February 18th the day the United States of America became a monarchy.

Know your enemies. The authors of Project 2025.

Now that 15,000 IRS employees are getting fired this week and they have been inserting code into their databases should I even bother filing my taxes this year?

#usaid This work must continue.

"The revolution about to be televised you picked the right time but the wrong guy" KENDRICK 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #superbowl

so many people booing Trump, Jon Batiste singing the national anthem, Lady Gaga & Kendrick, Taylor Swift in suffragist white, NOLA, two black quarterbacks (one of which who actively talks about social justice issues and has an all women team) — Super Bowl slays this year

Elon illegally has non-governmental people accessing government computers. Journalists have identified these people. Elon says naming them is a "crime". Elon must be removed from government access, by force if necessary. Nobody is winning this fight with a protest sign. This is a different animal.

OMG it IS only Tuesday! Trump has officially brought back Covid Time. Was that yesterday or 30 years ago?

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Elon Musk’s staffers have gained unauthorized access to sensitive government employee data by installing a server at the OPM. They now have access to USAJOBS, the federal hiring portal where applicants submit personal details such as Social Security numbers, home addresses, and employment histories.

We need a judge to rule that a fake agency called DOGE run by a megalomaniac billionaire who bought power from Trump for $288 million does not have a legal right to cut government spending and look at our Social Security information. This is madness.

This is insane! This program saves millions of lives! What Elon wants is for millions of people to die. Someone needs to stop this breach of security!

Stop going above and beyond to obey Trumps orders! Germans call this “vorauseilender Gehorsam,” or “preemptive obedience.” There is a reason they have a word for it.

While everybody was raging against Trump's shameless power grab, congress quietly introduced a nationwide abortion ban. Fuck everybody who lied and said "they're not going to do that".

Had an awesome time chatting with Jon Stewart & @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social talking about how to fight the dumpster fire. Gear up. It’s time to brawl.

Focus on 1 or 2 things. Go deep on those. Focus on "news" about those things first and foremost. Think about the concrete actions you can take to impact those ONE or TWO things.

Just like Pluto will always be the 9th planet in our solar system, the Gulf of Mexico will always be the Gulf of Mexico.

Exactly!

Keeping democracy alive is an active process we all must engage in. Today I called these people and begged them to do something about the #CDC and #NIH: Sen Mark Kelly Sen Ruben Gallego Gov Katie Hobbes AG Kris Mayes

Enough shock and awe. #actionNOW Start with the first issue. Call all your Senators and Representatives (Dem or Rep) tomorrow and every day after! Bring back #NIH #CDC #WHO #USAID. Stop them from gambling with our health and our lives. #health #priorities
