“We lost our representative government: it was infiltrated by organized crime long ago. The last chance to fix it was surrendered by the Biden administration. We have been living in The Aftermath since 2022: it just took Trump’s reinstallation for many to realize it.” — @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

Why aren’t you here? Want to show the administration how you feel? Show up. Now. Lincoln Memorial. Please.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

@jeffstein.bsky.social and WaPo broke this yesterday. NYT advances. This is indescribably bad. “Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave representatives of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency full access to the federal payment system late on Friday” www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

We're three separate countries now: the fascist thugs and their supporters, who have enacted a successful coup, the engaged and aware populace that knows it's under siege and is fighting to survive, and those in self-denial and willful ignorance who are acting as if nothing significant has changed.

I am completely unsurprised

Any Canadian thinking that we, as Canadians, would be better off being the 51st state is off their rocker. #SheShed

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆

America’s allies should be deeply concerned about Pete Hegseth’s confirmation hearing. America’s enemies, meanwhile, are almost certainly laughing in amazement at their unexpected good fortune. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

This is, or should be, a big deal -- Ann Telnaes, an absolute legend, quitting WaPo due to censorship of a cartoon criticizing billionaires anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...
