Awesome - $350B to kick people out who contribute $76B just in taxes to the economy. Makes perfect sense.

Guess what? Members of Congress are in a better position to protect themselves than all of us who get death threats regularly. They're afraid of losing their positions. If you're too afraid of losing votes to defend the Constitution, then you shouldn't be in Congress.

When FAA employees are telling us itā€™s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

Well it was nice to like Hochul for like 24 hours, but this seems like itā€™s going to be ripe for abuse in a way that just kicking Adams out wouldnā€™t have been. Can you imagine if Cuomo had significant oversight over BdB? Can you imagine if Gov. Lee Zeldin happens? Itā€™s a nightmare!

Every Democrat should be telling this story.

Federal workers are already posting direct accounts of their firings on TikTok, garnering viral sympathy and support. Why Dems are not taking advantage of these already public, very personal profiles is indeed baffling, see this thread: www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8YVxTUq/

Elon Musk fired a disabled Veteran with 3 tours of duty from his job serving other Veterans at the VA. Elonā€™s companies get billions from defense contracts. Heā€™s happy to profit off our servicemembers - but when he can no longer make money off them, he kicks them to the curb.

ACTION THIS WEDNESDAY: Researchers from New York universities are holding a rally to protest the funding cuts at Washington Square Park at 4 pm. This will be part of a national day of action, with rallies at HHS in DC and all around the country. RSVP HERE: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Hochul reading the room

Hey @JDVance, and @elonmusk, and @realDonaldTrump it looks like the Auschwitz Memorial wants to educate you. STOP LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

$500 million worth of food intended for relief efforts is at risk of spoiling, given Trumpā€™s freeze on shipping food assistance ā€œThey get the one starving kid in Sudan that isnā€™t going to have a USAID bottle, and they make everything DOGE has done about the starving kid in Sudan,ā€ WH official said.

People aren't "addicted" to antidepressants. People *take* antidepressants to stay alive.

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

NYC protest at Stonewall tomorrow!

Really good article on why Elon Musk is vulnerable to a sustained boycott of Tesla. They worked against apartheid. Surely they could work against one South African. slate.com/business/202...

Surely no one would want to make things harder for Russ Vought by reporting false leads to the tip line below!

Zelensky is putting a brave face on what is shaping up to be a disastrous & dangerous policy shift. So far, the policy of the U.S., -no Ukraineā€™s in NATO -Ukraineā€™s security Europeā€™s problem -Itā€™s okay for Russia to use military force to violate sovereignty, take territoryā€¦ NATO has to be terrified

Pretty damn good framing for Dems

BREAKING: White House confirms it has lost at least 12 cases, at least temporarily, since becoming president. Acting illegally and losing cases is a hallmark of Trump.

Wow, thereā€™s a very long thread of replies here. And people should really give it some thought.

i cannot stress enough that at the very least everyone in leadership needs to go. all of them. probably most electeds over 70 too. primary them all. while we're at it can we just drop the entirety of the ny dem party on a deserted island

I just called Kathy Hochul and requested that she fire Eric Adams. (518)474-8390

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

Tell her to do it NYers 1-518-474-8390

"I'm an Elon Musk guy," Mayor Adams said on Jan. 22 after Trump's inauguration. Today, Musk said Trump's seeking to force Adams' admin to return $59 million in federal migrant crisis funding. www.nydailynews.com/2025/02/10/e...

the last time we had a government shutdown the Democrats were the minority party and 71% of Americans blamed Trump. They'll blame Trump again. Someone please remind the Democrats of this

If Elon Musk is looking for wasteful government spending, he should start with Pete Hegseth. Hegseth approved a $49,000 ā€˜emergencyā€™ paint job on his government homeā€”while critical services are being cut. But sure, tell us more about fiscal responsibility. MORE: www.forbes.com/sites/antoni...

What do they think happens to civil rights lawyers & activists? It just amazes me.

Apparently the Times is up in arms about the treatment of trans people ā€” treatment they have been fully complicit in. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/o...

An incredible rally at Union Square - over 7000 people standing up for trans kids! #riseupfortransyouth

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, donā€™t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. Itā€™s starting to work.

"Her prose has the clean, placeless scent of laundry detergent"

Major demo for trans youth coming up by Act Up, GLM, & Transformative Schools following numerous NYC hospitals preemptively ending gender-affirming care for minors in violation of New York state law, which this past election enshrined trans rights into law. Saturday at 1pm, Union Square.
