Morning from Kyiv! I want to start this Saturday with a song ‘’How cannot I love you, Kyiv of mine?’ A familiar to you gentleman plays it. The video is from the last Sunday, but it suits my mood perfectly.

Federal employees, Hold the line! Do not resign! Make them fire us. Make them lay us off. Tell Elon and DOGE to fork off. #ForkoffElon #DoNotResign

Bodega cats, you always get me...♥️

It would be nice, #WashingtonPost if you credited Rep. Jamie Raskin for being in this photo, let alone in the article, let alone at the demonstration. No mention of him in the article. 🤷‍♀️ www.washingtonpost.com/business/202... #DemocracyParty #DOGE #HHS #UAW #Sciencesaves.

Sweet...

I'm mostly a vegan and yet I still find this compelling 🤔

This makes me so sad. It's a no-brainer--Manatees are cool, park rangers are cool, the environment...is COOL! These Trump minions are horrible. #dumptrumpagain #thecrueltyisthepoint #manatees

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Wait you grafted my cat's paws on yours 😨!

This... #nokings #resist www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Yes! These days on waking up, I feel like I need an IV of espresso pronto instead of the usual latte. 😐🫢🤪

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

Just now picking up my daughter’s Claudia’s Corgi, Gracie, from her spaying procedure from Friendship Animal Hospital in northwest DC. It turns out they are doing something amazing for people victimized by the insane government purges 👉

Raise your hand 🖐️ and Repost if you still support President Zelenskyy and the brave people of Ukraine! 🇺🇦 I want all of my 168K friends to follow YOU! 💙 Like ❤️ and repost 🔄 and you will get MORE followers! 🚀 Who is with me? 🖐️

Thank you Rep. Pramila Jayapal for joining today’s day of action in Seattle to defend public research ✊ “Our work now is to come together and build a bigger movement — to insist that we will not allow Musk and Trump to take away our healthcare” @republicjayapal.bsky.social @uaw4121.bsky.social

Sylvia Rivera was a fierce advocate and fighter for transgender and gay rights, especially for trans people of color. At a time when our government is trying to erase trans and queer people, it’s critical we celebrate our history, honor Sylvia’s legacy, and fight like hell for our rights.

Great to start the day off right, running with UChicago Institute of Politics students undeterred by single-digit temps. They say there’s no such thing as bad weather - just bad gear.

Okay, I was on the fence about going to the rainy, windy #UAW4121 #handsoff!seattle rally for science today, but #PeteButtigieg has shamed me into going.😉

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

📸 Iconic Photo On Feb 18 1965 Jimmie Lee Jackson was shot by Alabama state troopers while peacefully protesting for voting rights. His death sparked the Selma to Montgomery marches, leading to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Voting rights were won, not given. ⚖️✊🏾🗳️ #HumanRights #BlackHistoryMonth

Important reminder that roughly one-third of America’s federal employees are veterans. As President Trump and Elon Musk accelerate their efforts to illegally fire civil servants in every department, it’s the men and women who have served who will be most impacted.

✊✊✊✊✊✊

What she said!!!👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

Join your local tenants union. It's a great way to get involved and to learn from experienced organizers: lobbying, protests, and yes even militant direct action.

This is the kind of wikipedia infobox entry you'd expect to see for who leads the militia in control of an unrecognized breakaway province in a failed state.

Bernie Sanders: "The struggle against Trump, the struggle against oligarchy, which is led by Elon Musk ... that's not gonna be won here in Capitol Hill. It's gonna be won by millions of people all over this country standing up and saying, 'we fought and died for democracy.'"

I don't recall that being his campaign slogan

Watching this now live and it's powerful. Watch and find some hope. #hope#resist#shadowhearings

If you to send something to friends and family who don't follow the news closely something that'll bring them up to speed, try this @nprfreshair.bsky.social interview with @charliesavage.bsky.social, who has been covering attempts to expand executive power for 30 years. www.npr.org/2025/02/17/g...

What would you sign an executive order for? Wrong answers only.

As climate scientists, seeing climate protests is a boost that makes us realize that people care about the knowledge that we generate. We should join protests now to show all those fighting the coup from inside the US government that they're doing what the people want and they have our support.

NEW: Here is Trump's executive order purporting to end the independence of multi-member head independent agencies. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Sorry, refugees and Medicaid recipients. Under President Trump, the GOP is taking America back from the elites. by Elon Musk, Rupert Murdoch, and Peter Thiel

Let's see how the intrepid Elon inspired team at DOGE - the folks who are currently examining your tax records - are doing! Today they put up their their idea of "open data" which they call a "Wall of Receipts". And look here - two cancelled DEIA contracts for $9,999,999. Wow, they saved $20M! 1/
