I think it’s stupid to pay for a tax break for Mark Zuckerberg with new debt on a toddler whose head start center was closed by this administration

I'm still thinking about how awesome yesterday was at the state capitol. A couple thousand people standing in the rain for democracy. What an amazing group of resisters!💙

In the world of privacy coverage, there has always been a central question of who is a greater threat to it: the government or corporate America. Now with DOGE, the two are merged into one: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

Let this sink in for a minute: Six billionaire families primarily funded Project 2025, the far-right social agenda now ravaging American society. These include the wealthy Coors, Koch, Uihlein, Scaife, Seid, and Bradley families. A few peoples' wealth is diverting the path of our entire culture.

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

Why would we abandon the prosperous, democratic nations of Europe, our allies for one hundred years, to "partner" with weak, poor Russia, a longtime adversary and dictatorship currently in the middle of an unprovoked invasion of a neighboring state? Treason. It's treason

If you thought it wasn’t possible—well, here we are. Musk pulled $80 million in funding authorized by Congress straight from NYC’s bank account. The federal government took the funds and called it a “clawback” of taxpayer money. A lot of others would simply call it stealing.

Sharing a thread from my latest on Vance in Munich: "What scale of arrogance and hypocrisy does it take for JD Vance to go to the Munich Security Conference yesterday, stand before European allies and attack their commitment to democracy and free speech?" 1/11 www.americaamerica.news/p/do-real-am...

Remember when Sinéad O'Connor ripped up a picture of the Pope on SNL and everybody freaked out? I wish there was half that much outrage against Trump as he rips up the actual US Constitution.

Sarah Longwell and I discuss the awful speech by JD Vance in Munich—a humiliation for the U.S., and a confirmation that this administration isn't on the side of the democracies. And a coda on the contrasting admirable behavior by several attorneys at DOJ & SDNY. www.thebulwark.com/p/jd-vance-h...

At some point, I hope enough people start reading the room with these people. No one elected a king or a dictator, and he damn sure didn't have a mandate.
