That meme where they all go nuts & stare at the camera

Good morning! One of the things I appreciate most about BlueSky is the opportunities people share about how to resist (vs. just reading or talking about it). If you want to be inspired to do more, I highly recommend @kingresist.bsky.social who shares videos of what he’s doing. #belikekingresist

Let’s start with these immigrants.

This hits hard.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

“They know what they are doing is deeply unpopular. They are offering a tax cut to the most wealthy that is 850 times larger than what they are offering working people.“

It’s the last day of this congressional recess, but it’s not too late to help turn up the pressure on your representative to stop the Trump-Musk coup. We’ve got events planned around the country (including Tesla dealerships): indivisible.org/muskorus

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

As Trump pursues his policies, Democratic states block his path

My latest op-ed in the Washington Post www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

In 2020, the military was adamant about refusing to get involved in the election. That's why Trump hates General Mark Milley so much. Now, Trump is transforming the military into one that will back him up in 2029. We need to figure out how to prepare for that eventuality.

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

Here's @bluestein.bsky.social's uncensored thread of the town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA), in which an unhappy audience pushes back against DOGE cuts: threadreaderapp.com/thread/18927...

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

Rich McCormick of the GA 7th District.

oh boy -- Rich McCormick bailed on CNN after his ill-fated town hall

Trump benefits from the bully pulpit of the presidency, a legislative branch that has contracted out all of its autonomy, and Elon’s unlimited funding—but if he loses popular support, none of those things will matter. And we’re already seeing the tide turn. McCormick’s district (below) is R+22.

Hero of Democracy: Governor Janet Mills of the shitty state of Maine. "I'll see you in court." 😅🤣😂

Expose them & their ugly hate one by one if necessary Meet MAGA Bitch Betty Thorne & husband Tom from Surprise Arizona who assaulted this women & tried to kidnap her child www.threads.net/@campcallout... Welcome to Court #FAFO

🎯 ‘It’s a relay, find your team’

He’s right again.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

apnews.com/article/ukra... Trump’s attempts to denigrate Zelenskyy have led to a surge in Ukrainian unity

Trump is firing thousands upon thousands of VETERANS for no reason at all. These men & women put their lives on the line for our country and they do critical work, many of them serving other veterans! Trump and Musk’s reckless firing spree is beyond despicable.

Gov. Mills tells Trump to his face that Maine will not be bullied into complying with his anti-transgender order. “We’re going to follow the law sir. We’ll see you in court,” she said. mainemorningstar.com/2025/02/21/g...

This is on purpose!

Republicans vote in the worst people. This guy assaulted a woman at The Wharf! www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/f...

Look, when the parliamentary leader of the Rassemblement national refuses to appear at CPAC thanks to Bannon giving a "provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally last month", you should just acknowledge that these guys are fucking Nazis!

Reproductive freedom is at risk in Wisconsin. MAGA extremist Brad Schimel wants to enforce a 175-year-old abortion ban. We can protect abortion rights (and the liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court) by electing Susan Crawford. Take action: indivisible.org/scow...

Column by Michelle Singletary: People have questions about Social Security, tax returns, and investments and want to know whether government cuts will affect their money.

If you haven’t seen this yet, please do. Because this morning something awesome happened that I’m going to say more about soon…. Hint: Georgia…. Town hall. It’s happening…. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

This corrupt regime in the White House is led by a pathological liar 🤥 Remember that.
