We make a fatal error agonizing over a lack of leadership in DC. There are some leaders there who we should praise. But people have always been ahead of politicians. Stop fuming and start organizing, marching, helping.

"'We’re bringing attention to what’s happening to the parks, which are every American’s properties,' said Gavin Carpenter, a maintenance mechanic with Yosemite and military veteran who supplied the flag and helped hang it." www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

Himes: "It just looks like an episode of The Sopranos. 'Give us your minerals or we're not gonna help you fight a bloody butcher.' I mean, is this really we want the greatest country in history to be known for -- some mafia thing? ... this president is standing with the bad guy"

Trump's attacks on the USPS aren't new. For decades, the GOP has been trying to privatize the Post Office and other crucial public services — all to pad the profits of their wealthy corporate donors.

The Gilded Age is Trump's ideal--let's check the stats, shall we? --most Americans disenfranchised --most Americans in extreme poverty --most Americans worked 12 hour workdays, 6-7 days a week --most Americans consumed unsafe food, water, medicine The Gilded Age was great only for the rich folks

Friends - we will be doing additional content on this Monday. But a quick primer on what you need to know about Measles, from a recent segment. Stay vigilant, stay informed. youtube.com/watch?v=XNZP...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

If someone wanted to destroy the United States from within, would they do anything differently than what Trump is doing right now?

We've come a long way from "I will lower prices on day one"

DOGE is not about waste and fraud. This is about gutting government services without any evaluation of their need. Americans have decided to have and fund an effective National Park Service. Trump and Musk are trampling on democracy to do whatever the hell they want.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KERI !!!! Have a great day- eat cake!🥳🥳🥳🥳

This is a good time to remind everyone that this administration hasn't done anything for anyone. It has literally only taken away things we've already paid for and fired and sued people. Oh and the quid pro quo with Adams. That's the extent of what they have done. Kinda nuts.

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests,” President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, January 6, 1941

I remember when "What's the worst that can happen?" was a rhetorical question instead of a section of the newspaper.

Musk and son open.substack.com/pub/contrari.... love this

McConnell arguably saved Trump's butt by not voting to convict Trump in his second impeachment and pushing a bogus argument against a guilty vote. This is how Trump pays him back. All other Republicans should take note. Your cult leader will eat your face in a moment's notice.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

Pretty damn good framing for Dems

A top neuropsychologist has claimed that power has made Donald Trump act like he’s full of drugs on a late-night bender.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

Nikes first Superbowl commercial in 27 years. What a way to pop back out 🔥

KC forgot my friend @therickwilson.bsky.social 's first law: Everything Trump touches, dies.

This is your reminder (or maybe new info!) from a nurse that right now and for the foreseeable future, you need to fully cook your eggs. I know a lot of us enjoy a soft gooey or even runny yolk, but bird flu is rampant and can cause death in humans. Better to eat a scramble than die. 😬

Welp…. What a difference a couple of weeks makes 🤯

Do not underestimate street art as an effective form of resistance.

this is a huge story for so many reasons. here in the midwest, local news outlets need to be chasing down stories on how farmers, ag groups & big state school ag programs are being impacted.

The world premiere of Mel Brooks’s BLAZING SADDLES took place on February 7, 1974, at the Pickwick Drive-In Theater in Burbank; 250 invited guests—including Little and Wilder—watched the film on horseback. #OnThisDay

We are watching the Great American Train Robbery from inside the train.

A 25-year-old DOGE engineer has access to a “top-secret” federal system and reportedly has the ability to alter how government payments are made to citizens.

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.

"Elon Musk: Special Government Employee" has about as much authority as "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" Maybe less, actually

Worlds richest man wants to get rid of food safety, clean water protections, worker, protections, auto safety standards, clean air protections, financial regulations, and any rules that might prevent corporate interest from harming people and the environment. That’s all. This is war.
