Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

2 PhD students recently met at a conference & Trump's slashing of research & science bound them With only 3 other scientists they started a movement that's growing around the country On March 7 in Washington DC, and state capitals, "Stand Up for Science" will take place All details below & bravo!

For the MAGA federal employees who believe this is good for the country: I'm sure that you need your job to pay the those high egg prices you've been crying about. Whatcha gonna do? Wake tf up! *sips*☕️ #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #USDemocracy apnews.com/article/doge...

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

Everything they do is to enrich themselves and their friends. electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

Love to see it!

We LOVE her!! ‘See You in Court’: Maine Governor Clashes With Trump Over Trans Rights www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Donald Trump tried to bully Maine Democratic Gov. Janet Mills. She stood up for herself and her state, calling Trump out to his face. www.advocate.com/politics/mai...

Abuse of power? Tit for tat? Spat? “One month into his administration, Donald Trump has started to weaponize government against schools, states, and students,” @glsen.bsky.social executive director Melanie Willingham-Jaggers said. www.advocate.com/politics/tru...

Did you guys see the governor of Maine talk back to Trump? Oh my God. Legend.

www.bbc.com/news/article... -Alternative for Germany (AfD)’s policies include: leaving the EU, restoring Nord Stream 2, decreasing aid to Ukraine, & lifting sanctions against Russia. The party is regularly criticized for its ties to Russian special services and support for pro-Russian rhetoric.

“While in this moment of emergency we must fight to preserve the democracy we have, reform & rethinking will be needed to achieve the democracy we want for the future. The chaos, corruption & misery will be hard but every day more eyes will be opened to the truth” open.substack.com/pub/lucid/p/...

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Shoutout to Governor Janet Mills! This is the kind of courage we need.

BREAKING NEWS: 10:18 Pete Hegseth has kicked CNN out of the Pentagon and reposted this final shot of the office they used for many years.

it's Saturday, and it's time for "this week in stupid: February 22 edition" — fake-Donny dances, Proud Boy prances, and so much more... thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

Good riddance.

Good riddance to the most dishonest and destructive criminal in the history of the United States Senate. Cartoon by @wardsutton.bsky.social

It’s a cult.

Thank you @govpritzker.illinois.gov. This is what it looks like to act American, to act heroic. We need more American heroes following the leadership example from Governor Pritzker.

Instead of doing anything meaningful to help Americans with rising costs, Trump and Musk are scamming the American people with the promise of a “DOGE dividend.” Let’s be clear: this is little more than a ploy to boost their flagging approval numbers.

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

I've been seeing lots of super compelling videos of park rangers and federal lawyers and other federal workers telling their stories. Talking about what they did at their job, how it helped the American people, and why they want to keep doing those jobs. This is the way.

I was at the store when I saw the notice of Patel's confirmation. I exclaimed "OH MY GOD!" Clerk asked what happened—I explained they just confirmed Kash Patel! She and no one in the checkout line with me knew what I was talking about. 😬😡

Appearing today in The Week:

Hey everyone! I did an emergency live over on Substack, reminding us all that we will win this thing! Take a look! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

I remember that, yeah.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

COLLINS: “In 2023 you wrote in Putin is to blame like Al-Qaeda was to blame for 9/11 - Do you still feel that way or do you share the president's assessment that Ukraine is to blame?” WALTZ: “That was back when I was in Congress.”🤷🏻

Your neighbor decides he wants what's in your fridge. He kicks in the back door & you fight back with all you have. A guy from a neighborhood across town shows up with weapons of every description & says you're a tyrant for telling the invader he can't have your house & everything in it.

Over 220 roads are currently closed from flooding, and now snow is affecting areas as well. There are 2,300 Kentucky Transportation Cabinet personnel out working tirelessly, because they care about their fellow Kentuckians. Please give them space to do their jobs and thank these heroes.

WE NEED A NEW COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF: Trump posts we aren’t at risk in a European War because the Atlantic Ocean will protect us He doesn’t know Oceanic Defense was disproved in the ‘20s and at Pearl Harbor. We’re in danger GET THE ALL-NEW COUNTDOWN PODCAST tinyurl.com/bdhmjb44

From @brianbeutler.bsky.social, a good way for Dems to put GOP on notice about Trump's appeasement of Putin: "If this leads to WW III, you’re owning that right now. You are making that possible right now, and we’re not going to let the world forget it." On the pod: newrepublic.com/article/1917...

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.
