Uhhhhhh www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Remarkable: Trump's own pollster just found that in swing House districts, Dems lead by 5 points and voters want tax policy to prioritize working people, per Politico. Yet GOP is about to brutally slash the safety net and give the rich huge tax cuts! New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1918...

The NYTimes apparently didn’t even consider Bannon’s Nazi salute at CPAC to be newsworthy until the far-right French politicians tried to distance themselves from it. And even then, the headline is “Bannon Salute, Echoing Musk, Draws Criticism from French Right”.

This thread is full of good advice. When I say "do more" to legislators, I do it because they can afford to be arrested or threatened with arrest and make a big stink about it that media is likely to cover, getting the general public's eyes and minds on the issues. Your arrest won't do that.

This is an excellent and timely factsheet on Ukraine, U.S. v. European security assistance, and other misunderstood or lied about aspects of the war, by our friends at @thestudyofwar.bsky.social. I'll summarize a few main points below, with additional sources of my own:

Republican events for a month now (including Inauguration Day!) have featured a prominent Nazi salute & legacy media outlets ignore it. Seems like a trend worth covering, no? Maybe access to the Nazi party shouldn't be prioritized??

Firing 7000 IRS agents will make it even easier for the rich to get away with skirting what they owe. But it's also a gift to the multi-billion dollar tax prep industry. Fewer IRS agents to help you file your taxes means more money in the pockets of companies like TurboTax.

"just as the general public can’t enter the kitchen or the manager’s office, neither can ICE without a judicial warrant giving them explicit permission. “You should consider placing signage indicating certain areas as ‘private’ to distinguish them from public areas in advance of any ICE raid,”

Tesla is recalling more than 375,000 vehicles due to a power steering issue.

Wrote a little something in the mighty @rollingstone.com about #TeslaTakedown. In anticipation of our upcoming second weekend of protests! Join or create an event for ANY day and ANY country at Teslatakedown.com. Download our flyers and background to get informed and get involved!

The student who ripped this sign down did more for trans people than most of our politicians.

A pundit tried to argue with @jamellebouie.net just yesterday that Trump isn’t trying to resegregate the bureaucracy. But this stuff would make Woodrow Wilson proud.

With news floating around about a plan to move USPS into the Commerce Department, we seem to have found my lane. So let’s talk about the #PostOffice. /1

I always feel very “King of the castle King of the castle” when I get the back section of the bus to myself lmao

real possibility the state of oregon will not have a single federal republican member of congress by the time the next midterms are settled

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Friends - we will be doing additional content on this Monday. But a quick primer on what you need to know about Measles, from a recent segment. Stay vigilant, stay informed. youtube.com/watch?v=XNZP...

Got himself arrested on purpose while telling his city council to not put a MAGA plaque on the library because MAGA = Nazis. It worked, producing media coverage. Baller. ✊ www.latimes.com/socal/daily-...

How many paragraphs do you think @apnews.com writes before mentioning that the white 3-Star General Trump plans to install (after firing the Black 4-Star Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) isn't even legally eligible for the job? apnews.com/article/trum...

Just had an excellent interview with @advocate.com, and I really think this one is worth your time to read.

Biden 2021: It would violate norms to fire Louis DeJoy. Trump 2025: The United States Postal Service belongs to me now.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

BREAKING: We just won an order to stop Elon Musk and DOGE from accessing your personal, private data while we continue fighting them in court. This is why we fight — no one is above the law.

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

At events from Georgia and Wisconsin to Oklahoma and Oregon, House Republicans faced sometimes-hostile crowds furious about the sweeping budget cuts and mass firings of federal workers that President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE are carrying out.

Replace "western" with "white" and "unvetted" with "non-white," and you'll understand exactly what he's saying here.

Midwestern public service announcement: in very cold weather a slice of cheap-ass bologna will freeze to a car and damage the finish in a way that can't be buffed out. Especially a car that's allegedly stainless steel that gets discolored by ordinary rain! Source: (REDACTED)

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

“Shortly after Friday’s exchange, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) announced that it launched a Title IX violation investigation into Maine’s Department of Education and one of its school districts.”

BREAKING: The Associated Press sues three Trump administration officials over access to presidential events, citing the First Amendment.

A massive, self-inflicted wound on American higher education.

Sure would be nice if the U.S. continued funding stuff like “vaccines for pancreatic cancer.”

100% and I need everyone to understand right now that there is only one solution: people need to start getting their asses kicked in public again

Federal workers launch a new site to share inside information about DOGE

Reporter @owillis.bsky.social saw a too-perfect quote from a Black voter -- ID'd as an AI worker -- in an NYT quoteboard. So he did checked -- and voila, turns out the guy is a flak for Houston Young Republicans. NYT stealth-edited the guy's bio the next day. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
