Equal rights for others does not mean less rights for you. It's not pie. - RBG

Cutting Medicaid will kill people. People like Allie. She has a bleeding disorder and requires regular blood transfusions. “Without it, I will die.” Read her story. Don’t look away. Pass it on.

"Nancy Kerrigan must mend the breach with Tonya Harding--or resign"

The latest news from Burlington, Vermont. 😄🇺🇦

Marco Rubio telling the truth in the past.

“Humanitarian aid should never be used as a tool of war.” Doctors Without Borders (MSF) says the Israeli decision to stop the entry of all humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip is “outrageous and will have devastating consequences”. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/66nsyl

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

So glad I escaped the real world for a bit today by going to the library. I got a pile of books and a Just dance game because why not.

AMANPOUR (with face in hands): “Never have I ever ever ever seen anything like it… the president and VP were taking all the Putin talking points.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGolFp-...

Winston Churchill visiting the White House in 1942. I wonder if anyone asked the wartime leader if he owned a suit, MAGA schmucks...

Per @chrisdjackson.bsky.social on another platform: “It took me 30 seconds to find at least ten postings from Zelensky directly thanking the United States for their support. There are many more. This is pure BS.”

Today is a great day to visit the library. Movies, games (video and board), tools, instruments, seeds, they have so much more than just books.

This is honestly inspiring. Be like George Dale.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

I need help. 3 National STEM Festival sponsors pulled funding because of the current climate. Please help. This is a life changing opportunity for kids that have worked so hard! www.gofundme.com/f/support-th...

Call your Senators tonight 202-224-3121!!!! Hands off of our Mediciad.

I love leaving voice mails for my senators where I say things like "the USPS is very important to our country" as if I'm helping a small child with a book report or describing our civilization to an alien

I’d rather be in a lab right now. But we’re here because the NIH grants that fund our research have been cut. RFK Jr. says he wants to make America healthy again - but how does he want to do that without our research?! - Annika Barber, @ruaaup-aft.bsky.social

McGovern: To the gentleman who just spoke from South Carolina, he may need reminder, maybe he could do a town hall in his district, 74,000 of his constituents receive coverage under the affordable care act. By supporting this resolution, he's betraying the..

BREAKING: The House GOP made it official: the SAVE Act is a top priority. But here's the thing: nearly 1 in 10 voting-age Americans can't easily prove their citizenship. This bill isn't about election integrity - it's about suppressing votes & maintaining power. #StopTheSAVEAct

Why am I NOT surprised to see that House Republicans are pushing ahead with their budget plan to cut TRILLIONS from the budget at the expense of American people? CUT Medicaid, CUT food programs for our seniors and children. They’re just looking out for their billionaire buddies.

A new Insta trend: workplaces (esp hospitals & care homes) in Germany show how they, how *we* all rely on migrants who work there, how they are part of this country, our friends, colleagues. We'd be poorer w/o them. They are appreciated. They are us. #GoodMorning, everyone [🎥 shortened; link below]

Yep this is the one, this is the first time baseball ripped my heart out. 💚🥺

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

Interesting and informative read on the DOGE job cuts and what they mean for public lands. kauainownews.com/2025/02/22/b...

URGENT: The House is set to vote tomorrow on whether to advance $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid — eviscerating essential programs that provide lifesaving services for people with disabilities, children, seniors, and more. Tell your representative now: Don't cut Medicaid.

Breaking News: Scientists from the University of the Basque Country have discovered a groundbreaking molecule, WIN55.212-2, that reverses early cognitive damage caused by Alzheimer’s disease.

Donald Trump replacing a black four-star general with a white three-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is everything MAGA claims they hate about DEI: giving a less qualified person the job based on their race, not their resume.

BREAKING: A MAGA bomb threat issued at the Principles First Summit in DC. I apologize for the language in it.

If you live in or around Kelseyville, CA, and you want Mike Thompson to know how you feel and what’s going through your head, see if you can attend his office hours on Thursday! This is absolutely incredible and now on top of asking for town halls I think we need to ask for this too from every rep!

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

No notes

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Happy #caturday to all that celebrate!

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

If you haven’t seen this yet, please do. Because this morning something awesome happened that I’m going to say more about soon…. Hint: Georgia…. Town hall. It’s happening…. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

Our friend Quince Mountain became the first openly trans musher in Iditarod history in 2020....but his race was halted midway through when the pandemic hit and it was no longer safe to continue. This year, he's going back to race again. Let's please support him below. <3:
