And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

I was set to launch my book at the Carter Library next month. This week, we were told all events now need approval from the National Archives. The next day, my event was forced to relocate. A book about the working homeless. A book about civil rights. Apparently these topics are now off limits.

This is far closer to government censorship than whatever people thought “cancel culture“ was. It was so gross to watch the mainstream media fall for that trope from the people most likely to actually do what they are doing now.

exactly

YES

A king sending his troops to quell unruly Bostonians is a decision that always works out great for the king, historically speaking.

AZ AG Kris Mayes: This is a coup by Trump against our Constitution, because they are violating not only the separation of powers but also the court orders We have federal judges saying to Donald Trump and Elon Musk, “Stop this now,” and yet we believe they are violating those orders.

Rarely has so much ignorance & ahistorical BS been crammed into a single tweet. I know JD Vance & Donald Trump are busy surrendering to a KGB butcher, abandoning the cause of freedom, & destroying the security of America & her allies, but they'd do well to spend some time actually studying history.

'Truly stunning': GOP-led lawsuit that could dismantle disability protections draws outrage: A push by Republican attorneys general in 17 states to strike down part of a federal law that protects disabled people from discrimination has prompted an outcry from advocates, parents and some local…

🚨BREAKING: @democracyforward.org sues on behalf of unions, retirees to block access to personal and sensitive data at SSA. This case comes after SSA commissioner stepped down due to concerns about DOGE accessing data. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

The worst part of this North Korean style sycophancy is that we all know Lutnick doesn’t believe a word of this and Trump knows Lutnick doesn’t believe a word of this.

Joan Baez is a national treasure. 🙌

Perfect And yeah #lgm

Did you know that 72 MILLION Americans rely on Medicaid for healthcare? The Trump Administration and MAGA Republicans in Congress want to take it away to give tax breaks to billionaires. Don't let them take away our healthcare. Let them know you didn’t vote for this shit.

NEW: A federal judge blocked Trump’s effort to stop funding grants and contracts that have DEI components, saying it is likely viewpoint discrimination and worded so vaguely that it will chill free speech. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

really great to see

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublica’s analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

Un-fucking-believable that the AP has to sue the First Felon for the right to call the Gulf of Mexico by its proper name

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

From 1980 until the pandemic, top earners in the US saw real wages grow at more than double the rate of every other income group The top income TAX rate has fallen from 70% in 1979 to 37% today These 2 factors (and others) have shifted $50T from the middle class to the wealthy

The allegations of Trump's KGB links are mounting up... bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

👇🏻This! OMG 😳

Unions for federal workers have filed a lawsuit to block Trump's mass firings of probationary federal employees — alleging that officials are exploiting and misusing the probationary period. The unions say the firings are "one of the most massive employment frauds in the history of this country."

OF COURSE the SEC is dropping the case against Coinbase - Trump loves his fellow scammers

Listen to @lqlana.bsky.social. Elon’s puppet, F47, is stealing our money, but, he’ll try to fool you by giving you a pittance. To some, 5K will seem like a windfall, but in reality, you’re losing BIGLY.

Excellent work by CBS. We need a LOT more of this type of fact checking of DOGE data. Elon is pumping out hundreds of falsehoods every few days. Please media, please group together, share data, make an Anti-DOGE team of techies, meet together daily! www.cbsnews.com/news/doge-wa...

It's Tillis' JOB to vote the way his conscience tells him and say FUCK YOU to people who threaten him. I don't give a rat's ass who says what to him. You can't do the job honorably? Resign and let someone else do it.

I'm sure she's right!

@mehdirhasan.bsky.social1) Instead of calling hockey players, Donald Trump should go visit the families of the people who died in the largest aviation accident in nearly 16 years. 2) Bro is still babbling like a senile old man about Canada becoming the 51st state. No means no, Donald.
