Our latest: The Resistance is alive and well and angry. Please consider reading and sharing. No paywall.

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

If you've never been in the military, a JAG is a Judge Advocate General. They are the military lawyers. They make sure military law (the UCMJ, Uniform Code of Military Justice) is adhered to by all. You don't fire them unless you have something to hide or are planning illegality. Beware!

They want us to be afraid. They want us to hesitate. They want us to fear their next move. Fuck that shit. We are just getting started fighting.

⚡️US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine won't sign minerals deal, sources tell Reuters. The U.S. first raised the prospect of shutting off Starlink after Zelensky rejected the deal presented on Feb. 12. Starlink terminals are critical in securing Ukraine's battlefield communications.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

This is for @gtconway.bsky.social Five things I did last week. 1. Took too much ketamine 2. Danced onstage with a chainsaw 3. Ignored my new baby momma 4. Laughed at my own jokes. 5. Neglected all of my children except for the one I use as a human shield.

We have tried multiple times to post our own photos from today’s march. No luck. So thank you, @alternativemental.bsky.social for sharing your pics! #Birmingham #Alabama

200 million dollars of waste.

The new Alabama Democratic County Chairs Association hopes to better organize the party from the ground up.

Alabama Republican lawmakers think adding a $10 fee to every prescription filled is what they should be spending their time on. Aren’t prescription drug costs high enough?? www.alreporter.com/2025/02/18/r...

“It is the latest rural hospital in Alabama to either close completely or stop emergency, inpatient and/or maternity services. Since 2010, at least 14 rural hospitals have closed their doors and more than double that have stopped offering inpatient services.” www.alreporter.com/2025/02/18/a...?

Alabama jobs in the space industry are already getting cut, but Sen. Tuberville says he trusts Elon Musk (the founder/CEO of SpaceX) to take care of the Space Launch System - which has 14k employees in AL. Is Tuberville naive? Uninformed? Lying? Who knows. But we know that Tuberville needs to go.

This book by @rachelbitecofer.bsky.social is a must read for anyone who wants to fight hard and effectively.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

WATCH: “When will you stand up to them and say that is enough?” WISCONSIN Republicans Grothman & Fitzgerald run into tough town hall crowds also 👇🏽👀

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

Medicaid helps all of us, even if we aren't the recipients. Without it, our healthcare costs will rise. Providers will pass the losses along to patients who have health insurance. We will end up paying more! #DontCutMyMedicaid

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.

Trump promised to lower costs for Americans on DAY 1. He lied. Instead, he & Republicans want to rip healthcare away from millions of Americans so that they & their billionaire donors can line their pockets. Lives will be lost & the deaths will be on them. #DontCutMyMedicaid #DemCast #Proudblue

Jess was born with a genetic disorder Tuberous Sclerosis Complex. She requires multiple specialists, treatments and medications. We rely on Medicaid to literally keep her alive at times. It also provides pathways to help her live as independently as she can. #DontCutMyMedicaid

The GOP's destruction of our government has set the stage for DEMOCRATS' triumphant return in 2028! When we take back power, we'll rise from the ashes & build a NEW gov't that serves ALL Americans, not just the privileged few! We'll create agencies that uplift, empower & protect - not oppress.

Mientras las empresas de atención médica obtienen ganancias récord, el Congreso está apresurando cortes en Medicaid que harán la atención médica más cara para todos nosotros. Dígale al Congreso que no corte Medicaid. #DontCutMyMedicaid

Cutting $2.3 trillion from Medicaid will abandon seniors in long-term care & bankrupt families. Republicans don't care about the human cost — they only care about their billionaire donors' profits. #DontCutMyMedicaid

Donald Trump and House Republicans promised to lower costs for American families. They lied. Instead, they want to rip health care away from millions of Americans so that their billionaire donors can buy more yachts... #DontCutMyMedicaid social.demcast.com/s/1dGtcT0Z

Dr. King said of all the inequalities, inequality in health care is the most shocking and inhumane. The proposal by MAGA extremists to cut YOUR Medicaid to give the wealthiest Americans a tax cut is inhumane. Light up those phone lines! (202) 224-3121 #DontCutMyMedicaid

The Republican war on health care is alive and well. Republicans have one goal in mind: rip away coverage for millions in order to provide tax breaks for their billionaire friends. #DontCutMyMedicaid

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

Pancreatic cancer is a horrible, agonizing way to die. Yet, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine conspiracy theories, and Trump 2.0's blanket freeze of all government-sponsored research grants is jeopardizing this and other promising treatments, snatching away the last hope of survival for countless Americans.
