#Idaho Feb. 22: Operators from security firm LEAR Asset Management violently removed+reportedly zip-tied Teresa Borrenpohl at a town hall in a high school auditorium after she yelled that GOP state senator "Phil Hart stole timber from public land!" Videos of the privatized misogyny went viral [1/2]

The NOAA is Florida’s first line of defense against hurricanes, rising seas, and climate disasters. Cutting its funding and firing experts isn’t just reckless- it’s deadly. Without accurate storm tracking and warnings, lives will be lost. Safety depends on science, not politics. #Endautogenocide

Hundreds fired from the US climate agency under Trump as the economy declines. Silencing science while Americans struggle—yet another hallmark of his disastrous leadership.

Firing hundreds from the US climate agency means weaker disaster predictions, slower emergency responses, and less preparedness for extreme weather. Cutting science isn’t just ignorance—it will cost lives.

Anyone who tells you you're overreacting is underreacting.

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

The People's Union USA, a grassroots group, is calling on Americans to join a national boycott by not shopping for 24 hours on Friday.

NEW: Tomorrow, The Daily Beans podcast will run without any ads in solidarity with the 2/28 economic blackout. We'll be forgoing any advertising revenue for the day. You can listen and subscribe for free: link.chtbl.com/TheDailyBeans

Opt out tomorrow!

These stories amount to "the left was so annoying about pronouns or liberals made people feel so guilty about plastic straws they had no choice but to get on board with the second coming of the Third Reich and the destruction of the planet."

A trifecta.

WANT TO MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY? ✔️ Universal health care ✔️ Vaccines ✔️ Unions

Arizona AG Kris Mayes, New Mexico AG Raul Torrez, and Oregon AG Dan Rayfield will begin holding Community Impact Hearings — a national series of townhalls "to hear from the public about the impact of federal firings and DOGE funding freezes across the country." The first will be in Phoenix March 5.

Elon Musk’s DOGE is a chaotic fraud-fest—chainsawing jobs, not waste. Read how this trillionaire troll punches down on America while dodging real savings. Check out the wild details in my latest FREE Substack. brooklyndaddefiant.substack.com/p/exposing-e...

Farmers depend on climate data. They’re suing the USDA for deleting it. #Climate

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.” I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

Dear Congressional Dems: Since the GOP won’t hold town halls in their districts, DO IT FOR THEM!! Go to THEIR districts and hold town halls. The redder the better!! Put that shit on Tik Tok!! Go direct to RED American and EDUCATE those folks!!

“In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.” – Sun Tzu, The Art of War. This timeless principle emphasizes the resilience of resistance, finding strength even in the most challenging circumstances.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

Sadism isn't swagger. It isn't American. It isn't honorable. And contrary to what a whole lot of fatherless boys believe, it sure AF isn't manly. It's sadism.

A set of countries hates us; another is bewildered/dismayed/horrified; a third group is laughing at us; and the last group is working the angles to fleece us by flattering the weak-minded senile dope who occasionally shows up at the White House to sign stuff. NOBODY respects us.

I ♥️ you, @katiephang.bsky.social

OMG, Rachel on MSNBC calling out her bosses for firing the non-white primetime hosts Joy Reid and Alex Wagner

If you are looking to do your part in saving democracy, I highly recommend you buy and read ONE book: Howard Zinn’s a People’s History of America. It’s a MUST read. It’s not for the faint of heart, but we are at war for the soul of this nation & you have to be hardened to face the fight READ IT!

It's this but they're making a dystopia out of a perfectly fine society for no reason. Standing in a fully stocked grocery store going "I guess we have no choice but to kill and eat each other"

We do not always agree with Macron—that’s an understatement—but his exchange with Trump was highly amusing. Cutting him off mid-sentence to fact-check and redirect him was a compelling display of rhetorical control.

This truly breaks my 💔 Thank you @joyannreid.bsky.social, I’ll be watching for what’s next. 🙏🏽

A personal note about the @katiephangshow.bsky.social:

I'm watching the press conference between President Macron and trump, and the President of France speaks and understands TWO languages way better than trump does, struggling with just English. It's such a colossal embarrassment having trump representing the U.S.

Here to support my friend @joyannreid.bsky.social as she signs off, her last show! She's one of the best!!!

Big Balls”? I’m shocked.

RIP to one of the bona fide greats

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid. So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

Putin’s lifelong dream was to somehow separate the US from NATO. But how to break up a strong alliance that stood for 80 years and continued to expand? There really was only one way to do it, he figured it out a decade ago, and played the long game. Now his guy will do it.

The Revolution will be AI-icized

All the folks who exited NBC today. Seen together, hoo boy. Message received.

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

This is corporate media’s death knell. @joyannreid.bsky.social will bounce back better than ever. I bet that she already has a plan. Bending the knee is going kill big media, though and good riddance.

If you read one thing today… www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Wouldn't it just be a damn shame if EVERYONE emailed their five accomplishments, or 5 thoughts, or insults for Elon, to OPM as they requested of federal employees, thereby crashing the site? Sounds like good trouble to me. PASS IT ON.

I repeat, if you or a loved one was recently fired from the federal government during your probationary period, and the reason you were given was poor performance, please reach out to us at www.centerforemploymentjustice.com. We have a plan and may be able to help you.
