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.

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that if you want people to stop calling your party a bunch of Nazis, then your party leaders should stop doing Nazi things like the Sieg Heil. Did you notsee this coming?

WOOHOO! 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….I’m sure everything will be perfectly fine 😬 www.newsweek.com/new-coronavi...

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublica’s analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

Feb. 28, buy only from small, independent businesses, not massive companies, especially avoiding Amazon, Walmart & Best Buy. Raise awareness of the enormous power of our collective action & set the stage for bigger future actions. #WeHaveThePower

I say good night. As I am here trying to support my loved one this beautiful quote is useful to remind them that happiness is in the now. I hope you enjoy the happiness in every moment. Good night. 🙏🏽🫶🏽

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes…

Knowledge is power…

You should be scared. Very scared.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

Instant block to anyone praising Mitch McConnell for voting against a few of Trump's picks. There's no one person more responsible for Trump getting back to the WH than McConnell. This hypocrite stood on the Senate floor & admitted Trump is wholly responsible for Jan 6—then refused to convict him.

It’s pretty wild to watch a governor in a wheelchair trying to take away accommodations for disabilities…

...they're eating the protections for the people who live there.

Imagine what Trump and Musk are doing that we DON’T know about. Of course we are in a full blown Constitutional crisis. If Republicans had an ounce of courage, they would’ve impeached and removed him already. We must never stop fighting. Onward.

Good advice ⬇️

Is it shocking that little X repeats how his father Elon Musk really feels about Trump?? 🤣🤣🤣 #ElonMusk youtu.be/g7XQgI4ZDL0?... via @YouTube

U.S. inflation is accelerating as the cost of groceries, gas and used cars rise, a disappointment for families and businesses struggling with higher costs.

Hey, here’s some of what @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did today 👋🏽

Promise: "I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One." Reality:

Monday thought:

Donald Trump tried to illegally shut down funding for programs that millions of people rely on. Community health centers, Head Start programs, and charities are still having trouble accessing funds. Meanwhile, the taxpayers are paying for Trump's trip to the Super Bowl.

Just saying…

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

I love football and the Superbowl. Was really looking forward to it. But a convicted rapist will be attending and getting a lot of attention. And the Chief's kicker is a very loud and proud homophobe who loves to call us faggots. So.....nah, not watching. You have fun with that.

You can’t buy love, but you can adopt it. It’s a great Caturday to visit a shelter near you and find your new best friend.

As governor of Illinois, I’ve made it my mission to make our state the best to call home including for our LGBTQ+ community. No matter who you are or who you love, everyone deserves dignity and equality. Hate has no home here.

Now more than ever.

Abandoned in the Middle of Clinical Trials, Because of a Trump Order The stop-work order on U.S.A.I.D.-funded research has left thousands of people with experimental drugs and devices in their bodies, with no access to monitoring or care. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/h...

We need a Marc Elias type legal team to intervene in cases where DOJ sides with the administration, rather than the Constitution and the rule of law. We need a team of avengers now, because DOJ serves Trump. Nobody is serving America.
