But will they? Here’s a good reason to call your representatives, join a march, and participate in boycotts, like Feb 28.

I think so much about the French Resistance these days. I wonder why. 🫤

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

LA!!! Pay attention!! ICE updates below!! Spread the word 👇🏼👇🏼

This is an awesome list!

PETE: “What we have to do now is make clear we do want government to work differently and better than it has, but burning it to the ground won’t do that for anyone.”

They are also the party of bullies, and Democrats are compassionate. Bullies hate that.

The voice of reason.

If you want details about the Feb 28 Economic Blackout, see the link below and scroll to the bottom of the page.

Agree! They both a have deeper understanding of the tech bro culture evolution , especially the Musk bro.

More times than not, I find comfort in Bernie’s explanations because what he says is reality, not the delusional or carefully crafted messaging that surrounds us.

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.

Good to know!

Lots to do!

Be with someone who gives you the same feeling as a canceled meeting on a Friday afternoon.

Exactly this.

I think we need more of this.

AOC explains it all. (Long but worth a listen.)

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

Heartbreaking!

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Is anyone keeping a running list of all that is being dismantled, defunded, and destroyed? It’s hard to keep up.

Interesting graphic and thread.

NEW: Yesterday, the Department of Transportation issued a memo that says DOT and DOT-supported programs should "give preference to communities with marriage and birth rates higher than the national average." www.transportation.gov/sites/dot.go...

In case you’re wondering how they plan to stay in power beyond 4 more years. . .

It doesn’t matter who he blames, do you feel safe getting on a plane right now? youtu.be/fvmctbycWDk

A president who has no concept of cause and effect.

THIS 👇 is how you call out this administration. This is Dem leadership. Other governors are also speaking. When the media doesn't get it out, we must pick up the slack.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

So glad I found Roshi Joan on BlueSky!

The threat of ICE has tons of people on high alert, the result is claims of ICE seen without firm or specific info people can actually use — & sometimes, no ICE at all. It’s never “ICE spotted in Queens,” but “4 SUVs labeled DHS seen parked on 57th & 59th in Maspeth at 2:34pm.” Be specific!

Does it feel like he’s canceling all the good things government is doing for people, or is it me?
