The week in review:

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

Tom Homan is publicly threatening the City of Boston. He says he will rain hellfire on it. It sure worked out well the *last* time an authoritarian government threatened Boston.

BREAKING: MASSIVE Ukraine rally in Washington, D.C. right now. Americans care even if Trump doesn’t.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Department of Justice has sent a letter to Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia for criticizing Elon Musk is a form of censorship. DOJ said they might prosecute Garcia. Whoa! That’s how Hitler did it. Think Musk is untouchable? Wrong! Musk is an actual Nazi. 14 words. Salute. Nazification. Look it up.

That’s exactly what Elon Musk is doing now. Remember this! Wake up!!!

Frederick Douglass’ book. His writings were absolutely stunning and powerful. Washington, DC. #frederick #frederickdouglass #blackhistorymonth

I had the greatest honor to visit Frederick Douglass’ house in Washington, D.C.—Today was the day he died in 1895. His great contributions are impossible to replace. #frederick #frederickdouglass #blackhistory #blackhistorymonth

Pulling out the same type of device on a traffic stop that was used to beat police officers on Jan 6 is probably not the best plan.

Miles and Tigger are waiting for their favorite food… #cats

This makes so much sense

As Trump makes concessions to Russia, he is showing weakness on a level unprecedented in modern US history. His position is so weak that it is unlikely to convince anyone. Trump is a sheep in wolf’s clothing. The wolves can tell the difference "The Weak Strongman" snyder.substack.com/p/the-weak-s...

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

Love Zappa or hate him, he was right about this:

BREAKING: New York Governor Kathy Hochul will meet with NYC leaders on Tuesday to discuss a “path forward” that may lead to Mayor Eric Adams’ removal from office. Hochul is the sole official in the state of New York that has the power to boot Adams from his post. New York City Public…

While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent. SAY NO TO OLIGARCHY.

In 1935, Democratic President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law. And almost 90 years later, Social Security has never missed a single payment! #PresidentsDay

We, the real Americans stand with Germany: Nazi-loving Americans has no place in America.

Do not vote Chris Haulmark to become a CEO for National Association of the Deaf. He is a vigilante hunter.

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

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)

Public education is the backbone of American democracy. In the richest country in the history of the world, we cannot abandon our teachers and our public schools.

How can I show you my appreciation today? Valentine's Day isn't just for romantics. It's for sharing love with our friends, family, pets and planet! And so I wanted to give you something for free. Something to make your day a little brighter. Bigger hugs!!!!

“Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves”—Abraham Lincoln Happy birthday, President Abe! Lincoln was damn good wrestler—300 wins, one loss. He was honored into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. A true peacemaker and the Freedom Fighter, Frederick Douglass. #Lincoln

To Ukraine with Love: I stand with Ukrainians! Putin/Trump: Those guys are Fascist loving people. Shame on them. Moscow invited Trump over the phone call with Putin. Hitler meets Hitler. #love #Ukraine

Revolt against the Fascists before it's too late. If we don't stand up NOW, we might not have a VOICE in the FUTURE!

February is National Library Lovers Month. Gotta love libraries!

I wrote this three years ago— I am tremendously saddened by the antisemitic attacks of Ye (Kayne West). Ye has opened floodgates of hate, anger, sadness, and dehumanization throughout society. Three years later, Ye takes back apology and calls himself a Hitler lover. medium.com/@thelasthicc...

Trump/MAGA voters are complying with Genocide by weaponizing U.S.A.I.D. is a winning formula for human cruelty. No human beings deserves to die from forced starvation. Millions and Millions of people will die. Global Genocide is evil. My bicycle helmet: Darfur has been in my heart since 2006.

No one voted to cut Social Security. No one voted to cut Medicare. No one voted to cut Medicaid. NO ONE VOTED FOR ELON MUSK.

This guy…. What a D bag. Harry is awesome
