Jane Fonda: Woke just means you give a damn about other people!

Thousands of people marched in DC in solidarity with Ukraine and against impunity by oligarchs like Trump and Putin. They gathered outside the Russian embassy. #3E #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity #USprotests #DCprotests #StandWithUkraine

Wow! What a great cover!

“With the latest announced cuts in federal spending, many of the programs that have helped people in need across the globe are at risk.” Yale Divinity School’s Gregory E. Sterling writes why Evangelicals & Christians who voted for Trump should be outraged. READ MORE: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

One of the more alarming announcements, given the Trump administration’s trashing of conventions across the federal government, was the dismissal of the most senior lawyers of the army, navy and air force econ.st/41CNv3H

Imagine a friend of your boss who knows nothing about what you do sending you this email and expecting a response??? DOGE is not a legally created government department. Elon Musk is not a federal official. This is ridiculous. #SMH

Was he ok? How would anyone know?

So, will the inspection require a fleet of semitrailer trucks, I wonder? www.cbsnews.com/news/fort-kn... 🦹‍♂️

Curious as to what the GOP in Michigan thinks about the cost to women and others whose names don’t match their birth certificate? Listen to Congressman Tim Walberg answer a direct question about the SAVE act. Call your congressman today to share your outrage. And shame on Tim Walberg.

The @principlesfirst.bsky.social conference was just evacuated due to a bomb threat. This is after Enrique Tarrio and members of the Proud Boys showed up and tried to disrupt the conference yesterday.

In the state of SC rural hospitals and health care in those areas have been closing since Nikki Hailey refused to expand Medicaid years ago. This hasn't changed their cultist loyalty the gop. They just keep voting to harm themselves in order to own the libs. 🤦‍♀️

Take heart: democracy is rising. This week: a judge halted anti-DEI attacks, a court kept DOGE out of the Treasury, and SCOTUS backed a rightful reinstatement. Democracy is lighting the path for fairness. We can beat fascism! @contrariannews.org tinyurl.com/Democracy-tr...

Pass it on please.

Score: Mills 1, Trump 0. She’s 100% right on the law. Trump’s “We ARE the law” was way, way over the top. No, Mr. President, you are not. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Trump fired General C.Q. Brown, our highest-ranking military officer. A four-star general, Brown served the country for 40+ years. The words they’re using to justify these firings like "woke" and "DEI" — we know what they mean. Why would they apply the term "woke" to him?

What Afra said. Talk about a very weak, completely unsecure man.

The Homeland Security secretary said tonight that Trump told her to film ads that “thank me for closing the border.” DHS has budgeted up to $200 million for its anti-immigration ad campaign. w/ @swin24.bsky.social @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Would this surprise anyone not in the cult? Expect news that the former KGB agent fell out of a window soon.

This is a really nice, simple distillation of the vital role NOAA and the NWS play and how private companies cannot replace what they do.

This gets my vote for tweet/post of the year. This is a RED ALERT post. This is exactly why he’s doing it.

Remember that Donald Trump's playbook is to float an idea repeatedly to normalize it before pursuing it seriously. Republicans in the House and Senate are beyond pathetic for throwing democracy, the Constitution, liberty, justice, and this country under the bus for a wannabe dictator.

Born in slavery in NY, Sojourner Truth escaped & dedicated her life to advocating for the rights of both African Americans & women. Her speech, “Ain’t I a Woman?” was delivered in 1851 at the Women’s Convention in OH. She met w/ President Lincoln in 1864 to discuss the future of African Americans.

Trump just ordered the DOJ to eliminate the police misconduct database. Imagine losing your child to police brutality &finding out the officer had a violent history that wasn't tracked. That’s what happened to Eric Garners family. The officer who killed him had many complaints before that fatal day.

He wants his military to say "yes sir" when he tells them to shoot protestors... www.npr.org/2022/05/09/1...

Trump was thrilled to announce tonight that he has terminated America’s most senior military officer — Gen. C.Q. Brown, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Trump failed to provide a reason as to why he abruptly fired Brown from his position. It is, in fact, the first time that the…

Exactly! Trump only idolizes those who reflect him, not those who speak the truth. (Trump - Zelensky)

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.

JUST IN: A judge has enjoined President Trump's effort to block federal funds from going toward grant recipients who engage in DEI practices. The judge says the orgs are likely to succeed on claims that this is viewpoint discrimination, among other issues storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
