Woohoo!! 🔥🔥 Go Bernie! @sanders.senate.gov

The federal agency responsible for traffic safety, which has been investigating self-driving technology in Tesla vehicles, will fire a “modest” number of employees, an agency spokesman said Friday.

At the Long Beach Tesla Takedown, lots of folks out here (I’d estimate probably 40-50 so far) and lots of support from cars driving by. Come out and join!

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

But why? It’s a mystery!

Is anyone else experiencing a need to stockpile food? I swear, my freezer has never been so full, my pantry stuffed with herbs, dried beans, onion and potatoes.

In the week since Trump's hostile takeover of The Kennedy Center, ticket sales dropped by roughly 50 percent compared to the previous week, a "stunning aberration," according to staff members, per WAPO.

I gifted this so you can read it. DOGE is an absolute joke! If these kinds of mistakes were made in corporate America, or even by real government employees, they would all be fired. The incompetence is simply spectacular! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

I spent some time this morning writing down what I think Trump is up to with the USPS. open.substack.com/pub/theweekl...

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Spotted in Wisconsin. $10.49 for eggs. Prices keep going up and Donald Trump isn’t doing a damn thing about it!

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

I believe @berniesanders4.bsky.social has the right tact, here. He's making this about what it really actually is: the 1% against the rest of us. They've declared war on us. Dems would be wise to go all in on this strategy and messaging. nebraskaexaminer.com/2025/02/22/o...

This will go well.

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

Call your reps, senators, governors, mayors EVERY DAY. Twice a day. Write letters, send emails, post comments, attend meetings, write letters to editors. Fascists are cowards - they will back down if pressured hard enough. #Resist #Protest #WeFightWeWin

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.” 🔥

Funny how all the fired people seem to be connected to ongoing investigations into Musk or Trump 'enterprises' and activities. Once the people are re-hired, will they be more compliant with Musk requests for fear of being fired again? #Resist #Protest #WeFightWeWin

BREAKING 🚨 🚨 🚨 The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is asking some of its recently fired scientists if they will come back to their jobs, including some employees reviewing Elon Musk's brain implant company, Neuralink. www.aol.com/exclusive-us...

@brianstelter.bsky.social @cnn.com

For the first weeks, Americans seemed frozen, expecting institutions to do something. Americans were used to “checks and balances” and “guardrails” working. That didn’t happen. People realized that they had to take matters into their own hands… open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Friends, family in #Texas #NewMexico -- give 'em a call.

It feels like people are waking up

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

Does the height mentioned in this excellent update from @macfarlanenews.bsky.social #CBSNews from January 2, 2025 include the shoes? Nikes have really thick soles. Perhaps add 2 - 3 inches to a person's height. www.cbsnews.com/video/author...

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Amen to that.
