Honestly? These ugly beasts should have never made it to the road for their unsightly look. Now they’re dangerous too.

Breaking News: A judge found that Elon Musk’s effort to shutter USAID most likely violated the Constitution, and ordered its operations partially restored.

30 years ago, my family arrived in the United States, a land of hope and opportunity. I'm fighting so everyone can have a real chance at the American dream. That includes making sure everyone has healthcare, stable housing, and a quality education.

This administration can’t erase women who fight for justice. Learn from surviving Filipino “Comfort Women.” who took to the streets & courts. Never giving up, never silenced, always speaking Truth 2 power. Especially to orange men riddled with fear. To the Lolas & all women warriors. Laban!

I’ve been boycotting, have you? And let me tell you, I love shopping at Target, but not like this. Been boycotting all of February numerous anti DEI businesses and especially the 28th. Join me.

#yourefired I love this story. Every fired federal worker should bring their resumes to their elected officials and demand a fix or hey, elected official, you’re fired!

I love my postal worker and the young ones she mentors. Not only is she a bright moment in our day, but the service she and USPS provides is essential. ✊🏾

Ironically, the U.S. Digital Service was launched a decade ago to make government programs more efficient. Now, rebranded as DOGE, Musk’s interlopers are only intent on doing their overlord’s bidding—firing staffers and gutting programs.

This is what democracy looks like. Yes, @joyannreid.bsky.social your show had value. You have value. We need voices like yours to interrogate the news.

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

Makes me ill to see MSNBC/NBC taking a knee and kissing that stubby finger’s ring. Boycott.

Writers: what if we gathered the testimonies of the victims of Trump’s latest season of YOU’RE FIRED and wrote, posted, streamed those testimonials at our elected officials’ local and DC offices? What if we demand they respond? And to the silence, chanted, YOU’RE FIRED! Young inspires us to report.

My ❤️ is full. UMiami alum & prize winning author Daisy Hernandez urged students, faculty & admin to use their skills to advocate in their field of interest: arts, med, policy. For democracy. For themselves. For each other. ❤️ community. Hope. Do your thing from where you are & resist. #kissingbug

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?
