It is one thing to watch a dictator grab power. It is another to hand it to him. I’m headed to the Senate floor now. To cast an emphatic “no.”

It was a risk to primary Sinema in a rough year for Democrats, but Gallego is such an excellent improvement on her bullshit. Very glad to have him in the Senate.

@schumer.senate.gov You are wrong. Vote No on Cloture. Vote no on the CR. This is a Trump Republican shutdown. Not one Democrat I’ve spoken with supports letting Republicans destroy the government, steal our data, layoff hundreds of thousands of workers, pollute our air, and ruin our economy.

@whitehouse.senate.gov Please vote no on the CR. Stand up to Trump and Musk. Don’t let dark money run our government.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Lawrence O’Donnell on fire tonight. Rightfully calling out Trump for his anti semitic remarks regarding Chuck Schumer. And calling out the White House press corps for not challenging Trump on his hateful comments.

The Acting Commissioner acknowledges the perils facing Social Security and warns. “I dont want the system to collapse.” link.propublica.net/view/67aa89e...

Yep, Trump’s a genius.

Canada's Liberal Party has elected Mark Carney as its new leader, meaning he will soon replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the nation's top office following Trudeau's announcement January that he would be stepping down.

In June 2023, I asked Rep Jamie Raskin if he could meet with me. People in his district had concerns about Medicaid to share with him. He was undergoing cancer treatment at the time & Rep Raskin took the meeting. SEVERAL members have EMERGED as leaders AGAINST AUTHORITARIANISM & Jamie Raskin is 1!🙏

One year ago, I made this meme with my daughter in mind. What could have been… #BloodySunday

UCLAWBB BIG Ten tournament champs. So proud of this team!

UCLAWBB. BIG Ten Tournament Champs!

Pictures from todays international women’s Day rally in Indianapolis. The first poster was the one I carried and everyone seemed to really like it. #MomSky #IWD2025 #Indianapolis #50501

UCLAWBB up 13-5 over OSU. #Big10

Protesters marching in Indianapolis. People are sick and tired of Trump.

In 6 short weeks Trump has turned a stable, growing economy into a wrecking ball for American families. Economic uncertainty, rising prices, tariffs, deportations and labor shortages, and job losses. Listen to Robert Kaplan, Vice Chairman at Goldman Sachs and fmr President of the Dallas Fed.

Nasdaq down 8.5% in last three months. #Trumpselloff #tariffs. #federaljobcuts #massdeportations #ElonMusk

On CNBC, Commerce Secretary Lutnick said factories that build cars move to Canada because there aren’t unions “in those locations.”How can the Commerce Sec be so misinformed? Hasn’t he heard of the Cdn Autoworkers Union? Does he not know that only 16% of US auto and auto parts workers are unionized?

Just booked the final three nights of my vacation in Quebec this summer. Looking forward to supporting my friends in Canada and spending more time in your great country. I apologize in advance for my wretched French.

25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico. According to Commerce Secretary Lutnick, Canada and Mexico are now directly responsible for fentanyl deaths in the US. Mexico and Canada now must hold Trump responsible for every gun death in their countries.

Dow down almost 4% in last 3 months. Dump Trump.

This is like day 42 of the Trump Administration and still no eggs? Meanwhile, Trump was at Mar-a-Lago this weekend playing golf. This as 62% of Americans in the most recent CBS YouGov poll say prices have been going up during the last few weeks.

Sadly, it’s time to revive this 2017 TIME cover.

Fans lining up for UCLA vs USC. Women’s basketball rules in LA. Let’s go UCLAWBB!

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

Yes

I stand with Ukraine. I stand with Zelensky.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

HANG IT IN THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF CANADA!!!!

"In response to the threats of 🇺🇸 tariffs, I directed staff to create and launch a #BuyCanadian webpage, a comprehensive resource designed to empower Burlingtonians to support 🇨🇦ian businesses and workers. I am proud to share the website is now live!" www.burlington.ca/en/business-... #Ontario 🇨🇦

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

I Stand With Ukraine 🇺🇦

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Hockey pics that go hard

Dear third-party voters, you’ve been awfully quiet. What’s up? What’s the game plan for the next 3 years and 11 months? Asking for 75,017,626 friends who did the right thing because we wanted to avoid all of this shit!!!

This is true. @bsky.app is the app of the people. We may not all agree. We may not even all like each other. But we can engage and disagree and agree with our hate That makes the platform the future of social media

“Now that I think about it, he [Pierre Poilievre] reminds me a lot of Ted Cruz.” That’s it. That’s exactly it. Now that I see it, I’m never going to be able to unsee it.

Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, just 11 years old, “took her own life in Texas after she was tormented by classmates who threatened to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities and have her family deported from the US, her grieving parents have said.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
