He nails it.

It shouldn’t be considered an act of bravery to stand up for what we already fought for.

A federal judge has extended the order keeping Elon Musk's DOGE out of Treasury Department payment systems, ruling that the Trump admin's process for granting access to the sensitive data was so flawed and haphazard that it was likely illegal.

Remember when having a really old president and questioning his mental acuity was front page news everyday for months?

JD Vance actually lectured Europe on democracy yesterday. No mention of this "summer of love" insurrection:

Anyone else see that Cybertruck stuck in the snow while the Honda Fit drives right past it? Pretty much sums up America vs rest of the world.

I have never doubted for one second that Trump is a rapist. The way he talks about Ukraine really confirms it. Ukraine sure as fuck wasn’t asking to be invaded.

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

Happy Friday Mighty Resisters! (if you'd rather I not incl. you on posts like this, pls just let me know & I'll delete). It's a beautiful day to #ResistTryanny ! @mcspocky.bsky.social @muellershewrote.bsky.social @sassysister27.bsky.social @jojofromjerz.bsky.social @kingresist.bsky.social

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

The GOP Tax Scam is here. MAGA is stealing 880 BILLION away from healthcare - (that's 92 million people) so that the wealthy can buy some more yachts.... Don't Cut My Medicaid

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Resisting comes in all forms. Here is a very creative one starting to pop up.

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

Elon Musk bought the government for 290 million dollars. He still has 400 Billion left to buy the rest of the world.

Brazil shows that it can be done. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

It took The Lancet, a premiere medical journal, 12 years to remove Wakefield’s fraudulent paper alleging that MMR vaccine causes autism. The damage from that one paper is incalculable. RFK Jr. is going to promote studies like this to the American people as fact. We’re going to lose a ton of ground.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

They’re eating your jobs, they’re eating your health care, and now they want to eat our social security 🤬

10% of NASA’s workforce has been laid off—guess that’ll be a boost for SpaceX.

Spring voting in Wisconsin. It seems trivial but we have a Supreme Court seat at stake. Get your asses out there. #Vote #Resist #Liberals

On this day, February 18, 1934, Audre Lorde was born. She was a renowned poet, essayist, and activist known for her powerful writings on civil rights, feminism, and the exploration of Black female identity.

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.
