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...

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.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

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.”

I think about this exchange often.

This is how opposition is done! Ex-NFL kicker and activist Chris Kluwe disrupted the MAGA Huntington Beach City Council meeting to protest their placement of a plaque with MAGA on it at the library, the library council is trying to destroy. Hero 👍 #Voices4Victory m.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl1Q...

Heyyyyy Wisconsin MAGA dairy farmers...how's that USAID cheese contract y'all used to bank on doing? What? The contracts are gone and your dairy farms are going to go under? Thank DOGE!

Hooray for Maya May!!!!

The country continues to be in chaos with unconstitutional and damaging decisions coming form both the White House and State of Florida, further emphasizing the importance of local leadership to maintain and expand progress despite the challenges around us. 1/2

Knowledge is power…

ICYMI: Protests in opposition to President Trump and Elon Musk are being planned around the state and country tomorrow on President’s Day. You can find an event near you at buildtheresistance.org I have to leave for Tallahassee later tonight so plan to attend the State Capitol rally myself 💪

Count me in, ladies!! 💙💙

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

FAFO River!

HELLO. Are you looking for a very comprehensive toolkit about how to take on the Trump-Musk administration and their congressional enablers this recess? We've got you covered: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

I concur!

Greg Stilson and his human shield. Stephen King had it right.

Well… today I have my first DOGE subcommittee hearing along with a Judiciary hearing, all while DC is snowed in! If I had normal coworkers & the country wasn’t going to hell lead by DOGE Douchebags, I’d say, “nothing to see here,” but something tells me, today is going to be pure insanity…

Read this and apply! This is a great tool! I have a great democratic rep @maxwellfrost.bsky.social and I have called his office. Follow the link and the script. Get yourself heard and get in the game!

Polycute?

This is all 'the battle.' There isn't 'waiting for the right' one anymore. They know precisely what they are doing and it's meant to keep us pacing back and forth waiting for the 'right battle.' Stop dicking around and pick any battle. Get in the fight now. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Dear media, No, Trump isn’t “signaling” that he “might” ignore the courts. He. Is. Ignoring. The. Fucking. Courts. The end. Do your damn job.

By the time these people wake up, it'll be over, one way or the other. CNN not the best place to get our "news"

Dr Timothy Snyder, History Professor at Yale University, urges all Americans who love their Freedom & Democracy to take immediate & decisive action against the Oligarchs’ coup d’etat before it is too late

I think a lot of us need to hear this right now! 💙

We must *be* the system and defend it!

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

#ProudBlue Good afternoon friends! Hope you are enjoying your Super Bowl Sunday. FOTUS is even putting a damper on that! Ugh! Don’t want to see his ugly mug! Hubby sent me this meme from another platform, thought it was pretty amusing, so sharing it with you! 😏
