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.

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Fuck the rules, when the game is rigged, the only move is to change the game. Congress folks should be forcing themselves into federal buildings as they have the right to investigate! America has no need for weak minded orators who follow the rules. We need warriors

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Trump handed Hochul re-election on a silver platter and she slapped it away, never underestimate the craven incompetence of NY Dems

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

“Because the career incentives of elite opinion journalism are such that there will always be upwards mobility for someone like me who criticizes Democrats more than Trump”

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

When Kendrick said hey Drake and smiled at the camera I screamed laughed in a way I didn’t think possible. #superbowl

thank you to Kendrick and the Eagles for making terrible people angry tonight

What if history just didn't repeat itself, for once?

"Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given." -Timothy Snyder, On Tyranny

Marko Elez, an Elon Musk staffer with access to the Treasury Department’s sensitive payments system, has quit after racist and pro-eugenics posts surfaced, including one stating, ‘Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool.’

if the president can say “i don’t like the department of energy,” and within a week it’s closed, then the constitution means nothing, and the president’s entire claim to power is the loyalty of the military. either he is constrained by the constitution or he’s a dictator, there isn’t a middle ground

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IS A DEPARTMENT CREATED BY STATUTE; IT CANNOT BE ELIMINATED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER! EXECUTIVE ORDERS CANNOT REPEAL STATUTES! JUST LIKE DEPARTMENTS CANNOT BE CREATED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER! she shouts into the void

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

“We don’t have a 4th branch of government called Elon Musk.” Thank you @raskin.house.gov

Hey @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.org @schumer.senate.gov do something

Marco Rubio's new acting undersecretary of state for public diplomacy, ladies and gentlemen.

honestly think some of the hesitation here is that no one wants to sound like a crank. i was talking at an event last night and even i felt like a crank while i was speaking!

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

If this isn't enough to freak everybody the fuck out, I do not know what else will.

Where are all the scheming, plotting, political animal Democrats? THIS IS YOUR TIME. If the government can be broken during a Democratic presidency, you sure as hell can grind the levers to a halt too @democrats.org

So to be clear, Elon has given a Nazi salute, then said Germans shouldn’t feel guilt for their Nazi grandparents actions, said no race mixing for Italy, and that we have to “save” Japanese culture. This motherfucker trying to speed run reforming the Axis.

The story of this first week is corruption. Billionaires seated on the inaugural stage in front of the cabinet, crypto pump and dump, and the illegal firing of IGs. The media is acting like this is too chaotic and bewildering to interpret, but they are just afraid of sounding shrill. It’s corrupt.

Please pay attention to this case being argued in the 4th Circuit tomorrow. It could determine whether the GOP succeeds in stealing a NC Supreme Court seat by disenfranchising 60,000 voters.

How it started. How it’s going.

the world they want is one where you're either unemployed or work an almost no wage job, you have almost no political input or self determination and you’re happy about it because you can get a t-shirt off temu for a $1

This is essentially Trump putting out a hit on Fauci www.nytimes.com/2025/01/24/u...

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

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

The goal is to overwhelm us so we give up. Don't do that!

They will go after Wikipedia. They will go after libraries. They will go after school boards and public extracurricular activities that are anything but sports. They will go after archives. Because knowledge, education, culture, and progressives are all the enemy. Thinking is the enemy.

why aren't democrats in front of every single tv camera saying "trump hates police" www.axios.com/2025/01/22/p...

i said a few times here and there before the election that we’ll see what the mass deportation plan looks like when it’s ICE agents dragging grandmothers out of churches and, well, here we are

Starting to get it?

if there is one funny thing about yesterday’s blitzkrieg of executive orders is that it makes the “democratic opposition went too far last time” crowd look like total dipshits

This is the cowardice of The New York Times. Legacy media is failing.

Yes how could this have possibly happened?
