TAX THE CHURCHES TAX THE RICH REMOVE THE CAP FROM SOCIAL SECURITY CONTRIBUTIONS HANDS OFF OF SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, MEDICAID AND SNAP AGREE? ✋

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

The Trump administration is canceling presentations including book talks on important civil rights issues at the Carter Center & possibly elsewhere. Let’s celebrate these authors by buying & reading their books. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/a...

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)

America is safer & stronger when it works closely with democratic allies Our alliance w Europe is in peril—but citizens, media, & civil society can push back We explain how in our Democracy Playbook 2025👇-TN www.brookings.edu/articles/dem...

NEW: Trump’s FEMA administrator just sent out an email ordering all employees to stop sending things to the media without prior authorization. It was immediately sent to me by a FEMA employee without prior authorization to share with you.

All over today. This is NYC.

If you read one thing today read our latest piece we just posted. This one is a very important one. Please consider reading and sharing it with your friends, family, and neighbors. And as always, please share your thoughts and ideas. I am also going to post all of the text here as a thread. 1/

Knowledge is power…

If you’re a Trump voter and you’ve been fired from your job as a civil servant, contact me using the info in my bio. I’ll keep you anonymous.

I’ll be clipping an “Elon Musk: Hands Off Our Social Security” rally at the Social Security Administration today as part of my partnership with @snapstream.com, featuring speeches from Sens. Chris Van Hollen and Angela Alsobrooks. Follow this thread for clips and commentary.

BREAKING: we just blocked Musk & Trump out of the Treasury systems! Court order just secured — big win by us at @sddaction.bsky.social & our partners including @publiccitizen.bsky.social!

First, thank you to Senate Democrats who held the floor over 20 hours to protest Vought’s nomination. But we need ALL Democrats showing up. Missing important votes like this one to subpoena Elon is not acceptable. Reps. Ro Khanna and Kweisi Mfume were no shows. We lost the vote 20-19. Call them!

They shut them down there. Let’s follow them here. Pass it along. https://bsky.app/profile/altusaid.bsky.social

NEW: You can help federal workers! We are fundraising for legal expenses. I have applied for non-profit status so your pledge could be tax deductible! Help support and defend our civil servants here, and please share widely 🙏 Patreon.com/fedoath

Our people across #MD08 are rightly demanding answers about President Trump's systematic destruction of federal programs and the civil service. Federal workers—I'm convening a webinar on the latest developments and resources to fight back. Sign up to gain access upon its release:

Outside of USAID headquarters, Senator Brian Schatz: "If you want to change an agency, introduce a bill and pass a law. You cannot wave away an agency that you don't like or that you disagree with by executive order, or by literally storming into the building and taking over the servers." BOOM!

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."

Thank you, Canada!

Yes. Finally, some meaningful pushback against these constitutional outlaws. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

FAFO, senator. You did this. You made this monster.

Do yourself and democracy a favor. Support independent media.

These are the dems that voted to confirm the guy that just handed the Treasury to Musk: Blunt Rochester Booker Cantwell Coons Fetterman Gallego Gillibrand Hassan Hickenlooper Kaine Kelly King (Independent) Peters Shaheen Slotkin Warner

Oh. The LA Times is editing out negative parts of an article about RFK Jr. that say he's unfit for Secretary of Health and Human Services. If you haven't canceled your subscription already, you should.

If you’re a government employee, thank you for your service & here’s a resource you may find helpful. Stay strong. www.civilservicestrong.org

This post from @kkjetelina.bsky.social is a good reminder - 1, the pain & chaos are intended, and 2, we do have power. yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/p/power-also...

Sen. Thom Tillis will be remembered by history as a coward. For not, let us work to see that he is defeated in Nov. 2026.
