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)

My new favorite drug is Republican members of Congress getting yelled at in their districts by constituents who hate Musk.

DOGE = Department of Gross Errors

Mark my words—He is going to try to shut down mail-in voting. When he does, we will sue and we will win. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The reason the USA is so messed up is because everyone thinks bad things will never happen to them.

ICYMI: I’m leading a constitutional amendment to undo Citizens United. After an election where a billionaire bought a seat as Shadow President, we must ensure our democracy is truly of, by, and for the people — not corporations and billionaire donors. truthout.org/articles/jay...

I dont know who needs to hear this but giving unelected billionaires access to everyones personal data, pardoning January 6 insurectionist and tanking the economy are wildly UNPOPULAR actions. Trumps poll numbers are dropping like a stone. www.thebulwark.com/p/trumps-pol...

For all my colleagues who want to be on Donald Trump's 'good side' - just remember: There's more room under the Trump Bus than on it.

Hey Wisconsin: Elon Musk is trying to buy our Supreme Court. He has already given Brad Schimel $1.5 million dollars. I will not bow down to oligarchy, nor should you. I will be voting for Susan Crawford on April 1st. 🤘

People are fleeing Florida and Texas. As of Jan. 2025, those states collectively accounted for over 30% of ALL homes for sale in the US. Florida had 157,221 active listings—the highest in the country—followed by Texas with 102,552. Repressive state governments and rising insurance are to blame.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Resisting comes in all forms. Here is a very creative one starting to pop up.

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

yeah I think Charlottesville is pissed

Thousands marched in New York City against the fascist Trump regime. (📹@StatusCoup) "Fascist Trump has got to go" #3E #USProtests #fiftyfiftyone #NoKings #Feb17

Best News you'll read today

When my class was elected in 2010, we cut congress’ own budget and our personal ones by about 10 percent. This one should cut theirs by about 20, and each office should lay off a couple employees. Same DOGE is requiring. Make every @gop answer

it’s so bad I’m getting “political” on LinkedIn

Massive protests in the US as the country faces an ongoing coup d’état by the Trump regime and his oligarch cabal headed by Musk. Countless people are standing up to fascism proving the US will not go quietly. #3E #USprotests #fiftyfiftyone #Feb17 (🎥 @vuralelibol.bsky.social )

Connecticut was out at The CT Capitol today.

Donold tRUmp is senile with no decision-making skills. At this stage anything that emanates from him was put there by someone else. The ones to get rid of are Musk, Vance and Miller.

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

Hey @washingtonpost.com, why are you such cowards?

Happy President's Day from Union Square in NYC, which is filled with protesters preparing for a march down Broadway This picture is a fraction of the people in the park, and many people have already started marching It's a beautiful day. Let's do this 🧵

In case you’re having a bad day, new polling shows Assistant President Poopy Pant’s approval rating and personal popularity are going down faster than Lauren Boebert’s hand at a kid’s musical. Happy #PresidentsDay indeed.

I have not asked for anything on this site, until now. If you live in Wisconsin, or know someone who does, please have them vote for Susan Crawford. Brad Schimel is a racist, homophobic, misogynist, who would ban all abortions, with no exceptions. He is MAGA to the core. Thank you🥰🥰🥰

Rush Limbaugh died 4 years ago today. This is the best description I can find, regarding his life’s accomplishments.

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

Nazism worked in a country of 80 million people. It won’t work in a country of 335 million. We were shocked in 2016. In 2025. We are pissed.

Amazing day out here and across the country! We have over 70 people at this store in Pasadena. Won't post shots of the crowd, up to others if they want to. This is just the beginning! #TeslaTakedown Teslatakedown.com

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

After meeting with Polish leaders, Zelenskyy finally spoke from the position of strength and against the US narrative 👍

Wow! German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius SLAMS JD Vance's speech as undemocratic and calls it "not acceptable." “Here in Germany, we fight for your right to disagree against us.” He’s 100% right!
