Reminder especially for accounts with lots of followers and eyes: Spread solutions not panic

Heard from my friends in medicine and virology when Covid vax came out, they all had commented the mRNA vaccines had the potential to put cancers into remission and maybe cure them.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Firing 7000 IRS agents will make it even easier for the rich to get away with skirting what they owe. But it's also a gift to the multi-billion dollar tax prep industry. Fewer IRS agents to help you file your taxes means more money in the pockets of companies like TurboTax.

@kenmartin.bsky.social You need to get this on every social media outlet w video-have a well known influencer you know who supports democracy-someone even MAGA may look at-paired w how the rest of us will have to pay Let’s go!!!

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

If you’ve run out of words to describe the MAGA cult, here’s a new one: Onolatry noun: 1. Worship of the donkey or ass. 2. Devotion to foolishness. H/t: wordsmith.org

Jan 6th traitors: FAFO Good job USCP!!

We Are The Majority #Resist #FightForDemocracy

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

There is no such thing as not voting: you either vote by voting, or you vote by staying home and tacitly doubling the value of some diehard's vote. -David Foster Wallace, novelist, essayist, and short story writer (21 Feb 1962-2008) Now can say you’ve read David Foster Wallace #Vote #Resist

This is beautiful. Let’s all get into good trouble

✅ DEI Employer of the Day™ Apple 🍎 The Apple Board of Directors unanimously recommends that shareholders vote against an anti-DEI proposal at their annual meeting on Feb 25. Morningstar recommends Apple shareholders vote against the anti-DEI resolution, below ⬇️ www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

@kenmartin.bsky.social @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social Everyday there should be social media via influencers that t explain in two minutes or less just what fed worker cuts mean to their lives & what fed workers do for them; also reveal how DOGE isn’t cutting costs-it’s all a show

The Trump administration's war on American farmers continues. Rural areas have taken a beating so far from recent policy decisions. This is yet another. Truly remarkable, given how much support Trump has had in many rural communities. www.wired.com/story/usda-l...

Donald Trump blanketed swing states in flyers pledging to protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Instead, he's empowered Elon Musk to slash them by $500 billion a year. Call your members of Congress and demand they protect our benefits: (202) 224-3121

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

I say they nourish’d disobedience, fed The ruin of the state.

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

How to push back against Patel, his Stasi service, and autocracy

From @reuters.com: DOJ said it will drop an administrative case that accused billionaire Elon Musk's SpaceX of hiring practices that illegally discriminated against immigrants. www.reuters.com/legal/us-say...

I’d say if you’re a rich tech worker at Amazon, X, Google, Meta, Tesla, Microsoft, Apple or any of the other Trump defending company &want to redeem your association (I get u can’t quit for some reason or another) u could form a dark money PAC & put up billboards in red states telling people

JD Vance consistently comes off like a NPC.

Hey Leila Fadel it would be great to follow up how unemployment claims are straining state budgets due to massive fed layoffs @steveinskeep.bsky.social www.npr.org/2025/02/20/n...

In a lifetime of bitch ass moves Trump’s attacks on Zelensky reveal his core defects. He is a coward from a long line of them. A weak man is proud of serving a stronger one, Putin OWNS Trump. He has since the Russian mob opened its first brothel opened in Trump Tower. Fact.

WSJ says Twitter is telling advertisers to spend more with them “or else” — “They are afraid of the legal/political ramifications of not doing so.” Do y’all get it yet? www.wsj.com/business/med...

NEW: The director of data science and engineering for what is now known as the US DOGE Service has resigned. "If DOGE truly was concerned with efficiency, they wouldn’t have fired experts in procurement," she writes, "who prevent waste up front." This is by @makenakelly.bsky.social

The Global Gag Rule is a cruel attack on women’s health; it blocks U.S. global health funding to international organizations that use their own money to provide abortion services or even simply share reproductive health care information with their patients.

People don’t give a shit if it's one or two bills. They care that Republicans are hellbent on cutting the *$6 per day* families get in nutrition assistance and the Medicaid benefits millions of working families rely on to see a doctor. And for what? To pay for more tax cuts for giant corporations.

lmfao do you know how unpopular you have to be to poll 4 points behind international aid and 12 points behind the IRS here

This is from Sharon McMahon. Trump& Project 2025 are asserting that he has total control over every facet of government including the Federal Elections Commission. Was this what Trump meant when he told Evangelicals that if they voted for him they’d never have to vote again? @marcelias.bsky.social
