Sound familiar? THE SHEEP STATE.

No one else thinks its weird that if a Cuban touches American soil they are granted citizenship, but if a Venezuelan shows up they are hunted down like dogs? Both are fleeing communist dictatorships.

How to replace Chuck Schumer as leader.

Thousands of Union members hit the streets of NYC today to offer some solutions to our current problems.

“The energy is still there, the leadership is not. What I’m hearing from people all over the country in the last 24-48 hours, they are flabbergasted and they are furious.” - @leahgreenberg.bsky.social on Schumer’s surrender and the Democrats who aren’t listening to their constituents

"The abuse of the word 'antisemitism' is meant to generate a sense of plausibility, confuse opposition, and create more space for the actual phenomenon of antisemitism. And this misdirection is an integral part of the effort to replace a constitutional order with an authoritarian one."

🧵 The passage of this dangerous Republican funding bill is a travesty. The ongoing administrative coup led by Donald Trump and Elon Musk is a constitutional crisis. The authoritarians stripping away our rights and trying to loot the government to enrich the billionaires are a five-alarm fire.

Predictably, the Russian reaction to the Ukrainian unconditional ceasefire offer is that Russia has a condition: that Ukraine concede its sovereignty to Russia. Now Russia will try to get the Americans to do for them things they cannot do for themselves.

When you March with your union the cops close the streets for you (instead of beating you up). #unionproud #psc #cuny

Today was a spectacular display of cowardice from Chuck Schumer. It’s time for him to step down. Our democracy, our climate, and our families can’t afford even another month of this BS. Our full statement:

Our @ezralevin.bsky.social will join @maddow.msnbc.com in a little bit to discuss today’s vote on the extreme MAGA spending bill, Schumer’s surrender, and what Democrats should do next. Tune in on @msnbc.com.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Definitely don't take 30 seconds to use this simple tool to send an email to every Democratic Senator urging them to call for new leadership.

I’ve done this twice today. You can too. The second time, since I already had the number and knew what to say, took my 57 seconds. I timed it.

Call your representatives and ask them to make a public statement calling for Chuck Schumer to resign from his leadership position.

Call your Senators!

It would be absolutely inexcusable for any Senate Democrat to vote to advance the extreme MAGA spending bill. Democrats cannot cave and give Trump more power to dismantle the federal government. Call your senators now: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Or email: act.indivisible.org/sign/urge-de...

Republicans are using the threat of a shutdown to try to ram through an extreme bill that threatens Social Security, cuts important programs, and gives Trump and Musk even MORE latitude to dismantle the federal government. Senate Democrats must hold the line, and they need to hear from you ASAP. 👇

AOC on senate Dems caving and backing the CR: “A wide sense of betrayal.”

If your leading a revolt against the group you purport to lead maybe its time to resign your leadership position. #chuck #chuck

I’m sick to death of people saying we’re “descending” into fascism. The fascism is ALREADY here. THIS IS WHAT IF FEELS LIKE. And if you’re not feeling it, it’s probably because you’re one of the “good Germans.” @michaelharriot.bsky.social explains

Tell your Democratic senators not to join Schumer’s surrender: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Live coverage of the the Trump team negotiating with the Russians. #putinisnotyourfriend #standwithukraine #diehard

I do Costco anyway

I really wish people would care about Trump using Pinochet's tactics to disappear people for speaking their mind.

"In a town with just over 1,000 residents, hundreds of people packed Belmont's Community Building Saturday for a town hall hosted by Democratic Rep. Mark Pocan. The building was filled to capacity with people even waiting outside and peeking through the windows..." www.wkow.com/news/politic...

Two weeks ago, several women formed a new group called the Cincinnati Womens Advocacy Group. Today, they hosted their first protest at Cincinnati’s Fountain Square. At least 300 people joined them! Keep going….

Can Elon Musk list 5 things he did at SpaceX last week? Maybe he spend more time there. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/08/s...

Tom Friedman on point here, though he understated the case. Either Trump is the worse negotiator in all the universes of truth and fiction, or he is beginning an alliance with Russia with a joint attempt to subjugate Ukraine (and then much else). www.nytimes.com/2025/03/04/o...

I am still waiting for that list of 5 things Elon did at SpaceX this week.

@jonlovett.bsky.social look into the political science writing on “the dual game”. That mean’s organizing to to fight and win power within the logic of the authoritarian system; while at this time fighting to democratize. All just to say, they walk and chew gum at the same time.

Go to the next protest you can.

Do these people understand how demoralizing it is FOR THEIR OWN FUCKING VOTERS for them to sit here like punks like this???

Things I learned as a kindergartener: the KGB is bad and wants to destroy America. #standwithukraine

Things I learned in kindergarten: bullies are weak, not strong.

The attempted mugging of a visiting president was about the world war that Musk, Trump, and Vance have chosen. If we attend to what Vance and Trump said yesterday, we can work our way to the unreason of American policy, and to the chaos that will follow. snyder.substack.com/p/the-war-tr...

Morris National Historic Park is an important part of our historical legacy and makes visceral the sacrifices Washington and his troops made for democracy. I hopeI hope they keep getting funding to clean the bathroom. Seems like the least we can do.
