In the wealthiest nation on earth, 25% of seniors should not be living on $15,000 a year or less. We should EXPAND Social Security, not cut it. I will soon be introducing legislation to significantly raise Social Security benefits and extend the solvency of the program.

Unprecedented tornadoes. Melting ice caps. Hurricanes intensified by warming seas. 2nd degree burns on 117°F asphalt. Why are MAGA Republicans in lockstep with the fossil fuel industry? Dark money contributions to MAGA politicians. http://dlvr.it/TJ5TLm #SaveOurClimate

BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.

"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage." -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)

“I knew someone on AA5432.” That was the subject of an email NPR host Adrian Ma sent to newsroom leaders in the hours after the DC plane crash. He trusted us with sharing his story — and her contagious energy. www.npr.org/2025/02/20/g...

Last night I attended the Save Our Services rally in New York City. Listen to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) fighting for people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” @aoc.bsky.social

Keep in mind that the probationary federal employees who are now being fired are NOT just newly hired ones. If a long-term employee is promoted to a higher-level position, such as a supervisory or managerial role, then the employee may be subject to a probationary period for that new position.

Europe has always been lethargic in response to Russian revanchism. But if America will no longer be in the breach, Europe will have to wake up. Six things Europe should do after America, from @giselledonnelly.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/european-d...

Ottawa purchases 500,000 doses of bird flu vaccine for people at higher risk, by @kellygrant1.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... via @theglobeandmail.com #H5N1

Great essay not just on #takedowntesla but how it's working and how it exemplifies direct action (Waging Nonviolence is always worth checking out):

He will burn down whatever he can, however he can Our systems of governance, rule of law, global alliances, even the Constitution. Consumed by vengeance and greed, he is the greatest threat to our Republic since its founding. We must meet this moment with the force of a thousand suns. Or perish.

well done, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

The CDC has an ultra-competitive 2-year program to train "the best of the best" to lead public health labs. Most of the current class were terminated over the weekend. www.science.org/content/arti... (by @meredithwadman.bsky.social)

Jeffries: President Zelenskyy is not a dictator—he was a duly elected president of Ukraine. It’s shocking—but I guess not surprising—that Donald Trump continues to play footsie with Vladimir Putin, a sworn enemy of the United States.

It would be a shame to encourage folks to use banned book lists to do strange things like -check them out regularly at the library -request the library order them if they don’t have them -buy them -start or support banned book clubs -organize a banned book kids story time A real shame

Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

New from CNN: we looked at how in case after case, fired federal employees deemed 'low performers' actually got stellar performance reviews before being fired. We spoke to fired employees across depts of Homeland Security, Energy, Transportation and Veterans Affairs. www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

Many of Trump’s early actions are unpopular, Post-Ipsos poll finds: “57 percent say he has exceeded his authority since taking office…” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Just to say it plainly, Trump is parroting Russian propaganda

Real question, how will all this impact tax season?

This is true. @bsky.app is the app of the people. We may not all agree. We may not even all like each other. But we can engage and disagree and agree with our hate That makes the platform the future of social media

This is a betrayal of not just Ukraine, but our principles as a nation.

I try to keep the language on here… PG… but in this case i can’t. You, Trump, are a traitorous piece of shit

Thank goodness we have United States Senators who take very, very seriously their Article I responsibility to engage in … {checks notes} … fact-checking www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke
