Christiane Amanpour’s reaction to the Oval Office ambush has me shook. I feel like she’s seen it all. I think she knows this was staged because Trump and Vance don’t want peace unless Putin gets it all.

If you are represented by a Republican Senator or Congressman and are absolutely disgusted, repulsed and outraged by how Donald Trump and JD Vance just treated Zelensky at the White House, call them and let them know. 🚨(202) 224-3121🚨

There should be tens of thousands of Americans surrounding the White House right now, demanding support for Ukraine and rejection of Putin.

Democracies stand with Ukraine.

Dear President Zelensky, As it is likely that our paths will never cross in person, I could not let this day go by without trying to reach you here. I come to you humbly as an American citizen who is thoroughly and completely embarrassed of our leaders. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-preside...

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

The 24 Hour Economic Blackout is well underway. Spread the word. It’s only one day, we can do it! It will send a message that we are not OK with corporations bending the knee to the regime that worships money over all.

Today's the day!!!! The first 24hour economic blackout. Do not make any purchases on line or at big box stores, no gasoline. Do not use credit cards! Only essential food and medicines. We can do this. The next protest is March 7-14th Amazon boycott.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration houses key groups like the National Weather Service. Experts warn the consequences of employee cuts could be drastic.

Five former defense secretaries denounced President Trump’s firing last week of the Joint Chiefs chairman and several other senior military officials, saying that the officers were “fired for purely partisan reasons” and urging Congress to hold hearings.

If any of these are your representative get LOUD ☎️ USE 5Calls app ✏️ USE resist.bot Enter your zip code and each of these apps brings up your representative and sends/calls directly. And even provides prewritten scripts if you want them.

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.” I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

Gutting Alzheimer's research. First reported more than a week ago -- and as yet, this has not been undone. Republicans appear to have not said a word about it. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru... See also... newrepublic.com/article/1917... See also... www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

5 former Secretaries of Defense call on Congress to exercise oversight responsibility on Trump-Hegseth firing of senior military leaders: The "dismissals raise troubling questions about the administration’s desire to politicize the military and to remove legal constraints on the President’s power."

NEW: “Kennedy paused a multimillion dollar project to create a new Covid-19 vaccine in pill form on Tuesday, and the Food and Drug Administration canceled an advisory committee meeting on updating next season’s flu vaccine.” newrepublic.com/post/192059/...

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Another reason to call legislators in DC - Stay on them every day with something! It takes 6 months for pharmas to make the vaccines. This meeting was postponed last month and no idea if this time is a cancel or another postponement..

This news truly breaks my heart. We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line! abcnews.go.com/Health/1st-m...

I’m down for Al Sharpton’s boycott on Friday. If we want to be effective, we need to stop giving these people our money. Are you in?

This seems bad

If you feel this way, you're not along. And together, we're going to keep the Republic. Pass it on.

This is what courage looks like. While so many stay silent, these people took a stand. We need more of that—right now. 📌 21 civil service employees resigned from DOGE

Germany’s likely new chancellor Friedrich Merz: And for me, the absolute priority will be to strengthen Europe as quickly as possible so that we step by step to also truly achieve independence from the USA. I would not have believed that I would have to say something like this on TV...

2/19: MSNBC celebrates its NAACP Image Award and Joy Reid’s book Medgar & Myrlie. 2/22: Trump calls MSNBC a “threat to democracy” after NBCUniversal’s lawsuit settlement. 2/23: Joy Reid ( @joyannreid.bsky.social ) canceled. When Trump sent the heat, @MSNBC.com bent the knee—AGAIN!

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

USAID informed employees via email that it is terminating 2,000 workers and placing thousands of foreign service officers and other direct hires worldwide on paid leave, effective tonight.

I mean... it's weird... the word trump features in here... feels like there's a message for TFG youtu.be/mODJjkFp_hg?...

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

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

Regardless of how much coverage it gets, Trump aiming to install a military command that places loyalty to him above loyalty to the constitution needs to be a much bigger story.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

Current mood

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Your vote in November, for whatever reason you cast it—was loud. And if you regret that vote or if you don't consent to what you are seeing from this man and this Administration, your volume now is necessary too. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/trump-vote...

A must-read exposé from ProPublica reveals the devastating impact of Texas’ abortion ban. Sepsis rates have doubled, putting countless lives at risk. This isn’t just politics—it’s life or death. Sepsis can cause organ failure, brain damage, and deadly complications. No one should suffer like this.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

Here we go. Certain generals must be removed before any martial law plan is put into action—as Trump and Hegseth are worried there may still be some generals out there who support the Constitution rather than his proposed dictatorship. This is a political purge intended as a precursor to far more.
