I've been seeing lots of super compelling videos of park rangers and federal lawyers and other federal workers telling their stories. Talking about what they did at their job, how it helped the American people, and why they want to keep doing those jobs. This is the way.

this is what resistance is going to look like. it will be everywhere. it will feel like it isn't working. it will be confusing & frustrating & freeing & joyful and it will feel momentumless until it has momentum. It will not go in a straight line. You're doing it. You really are. Keep going.

I know itā€™s often been said before but it never ceases to amaze me that Americans were living in domestic peacetime, with falling violent crime rates, steady GDP growth, and the longest-running democracy in history, and a slight plurality wanted to be oppressed so bad they elected someone to do it

Protests are taking place all over the country tonight against cuts to vital federal services. Here in Washington, people are marching to SpaceXā€™s offices demanding Musk be ousted from the government.

The Tenants is on the CW app! Snoop, Rose Byrne, Aldis Hodge and the second-to-last movie to shoot at the very haunted and full of cats Ambassador Hotelā€¦ . www.imdb.com/title/tt0429...

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russiaā€™s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraineā€™s voice is heard on the world stage.

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislationā€¦ to increase your bank fees.

Please letā€™s stop being shocked and figure out how to dismantle this agenda.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Congressman Raskin correctly points out that the independent inspector generals of their respective departments look for fraud. Why did Trump fire them. Who is going to look at Elon Muskā€™s millions in federal contracts? www.cbsnews.com/news/jamie-r...

Thereā€™s a great Green Book exhibition at the MLK Library until March 2. And you can get a coffee and a brownie for $3! at Marianneā€™s just off the library lobby!

this is just to say i have forgotten to generate the share holder value which you were probably expecting of me forgive me i was caught up in dread so existential and so deep

we should be able to turn back time, Cher if you agree

So so so true

The great stitch-up begins in Riyadh today, as the US government seeks to hand eastern Ukraine, bound and gagged, to Putin. This, as Trump knows and wants, will encourage Putin to threaten and destabilise the rest of Europe. *Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.*

Agreed. This was a timely performance.

They should stay. ADAMS should go. Is there a reason Hochul hasnā€™t removed him yet?

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on Presidentā€™s Day. ā€œHey Congress, grow a spine,ā€ they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

Sometimes I think about how there are way way way more of us than them.

Is watching The Substance on Valentineā€™s wrong or so wrong itā€™s right?

I feel strongly that the US left needs to get a shadow government in place STAT, if only to provide some basic clearinghouses for information and resources previously provided by the government departments that are being decimated. National, state, and local levels, fronted byā€¦ (1/2)

I must have missed this one. "All US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention researchers have been instructed to remove references to, or mentions of, the following terms: ā€œGender, transgender, pregnant person, pregnant people...
