MSNBC, the alleged bastion of liberals, has former GOP rep Scarborough, former head of RNC, Michael Steele, former Bush spokesman Nicole Wallace. No Joy Reid and Mehdi Hasan though.

A really important email from my friend Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social . As he says "this is a 5 alarm fire." America is under attack right now.

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

I’m positive you all saw the video from Coeur d’Alene, where a woman was pulled out of her seat and arrested by men who claimed to be sheriff deputies, but were not in uniform. I need the men to do something: When you see a woman being abused, step in. Step up. Get in the way. Put your body to use.

One thing helping me right now that I encourage you to try: use your nice, special occasion things. Light the special candle. Use your “nice” dishes. Wear the outfit you save for an occasion. Use your fancy wine glass for water. Stop saving things for a special time — make this a special time.

Do this. Say this. 👇🏻

For 38 years, PRAMS has collected critical data on maternal-child health with the goal to reduce infant morbidity and mortality. CDC has officially halted the 2024 PRAMS data collection for the participating 46 states and the future is uncertain.

URGENT: The folks at Americans for Financial Reform are looking for stories from people who’ve been helped by CFPB. Please read this call to action and share far and wide! 🚨 Let’s save CFPB 🚨 Pass it on.

PASS IT ON. I shared my story with AFR about how the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau helped me. We must save the CFPB, a small dept that saves consumers from fraud, scams, & overcharging by banks & institutions and retail that take advantage of average people like you and me.

Limited reporting about unidentified men dressed in black physically dragging a woman out of a Republican town hall in Idaho while the sheriff films and eggs them on: cdapress.com/news/2025/fe...

You can buy one of Amy's hats! And help Doctors Without Borders!

There are little Trumps and Musks everywhere and we have to fight them everywhere.

On the one hand, this "I'm powerless!" answer from multiple congressional Republicans is pure garbage. On the other hand, it's sure not "Trump/Musk are doing a great job!" Which (1) tells you what they're hearing, and (2) will tend to further hurt Trump's popularity.

“Your voice is meaningless right now. ... I can talk over all of you” said the emcee at the GOP event as the woman objecting to Medicaid cuts was dragged out.

DOGE isn't saving us money. DOGE is forcing us to DIY society--to manage all the costs, risks, and problems that government is best poised to solve.

And guess who will bear the brunt of a DIY society? If you are curious, Prof. Calarco has a book for you.

Where are the Democrats but also Where are the churches Where are the celebrities Where are the NGOs Where are the Universities Where are professional groups like AMA Where are the athletes Where are the unions What people/groups do and don’t do for next month determines our collective future

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

I think it would make a big difference in our health if we banned Pharma ads from America like the rest of the world does.

According to a memo leaked to the LA Times, ICE will be starting their “knock and talk” practices in the LA area on Feb 23rd. #KnowYourRights

Exactly 😡

Here is my Federal Employment Termination story:

Notice Vance and Musk always come to the defense of anti-semites, racists, bigots and a bunch of pro-Nazi folks under the guise of "free speech." Odd. Just...so odd.

Alfred Street Baptist Church, one of the oldest & largest African American Baptist Churches, is canceling its annual Christmas performance at the Kennedy Center: www.alfredstreet.org/kennedy-cent... An important counter to Trump.

Questions are swirling about how Trump’s new immigration policies will continue to affect Colorado, especially after federal agents went door to door in Denver and Aurora last week detaining an unknown number of people. Here are answers to some major immigration questions.

ATTN probationary feds: if you’re too new to have a performance eval and your sups are friendlies, ask them for an interim evaluation and keep a hard copy.

Good God help thy children to survive & endure this world— & heal & tend & transform it. give safety & refuge, tonight & tomorrows, to the vulnerable & endangered— give comfort to the grieving, rest the weary— give justice & freedom for all. Amen.

As a California public school teacher, it's time for the CA Teacher Retirement System CSTRS to divest from its 4,645,497 shares in #Tesla. Musk is radically RW, fascistic, & unstable. He is also tearing apart the Dept of Ed. #CaliforniaTeachers #DumpTesla

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

Every time your toilets flush and your streets aren’t overflowing with piss and shit? That’s your government working for you. Potable water, traffic lights, CLEAN STREETS, emergency services, PHONE LINES, safe vehicles, regulations when any of this shit falls apart. That’s the silent part of gov’t

If you have heard about the new strain of #H5N1 #Birdflu spilling into cattle and do not understand what it means, I suggest reading this excellent report from the US department of agriculture. I have summarized key point below TLDR: "Houston we have a problem" www.aphis.usda.gov/sites/defaul...

Here’s some advice for those outside our coalition, as the administration is actively leading a witch hunt for resistance members. If you’re a government employee, avoid using government devices to coordinate. Do not use standard messaging apps on Android or Apple devices.

MAKE THEM EXPLAIN WHAT DEI IS, COSTCO. SEND THEM THE POLICY AND MAKE THEM EXPLAIN WHAT IT IS IN LEGAL WRITING FOR THE WORLD TO SEE.
