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

What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.

If you are willing to spend a few minutes watching one thing. This is it. Ezra Klein with a full breakdown of what is happening. www.instagram.com/reel/DGIsogC...

⚡️'No point trying to negotiate' with Putin, Yulia Navalnaya says. "Even if you decided to negotiate with Putin, just remember he will lie," Navalnaya, widow of late Russian dissident Alexei Navalny, said at the Munich Security Conference two days before the anniversary of her husband's death.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

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)

This is a recipe for disaster. 🤦‍♂️

🥲

Not exaggerating when I say that the path back is going to be built on people in positions of influence regaining their sense of self-respect. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

AUSA Hagan Scotten, former clerk for John Roberts, really put some mustard on his resignation letter.

👀 "If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me." -- AUSA Hagan Scotten, SDNY.

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Yeah. And the second, third, and fourth.

Starting think this is not beyond the realm of possibility.

BREAKING: Ranking Member Raskin demands Attorney General Bondi halt illegal intimidation campaign targeting the DOJ’s Public Integrity Office.

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

Dear @Doge If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing

This country is analogous to the worst group project you were ever assigned in school. Now we all fail, cause two didn't even study (but swore they knew best), one didn't do shit, and the remaining two were unable to fix everything the other three screwed up by the day you had to present.

We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

Americans are about to learn some economics.

BREAKING: David Hogg, a survivor of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting just been elected Vice Chair of the DNC. CONGRATS!

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

And join the ACLU! ✊🏼

Remember when he said he knew nothing about project 2025? #JoinTheACLU #Today #ACLU

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

I'm not an AI expert. But IMO, the biggest take away is that our biggest AI companies tried to make competition about how much money they could spend. Locking out others. Deepseek turned that upside down. Which could open the door to many smarter, more entrepreneurial competitors

"A ruling for the plaintiffs could mean employers and insurers reimposing copays and deductibles, or denying birth control coverage entirely, with patients on the hook for the full price." -- @susanrinkunas.com www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

One week and it feels like a fucking ETERNITY.

Per an NIH source: “Discussions with colleagues have suggested that if the universities all come together and raise hell about the delays to funding caused by not holding meetings, that might move the needle. From every state. There are well-funded universities in red states that will be impacted.”

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right? it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC. i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

It's late, just now catching up. Apologies if we're posting too much. With everything that's going on, it's hard to avoid. It's not possible to keep up on all the mail we get, so please be patient. We're putting out fires as fast as we can. Photo credit John McColgan

CNN is going to lose its single best anchor because it needs to show obedience to Trump. Shameful.

I have seen the future, and it looks a lot like this, except it also includes polio, measles, and bird flu. But don’t worry - RFK is going to take a break from infectious diseases… www.cjonline.com/story/news/p...
