Trump to Roberts on his way out: "Thank you again, I won't forget" with a pat on the back.

How the democrats handled tonight is not how we wanted the democrats to handle tonight.

1. Short everything 2. Announce tariffs 3. Close out short positions 4. Buy the dip 5. Call off the tariffs 6. Sell the spike 7. Repeat Is there any reason to believe Trump's entire inner circle isn't doing this?

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE. In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

One by one please. Just leave one by one.

So embarrassing. So disgraceful. So underhanded.

They are playing with people’s lives. The National Weather Service is crucial to the safety of those in disaster prone areas. And with climate change rapidly changing and eroding the landscape of others, NOAA will be more necessary than ever. To do this just after TN and WV were flooded. Despicable

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities. That means: 🚫 No gas from corporate giants 🚫 No fast food chains 🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

The first step of a walk, the first penny towards debt, the first sweep with a broom, the first word spoken can all be a turning point.

I feel as if we're capable of acknowledging that a one-day boycott is mostly symbolic without becoming contemptuous and dismissive of people finding a little meaning and comfort in such a symbol. The scorn seems petty.

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

The Project for Awesome is a very fun and silly but also important event that raises millions of dollars for global health and other charities voted on by YOU. It has just begun. Please join us at ProjectforAwesome.com/live

Tax cuts for billionaires won’t boost wages. Tax cuts for billionaires won’t make housing cheaper. Tax cuts for billionaires won’t make health care cheaper. Tax cuts for billionaires won’t make groceries cheaper. Tax cuts for billionaires will not help us or our families.

Notable that the biggest act of civil disobedience so far came not from Congress but an eighth-grader www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec... @danlamothe.bsky.social

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.

Déjà vu all over again.

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

This is important for us to remember in the Democratic Party…. If we don’t win elections we can’t accomplish our goals.

This is how it's done. 👏

Elon Musk inherited a lot of money from his rich daddy, and he is currently driving his businesses into the ground with his ineptitude. Donald Trump inherited a lot of money from his rich daddy and drove his businesses into the ground with is ineptitude. America, stop thinking rich men are smart.

Oops 😬

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

As BLM, BLM-LA and @blmgrassroots.bsky.social co-founder Dr. Melina Abdullah told me in a recent interview for @counterpunchmedia.bsky.social, the murder 12 years ago of Trayvon Martin did, in fact, change everything. Black Lives Matter was founded in 2013, in direct response to the acquittal.
