Jack Schlossberg pushes back on Gavin Newsom’s messaging that the Democratic Party is “toxic”

Signs from #teslatakedown in Santa Clara. Great turnout.

Not to be believed. Horrible person.

Pete Hegseth should resign. He texted war plans to a reporter at The Atlantic. Hegseth is a danger to this country and our men and women in uniform.

This is a coup. They want to remake American government in the image of places like Russia—no checks and balances, no constitution. Elon is right at the heart of this assault, funding it with the wealth he built on Tesla stock. Let's show him what we think of it. #teslatakedown

The fight against President Musk is just starting. We’re mobilizing to show the strength of our movement. Together, we have the power to stop MAGA’s takeover. app.sosha.ai/s/mdjQAvra

We are very close to a near cure for two of the highest-mortality cancers we know: glioblastoma and pancreatic cancer. These are both mRNA based treatments which are losing their funding during stage I and II trials. Thousands will die needlessly because of this motherfucker and his lies.

NEW: For the seventh week in a row, Target foot traffic has dropped: for the week of March 10, traffic fell 7.1% YoY for Target. Conversely: Costco’s foot traffic gain was the near-inverse of Target’s loss: It was up 7%. www.retailbrew.com/stories/2025...

Trump has rescinded a proclamation that established the Chuckwalla National Monument and the Sáttítla National Monument in California.

See you Monday in Charm City, Chuck!

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

By supporting this NOT CLEAN CR, you are literally empowering Trump Musk and them to continue to dismantle the government and fire civil servants. So, is it really about a shutdown? They are already shutting it down!

Yes, JFC. If Dems get blamed for wanting a clean bill, it's the fault of the press and headlines like this. Do better @npr.org

International Women's Day protest in San Jose. Good to see both Rep Sam Liccardo and Rep @rokhanna.bsky.social there. #InternationalWomensDay

Both 100% immoral, evil, disgusting and show a complete lack of empathy for fellow human beings. It is exactly the same and anyone who says it isn’t is a bad person. Thanks @qasimrashid.com

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

"The days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over," Trump says, as Elon looks on from the gallery.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Elon Musk is gaslighting America with his Social Security being a "Ponzi Scheme" LIE. It's absolutely OUTRAGEOUS & DESPICABLE. He & Donald Trump are DELIBERATELY undermining confidence in Social Security when the TRUTH is it delivers benefits accurately & timely 99.7%. SOCIAL SECURITY IS OUR MONEY!

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

Anyone affiliated with a University in any way should start preparing for the National Day of Action for Higher Education on April 17th, 2025. Go to the website for more info — They are doing lots of Zoom organizing calls beforehand too.

Many grassroots groups joined together today in Palo Alto to protest Musk's takeover of the government for billionaires. #teslatakedown

Many people seem to think that certain things 'aren't enough' and so either don't do anything or are discouraged. To me, this is part of a learned helplessness AND also part of all or nothing thinking [very USian]. Doing small things ALL OF THE TIME is better than one big thing one time [maybe].+

Our local Swing Left slash Indivisible meeting was packed tonight. Love the energy! @indivisible.org @swingleft.bsky.social

I hate doing anything. And I'm going to actually do stuff for #teslatakedown

Nothing about kids dying from measles is normal. Anti-vaxxers like RFK Jr. and the Republicans who enable them are responsible for every single one of these deaths.

What the hell

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Send a message to giant companies ripping us off. On Feb. 28, don't shop online, in big box stores, no Amazon, no Walmart, no Best Buy, fast food nor gas. Just one day will send a powerful message. Think they'll miss our DEI dollars? Don't spend. Then, let them know why.

REMEMBER: THIS Friday, February 28. NOT 1 PENNY SPENT. We can DO this. I'm IN, are YOU?

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

If you aren’t willing to take some risks, stop kidding yourself about “doing whatever I can to preserve democracy.” That’s just playing it safe, and nothing notable ever happened by citizens playing it safe. We can have mo silenced voices. None.

🚨 WANT TO HELP US STAND UP FOR SCIENCE? 🚨 Here's a little update on where we're currently at with the planning process! Is your state red or grey & you want to see an event happen? Fill out our volunteer form or share with a friend! airtable.com/app4h5wUssMG... #standupforscience2025

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: It’s 4am—still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway. We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no. So we tried $100m. Every Repub voted no. So we tried $500m! Every Republican a no. See what’s going on?

Make sure these people are never able to eat in public again

COOL JOB ALERT: We're looking for a senior leader to take on Indivisible's media operations, particularly with experience in the non-mainstream media space (influencers, podcasts, etc). Only downside is you have to work with me. Please apply or tell people to apply! jobs.lever.co/indivisible/...

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

Big crowd in San Jose for 50501 rally and march. No sign of our elected Democratic reps. Where is @liccardo.house.gov ?

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?
