Amanda Zurawski has been named one of TIME magazine’s Women of the Year. Amanda’s Story: Citing the state’s abortion laws, Texas doctors denied Amanda Zurawski emergency medical care when her water broke at only 18 weeks of pregnancy. It was September of 2021, and Amanda was miscarrying. Her…

#ResistanceEarth #BlueEarth #Voices4Victory In December, EPA approved Florida’s plan to use a radioactive byproduct of phosphate mining in road construction. The Center for Biological Diversity has sued EPA for ignoring its own science, threatening water sources and creating a public health risk.

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

1/ "The Trump administration has blocked key parts of the federal government’s apparatus for funding biomedical research, effectively halting progress on much of the country’s future work on illnesses like cancer and addiction despite a federal judge’s order to release grant money."

40 years ago, it would have been unthinkable for the president of the United States to repeat Russian propaganda about Ukraine. It's remarkable how far we have fallen with Donald Trump.

FACTS AND TRUTH MATTER

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

The situation in the US 🇺🇸 is serious, with the constitutional and political order rapidly changing. KIM LANE SCHEPPELE (kimlanelaw.bsky.social) explains in our editorial what has happened in the past few weeks and what is at stake. verfassungsblog.de/trumps-count...

Carville: The key issue is that in this century under Democratic President 50 million jobs have been created. One million jobs under Republicans

NEW: Minnesota was just ranked a top state both to retire and to raise a family.   By investing in the things that matter – economic opportunity, health and safety, and strong communities – we’re building the best state for all Minnesotans from childhood through retirement.

A reminder: 1. Elon Musk's wealth is mostly in Tesla stock 2. Tesla is successful because at a key moment in 2009 the federal government gave it a $465 million loan so it could make sedans 3. Musk is now firing thousands of government workers and slashing every service ordinary people depend on

Raise your hand 🖐️ and Repost if you still support President Zelenskyy and the brave people of Ukraine! 🇺🇦 I want all of my 168K friends to follow YOU! 💙 Like ❤️ and repost 🔄 and you will get MORE followers! 🚀 Who is with me? 🖐️

Earlier today I wrote an open letter to Elon Musk in response to a post in which he claimed that I am “undermining civilization” and suffering from “generational trauma.” The response I received from so many of you was overwhelming. Thank you for all the kind words of support. The fight continues.

President Biden left the White House with the "best economy in the world" a clean record, no lawsuits, a strong NATO alliance, a leader of the free world, GAZA ceasefire deal, gas was $2.99 about the same for eggs and no major plane crashes. Trump has already messed everything up in only one month.

IL Gov. Pritzker is one of the great leaders of our time. You can watch his full IL budget address here. If you forward to the 26 minute mark, you can watch as he shifts to a dire warning about the direction our country is taking, but also words of hope. We should all take heed.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

This is a great watch:

During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived. His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. Sláva Ukrayíni!

A federal judge is being asked by contractors and aid recipients to hold Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the director of the U.S. Agency for International Development in civil contempt of court over their "brazen defiance" of an order to keep the agency functioning. #News&Politics

Everyone has things in their career of which they're ashamed. Nothing...and I mean nothing...in my career in politics makes me more ashamed and regretful than supporting and promoting Marco Rubio. He is the most craven betrayer of his stated ideals of any human I've ever met.

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

Jeffries is Pelosi without the legislative track record. So it’s the same level of communications failure without the upside.

The DNC released this garbage as a PDF. It's just a text document with links. HTML exists to solve this use case. Instead of solving the problem properly, they went with the clumsiest, heaviest, least useful format possible. This perfectly captures the modern Democratic party.

Oh my gawd. 🤬🤬🤬

If you don’t think promoting hate and discrimination are not primary goals of this administration you’re not paying attention.

FFS! Trump has banned a children's book by actress Julianne Moore Moore’s book about a redheaded girl who learns to accept her freckles was flagged alongside others as “potentially related to gender ideology or discriminatory equity ideology topics” theconversation.com/julianne-moo...

People saying that they are shocked, or that Putin is hoodwinking Trump still don't get it. Putin isn't fooling Trump or Trump has not changed his position. He is pro-Putin, he wants Russia to do well and he could not care less about Ukraine (and he hates Zelensky).

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are putting your Social Security checks at risk. Top Social Security official exits after clash with Musk's DOGE over data

Russia is not our partner, Russia is not our ally, Russia is not, or it’s EVER been our friend! We must defend AGAINST Russia, and the oligarchs that support it! These are beyond rich people, that are so freaking greedy, they are willing to rape the World, because they can NEVER have enough!

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Republican lawmakers held a hearing on "The Censorship-Industrial Complex" to rehash old grievances. Here's what Free Press co-CEO Craig Aaron warned lawmakers about the free-speech crisis facing our country: https://www.freepress.net/blog/free-speech-under-attack-heres-what-i-want-congress-know

Common Cause wanted to publish an ad in the Wash Post questioning Musk’s authority to make changes to our federal workforce & government. The Wash Post would not publish the ad. Why not, I wonder?
