Indeed.

The only way to combat Trump, we are told, is for Democrats to relinquish their power and give Trump exactly what he wants

House dems not holding back

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

BROOKLYN. You're up.

Democratic U.S. House Rep. Jasmine Crockett accuses Sen. Schumer of "being complicit in Trump’s Tyranny." It seems like there's about to be a reckoning in the Democratic Party.

AOC slammed Mike Johnson, saying: “You run the government. If you have the votes, then go ahead. If you need Democrats, then you need to negotiate with Democrats. Those are your two options. Blaming someone else because your shoes are untied isn’t one.”

Truth

A reminder for these times.

On Elon Musk’s “X,” people talk about Muslims like Hitler talked about Jews. The fight against Islamophobia is as crucial as the antifascist struggle of the 1930s. www.currentaffairs.org/news/we-must...

My god. Can Mexico provide our flu shots? Canada? Maybe our state governments?

If your representative is dodging in-person town halls, call them out! Tag them and demand they face their constituents.

NEW: “Kennedy paused a multimillion dollar project to create a new Covid-19 vaccine in pill form on Tuesday, and the Food and Drug Administration canceled an advisory committee meeting on updating next season’s flu vaccine.” newrepublic.com/post/192059/...

It’s time to get to work building a movement beyond Bernie.

When I launched America, America almost four years ago, I didn’t anticipate independent media would be so critical. This was just after America had elected a democratic president & evicted Trump. But now, as we near 100k subscribers, independent media is critical. Join us. www.americaamerica.news

Incredible.

We need to invest in young leaders like David Hogg’s Leaders We Deserve. The old guard is not cutting it any more. I’m 66 years old and that is the way I see it. The last election opened my eyes to this.

We should be talking class “warfare”. Not violence but taxing the rich heavily to pay for big social programs. Otherwise there is little difference between the Democrats and the Republicans in the eyes of the youth and the poor.

We need a new party that is not afraid to have big aspirations with big payoffs for the majority of citizens: universal healthcare, free child care, free education, investment in clean energy and industries.

Overall I think it is easier to tap into fear than to inspire people to help each other. During the Great Depression, people were not only afraid they were hungry. That allowed someone like Roosevelt to sell the New Deal.

USDA says it accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is trying to rehire them In a statement, an Agriculture Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are "working to swiftly rectify the situation." www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

ATTN HHS EMPLOYEES: Firing notices are going out. I am in receipt of an email saying they will revoke your access as soon as you read the email that you've been fired.

Our coup got coupier. Our authoritarianism got more authoritarian. And of course this is stupidity as a battering ram against what is legal and constitutional, because they weaponize stupidity.

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

MEMPHIS, TODAY: “Hey hey! Ho ho! Elon Musk has got to go!” The people rallied and marched through Memphis, where Elon’s XAI supercomputer now lives — sucking up massive amounts of energy.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Do you still doubt that the autocracy is trying to kill us?? Four more weeks—check back in.

Print these and take them to your library, food pantry, clinic, church, and SCHOOLS (they're for education, right?) and repost please.

For sure.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

What I've been waiting to read these last few days!!

More of this, America.

Knoxville Pastor: “Dear @GovBillLee, this week you said taxpayer money belonged to the taxpayer… Please direct MY tax dollars to programs that help the least, the last, and the lost, as Jesus would prefer — or refund MY money to ME.” www.knoxnews.com/story/opinio...

If you've been feeling hopeless about humanity and disappointed in the many so-called Christians who elected Trump, I encourage you to watch Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budd speaking to Trump at mass today. THIS is courage, strength, grace, and compassion in action. www.msnbc.com/andrea-mitch...

One of my first contributions in the new year will be to the Wikimedia Foundation to help support Wikipedia. And then my next contribution will be to my local library.

THIS makes me think

Legacy media is telling us that what we see happening isn't really happening.

The culture wars, the race wars, the gender wars...all smoke screens for the war they don't want you to fight. The class wars.

This is an oligarchy. The founders never intended people to have this much power… EVER Stop the oligarchy

The stupidity of the billionaires just never stops..... Obviously all of them were smart at something, and a lot of them then came to believe they were smart at everything and blundered into areas where their ignorance, prejudice, stupidity, and vanity become a superbloom.
