But of course!

@sarajacobs.house.gov big opportunity. Would lift the burden of every Dem being asked to be the voice. “Why aren’t you out there….?” One collective voice of fact-based opposition, a reliable source for media, while y’all focus on your “day job”. Please consider & share.

Regardless of how much coverage it gets, Trump aiming to install a military command that places loyalty to him above loyalty to the constitution needs to be a much bigger story.

Things pediatricians are scared of: Grapes Hot dogs Lawn mowers Unmounted TVs Babies on laps in cars Riders without helmets Ungated pools Crib bumpers Trampolines Hot tubs Guns Things pediatricians are not scared of: Any/all the vaccines

Here’s what I need from Democrats; get in the fucking way. Stand in front of those who will hurt others. We can say “constitutional crisis” all day long, but you have to get in front of them. Refuse to budge. Don’t back down.

Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. (ASMR). A feeling of euphoria caused by certain sounds. My God. www.cnbc.com/2025/02/18/w...

3 hours to leave her house. This is how they treat a 4-star Admiral and Commandant of the Coast Guard. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

This was a very grounding read

An incomplete list of the groups Trump & Vance have pissed off in less than 2 weeks: Government workers Immigrants People who care about democracy Canada Mexico U.S. consumers The conservative U.S. Catholic bishops Bishops in other churches Anyone committed to diversity, equity, & inclusion

This is the guy half the country wanted in charge? The guy who gutted aviation safety and fired the head of the FAA and created chaos in the federal workforce? Note no pledge to investigate and no thought given to the victims.

Can someone show this to Speaker Jeffries?? x.com/MentallyDivi...

Andy where are you??? I am sure ACA repeal attempts are on the horizon.

Just had to go see if this account had made the switch.

very excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised addict the leader of the department of defense and subordinate to a madman

First documented raid where ICE detained everyone, including citizens (and a veteran). The mayor is understandably outraged. It begins. www.newarknj.gov/news/mayor-r...

I just contacted my senators and urged them to oppose Pete Hegseth's nomination to lead the Defense Department. Trump's pick would undermine our national security. app.sosha.ai/s/hG8ALzUa

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Trump just issued a new executive order declaring DEI illegal, revoking the decades-old executive order establishing affirmative action for federal contracting, and instructing agencies to encourage private sector companies to "end illegal discrimination and preferences, including DEI."

If Republican senators confirm Hegseth they own him. And his history suggests that will be a costly purchase indeed.

If you watch only one short video today, make it this one. Remarkable bravery, and the looks on the various faces could be material for a dissertation on gender, the family, and authoritarianism. youtu.be/gVInX42IQD8?...

For those saying it wasn't a Nazi salute. Keep posting it. Keep sharing it.

All of this.

One of the first crises that the Trump administration may face is an insurance meltdown caused by climate inaction.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million. That is a lie. The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

Don't wait until you are in imminent danger to create resource and pod maps. Everyone should create them and they need to be UPDATED at least every 6 months. Info about podmapping: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Not every day you get a (very loud) alert telling you your state is closed.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg is not a justice without Carter nominating her to a lower court.

Hmm--I wonder who could possibly be to blame for this????

BREAKING: The Trump Administration is preparing to allow ICE to detain undocumented migrants at schools, hospitals, places of worship, weddings, and funerals. This is insane. meidasnews.com/news/trump-a...

Access to hospital-based obstetric care has declined in the US, with rural hospitals experiencing a more significant increase in the percentage without obstetric services. https://ja.ma/4f4JVT4

You don’t get to claim you are fighting for democracy only when you think your side will win. It is a fight precisely because the other side may prevail. It is exactly in those times that we need your voice, your energy and your action. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/now-...
