Great job, 🤡 administration. You’ve managed to turn (already) worldwide hero, Zelenskyy, into a worldwide martyr. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

People are losing their lives and livelihoods and this psychopath and his technobro puppeteer are cracking jokes…

BREAKING: Mexican President Sheinbaum argues that if cartels are deemed terrorist orgs, then the suppliers of weapons—over 74% of which come FROM the U.S.—should ALSO face accountability for enabling terrorism. As a result, Mexico is expanding its lawsuit targeting U.S gun manufacturers. 🇲🇽

This is a terrible move @msnbc.com. Terrible. The @joy.msnbc.com was a critical part of the evening line-up and @joyannreid.bsky.social brings trenchant political analysis that no one else in the evening line-up has brought. I urge you to reconsider this. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/b...

It is a test. A test that determines whether you work for the federal government, and your agency/department, or whether you work for Elon Musk. It is up to you whether you surrender your rights as civil servants, your pride, and your dignity. Once you do, he’ll be back for more.

Sign of the day…#DefendDemocracy

Be sure to scroll through this roundup of town halls. People are ticked off and getting loud about it.

Now THIS is how you negotiate AND prove that Trump is full of Putin’s sh*t, all at once.

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

Proud Boy Leader Enrique Tarrio chasing down and harassing Michael Fanone. Tarrio is proof that dumb is dangerous. These are the “great people” that Trump pardoned. Fanone: “You’re a traitor to this country.” 🎯 (1/2)

Elon doesn't seem to understand how the federal government works.

The reality of litigation challenging the Trump administration is that it isn’t all going to win. That’s OK. I explain at Law Dork:

Letter from congress that is incredibly alarming. Looks like #DOGE got access to #nasa and they use the word ominous. democrats-science.house.gov/imo/media/do...

This is insane. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

NEW: Pretty revealing look into what's going on inside the federal government tonight. On one Veterans Affairs department email, recipients are instructed to not reply to the DOGE/Musk threat email "until leadership can validate the authenticity and intent" of the email.

Strong letter from Rep. Gerry Connolly (ranking Dem on House Oversight Committee) to acting OPM Director Chuck Ezell re: 5 bullets email. Calls it “illegal, reckless, and yet another example of the cruel and arbitrary chaos Mr. Musk” has inflicted. Says he must clarify non-response≠resignation.

"Immigrants didn't steal my job. The president did."

Columbus, Ohio showed up for Ukraine and against impunity despite the freezing temperatures. ( 📷 @Headlamp666) #3E #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity #USprotests #StandWithUkraine

This is the House Republican budget plan that Donald Trump endorsed. Trickle up economics.

Thousands at the Lincoln memorial standing up for Ukraine, proving Trump doesn't speak for all the US with his treason. #3E #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity #USprotests #DCprotests #StandWithUkraine

Investigate your bio, bro

Minnesota Senator Tina Smith bringing the thunder 🔥

WATCH all 4 parts of Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman's award. We need to heed her words. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty"

This is GOP Rep. Kevin Hern, who represents #OK01, a district that he won with 60% of the vote in November. Look at the FEAR on his face as he speaks to his constituents. Something is happening, folks.

Delicious.

Hundreds gathered downtown Saturday, waving Ukrainian flags and carrying signs that read “Ukraine is not for sale” and “Putin the war criminal” to mark three years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

A quick act of resistance against this nonsense, as well as a show of solidarity with our fellow Americans who are federal civil service workers, is to send five things you accomplished this last week to [email protected] …and go.

Don't lose this in all the noise. Trump abandoned Americans in hostile areas for no other reason than doing their jobs. Now they have 30 days to move countries and find new homes, jobs, schools. Go to @altusaid.bsky.social and read the stories. Then call your reps. This betrayal cannot be tolerated

Why are women the ones who always stand up to Trump & his admin? Cause moms are used to being the ones who put little boys in their place.

Make sure you know 3,200 irl people in cold, snowy Nebraska NIGHT attended @sanders.senate.gov Bernie Sanders talk last night and we were one on the 190,000 who tuned into the livestream. THAT BERNIE DREW A CROWD OF ALMOST QUARTER OF A MILLION VOTERS LAST NIGHT SHOULD BE THE ONLY NEWS

SCOOP: New Social Security chief was being investigated for leaking data to DOGE when Musk team tapped him. Sr officials placed him on paid leave while probing whether he may have violated privacy & tax laws, WaPo's Lisa Rein reports. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

It may not seem like much but we think putting up billboards matters. Here are four of the five up now (in Pennsylvania) Chip in. maddogpac.com/products/qui...

A lesson in how claims of meritocracy as justification for opposing DEI are often cover for the demand that we return to a system of preference for white men - whatever their qualifications. Fire a qualified Black man. Hire a statutorily unqualified white man. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Republican veteran voter not buying their Republican representative who is trying to defend DOGE. Oklahoma edition.

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

Go AZ! #TeslaTakedown

Decades of sacrifice and work by generations of men and women across the globe up in smoke. Truly tragic. Tens of millions of American voters squandered the legacy of their parents and grandparents for the thrill of racism and “owning the libs.”

Say what now?

Alabama Republicans want to require all K-12 PUBLIC schools to recite a Judeo-Christian prayer each morning after the Pledge of Allegiance. If they don’t, they will lose twenty-five percent of their state funding. 𝙏𝙬𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙮-𝙛𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙩. This is extortion and religious indoctrination.

Another Wisconsin Republican - the oafish Glenn Grothman of #WI06 who won his district with 60% of the vote in November - was greeted with boos and yells from an overflow crowd. Things are happening. www.wpr.org/news/glenn-g...

Good. Keep making noise. www.wpr.org/news/glenn-g...

This is the way

Famous Chicago buildings were turned into hats in a new Chicago Architecture Center exhibit.

I fucked up someone’s pronouns yesterday (no excuse, I fucked up) and a poster kindly reminded me of the correct ones. Listen. You can correct me on that anytime. Correct me on my birthday. Correct me on my deathbed. Because despite what terrible people say, your identity MATTERS.
