Here's some planned boycotts. Please repost. I know some people only have access to certain stores. Please participate in the one day boycott on February 28.

I’d like to start amplifying the work of political cartoonists. Steve Brodner’s work is always pointedly accurate. open.substack.com/pub/stevebro...

Prominent DOGE Staffer Is Grandson Of Turncoat KGB Spy Edward “Big Balls” Coristine happens to be the descendant of Valery Martynov, a KGB agent who spied for the US. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I've often insisted that we need to keep our eyes on Trump's actions more than his words (because so many of the words are bluster & lies). Now we have a genuinely dangerous action: a purge at the Pentagon, notably a purge of the top figures who can decide if Trump's commands are unconstitutional.

The sweeping and extraordinary intervention is expected to shock the Pentagon and upend the tradition of the joint chiefs chair serving a new administration. #news #theage #world #north #america

I'm just saying...

What a crock. www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

They both scare the SHIT out of MAGA and live rent free in the heads of GOP leadership - EXACTLY why they should be in charge of getting more Dems elected.

I emailed the HB City Council expressing dismay at their arrest of Chris Kluwe. I received a one sentence question from Mayor Pro Tempore, Casey McKeon, asking if I supported someone rushing the city council dais. Nothing I saw supports his narrative. I support free speech & non-violent protest.

Resistance comes in many forms. Slow it down. Stand it the way. Tie whatever knots you can.

Sean O’Brien supports the nomination of Laura Chavez-DeRemer as Labor Secretary and is against Pro Act which protects workers’ rights to organize and bargain. He’s a scab. Anti-labor traitor.

Sean O’Brien is a scab. He sold out his union, bargaining, fair wages, etc. Sean O’Brien is is a tRump sycophant!

Sean O’ Brien, General President of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, is no friend of labor, unions or bargaining as he sells out to tRump’s nomination, Lori Chavez De-Remer for Secretary of Labor. #Scab x.com/teamstersob/...

Courage. We need everyone to show up and speak out.

Thinking of a master plan…

The two biggest killers of children 1-18yo in the US - automobiles and firearms - kill more kids than all forms of chronic disease *combined*. Obviously, not a priority for MAHA.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections. Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

Whew

If the President doesn’t want the job he has, that’s fine (and frankly better for us), but he just doesn’t get to outsource it to a random billionaire from South Africa.

Not for nothing but everyone realizes that these teenagers and 20 somethings who have complete access to the Treasury payment source code are now #1 espionage recruitment targets for Russia and China, right?

🔥🔥🔥🔥 When RFK Jr started running for president, he sent out a tweet asking for Security because of his family and he put in the first sentence 1488. The 14 Words about preserving the white race, and Heil Hitler. I asked the Nazis at Disney World last year if they heard him “he’s one of us”

Senator Bill Cassidy, a doctor and a passionate advocate for vaccination, seemed ready to vote against confirming RFK Jr., Nicholas Florko writes. Then he backed down:

This vote alone is a dangerous endorsement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s health misinformation and lies. How many lives are Republicans willing to risk for this nominee? The Senate must not confirm RFK Jr. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

As a science advocate, something I hear a lot is that people think government would be better if there were more scientists and physicians elected to Congress. Senator Bill Cassidy's cowardice in voting for RFK Jr, show us that expertise is useless if you have no morals.

BREAKING NEWS: In a massive lawsuit, the AFL-CIO has SUED the Treasury Department: “for their unlawful…disclosure of personal and financial information…to Elon Musk and other members of the so-called ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ (DOGE).”
