We, The People are still in charge. View how everyday citizens are refusing to accept anything less. Get involved, stay engaged, and join The Contrarian’s pro-democracy revolution.

I never thought my grandchildren would be raised in a country allied with Russia…

We’ve mired them in mud. They’ll make some desperate attempts to get back on track, but they won’t succeed. The tide has turned, and the momentum is on our side.

The United States just voted against a United Nations resolution condemning Russia for invading Ukraine. The US sided with Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and the Grand Ayatollah of Iran.

Senator @jeffyarbro.bsky.social says Trump siding with Putin would have Reagan rolling in his grave, and Republicans need to “wake up” and stand up to what’s going on before it’s too late.

I don’t think “God has a plan” will pay a house note or put groceries on the table, Mark…

We need everyone to be all in…everyone

For those of you who watched the video of an Idaho woman experiencing handmaid‘s tale treatment, now is the time to decide what you would do in that situation—whether it's you or whether you're nearby when this happens to someone else. We are in a moment where we all have to decide who we are.

I think the Army Choir had a message for the Trumpists. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIQh...

Ohhh my god! This is small town, Missouri.

Democrats should be in rural and red areas right now. Talk to the folks and tell them who is hurting them. Right now. We are missing a massive opportunity…trust me on this. Get out here.

Missouri Congressman Mark Alford (R) got the exact warm reception he deserved at his coffee chat this morning. Not a moment of peace. #MoLeg

💪🏼💪🏼 my guy

The same GOP lawmakers who believe citizens should be armed to protect themselves from assault want the woman dragged from a public town hall in Idaho to be ticketed for biting the men who threw her to the floor, dragged her outside, and zip tied a man who tried to intervene.

Trump gets fact-checked by Macron in real time. Trump and Elon’s poll numbers continue to crash. Americans pack town halls—even in deep red districts—to confront their reps. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast live at 8p ET/5p PT!

Israeli-made surveillance technologies and “training expeditions” are accelerating the militarization of campus police departments across the US.

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

The sooner we collectively realize that Elon Musk is a shitposting, conspiracy-addled fool, who needs to stay out of public policy not upend it, the safer we’ll all be.

🔥 WATCH: “Anybody can violate the law. The Pope, The president, Any sonofabitch can violate the law — how bout that? That’s fascist bullshit. We have one law. Or we have chaos.” Rep. Joe Towns (D-MEMPHIS) let loose about Trump implying the law doesn’t apply to him.

A quote today from the great Julia Davis. If Europe hasn’t figured out that Trump is bringing our 80-year collective security friendship, which has served us all well, to an abrupt and catastrophic end, you know it today. You are on your own. Act accordingly.

A Missouri Representative has filed a bill to track pregnancies in the state. HB 807 will: "Maintain a central registry of each expectant mother who is at risk for seeking an abortion of her unborn child and make the same available to a prospective adoptive parent who has completed screenings."

🚨Elon Musk FIRED staff at FDA who were reviewing HIS Neuralink products—the corruption is blatant and outright. Trump & Musk’s arbitrary mass firings across FDA will severely undermine its work to keep Americans & our food supply safe & combat new threats, including bird flu.

The single greatest failure of the Democrats was not investigating this election.

I believe he is a danger to our nation, a threat to our safety, careless with our people, and reckless with his power. I believe America is less secure, less diverse, less compassionate, and less decent under his leadership. I will not obey him. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/i-do-not-o...

Authoritarian expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat: It's time to take our country back from Trump/Musk—and here is how. My new article based on my interview of Ruth who offers some very important lessons: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/authoritar...

Your friendly neighborhood librarian here...buy physical copies of your favorite books, especially challenged or banned books. Preferably from small local merchants. That's all; carry on. #Read #BookSky #Resist 📚

I watched “Number 24” about the Norwegian resistance the other day. Am watching “Watch on the Rhine” now. These stories are so darkly resonant now. I can’t help but wonder if they are more than that. Foreshadowings of choices we will all soon face. Am I being melodramatic? I fear I’m not.

To hell with Trump and Musk. Our grandparents and great grandparents and half a billion Americans didn't die defeating fascism, just so that we could allow a felon-rapist mobster and an unelected racist billionaire bring it here without opposition. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/its-time-t...

Republicans need to keep their dirty hands off our Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, it's completely off limits. Send your letters to Congress now: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Zelenskyy: "I will never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine. Never."

Zelenskyy calls for the creation of a #EuropeanArmy: “We must build the armed forces of Europe, so that Europe’s future depends only on Europeans,” the creation of a unified European force outside of NATO comes after the US elected a Russian asset making it no longer reliable or to be counted on.

Amen.

You cannot fire so many people and shutter so many agencies and services and not expect things to start to go very bad very quickly. Our job is to highlight not only the chaos and cruelty of the firings, but also the devastating consequences. The public must turn on this madness and soon.

That’s nothing. I found 13 contracts awarded to SpaceX since December totaling $77M. 1/

President Musk and Kennedy Center chairman Trump are stealing from us.

I messed up. At the CFPB rally, I said we had ~300 events at Senate offices across every state but Mississippi. That was wrong. Shout out to the 45 members of Indivisible Northeast Mississippi who showed up at Senator Wicker's offices in Tupelo! Thank you for the correction! That's 50 states + DC.

Thank you kids. "Dozens of American students at a U.S. military installation in Germany walked out of their middle school on Tuesday as part of protests aimed at an official visit by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth...." www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

There is going to come a time in the very near future where the only way to resolve this is for every non-MAGA media company to band together and simply refuse to walk into the presser or attend the event. Because he wants the coverage more than anything else. Divided you fall.

The stunning cowardice of the Republican Party in this moment will go down in the history books. They simply gave our government to a billionaire and cheered as it burned.
