In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

I gave my bit - if we all do .......

Another shakedown: U.S. negotiators pressing Kyiv for access to Ukraine's critical minerals have raised the possibility of cutting the country's access to Elon Musk's vital Starlink satellite internet system, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

He’s doing a golf cart parade at his own club. What a pathetic jackass.

I donated. You should, too

Let's be clear: CQ Brown was fired because Trump and Hegseth couldn't see past his skin color. General Brown has 40 years of distinguished service. Trump and Hegseth just want yes men who look like them. This is destabilizing for our nation.

Elon Musk's maternal grandparents relocated from Canada to South Africa in the early 1900s, where they were in the German Nazi Party. They supported Hitler and then went to South Africa, a stronghold of support for Nazism outside of Germany. Musk was an anti-semite and an apartheid lover.

If you don’t think Trump is taking over the US Mail to do away with mail-in voting, you haven’t been paying attention.

Pretty sure people are not going to not remember firing the Joint Chiefs chairman and all the senior JAGs over the weekend, if that's what this Friday night gambit is all about. Pretty sure people are going to notice.

"unprecedented purge of military leadership" How do you UNDERSTATE this AS IT FUCKING HAPPENS?!

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.

As the GOP pushes their Tax Scam they plan to kill health care coverage for children and the poorest Americans. All so their billionaire donors can profit. Don't Cut My Medicaid #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Friends . All media coverage of LA fires has completely disappeared. We have friends like @electroboyusa.bsky.social working day & night trying to support friends affected by fires . Please donate if you can . Please repost & keep reposting. It’s like America has turned their backs on these victims.

As Gernot Wagner said over on Mastodon, Shutting down already installed infrastructure isn't "efficiency," it's sabotage. electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

oh boy -- Rich McCormick bailed on CNN after his ill-fated town hall

When you call them out they run and hide. They know they're spineless fucks, and they know we're pissed! They. Know.

He canceled on CNN an hour b4 his appearance. Cowards. My God. They always worried about everyone else's sexuality, when they need to find their own BALLS! 🙄😒

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Judge Susan Crawford in Wisconsin needs to run a huge ad campaign about Elon Musk trying to buy this judicial election against MAGA McGee. Elon's unfavorables are very high right now, and people are getting tired of billionaires buying elections.

PORTLAND: Tesla will be exhibiting vehicles at the Oregon International Auto Show, starting today and running through the end of the weekend. People use this event to survey the market for new vehicles ahead of purchasing, so it's an ideal place to interrupt potential new Tesla sales. #TeslaTakedown

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

Military Brass and JAG purge is very ominous

BREAKING: Sen. Ron Wyden sounds the alarm that Trump approves of the House budget resolution -- the only way they can meet their $880 billion in cuts is by cutting hundreds of billions from Medicaid, a disaster for millions. Make sure everyone sees this.

#ResistanceUnited #Voices4Victory Meta laid off 5% of its workforce, then a week later more than doubled its executive bonuses from 75% of 200% of base pay. Kinda like what's happening with the federal government. Still think billionaires are on your side? Then I've got a bridge to sell you.

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

4 ex-Dem grifters who all came to realize the Dems weren't gullible enough.

A nurse-midwife in southwest Virginia says 1/2 of her patients depend on Medicaid. Cutting Medicaid will result in rural hospitals closing or they will reduce important services. Medical debt will increase, and serious health issues will go undiagnosed or treated too late. #ProtectMedicaid

Here it is! Our full 25 minute interview with former NFL punter Chris Kluwe @chriswarcraft.bsky.social about his decision to tell off his MAGA city council - mic drop after mic dop - and then get arrested following an an act of civil disobedience. youtu.be/Pprrm6TYmZU

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

In Tennessee and Mississippi, 20% of the residents are on Medicaid. Thats 1.4 million in Tennessee and 600k in Mississippi. These people stand to lose their healthcare so that billionaires can buy more yachts... #DontCutMyMedicaid social.demcast.com/s/qy1RUbEP
