Nazism worked in a country of 80 million people. It won’t work in a country of 335 million. We were shocked in 2016. In 2025. We are pissed.

cc: @Gavin Newsome It’s time to build a CDC & NIH in California with the folks who were fired from the feds. In fact, I think each blue state governor needs to scoop up these scientists, healthcare workers and laboratory workers asap. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

Government funding runs out on March 14. Republicans can’t pass a bill alone, so Democrats have real leverage here. We’re calling on Democrats to commit to withholding their votes and insist on an end to the Trump-Musk coup rampaging across the government.

NOW: We’re rallying at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with Sen. @warren.senate.gov, Rep. Waters, @moveon.org, @boldprogressives.org, and many more. The CFPB protects consumers from predatory practices, and we must protect the CFPB from President Musk’s attempts to kill it.

It’s surprising how few people know that some of the first groups targeted by the Nazis were gay & transgender people. The pink triangle, now a symbol of LGBTQ+ resilience, was originally used to mark them in concentration camps. History matters—let’s not forget.

Two plane crashes in two days—maybe, just maybe, expertise, rigorous safety standards, and diverse perspectives in engineering and operations matter. DEI isn’t the problem; cutting corners and ignoring talent are. It must be DEI that keeps the airplanes in the air?

Can we get a PBS collab where beloved kids’ show hosts gently break bad news to adults for the next four years? Just soft voices, simple words, and maybe a puppet to explain why everything is on fire—but in a way that won’t ruin our day before coffee. We deserve this.

They wanted you to believe they had an airtight plan. Resistance was futile. They were ready. The first week shows they’re same idiots with the more hubris and incompetence. Stop being afraid and get louder. Don’t believe their bullshit. We aren’t afraid of Ketamine Leon or Temu Nosferatu.

They’re testing. It wasn’t a “glitch” that turned off Medicaid portals. They’re seeing which things they can delete without a fight. Vets benefits? Abuse shelters? Aid to children? Cancer research? They don’t care who gets hurt. Just what they can get away with. Keep. Fighting. Back.

GOOD NEWS: A federal court temporarily halted President Trump's order to freeze all federal funding, including grants for public health, education, and safety. Trump's order would have devastating consequences for communities in every corner of the nation. Our leaders must block it for good.

PROP - PR Over Policy. Don't confuse them. He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him. Dems need to be strategic.

SPEAKING OF GARDENS yall better have library cards. Some (most!!) public library systems have seed libraries and libraries of things where you can borrow things you may not need to own. Also libraries are revolutionary and librarians have always been on the front lines
