It's hard to get traction on the Constitutional crisis when many Americans are facing job losses, increasing grocery prices, decreasing healthcare access. If these basics are not going the way you thought they would, check out @indivisible.org @thirdactorg.bsky.social @peoplepowerunited.bsky.social

REMEMBER: THIS Friday, February 28. NOT 1 PENNY SPENT. We can DO this. I'm IN, are YOU?

Is this what you hoped for when you voted? If not, stand up and speak out. @indivisible.org @thirdactorg.bsky.social @peoplepowerunited.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social

It's going to take all of us!

If this isn't the change you were hoping to see when you voted, make your voice heard. @indivisible.org @thirdactorg.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social

Please RSVP for and invite friends to the week-long Amazon boycott coming up (if you still have facebook): www.facebook.com/events/13171... As physicians, we have a LOT of buying power. And the more people we get on board, the more impact we have. #CancelAmazon #BoycottAmazon #MedSky #AcademicSky

I am!

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Refresher: Article II of the US Constitution outlines the presidency and limits presidential power to prevent any one person from holding absolute authority. The Titles of Nobility Clause (Article I, Section 9) prohibits the granting of titles like "king" or "prince" in the U.S.

Congratulations and thank you @democracyforward.org!

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

If you're not seeing the change you voted for, make your voice heard. @indivisible.org @thirdactorg.bsky.social @peoplepowerunited.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social

And then, ditch your Kindle, buy the Canadian-developed Kobo, and download books from the library!

If egg smuggling isn't the outcome you envisioned when you voted for Trump, make your voice heard. @indivisible.org @thirdactorg.bsky.social

Literacy is activism. Reading is a political act. Books are tools for liberation.

No matter who you voted for, the firings, defunding and bullying may be leaving you hungry, literally, and for change that benefits we the people. What are we going to do about that?

“Freedom of speech for me and not for thee,” sounds like something a king would say. As many of us have noted this week, we don’t do kings in America. Some thoughts on the AP’s lawsuit: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

Watch: @maddow.msnbc.com explains that the public opinion is against the felon in the White House. He is historically unpopular. He is the least popular president in the history of modern polling during this point of his presidency. People don't like his policies & the people in his administration.

🚨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!

Thank you @senatedem.bsky.social - keep it up!

This is how many hours per week a person needs to work in order to escape poverty. The US is dead last. #Poverty #USA

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. That starts with banning super PAC donations in Dem primaries. There’s no way the party can speak for the majority of working people in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

Applause and gratitude for @govpritzker.illinois.gov and Governor Janet Mills. Let's hope they can fire up more elected officials!

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Good question! Where are you George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden? I'm doing more in my retirement than you seem to be. Please step up and help block the coup.

Kash Patel must NOT be confirmed as Fbi Director.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

We're counting on you, Senator Durbin!

It's time for above and beyond.

EMERGENCY VIDEO: Doesn’t it make sense, since we evidently don’t have enough money to stop AIDS in Africa or utilize that we cut Congress’ budget? Doesn’t it make sense for the White House to live on less? Shouldn’t Elon Musk take a cut to his Space x? adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

I don't think there's a common cause for all of the recent crashes, but the numbers are starting to be unnerving. And, the loss of life heartbreaking.

"Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage." -- @govpritzker.illinois.gov

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.
