Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Of course stocks are tumbling in this unstable, scary environment led by ignorant, unstable people. Countless Americans fired, programs we rely on shuttered. Trump has alienated allies & trade partners. Stupid tariffs loom & with them higher inflation. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/b...

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Germans have been subjected to covert Russian propaganda as well as overt American propaganda - jointly in support of the far-right www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/w...

Always stand up to a bully

Remember Rosie the Riveter? She’s thriving in Ukraine.

Donald Trump — The House resolution "implements my FULL America First Agenda, EVERYTHING, not just parts of it." The House plan slashes $880 billion from Medicaid—TRUMP OWNS THIS!!! Democrats need to speak out now—LOUDLY. Don’t Cut My Medicaid 📢

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

I am trying to imagine the reaction of Joe Biden or Barack Obama had spoken to a Republican governor in this way at a public event. I just can’t. None of us can.

The Supreme Court, in its first ruling on President Trump’s use of executive power during his second term, decided that he cannot, for now, dismiss the government lawyer leading the watchdog agency responsible for protecting whistle-blowers.

WATCH: “When will you stand up to them and say that is enough?” WISCONSIN Republicans Grothman & Fitzgerald run into tough town hall crowds also 👇🏽👀

Starting to think the right’s mEmE KiNg WhO LeGaLiZeD CoMedY is actually just a whiny little bitch with a fragile ego.

We are already at the ‘purging the generals and replace them with loyalists’ part of the Trump second term, just five weeks in. Totally normal. Not dangerous at all

Vance’s culture-war tirade against the Europeans was not only pointlessly confrontational and ill-informed; it was also delivered at a moment when lectures on democracy from America have inevitable “Physician, heal thyself” overtones. ICYMI @cathyyoung63.bsky.social:

📚 WATCH: “I can’t do much, but I can do this.” As Rutherford County and other districts ban hundreds of books, a SMYRNA book store owner is offering banned books for free. #BannedBooksBrigade Full: www.newschannel5.com/news/how-one...

so @chatterton.bsky.social’s position is basically that i am a cult leader and that all of you are mindless hordes who have no actual thoughts and do not engage with substance

We should all applaud Judge Ho’s appointment of former Bush SG Paul Clement to present a perspective distinct from those of the indicted NYC Mayor Eric Adams and the Trumpservient DOJ prosecutor Emil Bove. Well played! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/n...

"The beauty of nature! Exploring different types of birds. Which one is your favorite?"

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Brown had to go - he was serving his country while black.

JUST IN: “A federal judge in Maryland on Friday blocked the Trump administration from terminating federal grants and contracts related to DEI as called for in executive orders signed by President Donald Trump.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

WOAH 😮 Eric Adams sues Trump over missing $80M www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Deer loves getting brushed..🦌😍

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

Yep

Research shows that LGBTQ+ inclusion can drive economic activity. Open For Business’ latest report shows the economic case for LGBTQ+ Inclusion in Poland: open-for-business.org/poland

This is a shameful way to treat our fellow citizens who are public servants. This doesn’t make America great.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

The EU stepping in when the Russian compromised leader of the United States won't.

I heard someone compare Trump’s mass firings to him being a bull in a china shop. I disagree. Trump is a like a bull in a VA hospital. Trump is like a bull in an assisted living facility. Trump is like a bull in an Alzheimer’s research center. Trump is like a bull in a NICU.

"The United States and NATO can counter Putin’s criminal action and restore international order—not just in Europe, but anywhere an aggressive, authoritarian country might be considering a land-grab." All we have to do is do it. ICYMI @markhertling.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/marco-rubi...

firing for "too much DEI" is plainly firing a woman and a Black man on the presumption only white men can be qualified. this is disgusting biogtry.

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

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

If you're naked on the front porch and the neighbors can't see you, it's rural. If you're naked and the neighbors call the cops, it's suburban. If you're naked and the neighbors ignore you, it's urban. If you're naked on the front porch and your neighbor is also naked, it's Florida.

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

It’s a cult.

It was always Rand Paul’s destiny to be the last man to board the political Titanic and the first one to shove a woman out of the way to take the last seat on a lifeboat.
