You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Raise your ✋ and repost this if you're participating.

Wow! Check this out! Gov employees started a website to debunk the attacks on them! This is HUGE! www.wethebuilders.org

I always find it amazing that these stories come out after the point of no return. This is of little to no surprise as similar article was released years ago. bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

And that goes double for Facebook.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

American Medical Association is providing regular updates on bird flu and other infectious diseases on YouTube. I highly recommend subscribing to their page, especially since CDC has been axed by FOTUS #Voices4Victory m.youtube.com/user/AmerMed...

I did this today too. We all should. 💙

Memos have been distributed to instill fear, warning federal employees that layoffs will begin if not enough people accept Elon’s buyout. This no longer feels voluntary.

YES. Cynicism and negativity will NOT get us where we need to go. As understandable as it is to feel that way, we can’t live in that headspace. Democracy needs us to believe in it. 🇺🇸

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

If you're not from Michigan, you might not realize how amazing this is. Grand Rapids is pretty red. This is De Vos country we're talking about. Bravo Chief. www.mlive.com/news/grand-r...

I like this one

“While the Gulf of America will be applied to federal references, other nations will not be required to recognize the name.” The fact that they even think they need to say this points to massive hubris. It’s the Gulf of Mexico, no matter what the US says. www.cbsnews.com/news/interio...

I'm binge re-watching the first 3 seasons of The Handmaid's Tale; it's slightly less upsetting than current events, and has better background music.

If you’re not part of the resistance, you’re part of the problem. And stay out of the way of the people that actually care about this country and the human beings in it.

#Project2025 is here.

Read. Read books. Reading books is resistance. Buy. Buy books. Buying books is resistance. Share. Share books. Sharing books is resistance. Celebrate Celebrate books. Celebrating books is resistance.

Damn right. This is officially ridiculous. Beyond.

Great stuff here, please read and share! #KnowlegeIsPower 🇺🇸

Those fired IGs aren’t going gently. ✊

cute winter boots sale. Wear boots, don’t lick boots. Be safe #cutewinterboots

ATTN: VA EMPLOYEES. I would recommend against using the Office of Accountability & Whistleblower Protection. In 2019, the VA Inspector General found that Trump used OAWP to TARGET whistleblowers. Contact democrats on congressional veterans affairs committees instead.

So Target got real comfy thinking us millennial moms won’t take our basic girl bits to Costco & Aldi after they cut DEI programs to satisfy the new administration. Big mistake. Huge.

The good (wo)man scorns the wicked. I do not comply. #cutewinterboots #ICEyOutThere

If you don’t want to lose your TikTok tonight on your iPhone go into Settings/General and turn off iPhone updates. Once you up date your phone TikTok will be gone. New phones most likely won’t have it. And it’s no longer available in the App Store. If you search for it Instagram and FB pop up.

The truth of January 6th can't be erased. Watch the pardoned criminals brutally attacking police inside the Capitol and see what some call 'patriotism.' No spin, just facts. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/revisiting...

Tip from @snowjob.bsky.social If you have a whitehouse.gov link you want to access and it is down, try replacing "www.whitehouse.gov" with "bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov" The national archives is still doing its job for now.
