We need to create a culture of solidarity. Boycotts and strikes are effective. February 28th, join us.

As the #BrokenTimes and #BrokenPost call Trump's extortion a "deal", the #GoodGuardian once again shows them the way, calling it what it is: theft and blackmail. ‘It’s blackmail’: Ukrainians react to Trump demand for $500bn share of minerals www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

NEW: The Trump/Musk blitzkrieg aims to destroy government to advance oligarchy & autocracy—and to crush the Democrats & the progressive agenda. It's an existential crisis. Yet so many Dems are missing in action. In my OUR LAND newsletter, I ask, WTF? Pls share. link.motherjones.com/public/38721...

Trump: Fire hundreds of thousands of career civil servants trying to keep America safe and running. Also, Trump: Give DHS a budget of up to $200 million to run anti-immigrant ads that repeatedly thank Trump for leading an immigration crackdown. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Every time I see a headline like this, I check to see whether it was Maggie or Swan bylined.

Trump gangster government

On this week's Coffee Klatch, we discuss Trump's latest power grabs, the backlash to DOGE's mass firings, and how Democrats should give voice to the public's anger. Plus, former CFPB Director Rohit Chopra joins us to discuss DOGE's attack on the Bureau.

Pam Bondi Covers Up Foreign Influence Peddling and Lying to the FBI www.emptywheel.net/2025/02/22/p...

My BFF defended her continued support of FB by asserting that she's never given them money. I explained that she gives them data, that they make money by selling her data for targeted ads, etc. not from giving money. I mention this for anyone unaware of how they profit from you on their site(s).

Why is this so hard for news orgs? www.status.news/p/cbs-evenin...

Americans proposed that Ukraine concede half of the profits from its mineral rights in perpetuity... in exchange for essentially nothing. This is not a monetary proposition, let alone a "deal," but rather the demand that Ukraine become a permanent American colony. snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...

Feel angry, helpless? Marcy has been suggesting actions, and taking action helps reduce those feelings.

"Frederick Douglass is the very best that this nation has produced. The cancelation of this parade in his honor [reflects] a deep animus toward anything that detracts from a white-centered view of American history. Yes, racism." open.substack.com/pub/kevinmle...

When the Maryland National Guard pulled out of a planned parade to honor Frederick Douglass, citing Hegseth's anti-"DEI" guidance, Trump allies complained this was a case of 'malicious compliance.' Hegseth's had two weeks to tell the Maryland Guard to go ahead. He hasn't. The racism is the point.

One of my tools as a critic had been a Twitter list called, "Top Journalism Linkers." Designed so that I could survey the space. It was the first thing I read in the morning. When I left it had 6.8K users. Over the weekend I rebuilt it for Bluesky. You can subscribe. bsky.app/profile/jayr...

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

Why do media outlets publish on a platform that does this?

No reasonable person would view my comments as a threat. We are living in a dangerous time, and elected members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced. Read more: www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

@retfcindm.bsky.social I recommend blocking this troll.

I am the great-grandson of a man who led his family out of the shtetl to a strange land in search of a better life. I am the grandson of the three-year-old boy on that journey. As you know, my name is Marc, but my Hebrew name is Elhanan—after the warrior in David’s army who slew a powerful giant.

Absurd that all GOP senators but 2 voted to make a grifter/QAnonish conspiracy-theory-monger who was paid $25,000 by a Kremlin-funded propaganda operative to head the FBI. He also has helped Putin by repeatedly claiming Russia did not attack the 2016 election. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe was arrested at a city council meeting after stating, “MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement. You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is,” before engaging in peaceful civil disobedience.

84% HUD staff cuts will cause irreversible harm to towns still recovering & trying to rebuild from recent disasters. Trump is giving tax breaks to his rich friends over ensuring HUD can deliver resources to you.   Hear 👏🏾 Me 👏🏾 Clearly 👏🏾    He doesn't care about you!

In the wealthiest nation on earth, 25% of seniors should not be living on $15,000 a year or less. We should EXPAND Social Security, not cut it. I will soon be introducing legislation to significantly raise Social Security benefits and extend the solvency of the program.

Do we have anyone covering what's on #FOX, #OAN, #Newsmax? I want to know what my #MAGA Jewish family are being fed about all the #Nazi stuff, but I don't have cable, and don't want to watch it myself if we already have someone doing that legwork. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Legislation that I passed and was funded by Congress, Solar for All, could reduce electric bills for working class families by 80%. The Trump Admin is refusing to release the money in order to protect the profits of fossil fuel billionaires. Unacceptable. Release the funds NOW.

Elon Musk said on X that @marcelias.bsky.social is "undermining civilization." "I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump," Marc writes in response. Read his full letter to Elon Musk.

“This week, Donald Trump falsely accused Ukraine of starting a war against a much larger neighbor,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. “The U.S. president has now chosen to throw America to Putin’s side … Repeating lies, however, does not make them true.”

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

I'm taking legal action to fight the Trump administration's efforts to gut the CFPB.   The CFPB protects Americans and ensures companies are following our consumer protection laws.   Eliminating it will hurt everyday people and benefit bad actors and billionaires like Elon Musk.

It costs far more to hold people at Gitmo than to hold them in the US, even ignoring the flight. It's just theater to rationalize making this war and diverting all our NatSec resources chasing non-criminal brown people.
