If you only watch one video today, let it be this one. And since Little Marco doesn’t want us to remember this, please repost it so others can see what a raging hypocrite he is. @calltoactivism.bsky.social

Several Arab nations and rights organisations have condemned Israel’s decision to halt aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip, calling it a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement and international law by using starvation as a weapon.

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

Okay, nerds, buckle in! It's time for some SCIENCE. Back in the late 1960s, a scientist got some government funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Atomic Energy Commission to look for interesting bacteria living in extreme environments. 1/x

Thousands in the US chanting "Zelenskyy is a hero" outside of Nazi Tesla Dealership in Manhattan as #3E protesters occupy the inside. (📹 @scootercasterny.bsky.social ) #3E #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy #TeslaTakeOver #StandWithUkraine

Happening now: Rally for Ukraine in D.C., 2pm - 5pm. #3E #USprotest #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity #StandWithUkraine

If Republicans make massive cuts to Medicaid, it will impact all aspects of our health care system. Millions of kids will lose coverage, hospital and insurance rates will soar and nursing homes will shut down. All this in order to give huge tax breaks to billionaires.  NO CUTS TO MEDICAID.

If a US military coup isn’t being planned now, it should strongly be considered.

❗️When America has your back: The Economist on the background of recent events

During his first month in office, the Trump administration deported thousands of undocumented immigrants, often to their country of origin but sometimes to third countries. Here’s why some third countries are accepting deportees from the US ⤵️ aje.io/dh5ehp

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

Just saying.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

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

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

The rumors are true: The proposed SAVE Act, now considered a priority for Republicans in the House, will make it harder, if not practically impossible, for millions of women to vote.

REMEMBER: THIS Friday, February 28. NOT 1 PENNY SPENT. We can DO this. I'm IN, are YOU?

CARTOON OF THE DAY

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.

STATEMENT: “This Is The Move Of A Weak And Insecure Tyrant, Not A Strong Commander-in-Chief”

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

Works as advertised

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor reports that the terrible health conditions in which many Palestinians were released from Israeli prisons indicate a pattern of systematic torture and abuse until the very last moments. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/ak1znz

At the ophthalmologist for a follow up appointment to see if the shingles virus has finished attacking my right eye. This is not an appointment anyone wants to have. Get the f*cking vaccine before RFK and his band of dipshits get rid of it

I’m having great difficulty right now seeing how our political system doesn’t devolve into violence.

ATTN HHS EMPLOYEES: Firing notices are going out. I am in receipt of an email saying they will revoke your access as soon as you read the email that you've been fired.

This article is both shocking and terrifying, particularly now that we have an actual idiot in charge of the DOD www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Do NOT open your door for any authority unless they have a warrant — from a court, signed by a judge. NO warrant, NO entry. If they arrest you, you ALWAYS have the right to remain silent, even if they don’t read you any rights. The ONLY thing to say: “I want a lawyer.”

Spotted in New York. #3E

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

My 93 year old MIL is visiting from Ohiostan. She has consumed Fox propaganda for years. Today was her FAFO moment when her own son told her if she still believes anything Trump says is true, she is an absolute idiot. She sat in stunned silence then went to her room. Pretty sure her visit is over

Did not watch the Superbowl, but very happy the Eagles won. Can the team from KC just go away now?

I’m old enough to remember when we had 3 branches of government. Forget checks and balances. I guess we are a Muskocracy now.

I don’t believe an oligarch is going to “save” us from other oligarchs out of the goodness of his/her heart. This smacks like a covert privatization of Medicare/Medicaid bait and switch but I will defer those with much more information than I
