A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an โ€œeconomic blackout.โ€ I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

Fealty to Donald Trump will not spare you from his cruelty. It's strength โ€” not weakness โ€” that curbs his baser instincts. Now is the time for us to be strong.

We the peopleโ€ฆ.have the power!! Letโ€™s never forget that!

THIS is the pilot you want in this environment.

Is this the finding out part?

โ€œOPM does not have any authority whatsoever, under any statute in the history of the universe to hire and fire employees within another agency." Judge Alsup may have had enough.

Imagine being this stupid?

Im excited to take place in the economic blackout boycott tomorrow. I hope you'll join me and millions of others.

Maybe instead of purging the Social Security workers who make sure seniors get their checks on time, we should be expanding benefits to make life a little easier for your parents and grandparents.

It really is reasonable to ask how we could possibly ever forgive our fellow Americans for voting for what is happening to us right now and what is going to continue to happen for years and years. I mean the simple answer would be... we just don't, right? Ever? Because some things are unforgivable?

Ruhle: Do you consider yourselves left-wing media? Jordy Meiselas: We cast a big umbrella here, and more so than anything, I consider ourselves unapologetically pro-democracy. If you're pro-Constitution, pro-upholding norms, and pro-democracy, there's a spot for you on our roster.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. ๐Ÿคฌ ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ #24HourEconomicBlackout

This whole country wants bad things for others more than they want good things for themselves.

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

So he was drunk or lying.

When I saw the disgusting "trump Gaza" video this morning, the bile rose to my throat. I won't share it. Instead, help me promote this counter narrative by Tala, from Gaza. "Gaza is not yours to take. Gaza is ours, and we are still here. This is our land." BRAVO to her strength and DEFIANCE. ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ’ช

A trifecta.

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

Congrats @meidastouch.com !!! www.newsweek.com/meidas-touch...

Get in good trouble, necessary trouble.

Those of us on Social Security or Social Security Disability DEPEND on local offices & the customer service line. The wait at BOTH of these is already UNACCEPTABLE; I've waited up to 3 hours to speak with a Customer Service Representative. Terminating 45 offices is sending the MESSAGE: WE DON'T GAF!

โ™ฟSocial Security is NOT just for Seniors. It's also for people like me with Disabilities, people who receive Survivors Benefits & Veterans who receive Social Security benefits. Before I became disabled, I PAID into the program with EVERY paycheck. There are MILLIONS more like me & it is OUR MONEY!โ™ฟ

Amy Gleason is the acting administrator of the DOGE. Please donโ€™t be distracted by thisโ€”it was only done because federal judges were questioning who was actually running the operation. Gleason is completely controlled by Musk, and he is doing this to avoid testifying.

DEI has been replaced with DAF (Dumb As Fuck).

Rep. Suozzi: 26% of the federal workforce are veteransโ€”26%. What about their service to this country? We encouraged them to apply for these jobs, and now weโ€™re just taking away their livelihoods? Itโ€™s not just chaotic, itโ€™s not just cruelโ€”itโ€™s unconstitutional.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

I have decided to cancel my show at The Kennedy Center on May 11, 2025 and move it to The Anthem.

Hope! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

Brave to @jeffstein.bsky.social, WaPo's chief economics correspondent, for not wasting any time in stating what must be stated. Hopefully the first of many.

Chief Diversity Officer Keith Woods announced he'll retire after a 46-year career in journalism and 15 years at NPR, as the issue he has championed takes center stage in political discourse. By @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social

Cutting $880 billion from Medicaid is going to have a lot of devastating consequences for a lot of people

Jeffries: And don't come to the house floor and act like this was being done in the fiscal responsibility. Enough. There is nothing in the Republican track record to suggest to the American people that you are the party of fiscal responsibility. Absolutely nothing.

Facts not fiction

Maddow tries to shake Jeffries into meeting the moment: "Policy doesn't feel like the main convoโ€ฆwe are in the middle of a Ketamine-fueled autocratic power grab rendering Congress irrelevant, making the rule of law an afterthought if not a jokeโ€: Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGe93bq...

Omg. This is horrifying. Congresswoman Kelly Morrison just revealed that Medicaid covers HALF of the kids in the United states, more than 40% of the births โ€” and Republicans want it gone. The Republican funding bill impacts ALL OF US.
