Evil people take control of governments by first teaching good people not to trust government.

WTF?🤦‍♀️

We are so screwed

Big Balls’s past gets more scrutiny — including the internship where he was terminated. “You’re willing to risk our entire network to a 17-year-old?” one frustrated executive asked the company’s CEO in 2022. “Are you for real right now?” @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

In 2020, the military was adamant about refusing to get involved in the election. That's why Trump hates General Mark Milley so much. Now, Trump is transforming the military into one that will back him up in 2029. We need to figure out how to prepare for that eventuality.

As America is being torn apart, weakened, and sold to the highest bidder, I think about all the folks who told me, "Well, it won't be THAT bad" and "We survived 4 years of Trump..." and "The systems will hold." All of them are privileged and well-off. Alas. We're all in it now.

It’s imperative at this point that Europe develop a defense posture independent of the United States, which should be treated as the ally of Russia that it has now become.

This fantastic piece by Stewart Patrick is an excellent summary of the wrecking ball that Trump is taking to the entire international order crafted by Dem & Repub presidents over 80 yrs. Who does this benefit? The Kremlin, for certain. No one else. carnegieendowment.org/emissary/202...

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

😣This is why we "must" fight! The "Destroyer" is destroying our country! #Thisiswhywefight #Bluecrew #Resistance #Resist

Jordan Bardella, the president of France’s hard right National Rally, has cancelled his plans to speak at CPAC after Steve Bannon “proactively made a gesture referring to Nazi ideology.” In other words, Bannon and CPAC are now too extreme for the French extreme right.

AP sues Trump, stocks crash, consumer confidence plummets, Trump fires the ICE director over poor deportation numbers, GOP has horrible fundraising numbers, and more. Catch up on today's news!

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

This teacher is a national treasure. ♥️

Look what the Brits are saying.

#DemVoice1 #ProudBlue Congratulations, Republican lawmakers: You may save your career (for now) by torturing your soul to defend the indefensible. Decades later, will you smile knowing you did the right thing and served people well? Save your honor now.

I don't doubt this for one minute

🤔🤷‍♀️

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

Yes, DOGE isn't even an advisory committee...it's a criminal organization.

If someone you know is detained: immigrantjustice.org/know-your-ri...

I think yes.

Moving toward dictatorial control is the fundamental purpose of issuing a seemingly endless series of executive orders that clearly violate existing laws.

BREAKING: It was just revealed that DOGE fired the top authority for all nuclear-safety matters at the National Nuclear Security Administration. Total incompetence that puts all of us at risk.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

A little substance about what the FBI does & historical context to help you articulate just how dangerous the confirmation of Kash Patel is. joycevance.substack.com/p/kash-patel...

Remember when team USA beat the Soviets in the 80s? Canada just had that moment and the US were the Soviets this time. Congratulations Canada 🍁

Hello!

I’m not saying we should all panic. But maybe the government shouldn’t shut down all the systems we have for monitoring this situation. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

I used @5calls.org to call Rep Troy Balderson and Senators Husted & Bernie Moreno today I asked them if we could count on them to protect Medicaid All 3 offices replied "I can't say" "I CAN'T SAY?! AKFKM? This is one of the most urgent matters of the day FFS! #OHpol #Ohio
