Over 1,000 people showed up in Framingham to make clear that we’re fired up and ready to fight back against every terrible policy Donald Trump and Elon Musk throw at us. 📸 John Walker

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

"Outside [House Democratic Leader Jeffries' Chicago book event,] protesters chanted, “We don’t need a book tour” and called on Jeffries to “stand up right now” to the Trump-Musk assault... As much as I’m in favor of authors promoting their work, this is no time for a book tour." ~David Corn

Minnesota is leading the way on combatting climate change, and we’re creating clean energy jobs in the process. www.startribune.com/xcel-says-it...

Today for the last day of the 2025 #Virginia General Assembly session, we passed HB 1600: our amendments to the biennium budget. Significantly, Virginia taxpayers will receive $200 (single) / $400 (joint) refunds this fall, an increase in the Standard Deduction and a higher EITC refund rate. #valeg

Keep calling your Senators and tell them to protect Medicaid!

Be sure to catch NDP Chair and ASDC President @janekleeb.bsky.social tomorrow morning on MSNBC at 8:30 AM. Watch her discuss many topics related to where we as Democrats go from here, state party investments, and how to get involved to fight the chaos from the Trump Admin. #NebDems

“While in this moment of emergency we must fight to preserve the democracy we have, reform & rethinking will be needed to achieve the democracy we want for the future. The chaos, corruption & misery will be hard but every day more eyes will be opened to the truth” open.substack.com/pub/lucid/p/...

Three things. 1. Let our allies in other countries know that we support them.2. Participate in boycotts. 3. Find a place for joy and enthusiasm in your day. Those are both forms of resistance. Love your neighbors. We can do this.

Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121

What started as a rumor, turned into almost 300 people strong 💪! The more we cross-collaborate & share information, the more our numbers will grow & the louder our voices get! We 👀 some of our signs in the crowd 🤭! 🪧🗣️🪧 connecticut.news12.com/nearly-300-d...

“The Dems won’t mount a serious defense against fascism because they benefit from the SAME SYSTEMS OF POWER that Republicans do…Fascism REQUIRES Dems to be just passive enough to let the country burn while PRETENDING they tried to stop it.” — Dr. Stacey Patton 👏👏👏

Our latest: The Resistance is alive and well and angry. Please consider reading and sharing. No paywall.

🇺🇸 Watch this. This is a part of our country’s history that I did NOT know. Horrible. We must teach all American History not just Northern European American History. I will Not sit down! I will Not shut up! I oppose this Authoritarian MAGA Republican Administration. 🇺🇸 youtu.be/AORz0OgEVHI?...

Donald Trump has started banning books. Last week, he ordered schools on military bases or run by the military to remove “Freckleface Strawberry," a children's book of a girl learning to love her freckles. They also banned "No Truth Without Ruth," a children's book about Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

1. Despite Republican attacks in recent years, America is queerer than ever before. LGBTQ+ identification has risen to 9.3% in the last Gallup Poll, a huge jump from 7.6% last year. I cover the latest numbers in my story. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Hey. You should text/call/voice-note some friends just because. Don't just DM silly videos. Check in with them. We all need some genuine connection right now!

“This is truly a national tragedy and one that is being executed by people who do not understand the value of scientific research.” 🧪 from @science.org

In case you were wondering!

Exactly right

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

This. Play it on repeat. Our job is to keep going…

👇

This is a serious and blatant disregard for our free and fair election system. We must resist Trump's efforts to stay in power through these illegal executive orders!

I mean this. When Shillace’s book comes available, everyone should read it. One of the most incredible histories of the rise of fascism in Germany and the trans people who lived there. The stories are incredible and the things she uncovered are indispensable.

Tonight, Senate Republicans are charging ahead with their budget proposal. They’re making clear who matters to them: billionaires and giant corporations.  And who does not: working families.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

Wondering if KY House GOP Speaker Osborne finally realized that giving a far-right fanatic and documented antisemite a seat at the table comes with consequences.

Ruhle: The left-leaning podcast MeidasTouch has just done the unthinkable—dethroned Joe Rogan to become the country’s most popular podcast…

I keep seeing people just do something they think maybe would be helpful and watching that snowball and it's just amazing. Don't wait for permission, don't wait to be invited. Pick something you think needs to happen and that you can do, and do that thing.

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

This morning, my colleagues and I stood in front of FBI headquarters to make it clear to everyone who wants an FBI focused on violent crime and not on political retribution: Kash Patel would be a disaster as FBI Director.

Kentucky -- COLD WEATHER ADVISORY ends 10:00 AM. Friday, Fri, Feb 21 Very cold wind chills as low as zero to ten above zero expected. Clay, Floyd, Harlan, Knott, Leslie, Letcher, Perry, and Pike Counties.

Just visited with scientists at @uwmadison.bsky.social. Trump’s action to gut the National Institute of Health will make it harder to get cures for diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's and will even stop active research projects... (1/2)

I saw firsthand the incredible work Head Start does, providing child care for families who need it most. Out-of-touch billionaires like Trump and Musk want to slash funding for programs like this for a $4.5 billion tax cut for their ultra-rich buddies.

I'm hosting a press conference on the Republican Rip Off with Wisconsin State Senator Dianne Hesselbein and Wisconsin State Representative Greta Neubauer at 10am CT today. Watch live at wiseye.org?p=31102.

"This is literally the family farm on the line." Donald Trump has left Kentucky farmers in the lurch — forcing them to lose out on millions of dollars in conservation funding that Democrats previously delivered.

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” ~ Edmund Burke #SpeakUp #FightBack indivisible.org/muskorus

this is absolutely right, it's a gleeful dehumanization that is both demonic and strategic

NO KINGS DAY. Hundreds gathered in Millennium Park, Chicago to protest the Trump-Musk coup and the dictatorial edicts bent on destroying our health, our security, our communities, our democracy. This event was organized by the @50501movement.bsky.social

What we are witnessing is a coup. It’s time to call it what it is. Thanks @ccohope.bsky.social @indiviswestchester.bsky.social @indivisibleulster.bsky.social @indivisrockland.bsky.social @indiviswestchester.bsky.social @IndivisibleYorktownNY Plus @leahgreenberg.bsky.social @ezralevin.bsky.social
