I’m conscious so many people are feeling anxious or angry. It’s because you care. It’s because you have heart and empathy for your fellow citizens. Take comfort from knowing you are not alone, and collectively we can create good in this world. Small to begin with, but it will grow. Rest well. 😊

Money talks

Thou shalt not spend millions on Super Bowl ads about Jesus when you could’ve used it to feed the hungry.

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who will happily and enthusiastically be reminding trump voters of ALL his broken promises because he's too busy golfing, grifting, tweeting, and being an overall tyrannical shithead. My field of "I Told You So's" is full.

I love our friends in Scotland.

A fake billionaire is letting a fake genius destroy America because a bunch of fake patriots are too stupid, too entitled and too hateful to understand the difference between what is fake news and what is fact.

Last year, Kash Patel, the MAGA provocateur whom Donald Trump has nominated to head the FBI, received $25,000 from a Russia-linked production company to participate in a documentary in which he assailed the FBI and called for closing its headquarters.

Subpoena the hell outta Elon Musk and his entire group of young thugs at the bullshit DOGE agency. Now.

SC educators need your love and support. Teachers are navigating through crazy laws while still educating their students. Hug a teacher to let them know you support them.

Preach @repjasmine.bsky.social She is literal 🔥🔥🔥 Love her❤️❤️❤️ "We are going to be in your faces, we're gonna be on your ass, we're going to make sure you understand that this is what democracy looks like!"

“I don’t think the United States Senate should vote for a single nominee until this is over!” - @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Senator Chris Murphy: "We have days to stop the destruction of our democracy ... we are taking back this country from Elon Musk."

Jasmine Crockett nailed it! She explains EXACTLY why MAGA is going after DEI. " They don't want any more Kamala Harris's. They don't want any more Jasmine Crockett's. But I got news for them. I don't care what they do. We will fight to the end to make sure that we get our due."

Before Rosa Parks made history, 15-year-old Claudette refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama. She was young, bold, and way ahead of her time, standing up when it was dangerous but necessary 🤎 #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackSky

Are we just going to ignore this??

And it begins. FBI class action lawsuit against the retaliatory purge. First Amendment Violation of Due Process Rights to Privacy www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/u...

There is a reason these agencies are run by civil servants, and not the private sector. Chaos, instability, and uncertainty around our money are not positives in any voters life. No one voted for THIS and everyone should be calling our reps daily until they step in and do something

So on this question of “doxing” of Musk gizmocrats, I was talking to staffers to today detailing one of the gizmocrats who is largely on his own rewriting the code base of one of the US governments most mission critical computer systems. And as it was described to me the staff programmers …

Government officials and leaders: Be like James Dennehy.

South Carolina friends! It's time to email your state legislators once again. Ask them to oppose the near total abortion ban. #scpol p2a.co/KVkgS6O?rese...

Frederick McKinley Jones was a pioneering inventor and one of the first African American inventors to secure major patents. In his lifetime, he secrured more than 60 patents, most notebly for portable air cooling systems. His innovations transformed entire industries. 🤎 #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackSky

In case you missed it, Canada and Mexico sent firefighters to help California with its horrific disaster. Now, Felon47 is showing his gratitude by charging them tariffs. #DemocracyNotDictatorship #PeopleOverProfits

This is very good

Dear Mexico, Canada, Panama, and Europe: 100 percent tariffs on Tesla.

The Afghan National Government was excluded from US negotiations with the Taliban, and that turned out to be a disaster. I hope we are not witnessing history repeating itself.

The most surreal and maddening feature of the campaign was that everyone agreed that high prices were the main issue but the guy explicitly, consistently running on a platform of raising everyone’s prices won voters most concerned about high prices. We hammered this time and time again and yet.

Valerie Thomas is a trailblazing badass scientist and inventor who made serious waves at NASA. Her work helped to shape the future of satellite imagery and holography, and she paved the way for women and Black scientists in STEM 🤎 #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackSky #ScienceSky

Black history is American history. This month is a time to recognize and celebrate the richness, history, and joy of the Black community, and recommit ourselves to uplifting Black voices and promoting equality, justice, and economic opportunity for all.

This is advice every dem politician should take to heart. Don’t sell against the competition. Sell what you are doing to reduce people’s stress and make their life better It’s not about what’s wrong with the competition. It’s about what is right with you

The POTUS lied, distorted, mangled history, tried to take credit for things that didn’t happen and showed total contempt for rules, the office he holds and human decency. It’s Day 12. Trump launched air controller diversity program that he now decries. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Heartbreaking 💔

Vouchers were meant to help low-income kids access better private schools. But the bill that just passed its second reading allows families earning $180K+ with kids already in private school to qualify. South Carolina was misled into a "welfare for the wealthy" scheme.

Facts about voucher states: 💥 Most money goes to religious schools - by a long shot 💥 Most students and parents getting tax dollars have never attended public school. They've always gone to private school. 💥 More tax dollars go to parents making $100k or more than those making $50k or less

Sen. Darrell Jackson dubbed it the “Shane Beamer” plan, referring to the fact that the University of South Carolina football coach who makes $6.4 million each year would be able to receive the funds to pay his children’s tuition if he so wished.

This isn’t DEI—it’s deadly short staffing. NEW: An FAA report says one air traffic controller was working two positions during the crash. “The position configuration was not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic.” Lives are at stake, and they know it.

If you're feeling despair it's because you have a moral compass. It means you're not empty on the inside - that you nurse hope and a sense of justice in a cage next to your heart. You're one of my people and I'll stand with you. There are more of us than they want you to believe. Hold fast.

Let me know if you agree this one is on Trump. 💙

Senator Adam Schiff torched Kash Patel: "Mr. Patel may be, I don't know, but he may be the first nominee for FBI Director in history who felt it necessary to plead the 5th." BOOM! 🔥

RFK doesn't remember a lot. The internet does.
