Take heart: democracy is rising. This week: a judge halted anti-DEI attacks, a court kept DOGE out of the Treasury, and SCOTUS backed a rightful reinstatement. Democracy is lighting the path for fairness. We can beat fascism! @contrariannews.org tinyurl.com/Democracy-tr...

As I go through a very difficult time in my life I often feel like I don’t have the strength to go on. This quote struck a chord and gave me the motivation I needed tonight. I hope it will give you some hope as well. Good Night and peace ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🫶🏽

This is the House Republican budget plan that Donald Trump endorsed. Trickle up economics.

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

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 what a leader looks like 🔥🔥 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇸🇺🇦 Geroyam Slava 🇺🇦 #SheShed

You don't fire Judge Advocates General unless you plan on issuing unlawful orders. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-f...

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

Remember: all that rotting food & medicine were prepared by American workers, farmers & scientists. We're not only depriving starving, vulnerable, ill people with the help they so desperately need -- we're screwing American workers, farmers & scientists whose livelihoods depend on this work.

Anyone know where we can find three Republicans in the House who are brave enough to join with Democrats to stand up to this corrupt government?

I snapped this on 3/27/19. Seven days later, the Trump administration canceled my remote work and moved my job 2,300 miles away and I had to move or be fired. Three months later, they investigated my podcast. The rest, as they say, is history.

He nails it.

If I had to respond to an email as a federal employee asking me what I did at work last week, I'd make sure to list all the duties I had to absorb because of mass illegal firings, followed by a description of what the EPA's Walter Peck did in Ghostbusters.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement,” he said, drawing applause. “You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is.” Chris Kluwe

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

OREGON: “The house & senate are totally abdicating their responsibilities.” @RepBentz (R) is the latest Republican to get confronted by constituents at a town hall. (Tennessee folks— town halls are these things where senators/reps show up and you can talk to them in person)

"The opposition is the majority."

No conflict of interest to see here folks

As the father of a boy who struggles with depression & a former Boy Scout leader, I can speak with some authority on this… Taking kids off their meds & sending them to camps is the worst idea anyone in the Felon47 administration has come up with. FAFO. I’m not fixing it this time. #DemVoice1

House Republicans who were willing to hold town halls back home this week got an earful. At events from Georgia and Wisconsin to Oklahoma and Oregon, many of them faced hostile crowds furious about the sweeping budget cuts & mass firings of federal workers that Trump and Musk’s DOGE is carrying out.

The TN Ed Report on Trump’s ed agenda: “While putting the Smackdown on the Dept of Education and advancing a school privatization scheme are both devastating, Trump is not content to stop there… Tennessee is no stranger to this march toward theocracy.” open.substack.com/pub/theeduca...

Musk will now sue Bannon for not paying to use the Sieg Heil feature on Twitter

The National Institutes of Health had to stop considering new grant applications, delaying funding for research into diseases ranging from heart disease and cancer to Alzheimer's and allergies.

Trump lies his ass off at CPAC: "77 million [votes] and it's actually much more than that, because despite that, they cheated like hell. It was just too big to rig."

4 min video. Yes, we're already in a coup, but there's some good news. We are the heroes - people who keep doing the right thing. If enough people keep doing the right thing, we will change the world. Step up, and speak up, even if you feel the walls are closing in. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOaU...

Uummm tf

Call me crazy but maybe two men who fathered 17 children with 6 different women between them shouldn’t be lecturing us about family values!

Hisham al-Sayed & his family waited over TEN YEARS for this hug. Hamas kidnapped & tortured an innocent, mentally disabled Arab man for over a decade just because he is Israeli. Hamas=MONSTERS credit to @henmazzig.bsky.social

Today we are hitting the streets in Fort Lauderdale to let our voices be heard 💪🏽🔥💙

this is from a new report on a “third way” on DEI and it is unbelievably naive, which in my view is emblematic of the author, rich kahlenberg, whose willingness to extend good faith to obvious bad faith actors borders on gullibility www.progressivepolicy.org/a-way-out-of...
