I think we should all do our patriotic duty and tell them what we’ve been up to for the past week.

Democrats should go to all these ruby red and vulnerable GOP districts where voters are upset at Trump and Musk and court them. Full court press.

“Like how can you be a remotely competent historian without insisting upon a Great Man interpretation that actual historians rejected ages ago?”

Why aren’t you here? Want to show the administration how you feel? Show up. Now. Lincoln Memorial. Please.

I don't want Dems to legislate, I want them to fucking fight!

Hey @halbfinger.bsky.social, could you or someone else at the Times explain how firing a qualified senior general “root[s] out diversity initiatives?” Which initiative specifically did this “root out?”

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.

JEFFRIES: “we have no leverage” SCHUMER: *pulls out a lime and limply waves it around* BERNIE:

It occurred to me that firing thousands of highly skilled, highly knowledgeable people, some of whom had access to highly secret information, and now have grievances and an urgent need for money, might be considered a security risk. Like, a big one.

if you look at a bad thing that happened and assume, evidence-free, that it's because a Black person got a job they shouldn't have, you're not a "DEI skeptic," you're a dumb gutter racist

🧵 I went to work in Congress with a Member who was raised in South Africa and part of the anti-apartheid movement. She taught me how to optimize the power of the opposition in the House. Like the trimtab on the rudder, members can steer the ship. Here are the six R's of minority power.

According to Coinbase's just-filed 8-K (linked), the SEC has agreed to terminate with prejudice its lawsuit against Coinbase *without* payment of any monetary penalty. The 8-K does not state whether Coinbase has agreed to change any practices. In all events, a huge win for the Crypto industry.

FIRED FEDERAL WORKER TO NBC: “I was a Trump supporter. He’s coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no apparent reason.”

Big Balls’s past gets more scrutiny — including the internship where he was terminated. “You’re willing to risk our entire network to a 17-year-old?” one frustrated executive asked the company’s CEO in 2022. “Are you for real right now?” @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

The GOP go-to is "blame immigrants" -- and it's not working this time

Interesting how papers in other countries aren't afraid to call this what it is. elpais.com/mexico/2025-...

I'm going to try to do more writing about how universities and researchers are being affected by recent policy changes from the Trump Administration. If you are an academic or researcher willing to share your experience, you can do so here: forms.gle/oyhXivWMJeno... Please share/repost.

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

The worst part of this North Korean style sycophancy is that we all know Lutnick doesn’t believe a word of this and Trump knows Lutnick doesn’t believe a word of this.

Elon Musk just moved ANOTHER $1 MILLION into Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race. That brings Musk’s spending on behalf of a right-wing takeover of the court to 2.5 MILLION over one week. This is a major intervention in state politics—and the fight for control of the judiciary—by the world’s richest man.

There is a wave of anger building across the entire country. People are already becoming fed up with Trump and Musk. These algorithms can try to hide it all they want, but they won’t be able to avoid reality for long.

Quite the gall to stand there and compare people sitting down at a town hall meeting to January 6th insurrectionists, too.

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

This is how the Tea Party started, after all. They just showed up and talked angry shit for a summer & then they got a lot of money from conservative donors, ran candidates for the next Congress and voila, the groundwork laid for takeover of their party. It is far from impossible to do. Hint. Hint.

U.S. Rep. Rich McCormick was peppered with boos and catcalls throughout a town hall meeting in Roswell late Thursday, as hundreds of critics jeered the Republican for backing President Donald Trump’s agenda during his first month in office. #gapol ajc.com/politics/mcc...

"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."

The Daily Beast: What is this Elon Salute what can it mean French Nazis: too Nazi for us

Of course. But being the party standing up for those fired will mean a lot to those fired and their families. It will also show the country that they are trying to bring order to chaos. And if they can get any Republican support at all, that's huge leverage for March 14
