democrats!!

Dems continually miss the moment. They are being handed an opportunity and don’t know what to do with it. I give up😩

I really can’t wrap my head around congressional Democrats’ response to the past 12 days of crises. It reeks of pathetic capitulation. Trump is asserting dictatorial powers of absolute control over the entire government and the reaction is “we don’t swing at every pitch”? An appalling abdication.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

@jimacosta.bsky.social confirms he will exit CNN after nearly two decades with the network, as we first reported last night in @status.news: "It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant," Acosta said.

Democrats need to show up all the time, in all the places and platforms where voters spend their time. Take Black media, for example: too often, Democrats show up with a blitz of ads two weeks before election day. That’s not it. 🧵
