“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.

As I mentioned in this piece, the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was who Trump turned to in 2020 when he asked, "Can't you just shoot [the protesters]?"

It’s the illegal parking jackpot: A Cybertruck, idling with nobody inside, in front of a fire hydrant, with a paper license plate that expired 10 days ago.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

I've been seeing lots of super compelling videos of park rangers and federal lawyers and other federal workers telling their stories. Talking about what they did at their job, how it helped the American people, and why they want to keep doing those jobs. This is the way.

now voting: Sen. Bennet (D-Colo.) amdt #540 to reinstate National Parks Service employees fired by DOGE. This is amendment 7 of ~40. Hickenlooper amendment defeated 47-53

PETE: “What we have to do now is make clear we do want government to work differently and better than it has, but burning it to the ground won’t do that for anyone.”

Tensions are rising in DC, as more join protests against the Trump-Musk government takedowns. Wednesday night furious protesters reached the SpaceX lobby headquarters on F Street. #FederalUnionistNetwork #Resist #FederalWorkers #ACLU dcmediagroup.us/2025/02/19/h...

Government’s wins are often invisible: Systems that avoid plane crashes; alliances that avert war; surveillance that prevent pandemics. Government wins are often *the avoidance of loss.* So how do we tell the story of the destruction of government? The story of future losses *not* averted?

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."
