DOGE staffer Gavin Kliger has amplified Nick Fuentes & called for a pardon of Derek Chauvin. As of 2/7/25, Kliger was still employed by Databricks—backed by DOGE advisor Marc Andreessen’s VC firm, which has hired Daniel Penny (recently acquitted of manslaughter re: a Black man’s death) 2/7/25 1/

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

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...

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

gravedigger of american democracy. a more malign influence than john c calhoun.

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"

NEW: As Trump attempts to remake the federal government into an instrument of destruction, we must turn to state courts as a critical defense for our civil rights, health and safety, @keiththirion.bsky.social of @afj.org argues.

Getting blocked for telling the truth about the grift machine that is Meidas Touch is hilarious. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

We joined SJC & SAB Dems yesterday in trying to speak to representative John Rutherford. He was not amused. He's too 🐔to face his constituents. #MuskOrUS www.firstcoastnews.com/video/news/n...

“Now is the moment to recognize the scale of the seismic change unfolding, and to find new ways to live in the world that a very different kind of America is beginning to create” www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

I am going to give @thedailybeast.bsky.social a provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute Johnny Cash gave at San Quentin in 1969.

💯

I rarely reread what I've written because then I just think of all the ways I could have rewritten it, but I still very much appreciate @maddow.msnbc.com sharing @leahgreenberg.bsky.social's and my op-ed on air tonight! You can find the whole thing here: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

This is what our politicians should be doing. We should not have to rely on former NFL punter Chris Kluwe. #nfl #vikings

I wrote this in 2022, but it is obviously relevant today: “What’s All the Fuss About Ukraine?” jennycohn1.medium.com/whats-all-th...

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

We can all fight back. Call your representatives, regardless of party. The GOP & Dems *must* stand up and fight back!

Feeling overwhelmed by trying to keep track of everything? We’re here to help. Let’s talk about the three big fights that are happening right now and how you can take action against President Musk and Kennedy Center chairman Trump.

There is no way to deny what is happening. There Are No Faces open.substack.com/pub/slowcivi...

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

10% of NASA’s workforce has been laid off—guess that’ll be a boost for SpaceX.

I'm with you on this one.

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

Wonder if Elon could survive a week on the salary we make. While he burns through $8 million a day, the working class struggles—yet he paints us as the enemy.

THIS. It would matter. Truly. In the 1850s, when a congressman routinely threatened and insulted two key congressional reporters, they stopped reporting him. He apologized.

YES. The press should unite in boycotting his press conferences. As far as the press is concerned, if they don’t hang together, they may all hang separately.
