so then it's not a cost-cutting team, is it

See you tomorrow at the Strand Theatre for Lift Every Voice: A Black History Month Celebration!

Do you make less than $360,000 a year? Your taxes are about to go UP. And you have Trump, Musk, and the Republicans to thank for it.

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.

And this, ladies & gentleman, is how we got here.

Musk is (1) randomly firing people (and cuts) in agencies for which he ideologically opposed (2) targeted firing people (and cuts) for his personal benefit. Effect will be (1) less effective federal government (2) massive costs to US to clean up mess he is creating (3) Musk making money

We NEED @blakegendebien.bsky.social to win. This is an all hands situation.

We’re going up the creek and better finds some paddles fast

Trump is a MFin' Russian Agent. There is no denying it now. He is the #CyberianCandidate Read it on my substack open.substack.com/pub/malcolmn...

💥Trump's federal purge is more than just headlines—it's a real threat to our lives. The generational damage it will cause is incalculable. NEW: open.substack.com/pub/stopdoom...

NEW: Elon Musk’s team has descended on an already understaffed Social Security Administration, which now faces further workforce cuts and closures of vital local offices. The consequences could be significant for millions of the most vulnerable Americans.

The media made a big issue of low homeownership rates among the young under Biden, even when the rate was above the pre-pandemic peak. Will it be an issue under Trump now that it is below pre-pandemic levels open.substack.com/pub/deanbake...

Just so everybody is clear on Republican priorities: We put up an amendment to make sure nobody making over $500 million gets a tax cut. Republicans voted against it.

Every vaccine already requires informed consent by law. This is pure antivaxx disinformation, now coming from the CDC.

I am a failure at visual communication but every day I think of things I want to communication visually, like the bodies of knowledge Trump 2.0 is memory holing.

An excellent & important point

Looks like lots of families won't be able to enjoy the national parks this spring and summer because of Elon Musk and DOGE www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi... It's very MAGA!

This is a local action: but if you're in IN, make some calls to champion Dolly Parton's program for literacy.

The country is facing uncertainty & instability, #Boston. Let’s reelect a mayor w/ 12 yrs city exp, not a wealthy “Illuminati recruiter”who just moved here. @mayorwu.boston.gov

THEY DO NOT WANT TO FIX GOVERNMENT; THEY WANT TO BREAK IT AND MAKE IT UNFIXABLE.

Exactly what #Boston needs!

Congratulations to Blue Mountain Jamaican Restaurant on their new liquor license! We’re proud to support small, local businesses like Blue Mountain with funding that helps them grow and thrive. Wishing Marcia and the team all the best!

Alright Dems, take your swings

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

It’s not just about the economy. It’s also about the data, especially the personal data. Dr. @hcrichardson.bsky.social does a great job explaining the troubling access DOGE has to all kinds of personal data as they rampage through the government. People need to be arrested!

President Trump is firing American workers who monitor bird flu outbreaks, safeguard nuclear facilities, and now those who promote American history in Dorchester – all to help pay for tax breaks for billionaires and giant corporations.

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

You can’t divorce a candidate’s housing agenda from the broader context of why they’re running for office. It’s very clear that Josh Kraft is running for mayor to hand power back to the Good Ol’ Boys networks that Wu has challenged. Therefore, his calls for making housing more affordable ring hollow

FYI #Bospoli, Josh Kraft donated to Buddy Carter, the sponsor of this bill to buy Greenland and rename it Red, White and Blueland. This man is not our friend.

Tom Homan called Boston’s Mayor Michelle Wu “not very smart”. He called AOC the “dumbest congresswoman ever elected”. These are two brilliant women of color who are being insulted by a small and hateful man. This is disgusting.

Can anyone even think of a legitimate reason for him to get this? Can anyone even proffer an argument that it won't lead to grave abuses and violations of privacy? wapo.st/3QizwcN

You can say that again.

This is catastrophically dangerous. We’re all paying a price because Republicans let Elon Musk recklessly fire the people who help prevent nuclear disasters. "Trump administration officials fired more than 300 staffers at the NNSA — the agency tasked with managing the nation’s nuclear stockpile."

‘Nuclear blackmail:’ Russia strikes Chornobyl as leaders gather for Munich Security Conference, Abramovich's money unfrozen in Israel after Trump's arrival 😡 Europe will not be part of Ukraine talks, Vance attacks Europe, A New Spy Unit Is Leading Russia’s War Against the West, and much more...

When you call your Rep. and Senators, especially those in the majority, the reason they should oppose throttling NIH is not about you, it is about Jobs, Economic activity, and Healthcare for constituents they care about. It is about how much this will hurt their voters. Get them to yes on saving NIH

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Musk’s takeover of US health agencies raises pandemic threat, experts warn

after the overturning of roe, black infant mortality has spiked nearly 11% in states with abortion bans: www.reuters.com/world/us/inf...

Eric Adams is terrible and needs to be removed from office. Gov Hochul let's get busy.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Hagan Scotten, who wrote this spectacular resignation letter, was an army ranger for 8 years, top of his law school class (Harvard) & a John Roberts law clerk. Not exactly a candidate for Trump’s liberal deep state.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s idea of efficiency is stopping research on curing cancer.

Clearly the best time to make concessions to Russia…

All you need to know.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com: Not one reporter has asked Trump about Musk’s decision to take away food from starving babies.
