"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary... "Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

I was taught in school to recognize fascism, but not what to do about it.

@mattgaetz4head.bsky.social do your thing

The move puts the security and integrity of elections in the U.S. — especially at the state level, where local election officials rely on CISA resources to securely run elections — at risk. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Elon Musk is a murderer.

Nice to see Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, taking time out of his busy Project 2025 schedule to spend some time with leaders of the European far-right in Madrid at the weekend www.politico.eu/article/look...

On Aaron Swartz: “He stood for freedom of access to information, especially for scientific research — things the public had already paid for.” - Lisa Rein, co-founder of @creativecommons.bsky.social sfstandard.com/2025/02/08/a...

A hot mic picked up Trudeau admitting to “serious people“ – business leaders – that Trump is serious about stealing Canada’s resources: “Mr. Trump has it in mind that the easiest way to do it is absorbing our country and it is a real thing." www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7452748 #cdnpoli

"Goodbye, Russia. Goodbye, Lenin," said Lithuania's President Gitanas Nausėda after the Baltic states disconnected from Russia's energy system. "This is a historic moment, marking the end of a long journey. We've achieved full energy independence. The era of pressure and blackmail is over."

This is why Republicans manipulated Kavanaugh and Barrett's nominations & installation. What we are witnessing is the endgame of a 50 yr strategy in the making. Rove’s quest for a permanent Republican majority couldn’t happen in free & fair elections where every vote is equal. (read on)

I'm exhausted. I can't believe we have Democratic politicians posting all over the place about how the tariffs will affect us. Saying they want to hear from us. La-la-la never mind that Musk is doing God only know what in U.S computer systems. Our security is compromised but will you miss tequila?

you better be ready to crush Nazi skulls like the resist lib ladies on threads are

A few weeks ago I had a chance to interview Ken Martin, about his commitment to have the DNC fight for voting rights. His answer gives me hope that we will again see the DNC take a leadership role in the fight for democracy. youtu.be/_vbbvO_fx0Y

Did Musk, like, make a bet with his billionaire buddies on how many times he could throw up a sieg heil and get away with it? Because it feels like he’s testing the Trump base and he was right… they don’t give a fuck that he’s casually throwing up Nazi salutes. Crazy

I didn’t realize until it was too late that I was watching a woman get burned to death via a video the KamallaDreams account posted. Totally fucked up and shame on whoever is running that account.

So Trump plans to annex Canada, retake the Panama Canal, invade Mexico, buy Greenland and retreat from NATO… 🤔 Seems like Trump thinks he’s trading Europe to Putin for the rest of North America.

Insane article. The vast majority of this increase is because we were exposed to burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s our generation’s agent orange. As a burn pit veteran myself, the economist is absolutely wrong here. My guess is there were no burn pit vets on the board that wrote this

Don’t forget. Trump told the press he would release the Epstein files. But only PART of them. This is what the GOP does. They cherry pick shit like FBI files and Epstein files and Twitter files and the Bible, and use it to manipulate the truth. There will be a LOT of this over the next four years.

Elders are also protesting, despite the violence of the Moscow backed government and the risk of mass arrests. The younger protestors are shielding them from the water cannons and rubber bullets. All of Georgia remains defiant. #GeorgiaProtests

"World War 3 has begun." "What has been expected for so long has already begun. But I’d like to say that God Himself gives a chance, not only to Ukraine, but also to the whole world, that we still have time to draw the right conclusions." - Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Ukraine ambassador to UK.

What a strange headline for a story that notes: 1. 2,169 ballots were rejected for no ID. 2. "The voter ID law disproportionately hindered Democrats." 3. "The evidence overwhelmingly shows" that fraud "is essentially nonexistent." 4. The state Supreme Court race was decided by only 625 votes.

Kyiv tonight 1000 candles for 1000 days of resistance, to honor the heroes of Ukraine 📷 @maria_avdv
