My Easter tradition:

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

Many eligible American women will be ineligible to vote if the SAVE act is passed. It has passed the House. Do Not let it pass the Senate. #saveact #jimcrow2025 #womensrighttovote #protectwomensrighttovote

This isn't The Art of the Deal. It's insider trading with a bad comb-over. Step 1: Tank the Market, Scare the Non-Millionaires Step 2: Let the Aristocrats Feast Step 3: Flip, but say ‘Winning’ Step 4: Pretend None of This Ever Happened & Get Your Media Dregs To Do The Same Rinse, Enrich, Repeat.

BOSTON 💙 #handsoff

T-30 minutes from the start at #HandsOff Boston and Massachusetts is showing UP

TODAY: It’s time to take to the streets nationwide to let Trump and Musk know they can’t intimidate us into submission. Nearly 600,000 people are signed up to attend 1,400 events in every state and seven countries. Find out what’s happening near you and join us: handsoff2025.com?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Apropos of nothing: Kamala Harris predicted this exact moment happening: “Understand that part of Trump’s plan is to put in place a national sales tax of at least 20% on everyday goods and necessities.” She warned us over & over again & she was so right.

..." the entire series appears to me to be less about the specifics of online culture and its corrupting possibilities than about the way in which women are forced, as a matter of course, to manage men’s anger, not to mention their ever-present sexual overtures."

“I promise you, (John Lewis) that I will do everything possible to make you proud.” —Cory Booker

So young men are giving up, and choosing to be aimless unevolved losers with no skills or ambition who then support fascists. And it’s all the fault of women. And Dems who care about vulnerable minorities. Got it.

Journalists who frame what's happening in Washington as Republicans vs. Democrats instead of fascism vs. democracy are missing the most important story of their lives.

This morning, enjoy a strong #CupOfJoe courtesy of @algreen.house.gov! "I'll accept the punishment. It's worth it to let people know that there's some of us who are going to stand up" Rise up! Let’s get in some #GoodTrouble!

Alina Habba on veterans who have been fired from government jobs: "Perhaps they're not fit to have a job at this moment."

Me: You can't hurt me. I grew up on Born Free, Benji, and Thomasina. Flow: Fuck you

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about? VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

I miss DEI

OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

I am part of the 25%. The lifestyle change is worth it. This is the way…

WOW! Trump just blamed Ukraine for starting the war with Putin. He literally slammed Zelensky about the war saying: "You should have never started it." This is straight up Kremlin talking points and propoganda. Trump is a Russian asset and a TRAITOR to the USA. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Protestors marching through New York. (📷 @democracynow.org ) "Today is president's day, not dictators day" "keep families together" #3E #USProtests #fiftyfiftyone #NoKings #Feb17

This cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social is getting banned on Twitter. Because of course it is.

The very first thing he did was a Nazi salute.

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

Here comes the justification for Dictatorship

So many men, including many liberals, told women we were overreacting.

"So this is how liberty dies… " Making sense of Trump's first three weeks open.substack.com/pub/christin...

Remind me which of Trump's actions have helped everyday Americans concerned about the price of things...or that in any way improve their lives.

It’s time for people of faith, morality, and conscience to hold the people in our lives accountable for their willing partnership with this filth. FULL POST: johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-may-nee...

NEW: An internal email obtained by @wired.com from a threat intelligence team monitoring US Treasury systems advised labeling DOGE operatives an "insider threat," adding that it recommended suspending their access "immediately." www.wired.com/story/treasu...

Oh fuck - this is NOT going to make the Tinkle Tape Traitor very happy. 🤭
