Got any plans for next Friday? Cancel them and do this instead, we need you. ❤️🇺🇸

just taking tonight to really appreciate all these years of journalistic tut-tut-tutting about how over-the-top it was for anyone to focus on trump's affinity for russia and putin.

Auchincloss: "Zelenskyy flew to Washington, but he walked into the Kremlin."

Moore: Telling people who have worn the uniform of this country, who have been willing to pay the highest price to be called American—and now looking at the service.. and saying that maybe they’re not fit to serve—hearing that come from somebody who was never willing to take that oath is very rich..

This Sunday, the whole country needs to spring forward from 1939.

France just can’t stop showing off. Now they’ve burnt down their first Tesla dealership in protest to Elon Musk. #E3 #TeslaTakeOver

IT’S WORKING!!!! KEEP SHOWING UP, MAKING YOUR VOICES HEARD!!!

The Pentagon has marked 26,000 photos for deletion to purge evidence of diversity. The photos include the 1st black pilots in WWII, the 1st women to pass infantry training & the plane that dropped the Hiroshima bomb because it’s called the “Enola GAY”. This is real. We’re living in a horror story.

well this made me cry over breakfast. to any democrats holding even a shred of power right now: look at what’s possible from people far more endangered and vulnerable than you and grow a spine, you fucking cowards www.erininthemorning.com/p/powerful-s...

Every time I read a story like this I recommit to be louder and more defiant.

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip: He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress. He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession. He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law. Keep fighting.

For the rest of my life, I will never understand how a country full of people busting their asses, working paycheck to paycheck, allow the fucking richest guy on Earth to call them "parasites" while calling the Social Security we contributed to our entire lives "a Ponzi scheme." Un-fucking-real.

Goldman on Trump trying to dismantle Dept of Ed through an executive order: "Just the fact that this is what he's doing shows his disdain for the American people, shows his disdain for public education, shows his disdain for special programs that are essential for so many Americans to use & learn."

They have to review and respond to every unique comment by law, so every message you send below supports efforts to block this policy from further harming trans people.

There’s only so many doomsday articles one can repost before becoming fatigued by the scary and unhinged reality of where we are at in this moment.

Are we rationale creatures? To some extent, yes. But all research and statistics show us that a big percentage of us do not understand the world well enough to vote in our own intnerests. We are easily distracted and mislead. The autocrats know this, and have weaponized it.

BREAKING: Trump shuts off intelligence to Ukraine, cutting off data for drones, air attacks, and air defense This is a clear and direct violation of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994 - in which US gave security guarantee to Ukraine in exchange for Ukraine giving up nukes and ships

Getting rid of the American workers who take care of American veterans is wrong. Veterans will not take this sitting down - we can make this the newest example of Trump being forced to back down from a bad move.

Joe Gallina: If you could tell Donald Trump anything tonight, what would you tell him? Rep. Jasmine Crockett: Grow a spine and stop being Putin’s hoe.

Omg. In a shocking moment, Nancy Bolan, a fired USAID worker and tonight’s guest of Rep. Ritchie Torres — reveals that Donald Trump has pulled the U.S. from the global polio eradication initiative — which threatens its spread to the U.S. Every single American should see this.

Because the president is a psychopath, because the vice president has the spine of a jellyfish, because the people of this nation are terrorized, the state of the union is strongly fucked up. .

I refuse to normalize him. I did not vote for him, he does not represent me, and I do not believe he is at all deserving of being here—and so I grieve his ascension and resist his ugliness. I will not comply, bow, or obey. FULL POST: johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/i-do-not-o...

The best words.

One thousand times this

Don't let anyone tell you that there is no protest happening. Our latest Crowd Counting Consortium data update is now available. February saw thousands of events. 50501 days of action, immigration-related protests & Tesla takeovers were key spikes in activity. dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtm....

Being anti-trans is really an elite phenomenon that elites are mistakenly convinced is widely shared.

The Democrats are now walking out of the chamber en masse.

Rep. Al Green is a goddamn hero.

BREAKING: A judge blocked President Trump's executive order targeting access to gender-affirming care for trans people under 19 years old nationwide. This is the second time this discriminatory executive order has been put on hold in our legal challenge against it.

At this point countries should consider banning Musk products and sanctioning him outright like he’s a Russian oligarch. Nothing better you could do for the pro-constitutional forces in the US than helping economically annihilate this man

Fetterman out with a STRONG statement on his trans sports vote.

An important statement from the American Bar Association. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Stand with trans Americans. You don’t have to understand everything about the transgender experience to know that Trump’s acts of humiliation and dehumanization are unjust and dangerous. www.thebulwark.com/p/stand-with...

"First, know this: our kids did not choose to be transgender. Our children's only choice was to come out and share their experiences and who they are." www.advocate.com/voices/paren...

Trump is using campus protest as a gateway to prohibit all protest in the long run. This is a long game to dismantle First Amendment protections. I hope that's obvious to everyone.

"I'm burning America down and making it illegal for you to complain about it."

1. Today, Senate Democrats showed spine, and killed a national transgender sports ban bill via filibuster. Not a SINGLE Democrat voted for cloture. S. Baum writes about what happened today, including some of the speeches. Subscribe to support our journalism.

BREAKING - a bill mandating genital inspections to participate at all age levels of girls' and women's sports fails in the U.S. Senate. It needed 60 votes to move forward.

The cloture vote in the senate on a trans sports ban failed due to united Democratic opposition (needed 60 votes). When it matters on legislation, Democrats still have not abandoned trans folks.

Monday morning feels. How are you doing? 😝

Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger "ponzi scheme" is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations?

I am an American against Donald Trump. I am the American majority.

The United States must support Ukraine. We signed on to the Budapest Memorandum in 1994, promising them protection if they would give up their nuclear weapons, as Rubio so clearly described in the clip. tRump and his entire regime are criminals and traitors.🤬 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapes...
