Chris Murphy Emerges as a Clear Voice for Democrats Countering Trump. “Right now, there is a distinct possibility that we do not have a free and fair election in 2028, and all of our work is to make sure that doesn’t happen,” he said. Finally, someone steps up. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/u...

LET’S GO!!!!!!

If you're wondering why Trump, Musk, and Vance are attacking the judiciary👇

I keep saying this.... quit being distracted by the presidential seat. That is the executive branch. Google the definition of that. It's your legislative branch (including your local legislation) that is causing this grief.

Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

This comes via @jeannekc.bsky.social and all I can say is more of this please.

JUST IN: Judge MEHTA has barred Stewart Rhodes and other Oath Keepers whose sentences were *commuted* from going into Washinton or the U.S. Capitol without permission from the court.

This is how you do it...

“Voters have always rejected voucher initiatives,” Welner tells The Progressive. “And research repeatedly shows that vouchers are academically harmful.” progressive.org/public-schoo...

Talk to your kids—especially your teen and preteen sons. The Oath Keepers are back with new leadership—leaked documents reveal they’re targeting youth to rebuild their image, with a focus on the Boy Scouts.

"Cynicism is the cheap seats. It’s the fast food of intellectual positions. Anyone can point at something and say it’s broken, corrupt, or destined to fail. The real challenge? Building something better." #CripCoop

Le Guin was asked what gave her hope for the future. She answered, “The age, and the vastness, and the vast complexity of the earth and all its creatures. No matter how we try to cut it down to our size, we’ll fail; and in our failure lies our hope.” lithub.com/the-way-of-w...

Huge gratitude for our neighbors, Mexico and Canada have sent fire fighters and army to help us.

Firefighters from Mexico just arrived at LAX. They'll be joining 14,000+ personnel already battling the #PalisadesFire. California is immensely grateful to our neighbors' support in the fight against the wildfires in Los Angeles.

California’s on fire, and while the GOP is busy blaming DEI and concocting conspiracies, Canada and Mexico are busy saving lives.

NEW: Eleventh Circuit court of appeals DENIES Nauta and De Oliveira's emergency motion to block special counsel report. The court leaves in place Judge Cannon's order enjoining release of the report, which would remain in effect for 3 more days.

BREAKING NEWS In a 5-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has DENIED Donald Trump’s request to stop his New York criminal case sentencing this Friday. Thomas, Gorsuch, Alito, and Kavanaugh would have stayed Trump’s sentencing.

Happy 12th birthday to the defining visual artwork of this era.

How it started. How it’s going

Goddamn man he absolutely nailed it. It is entirely possible.

This Speaker vote should remind all of us that literally nothing Republicans try to do will be easy, or a foregone conclusion. And often, they are going to have to come to Democrats to enact anything at all. We have lost power but we are not powerless.

Someone shared this with me, and I think it's beautiful. That's what I wish for everyone I love and appreciate in this New Year 2025, that your life is filled with an abundance of real luxuries. ❤️

A lot of memes are based on illustrations and comics that an artist made, but people remove all mention of the artist to make it seem as if the image sprang out of the ether, that it belongs to everyone. Especially in this day and age, it's important to assert when art is made by human hands.

My hope for 2025 is, well, this

Still the best two sentences on climate action.

How dumb is Trump 2.0's education policy going to be? Look to states like Oklahoma, where trial runs are already proving unpopular, even with Republican voters. New from me in MomLeft **which will have one more post, then hiatus till Jan!**: www.momleft.com/p/get-stupid

Floored to receive this beautiful comment from Amy Carter, daughter of President Jimmy Carter. She proudly elevates her father's legacy in promoting justice for Palestine & calls upon everyone to keep that legacy alive. Here's my article she is responding to: www.qasimrashid.com/p/president-...

Preet Bharara, you rascal!

William Webster, the only person to lead both the FBI and CIA, is raising objections over whether Kash Patel & Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's picks to be directors of the FBI and national intelligence, are qualified to serve in the Cabinet. He says neither nominee meets the demands of top intelligence jobs.

Just read the response from Costco to shareholders requesting it back down from DEI. It was glorious. It begins "Our Board has considered this proposal and believes … an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." and gets better. A happy investor #diversityandinclusion

legitimately worried for his safety
