Shout out to Indivisible Mad River Valley and folks from all over Vermont who showed up to tell JD Vance that Nazis aren’t welcome 👇👇👇

Move over Ethan Allen, here comes Lucy Welch billmckibben.substack.com/p/special-ve...

Donald Trump is literally playing golf while JD Vance is skiing while MAGA is shit out of eggs.

@leahgreenberg.bsky.social

To be clear, “Vance skis in jeans” is Vermont’s highest insult. This is Final Boss Nuclear Insult level in the Vermont linguistic hierarchy.

1500-3000 showed up in little Waitsfield, VT (Population 1800+) this morning. So yeah... we doubled the population today! Vance is in the valley and we made sure to use our voice and protest! @indivisible.org @leahgreenberg.bsky.social @ezralevin.bsky.social www.facebook.com/watch/?extid...

“Sorry VP, sold out”— JD Vance met with pro-Ukraine protests as he tries to go skiing ⛷️ in Vermont

“Meanwhile, a short distance away in the quiet ski town of Waitsfield, ppl lined the streets to express their displeasure w/Vance. More than 700 protesters stood on sidewalks & snowbanks along Route 100, cheering, singing & holding signs aloft … mostly supportive motorists honked their approval.”

It's very reasonable for normal, upstanding Americans to make clear that they won't stand for unAmerican trash like JD Vance. Everyone has their limits.

Kind of ironic that he spent the day on a slippery slope.

This is excellent.

@indivisible.org Indivisible Mad River Valley organized a protest against Vance in the Valley.Over 1,000 people let the administration know that we are OUTRAGED that we have betrayed Ukraine. OUTRAGED at the disregard for human suffering. OUTRAGED that republicans in Congress are complicit.

🚨 BREAKING: After torpedoing yesterday’s meeting with Zelensky, JD Vance fled to Vermont for vacation—only to be met by hundreds of furious protesters. Couldn’t have happened to a better guy!

Thread.

🚨 BREAKING: 🚨 Americans are taking a stand for Ukraine! 🇺🇦✊🇺🇸Fox News reports that protesters have disrupted JD Vance’s vacation in Vermont after his disgraceful display yesterday. The message is loud and clear: Betraying Ukraine means betraying democracy—and Americans won’t stay silent.

Vermont showed up to sour Vance’s ski vacay! ❤️ Photos by a friend

Wow: JD Vance is apparently skiing in Vermont this weekend and the locals aren’t having it. Thousands have lined the streets in protest.

Great protest organized by Indivisible Mad River Valley with support from 50501

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities. #50501movement #PeoplesMovement #FiftyFiftyOne #March4thForDemocracy #ImpeachTrump #NoKings #PoliticalRevolution #BuildTheResistance #EconomicBlackout @polrev.bsky.social

I’m somehow on a Heritage Foundation mailing list (😂) and they sent a survey to see what we think of DOGE. Who wants to offer some m-fing feedback?!? secured.heritage.org/the-heritage... Please share with a friend or a thousand :)

A federal judge in Washington said that the way the Trump administration set up and has been running Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency could violate the Constitution.

5calls.org/issue/budget... CALL TONIGHT OR TOMORROW MORNING, regardless of your congressperson’s party. Let them know that cutting social programs like Medicare and Medicaid in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthy is wrong.

I am the great-grandson of a man who led his family out of the shtetl to a strange land in search of a better life. I am the grandson of the three-year-old boy on that journey. My English name is Marc, but my Hebrew name is Elhanan (אֶלְחָנָן)—after the warrior in David’s army who slew a powerful giant.

Is Donald Trump going to respond to Musk’s email and report on what he did last week? To help, I’ve gone ahead and done it for him. A thread:

This is plainly stupid and illegal. However. There are like two million federal employees. I encourage all of them to respond with a 69-page email full of ipsum lorem gibberish and bury the words "go fuck yourself" in the middle.

Hey Vermont Gov Phil Scott... Where are you?

Today's New England Governor Scorecard #Maine governor Janet Mills 🥳 👏 #Vermont governor Phil Scott 👎👎👎

I just subscribed to 5 Calls Newsletter! You should too! buttondown.com/5calls

Thou shalt impeach the motherfucker.

He is mentally unfit to hold the office.

Okay, I want to say it again for anyone who needs to hear it right now: Yes, calling is better for getting in touch with your reps. But right now? DO IT HOWEVER YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE. I'm really concerned that the emphasis on calling right now is stopping people from getting in touch.

I really think it would be better if Senate Democrats stop telling us what they are thinking about doing and just do it.

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.

They want to make it illegal to call a student by their chosen pronouns. They want to ban teaching Howard Zinn and Studs Terkel and Dr. Kendi. They want to tell kids who to be and what to think. They are schoolyard bullies with too much power. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

If you’re a Democrat and you’re still aiming your fucking fire at Joe Biden kindly fuck all the way off. The Day One Dictator said he is building a detention camp for 30,000 people. Focus on that shit or fuck off.

Read this thread. Important to understand what federal employees are dealing with.

If you are in Louisiana calling Bill Cassidy, you can add to this that as an actual physician, he shouldn't want anything to do with this guy and should know how dangerous he is.

Thanks. This clarifies nothing.

Teen Vogue has had sharper political coverage and commentary than most of the mainstream media for years now. Love this for them.

He is right.
