Remember This

Thousands of books have been targeted for removal from school and public libraries.  In fact, we've been tracking thousands of book bans here. Yet, the U.S. Dept of Education released a statement calling book bans a hoax! bit.ly/4h76cS5 via @everylibrary.bsky.social

“No amount of diplomatic palaver can paper over Russia’s record of kidnapping Ukrainian children, executing POWs, and targeting civilians.” www.thebulwark.com/p/we-are-neg...

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

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

Much of the chaos of the past few weeks can be understood as part of the Trump administration’s “central ideological project: restoring America’s traditional hierarchies of race and gender,” @adamserwer.bsky.social writes. Call it the “Great Resegregation.”

He nails it.

After sending over 400 ICE agents to Denver and Aurora, CO, and knocking on hundreds of Americans' doors, ICE made only one arrest. Now, Trump has removed the Acting ICE Director, Caleb Vitello. (WaPo)

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

We aren’t all farmers…

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%.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

This is like opposing a joint resolution declaring that the Sun sets in the West America doesn’t just look like an idiot here, we look like goddamn Flat Earthers

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

Bernie Sanders: "We're not only dealing with a move toward authoritarianism, we're dealing with what is new to America -- politicians have always lied, nothing new about that. But the level that we're seeing right now. The big lie, over and over again ... "

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

It’s a conundrum. 🤷‍♂️

I mean I’d at least try to look like I wasn’t a Russian in an Edgar suit

Investigate Tesla and Elon Musk who receive $8 million a day in federal money! Not Social Security recipients to get $65.00 a day!

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

Project 2025 Summary

Knowledge is power…

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Thank you Encyclopædia Britannica Never thought I would be thanking an Encyclopædia But these are very, very weird times.

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”

Kennedy is confirmed. Holy fuck America. He’s going to Make Measles Great Again. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

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

Amen…

Just despicable and disgraceful. The US government is now indistinguishable from the mafia.

🏆

Add Danielle Sassoon and the other members of the Valentine’s Day 7 to the pantheon of Justice Department heroes. My thoughts in @TheAtlantic.

Well, so now we know what he’s going to do with all our info.

BREAKING: Ranking Member Raskin demands Attorney General Bondi halt illegal intimidation campaign targeting the DOJ’s Public Integrity Office.

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this. Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

I thought they were all self-made rugged individualists who didn’t rely on socialism.

BREAKING: In response to doctors' lawsuit, Judge John Bates, a George W. Bush appointee, orders CDC, NIH, and FDA to put back up websites and datasets cited by the doctors in their lawsuit as having been relied upon and pulled down without notice. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The CFPB has returned over $21 billion back to millions of American consumers. Color me surprised that Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to close down the government agency that makes it harder for banks, big corporations, and billionaires to rip us all off.
