In case you missed it! Check out last night's real talk about the state of our union with Professor @timothysnyder.bsky.social who wrote the book On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century. Watch here: youtu.be/ZQqLRew4F1g

🚨ATTENTION The deadline to register to vote in Florida’s special elections in CD-1 or CD-6 is THIS MONDAY, March 3rd. These two seats are crucial with a narrow majority in the House. Double check your status and register to vote at iwillvote.com.

Chaos is up. Corruption is up. You know what else is up? Egg prices.‬ ‪After promising to lower prices, the Administration is not doing enough to bring health care costs down, to bring housing costs down, and to bring child care costs down.‬

This is what a white collar coup looks like. And if the Supreme Court upholds, the Constitution will have been shredded, checks and balances gone, the primacy of the people supplanted by that of an autocrat and democracy in the US will be dead. Not an exaggeration.

The SAVE Act will require voters to provide unnecessary documentation to vote. This bill would make voting harder for people of color, women, and low-income people — groups of people who already face more difficulties at the polls.

JUST IN: Federal judges orders HHS, CDC, and FDA to restore “by no later than 11:59 pm” today their websites and datasets to pre-January 30th status. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Just a little light protesting over breakfast with the help of @resist.bot. What actions will you take today? #academicsky 🧪

Tune into a special edition of “The Jim Acosta Show” later today at 4p ET/1p PT: “America Under Siege.” Joining me on today’s edition: Democratic strategist James Carville and former Republican congressman Joe Walsh. See you soon!

TODAY: We’re rallying at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with Sen. Warren and Rep. Waters to fight back against Elon Musk. Musk is trying to kill the CFPB, which Americans rely on to protect against corporate exploitation and bank fraud. Join us if you're in DC: www.mobilize.us/indi...

Amy Klobuchar was on Morning Joe this morning. She asked that people email their reps/senators because emails become a part of the record, whereas phone calls don't.

Last night Elon Musk moved to kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. His team is now inside, and he posted “CFPB RIP 🪦” on X. This agency has saved Americans billions. DOGE isn’t about cutting waste—it’s about dismantling the government so Musk and his billionaire friends can take control.

🚨 BREAKING: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker says he’s going to rename Lake Michigan to “Lake Illinois.” EPIC TRUMP TROLL!!! 🤣

An important announcement from the Governor of Illinois.

I F***ING LOVE THISSS SOOOO DAMN MUCH!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Unbelievably petty! The Spanish language version of the White House website was deleted after the inauguration yesterday. Look what happens when you hit the “go home” button!

BREAKING: It’s time to ramp up and get ready to save our healthcare. Again. Join a call tomorrow (Sunday) with Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi! We can’t lose this fight. Too many lives hang in the balance. Details below! Pass it on.

@jessicadenson07.bsky.social Jessica's best episode yet. MUST WATCH. She announced an organized protest in DC on Jan 3-5 to let lawmakers we expect them to uphold the Constitution and their oaths. Go to nowmarch.org to join and sign up. #14thnow

This is a political alternative to cynicism, nihilism, and acquiescence. #14thNOW Peaceful mass protest next weekend. CALL CONGRESS 202-224-3121 and insist they defend the U.S. Constitution. Demand Congress to vote on whether to remove Trump's disqualification. Watch Lights On with Jessica Denson

Donald Trump absolutely HATES the “President Musk” meme with a passion. Let’s keep spreading it.

The Jan 6 insurrection disqualified Trump from taking office per 14th Amendment Section 3 of the Constitution. Sign the petition to demand Congress act to prevent Trump from taking office. The petition is free. resist.bot/petitions/PG... Please repost. Let's go! #14thAmendment #TrumpIsDisqualified

I don't agree on everything Sanders says, but I agree with him here Oligarchs are our common adversary "Strangely enough, the term 'oligarchy' is very rarely used to describe what's happening in the United States or in fact, what's happening around the world." www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...
