Clark: We elected this so-called strongman who rolls over on his back for Putin and abandons our democratic ally in Ukraine. And we’re sending the vice president and his wife to a contained base in Greenland because the people of Greenland don’t want them outside of it. What are we doing?

NBC News: The Espionage Act contains a provision making it crime to disclose national defense secrets "through gross negligence."   The law does not require info be classified, because it was written before the classification system existed. The law refers simply to "national defense information."

Anyone who thinks we can resolved this by organizing for the midterms is wrong. All the elections, Court cases, and Congressional hearings will come to nothing. There's only one solution here and that's for us to become ungovernable

People keep talking about the security implications of the Hegseth leak. The other issue is they are likely illegally using Signal to bypass mandatory government record keeping. That should be equally as terrifying.

Talk of firing or resigning is one thing. But if they were regular employees, they would face investigation & prosecution. No reason their principals, people who hold security clearances, shouldn’t. Or is the legacy of the “but her emails” guy going to be nat’l security no longer matters?

If these men had any sense of honor, they would already have resigned. The fact that they are all still in their jobs is just as damning as their terrifying and lawless incompetence.

I am truly terrified for Hamdan. If you don’t know who Hamdan Ballal is, he is the director of No Other Land and he and Yuval both won the Oscar for Best Documentary this year

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred. immigrantjustice.org/sites/defaul...

Violation of court order to deport a life-saving doctor. I think ICE has been assigned quotas.

Beautiful segment.

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

The Department of Veterans Affairs is planning to fire more than 80,000 employees.

Trump needs to be removed. This insanity is unsustainable

One of our best security experts sums it up:

Crockett: We had an opportunity to have a woman lead this country and I promise you, she would have led us to the promised land. But instead we got somebody that seems like he wants to take to us hell

Rubio is privately frustrated that Trump has effectively sidelined him. According to four prominent Republicans, Rubio has told people he’s upset by his lack of foreign policy influence. One said they felt Rubio is often the last to know when foreign policy decisions are made in the White House.

Rachel Maddow drew a direct comparison between a 1940s Minnesota senator who was secretly on Adolf Hitler's payroll and pushing pro-Nazi policies to the MAGA embrace of pro-Russia policies.

Local displays of support for Ukraine are growing!🇺🇦 @strategywoman.bsky.social

That’s right. 🇺🇦

Rep. Jim Himes: Zelenskyy is watching 70,000 dead Ukrainians. Missiles are slamming into hospitals. This is what he’s seeing, and he comes to the Oval Office, and a reporter asks him why he’s not wearing a suit. And the effing VP wants him to say thank you…

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

WaPo, Page One. “She hoped for change, but not like this” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

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.

The U.S. has two tsunami warning centers, both operated by NOAA. Employees were terminated from these centers today. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center covers Hawaiʻi, and now it is less safe to be near the beach. www.tsunami.gov

Trump is testing the limits of the Oval Office, disregarding democratic laws—echoing the playbook of authoritarianism worldwide. Join us now with @freepress.bsky.social for a discussion with experts who’ve battled authoritarian regimes globally. us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

@bluestormcomin1.bsky.social Thank You

They are stealing from you.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

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.

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

🚨🚨🚨 PSA- Gov. Braun has banned the distribution of the Imagination Station books in Indiana. For those who do not know, Imagination Station is a program started by Dolly Parton which provides a free book each month to children from 0-5. 1/2

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

As Trump makes concessions to Russia, he is showing weakness on a level unprecedented in modern US history. His position is so weak that it is unlikely to convince anyone. Trump is a sheep in wolf’s clothing. The wolves can tell the difference "The Weak Strongman" snyder.substack.com/p/the-weak-s...

Exactly right

I am sending around "Oligarchs’ Island" again, written in November 2024. The White House has become an island of international oligarchs. snyder.substack.com/p/oligarchs-...

Ok that made me laugh

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

Trump is simply repeating a Putin talking point here. Russia has insisted on intervening in basic issues of Ukrainian sovereignty for more than a decade. Now Trump is doing Putin’s PR work, making unsustainable arguments for an unjustifiable invasion. www.axios.com/2025/02/18/t...
