In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Elon Musk is “exploiting vulnerabilities that are built into the nation’s technological systems, operating as what cybersecurity experts call an insider threat,” our columnist Zeynep Tufekci writes.

Next week marks a somber anniversary: three years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. For many of the millions of displaced Ukrainians, the path to safety was a treacherous one. This is the story of one young man’s escape from war-torn Ukraine.

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

US stocks dip amid concerns over tariffs and consumer belt-tightening

Democratic leaders need to be more like @jbpritzker.bsky.social.

This is the way back (2025): *an aroused/involved American people *effective lawsuits *wins in state/local elections *political class finds its footing *falling Republican polling numbers All are starting to happen.

After 43 days on strike, the Oregon Nurses Association has reached a TA with Providence Health! If approved, these healthcare professionals will have better wages and safer staffing—and they will be better able to improve patient care!

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

DOGE in practice: Disabled Army veteran who has 4 kids and did 3 tours overseas is fired from his job at Bronx VA hospital

A new bat coronavirus that has the capacity to spread to humans, similar to the one that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, has been discovered by a Chinese researcher. Good thing we are completely prepared this time. www.newsweek.com/new-coronavi...

And who they didn't like

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

Yes the Feb 28 economic boycott is real! The organization behind it is The People’s Union USA founded by @theonecalledjai.bsky.social Here is the website: theonecalledjai.com if you scroll to the bottom of the website, it explains what the 24 hour economic blackout entails . 1/2

This article about scientists switching from Twitter to Bluesky quotes me (and @trevorabranch.bsky.social and @carlbergstrom.com ) 🧪 #SciComm www.dailyuw.com/science/scie...

From The Daily's science desk: Scientists move to Bluesky, transitioning away from X and Meta platforms @whysharksmatter.bsky.social @trevorabranch.bsky.social and @carlbergstrom.com share their motivations behind switching platforms. www.dailyuw.com/science/scie...

If you are on #academicsky and aren’t following @trevorabranch.bsky.social @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and @carlbergstrom.com - you’re probably doing it wrong.

I'm thankful for those who have migrated to this platform to keep us informed! Thank you, #ScienceSky #MedSky

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Amanda Zurawski, one of the Texas women who nearly died due to the states abortion ban, has been named one of Time’s Women of the Year.

The stock market is now lower than it was when Biden left office

Maine Governor Janet Mills is today’s American hero.

Conigula said he’ll defund the entire state of Maine if they don’t do what he says. Gov Mills told him fuck off by saying, “I’ll see you in court.” Maine has the highest population of seniors at 22.94%. Holla! Susan Collins’ senate seat is up for grabs in 2026. Boot the pearl clutcher out!

Thank you, Governor Mills. That's the way to respond to that creep some call a president. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

DC police are mounting a criminal investigation of an alleged assault of a woman by GOP Rep. Cory Mills, who represents a district near Orlando. The incident started at a penthouse in a luxury DC apartment building. Mills, who’s married and has two kids, apparently had a fight with his girlfriend.

To Senator Susan Collins: The President of the United States just threatened your State. Time to choose sides. Are you of Maine? Who do you represent? There is no middle ground.

Proud to be from Maine

Another Governor with a Spine and a set of balls …. Much like Maine Gov Mills www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/c...

Janet Mills is a total bad ass. I love a strong Maine woman. Full support to her and everyone who has the courage to stand up to the rapist felon.

Well, turns out there’s another layer to his dubious background. According to independent journalist Jacob Silverman, Coristine is the grandson of Valery Martynov, a former KGB spy. Per Silverman’s research, Martynov was an officer in the technical espionage division… gizmodo.com/doge-staffer...

🚨We MUST Protect Medicaid from MASSIVE Republican Cuts🚨

💥 Apple is upholding its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Despite attack from right-wing anti-DEI shareholder activists -- the same anti-DEI group that targeted Costco. And just like Costco, look for Apple shareholders to tell anti-DEI activists to take a hike on Feb 25.

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

If you didn't know... • Exxon • Moulton/Coors • Walmart Have funded Heritage Foundation (#Project2025) for YEARS #Boycott

You know who never says “long live the king“? The king.

Worst jobs President in HISTORY!

This is really something

👀Newsy tidbit in today's Inside Elections: Keep an eye on Cait Conley in the highly competitive NY-17 (currently held by Mike Lawler). She's a West Point/MIT/Harvard grad with 9 years of Army special ops service who most recently worked cybersecurity for the Biden admin.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

If you're trying to figure out what to do right now, my advice is to just pick a thing that you think might be useful in some way, however small, and do it. Doing a thing leads you to doing another, bigger thing, and prepares you for that next thing.

Amanda Zurawski has been named one of TIME magazine’s Women of the Year. Amanda’s Story: Citing the state’s abortion laws, Texas doctors denied Amanda Zurawski emergency medical care when her water broke at only 18 weeks of pregnancy. It was September of 2021, and Amanda was miscarrying. Her…

Where is the DNC? Where are our Democratic national leaders? Why are we hearing more from Gov. Pritzker on a daily basis than any of them? (Side note: Thank you, thank you, thank you @govpritzker.illinois.gov for doing and saying all you’re done so far.) We’re with you. 💙

Illinois Governor Pritzker gets it! 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
