Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

a new agency made of teenage neonazis and drug dealers is in charge of the entire government. the richest man in the world, who gave a nazi salute at the president's inauguration, says he is in charge. officially, he isn't. the government won't tell the courts who is in charge

US Rep Gabe Amo speaks to over 2000 people outside the RI State House. “We have seen the complete abdication of responsibility from our Republican colleagues.”

Social Security is far too important to be raided by the Musk-rats 🐀😡

Just announced: US Reps Magaziner and Amo will be speaking at the anti-Musk/Trump rally today. Over 1000 in attendance, maybe double that.

In 2024 I placed 160 orders on Amazon. I dropped Prime and will never order from Amazon again. All that money is going to deserving companies that care about people and stand up to wannabe US dictators. Vote with your wallets.

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Focus on the positive: this has overall been a very bad week for Trump! * he is falling in the polls - both his favorability and his policies * he lost his first Supreme Court case on firing an watchdog, setting the way for others fired to fight back 1/

"We don't work for DOGE. We have always worked for you." Yes!

W/ Kash Patel's confirmation, he now has the power to weaponize the FBI against his so-called "enemies" Weaponizing law enforcement is a tactic used by autocrats around the globe—but Americans can push back We discuss how👇-TN www.brookings.edu/articles/dem...

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

'Stand up for us!' Republican shouted down as he defends DOGE cuts at town hall www.rawstory.com/rich-mccormi...

Happy Black History Month

The elected Republicans are gutless cowards. Pelosi had someone break into her home & injure her husband & she still went to work & did what was right. They swore an oath to the constitution. Resign now if you’re too scared to do your job. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

There's a reason congress is article 1 of the constitution and the president is only mentioned in article 2. The power of legislating and of creating post offices is squarely in article 1, under the power and control of congress.

Trump wants to dismantle any chances of future free and fair elections by taking control of the USPS, media, dismantling government agencies tasked with election security, protocols, etc.

REMINDER: The single biggest driver of our national debt since 2001 has been **Republican** tax cuts.

MAGA has a bill that would disenfranchise someone you know. The SAVE Act is the GOP’s attempt at mass voter suppression disguised as an election integrity bill: indivisibleteam.medium.com/maga-has-a-b...

Abortion is healthcare and shouldn't be banned. Leave healthcare decisions to the patient + doctor.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Disgusting & vile that Republicans voted Kash Patel in as FBI Director.

Congressional Republicans are happy to let you suffer while laws are broken & the functions of government crumble.

Reality Check: Right now Republicans are trying to pass a budget that includes 4.5 *trillion* in handouts to the ultra-rich. It's an average annual tax cut of $314,266 for the top 0.1%. Translation: they are blowing up the debt and deficit to help their billionaire donors.

84% HUD staff cuts will cause irreversible harm to towns still recovering & trying to rebuild from recent disasters. Trump is giving tax breaks to his rich friends over ensuring HUD can deliver resources to you.   Hear 👏🏾 Me 👏🏾 Clearly 👏🏾    He doesn't care about you!

Thank you Chris Kluwe!

Trump to Americans basically: Get f-ed, stay f-ed.

Latin lesson time! This is called a “quid pro quo” or “something for something”.

NEW: A @wired.com investigation into Google’s ad ecosystem found that users of its DV360 platform can—despite Google's rules against it—target ads based on highly sensitive traits like medical issues or financial hardship. @dell.bsky.social & @dmehro.bsky.social report: www.wired.com/story/google...

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...
