Good Morning friends 💙 Friday night #47 fired several military officials leading us closer toward fascism. Thank you, #GovernorPritzker for being the leader we need ~ #SheShed #Illinois youtu.be/u3qaPhMmoIk?...

"Is Pepsi okay?" No, actually

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

No matter how preposterous, the Times headlines nearly every Trump story as if it were written by the White House comms team.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

Not sure what set him off but Donald Trump is big mad at MSNBC. Irony is lost on him as he's the biggest threat to democracy.

⚡️EU preparing military aid package for Kyiv worth $20.9 billion, Bloomberg reports. The additional military support would supply Kyiv with air defense systems, artillery ammunition, long-range missiles, and drones.

“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.

You are determined to be hostile and missed my point by a country mile. Which is hilariously sad. But hey, fight with yourself

For the first weeks, Americans seemed frozen, expecting institutions to do something. Americans were used to “checks and balances” and “guardrails” working. That didn’t happen. People realized that they had to take matters into their own hands… open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

Brown had to go - he was serving his country while black.

You need to use this energy on your fellow white folks and stay out of Black women’s mentions. You’re loud and wrong as always.

oh boy -- Rich McCormick bailed on CNN after his ill-fated town hall

JUST IN: “A federal judge in Maryland on Friday blocked the Trump administration from terminating federal grants and contracts related to DEI as called for in executive orders signed by President Donald Trump.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

There’s something happening in this country.

The 1950s were a lawless hell scape…

Farmers overwhelmingly backed Trump—now they’re feeling the pain and speaking up. Here’s the thing: If you got grants and contracts under Biden, why vote for Trump—who did nothing for you? It’s easier to be angry than well-informed. Harris voters chose their self-interest.

Only one person who hasnt got a Kluwe! Way to go Chris! 👏✊💪

The snow cover on Mt. Everest has receded by a staggering 150 meters after a very warm winter with no significant precipitation. This Himalayan snow cover sustains the Indus, Ganga, Brahmaputra, Yangtze, Yellow, and Mekong. When we lose it, we lose the ability to feed ourselves.

🚨Texas measles outbreak nears 100 cases, w/16 hospitalizations. Officials suspect it's spilled just across the border to New Mexico. Low vax rates+undetected infections mean it will grow. “This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better” My latest kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

RFK being an addict isn’t the issue — no one better understands drug misuse than a former user. RFK being a fanatical pro-life, queerphobic, mental illness-denying anti-vaxxer, ‘nutrition huckster’ and conspiracy theorist is the issue. www.motherjones.com/politics/202... @annamerlan.bsky.social

Civility doesn’t seem to be working either.

If you didn't know... • Exxon • Moulton/Coors • Walmart Have funded Heritage Foundation (#Project2025) for YEARS #Boycott

When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

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…

The biggest stupid idiots ever in the WH.

Feels like a good time to revisit this old gem

Three updates: 1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

Cubs win! Final: #Cubs 12, Dodgers 4.

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

MUST WATCH video of 3 TX “Crimigration” (criminal + immigration) attorneys who talk with Rep. Jasmine Crockett about how they fight for deportees’ rights, including victims of DV who get caught up by ICE too. How Trump’s firing of judges helps deportees’ cases fighting deportation #Voices4Victory

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

This was just shared with me on Twitter. I 💯 support this. #TreasonousTrump
