NEW: U.S. consumer sentiment plunges—down 10% from January over tariff and inflation fears. Most people I know think the economy is cooked thanks to Trump’s policies—designed to help the rich and screw working folks. He’s not doing shit to fix the economy or lower costs. Just broken promises.

Trump says California just finished up counting their votes: They were voting a week and half ago

I said what I said.

Guys it's been one hell of a day here at the good ole IRS. Need some time to process and to reach out to friends and family affected by the terminations this week. We don't know how many we lost or when this will end. Take care of yourselves, and be kind to the people hurting. We are all Americans.

I guess Trump’s Special Envoy doesn’t agree with him that Zelensky is a corrupt, incompetent dictator. Pretty schizophrenic foreign policy.

A former Soviet intelligence officer alleges Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename “Krasnov.” Alnur Mussayev served in the 6th Directorate, responsible for counter-intelligence support in the economy. One key objective was “recruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.”

The Georgia Republican who recently told CNN that school kids should be sent to work to earn school lunches was met with outrage and fury from residents at a local town hall meeting on Thursday night.

I am going to listen to Prof. Richardson: we have to keep putting one foot in front of the other, do the right thing, and we will change the world because WE are the heroes who get up every day and get the job done. Historian Heather Cox Richardson: 'We're already in a coup' youtu.be/wOaUuEzq6bY

Ruling like a king and following the Putin model…oligarchy, modern day communism and feudalism as I said. theconversation.com/trump-is-rul...

House Republicans who were willing to hold town halls back home this week got an earful. At events from Georgia and Wisconsin to Oklahoma and Oregon, many of them faced hostile crowds furious about the sweeping budget cuts & mass firings of federal workers that Trump and Musk’s DOGE is carrying out.

Modern-Day Peaceful Protest… TikTokers are hunting Cybertrucks—pulling up behind them and projecting anti-Elon Musk messages onto the tailgate. What’s genius: the driver has zero rear visibility & zero idea. The Cybertruck Hunters account launched a week ago and already dropped a dozen videos.

Just disgusting.

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

#ResistanceRoots #Voices4Victory #BlackHistoryMonth Nina Simone was born on this day in 1933 in Tryon, N.C. Denied admission to a music school because of her race, Simone went on to a successful career as a singer, songwriter and pianist, using music to express her civil rights activism. /1

All this because of one fateful golden shower..

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

“This is the move of a weak and insecure tyrant, not a strong Commander-in-Chief. Firing senior military leaders for political reasons is a reckless, dangerous step that will directly harm military readiness and stability.” votevets.org/press-releas...

“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.

Fresh out of prison after Trump’s pardon, Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was arrested today for assaulting a woman protesting his event.

"These kinds of shocks are going to lead to a mass exodus … for minorities in particular.” For my latest @science.org story, I spoke with early career researchers who have been affected by the federal upheaval and are concerned about what it means for their future. www.science.org/content/arti...

Brilliant front page

Kash Patel’s confirmation to head the FBI is quite a contrast to what happened with Richard Nixon’s first pick, L. Patrick Gray, who Congress rejected for being to partisan & too close to the president—the same characteristics Patel possesses. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Freaking true though!! Who else? #atheist #christianity #resist

Brilliant segment on the vital role the NIH exercises in advancing Alzheimer’s research to unlock future treatments. Strong and very recent bipartisan support. Well done and thank you @maddow.msnbc.com

There’s something happening in this country.

True.
