You can’t confirm a lie.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

I imagine today will be ... a day. In a world of chaos, turn frustration into fuel for change. What’s your action today? Can you encourage others to help? Together, turn the tide for the better. 👥

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

Our system was not designed for a party system in which one party can gain control of all three branches after having radicalized against democracy, having lost all sense of shame about telling easily disprovable lies, and having built a hermetically-sealed media environment for their supporters.

There is no good reason for this meeting. Even if you think there is diplomatic value in open dialogue, you do that with lower level staff. All this serves to do is send a signal to anti-semites at home and abroad that the Trump admin is friendly to their hate www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

I’m not gonna worry about today’s edition of “Dems in disarray.” We’re in pain & it’s not neat or coherent right now. OK. And even if it were, it wouldn’t be telegraphed to press. . . . Personally I’m encountering people who are locked in & willing.

Can only speak for myself but I’ve heard some reeeeally rough stories. At the end I do a thing that feels gross, which is *ask their permission* to share their story to put a face on what is happening. As a moral/ethical matter we can’t share stories without consent and we defo can’t put them on TV-

three fights and we're not 10 seconds into the USA-Canada 4 Nations Face-Off game this is the most lit thing i've ever seen

The Lives of Others 🎥 . If you haven’t, I suggest. Be well.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Ron DeSantis has claimed the authority to just remove from office several elected Dem prosecutors for things like refusing to prosecution abortions; as well as elected school board members and at least one elected sheriff. He just signed a new law this week that expands his power to do this.

Vance visiting Dachau and then meeting w the AfD and urging German politicians to welcome them into government is a "gotta hear both sides" for the ages.

The “, brian” is reverberating in my mind. For real, folks — pick a side. Right now.

if journalism is supposed to be one of the institutions that safeguards a free society then journalists should be opponents of autocratic takeovers, brian.

Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified" This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

Trump said no drag shows at the Kennedy Center. DC says: this is our house, we’ll do it anyways. Join us and @claudiajonesschool.bsky.social @harrietsdreams.bsky.social @dykemarch.bsky.social + more for a dance party TOMORROW at 6:30 PM. freedcproject.org/event-list/d...

Trump has said he wants to "crack down" on DC. We know that means more police violence against the people here. We reject these attempts to interfere in DC communities. On Friday, join us for a community rally and speakout at 12 PM at Black Lives Matter Plaza. freedcproject.org/event-list/l...

So, if we all did this at once. . .

Sens Cramer, Curtis, & Fischer voted yea on Hegseth. Together with the 3 R nays in that vote they are looking good to pressure to defect.

"Despair and believing that you are powerless is a form of 'obeying in advance.' People ARE doing things. You will meet those people when YOU start doing things." Concrete actions from @sifill.bsky.social, excellent as always.

Join @freedcproject.bsky.social Tuesday Feb 11 for an in-person campaign orientation to learn what this effort is all about, their plan to win #DCStatehood, and how you can be part of it. freedcproject.org/event-list/c...

It’s Saturday and everything is tough, but … American exceptionalism, boy, I dunno. This is happening. You don’t get another vote for a parent to stop it. Suit up. Pick a side. Contribute and don’t be any drag. Let’s go.

Why keep them? Trump MAGA does not respect your right to choose. Consider if this is lashing out at those you feel safe rejecting. Proceed as though there are no fair elections in 2026 (they will not count black votes, full stop) and you won’t get to this place. Folks, square up & be a teammate.
