This is so fucking tragic. Today Europe is completely united behind Ukraine and the cause of freedom. Meanwhile the United States is sitting this one out along with Russia and Iran. Make it make sense.

No one wants a paper trail because spending funds Congress has not appropriated is colloquially known as “stealing from the US Treasury.”

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

Every single politician in America, especially Republican could learn a lesson about not cravenly debasing yourself like a pathetic meek coward. (There are other terms that come to mind.)

“I am ashamed for my nation; even if Congress acts to support and aid Ukraine, it cannot restore the American honor lost today.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social captures this shameful episode and treatment of an ally. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.” I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

Elon lied. Funding for Ebola and PEPFAR have not resumed. Please share widely.

“This is not about personal liberties or free markets. It’s about making the Post more amenable to the Trump administration so that Jeff Bezos’s businesses will not be punished.” @jvl.bsky.social

Arizona AG Kris Mayes, New Mexico AG Raul Torrez, and Oregon AG Dan Rayfield will begin holding Community Impact Hearings — a national series of townhalls "to hear from the public about the impact of federal firings and DOGE funding freezes across the country." The first will be in Phoenix March 5.

Let he who has never accidentally canceled Ebola prevention file the first lawsuit

📌James Carville: Democrats should undertake “a strategic political retreat.” 📌The Germans: “You can’t be serious. We tried that, pal.” #ShutUpJames

Secretary of Defense Hegseth says he doesn’t know if Russia invaded Ukraine. This you?

We’re stepping up to help victims of crime where the Trump Administration is failing.   Our budget helps fund vital public safety services like response centers, domestic violence shelters, and other supports for crime victims.

Republican events for a month now (including Inauguration Day!) have featured a prominent Nazi salute & legacy media outlets ignore it. Seems like a trend worth covering, no? Maybe access to the Nazi party shouldn't be prioritized??

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.

We have added @trumpgolftrack.com to Bluesky. Please pass it on!

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

Hi Canada.🇨🇦 Protect your public institutions & your democracy. You think YOU have a healthcare crisis now? Watch your downstairs neighbors in the US as millions of our poorest get kicked off Medicaid. Do NOT let the far right in!

🚨 Consumer sentiment dropped 10% in February, hitting a low since late 2023.Key findings: 📉 40% now cite tariffs as a concern (up from 27%); 📈 Over 50% expect rising unemployment; 💰 Nearly 40% say high prices are hurting their living standards. Trump is blowing up the economy all over again.

Every Democrat should be telling this story.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

BREAKING: Sir Keir Starmer has spoken to Zelenskyy this evening expressing his support, Downing Street has said

Dear Trump voter with elderly parent(s) in nursing home: Get your guest room ready and kiss your free time, vacation & toy money goodbye!

All of this — per @ioponomarenko.bsky.social:

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

Hey, @msnbc.com. Why do you allow your readers to share articles on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and most other major platforms — but NOT Bluesky? Asking for nearly 32 million users.

Zelenskyy: "I will never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine. Never."

I absolutely love this idea.

Finally This is 100%

Nothing said by Trump & Musk in the Oval is true. They don’t have any proof of what they said.

My latest: "Black American Culture Trumps MAGA" Kendrick Lamar's masterful Super Bowl Halftime Show reminds us that the resistance to white supremacy can be joyful, proud, loud, unapologetic, and super Black. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

GREAT info here. A really important read. Sherrilyn is a must-follow.

And so it begins... I have an appointment at USA Medical Center for my that was made through the VA. After driving 80 miles to get here, they told me that the VA hasn't authorized payment so they have to reschedule for next month

Payday's "Day Without Immigrants" Strike Tracker found strikes in 120 cities & at least 40 states on Monday. While tens of thousands of workers of immigrant workers participated, neither the NYT, WashPost nor the big TV networks covered it. paydayreport.com/map-day-with...

I did this identical post on twitter, threads & Bluesky. Only Zuckerberg’s threads warned me not to use such a mean word to describe Trump.
