🤔 Sanders is on fire.

“This shift, which has dramatically changed in the last 20 years, is due to corporate-produced risk factors,” said @traceywoodruff.bsky.social insideclimatenews.org/news/1902202...

Elon Musk is paid TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to be the CEO of Tesla. What did Elon get done last week for Tesla?

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well. His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel. Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

Love to see it!

Fundamentally stupid. www.newscientist.com/article/2469...

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

There are 3 special elections coming up and those 3 seats are the keys to stopping the Congressional Republicans doing Trump & Musk’s evil bidding. We need just 1 seat to block them, 2 seats to stop them, and with all 3 we can FLIP THE HOUSE. Join us!! Monday 2/24 @7:30 EST. 👇👇 mobilize.us/s/Y9NrBb

This. Show up, volunteer, donate, learn. Connect. This is how we move ahead.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Oh please. They take out a four star general with four years of experience and replace them with a white military man who does not have that needed skills? And no white officers are fired. 1/

This is what we all need to do. And organize, donate to independent, journalism, and support groups like SURJ.org A volunteer voting advocacy group in many states.

The AP's TRO motion against White House press staff also includes some interesting history about the WH's century-old press pool. The AP was one of the founding members of the pool. Until now, there's never been an attempt to ban an entire news org from the pool. drive.google.com/file/d/1_hL_...

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

For the first weeks, Americans seemed frozen, expecting institutions to do something. Americans were used to “checks and balances” and “guardrails” working. That didn’t happen. People realized that they had to take matters into their own hands. 👇

just like at Twitter but this time it's ppl working on bird flu, nuclear security, the Veterans Crisis Hotline, and the Indian Health Service www.npr.org/2025/02/21/n...

They continue to tell this debunked lie 🤥 for a reason: so when they cut social security to pave the way for their tax cuts for the rich you think they had an actual reason to do it.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

To be fair. In project 2025 they did say they were going to do it. And Trump did say that the enemy within is worse than the enemy without. But like it’s so frustrating that many people just took the Fox News silo propaganda, which mentioned none of that 1/

And it’s theater. And it’s illegal.

Alina Habba, who is ostensibly a lawyer, claims on Fox & Friends that Trump "made the law" with his executive orders (executive orders are not laws -- only Congress can make laws)

Bernie is still the bomb!

That’s the point. If they can strangle the universities, they can strangle critical thought and analysis.

Hope to see my fellow Tennesseans there! #StandUpForScience2025 standupforscience2025.org/nashville-tn/

They are Queen’s ( borough) mafiosi.

Basically, he’s just a meat puppet for the dictators, and the billionaire Bros, who just want to take over more power and money than they already had. They’re all extremely damaged people who have no Morreale or empathic substance. But he’s a dottering, depraved, mendacious and psychopathic liar.

"This is a vast project of enforced re-education by a colonial power that wants to wipe away history as though clearing a computer disk, and reprogram a population through barrages of propaganda at the barrel of a gun" From @peterpomerantsev.bsky.social, on occupied Ukraine econ.st/41CVD4d

Side note: medical bankruptcy rate in the USA is around 500000. *PER YEAR* (This is when you can’t pay your medical bills and they kneecap you irreversibly and unceremoniously)

Can’t find the post, but it was perfect. The fact that a four star general with a stellar record is sacked simply because he’s black and replaced by an obviously unqualified white man is the exact reason that DEI is needed!

WATCH: “When will you stand up to them and say that is enough?” WISCONSIN Republicans Grothman & Fitzgerald run into tough town hall crowds also 👇🏽👀

Yeah, the concept of putting corporate Raiders in charge of the government which is supposed to benefit. All citizens is basically like having the fox guard the henhouse. Joy is a UPS executive, of course he’s going to sabotage USPS.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

Some actual good news, for now, Montana lawmakers overwhelmingly rejected the proposed ban on mRNA vaccines. 🩺 🛟
