Wow! What a great cover!

“In some ways that’s even more chilling than firing the four stars,” Rosa Brooks, a professor at Georgetown Law. “It’s what you do when you’re planning to break the law: you get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down.” By NYT Greg Jaffe www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

This gets my vote for tweet/post of the year. This is a RED ALERT post. This is exactly why he’s doing it.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

Der Spiegel is HUGE PUBLICATION NOT ONLY GERMANY BUT EUROPE "VERRATEN" German for BETRAYRD

This.

Murphy: "The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy."

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.

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

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

We must not move on from this. What he said here is utterly un-American. You either condemn it, laugh it off, or embrace it. History will remember your response.

Knowledge is power…

Good morning ☀️ Project 2025 makes women “less than”. We are unique beings with miraculous power. You are Someone. We’ve been pushed beyond all limits. No more. Embrace our power. Push back - our very existence depends on it. Warrior Sisters, unite. Rise! #EndTheWarOnWomen #SheShed

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

This means nothing. Useless. Empty words, zero action. Boycott his events. Refuse to cover his photo ops and propaganda signings. He’s addicted to coverage and hates being ignored. Until you band together and do something, these statements are utterly pointless & pathetic.

If RFK wants to meaningfully decrease rates of depression, he can support paid family and maternity leave, equal pay for women, universal healthcare, and fully funded public schools. Stigmatizing medication that treats the mental impact of a country that devalues your existence won’t cut it.

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

You know, the rest of the White House Press Corps could collectively decide to not attend briefings, pressers, or pools until their AP colleagues are reinstated with access, but that would take a modicum of courage and integrity in this moment, wouldn't it?

🏈If football worked like PA's #redistricting process, the #Eagles could now draw the lines, pick the refs & move the goalposts to decide who wins in the next decade of #NFL #UFL & regional leagues. 🏈It would wreck the game just like #gerrymandering wrecks democracy. #GoBirds 🦅

The removal of a transgender reference from the National Park Service’s Stonewall website wasn’t done by NPS staff. Elon, care to elaborate?

I mean I'm on board with this idea.

They’re doing project 2025, just like we said they would

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

Never. Forget. Never. Forgive. ✨

This is just one of thousands of harrowing stories told about the U.S. Government abandoning Americans abroad in the USAID shutdown. This is Benghazi times a million. 1/

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

GOOD MORNING, THE EAGLES ARE SUPER BOWL CHAMPS!

Fly Eagles fly!!🦅🦅🦅🦅

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

This video will make your day ❤️🐿

Trump, Vance, and Musk are pushing to rehire a staffer who resigned after being called out for a social media account with a history of racist posts. “To err is human, to forgive divine,” Elon Musk said in defense of the move. No—it’s not err; it’s racism. No excuses.

Government of South Africa takes Trump to school:

I urge people to read this article from Christianity Today, especially in light of Trump's pledge to create a task force to police "anti-Christian bias." Trump and Musk just shutdown hundreds of millions of faith-based humanitarian efforts around the world. www.christianitytoday.com/2025/02/usai...
