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

“They are openly defying their own voters.” In tonight’s episode of America Unhinged, @franifio.bsky.social and @wajali.bsky.social discuss the passing of the House budget bill that calls for spending and tax cuts. Watch the full episode: zeteo.com/p/journalism... youtube.com/shorts/v-F3L...

WAKE UP! R’s philosophy for reducing the debt is to cut a HUGE REVENUE source (i.e. raising taxes on the ultra wealthy). So, essentially we’re asking the waitress to pay the bill so that the wealthy patron gets the meal for free. Got it!

Last night, 217 of the 218 House Republicans voted to take your money and give it to billionaires. If you’re represented by a Republican, they need to hear from you TODAY — tell your GOP representative that you don’t want to pay the price for their billionaire tax breaks. 👇

So the wealthy get to sit in their ivory towers while the rest of us have to “sacrifice” and “go through tough times” because the only way to solve a debt is to cut programs from millions of us. All of us are entitled to have financial success, but we can’t do it if all the wealth sits with a few.

Sucha good segment! @aoc.bsky.social @mcuban.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @demsocialists.bsky.social youtube.com/watch?v=utl2...

Go Netherlands.

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

This is disturbing. Why are people not talking about this more? youtube.com/watch?v=t3PM...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

It’s time to do what we do best: Make Republicans squirm and ensure Democrats fight like hell. Your representative is back home for recess and we’ve got events planned across the country (including Tesla dealerships). We know that showing up works and the stakes are too high to stay home. LFG. 👇

“Like cigarettes, enormous vehicles can kill those who never used the product…40 years ago, the outrage of secondhand smoke was an eye-opener for many Americans. A similar narrative could help people recognize the havoc that 4-wheeled behemoths now wreak on our streets.”— @davidzipper.bsky.social

Want cheaper housing, shorter commutes, and more walkable neighborhoods? The problem isn’t demand—it’s zoning. Outdated laws ban apartments, shops, and even duplexes in most cities. It’s time for zoning reform.

A quick resistance task: 1. Google Gulf of Mexico 2. “Gulf of America" is the top 3. Click on the three little dots to the right of it 4. Select "Send Feedback" 5. Click on "Gulf Of America" 6. Select "Inaccurate content" 7. Select "Incorrect" and type in "The correct name is “Gulf of Mexico"

I am always encouraged when major media outlets address Active Towns adjacent themes. This fantastic @cnbc.com video features the Active Towns Podcast veteran @norton.bsky.social, as well as scholars @gregshill.com and @egoldwyn.bsky.social Give it watch and pass it along youtu.be/egD1ZoRrpVw

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

Bernie Sanders: "They will use the enormous media operations they own to deflect attention away from the impact of their policies while they entertain us to death."

Contrary to popular belief, Democrats aren't powerless right now. There are parliamentary guerrilla tactics that Senate Democrats can use to slow, stall, and obstruct MAGA at every turn: indivisible.org/reso...

So let me get this straight…he’s banning trans women from playing in women’s sports, but is not banning trans men from playing in men’s sports? He just hates trans women. The hate and outright fear this administration has for people that are “not like them” is absolutely disgusting.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

I did a paint and brunch with some co-workers yesterday. Needed this sort of therapy with all that is going on. Also, I pull a card of inspiration every morning before I journal. It read,”I recognize that I have chosen fear and I choose again. I choose love.” Need to remind myself of that.

Please repost to join this apt apology to our neighbors.

For a photo op & a bragging media post, Trump minions at the USACoE have thrown away millions of gals of #water farmers were relying on for later this year. This water will not be captured, will not be useful for cities or farms or firefighting. It is now lost. www.latimes.com/environment/...

What?!

So a white guy flying a plane crashed into a white guy flying a helicopter because a bunch of white guys decided to gut air safety and none of them could communicate with each other. But it's Black peoples fault?

Little by little….

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

"[A] democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism—ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power." - FDR (1938)

He hid it all for so long. Those Nazi salutes must have felt so good to him.

Have a fabulous Saturday from Kahlua.

If you’re in an institution doing any kind of DEI work, the most important thing to do right now is simply call it something else. Change it to “Community Outreach” & then keep on doing the same important work. When they outlaw Community Outreach rebrand it as “Strategic Partnerships,” rinse/repeat.

PSA.

On this day, 100 yrs ago, cars were given priority over pedestrians in the streets of the US. It began Jan. 24, 1925, when the 1st "jaywalker" was arrested in Los Angeles. Until then, it had been a city of walkers, with an extensive street railway network. Victim shaming started right away... 🚶‍♂️🧵

Disgusting. We need to fight the super wealthy. We do that by voting in lawmakers that will stand up to the oligarchy and kleptocracy.

Bluesky is built on an open source protocol that can be moved to another server once they start federation capabilities. Meaning baddies can buy the company but you could move your account somewhere else. If we can do that for YouTube TikTok etc then a few evil nerds wouldn't control our brains

Heads up for the Weather Community! You can now find NOAA (@noaa.gov), NOAA Climate (@climate.noaa.gov) & NWS HQ (@nws.noaa.gov; still being set up) on Bluesky!

Very accurate article. apple.news/A-2LV4YZzT2q...

It really is sad that the working class has been so massively brainwashed that we believe that we have to protect the wealthy in order to secure any type of stability for ourselves.
