As we all near the end of the first month of the Fourth Reich, think about this today. Take the time you need for you. Catch your breath. Just remember to join back in when you can. 🩵💙🩵💙

Five major airlines are suing to overturn a rule from then-Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg that actually holds airlines accountable for damaging disabled people's wheelchairs. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Please take note and fight back with every tool in your box!

@kenmartin.bsky.social @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social @davidhogg.bsky.social Please exert your influence and have Democratic leaders do this! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

I'm in. February 28, 2025!

Fed up? Scared? Angry? Sad? This is the assignment: 1) call & email your reps constantly 2) pick your lane & find a group working in that lane. It's important that you not try to do too much. They want us overwhelmed. Spread the load. 3) take breaks. It's a marathon. Need a hug - lmk 🫂

Are people finally waking up? The real fight isn’t about bathrooms or drag queens—it’s about who holds power & at whose expense. Culture war is just a distraction, keeping working people too busy fighting each other rather than noticing who’s actually robbing us blind: billionaires—not each other!

Another way the dictatorship might kill you. This is from a friend who is a retired air traffic controller.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

If you read one thing today read our latest piece we just posted. This one is a very important one. Please consider reading and sharing it with your friends, family, and neighbors. And as always, please share your thoughts and ideas. I am also going to post all of the text here as a thread. 1/

Trump signed 60+ executive orders in a month—none were for you. He let billionaires loot, dismantle, & dodge justice. Now, they’re tearing at the Constitution to stay in power. We must fight back. Monday, Feb 17 at your state capitol. 50 states, 50 capitols, 1 protest.Stand up: www.fiftyfifty.one

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Doing the unthinkable: The deep cuts to the #CDC's workforce today are expected to decimate the Epidemic Intelligence Service, a program that has trained public health rapid responders for decades. Envy of the world. Poof! www.statnews.com/2025/02/14/t...

So many men, including many liberals, told women we were overreacting.

So basically, the Department of Health and Human Services is finished. If you want to stay safe from food recalls, viruses, and whatever else is coming—better start looking elsewhere for reliable information.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

⚠️ Measles and long-term effects: What you need to know ⚠️ 🧵: There are multiple measles outbreaks across the country right now, so we’d like to give an overview and talk about the long-term effects, which can include severe complications or death.

The Senate will vote tomorrow on whether RFK Jr will lead HHS. For this final 24 hours we are asking you to call/visit/email your Senators and DEMAND a NO vote on RFK Jr. Kennedy's views on science and medicine are not only wrong, they are actively harmful and destructive.

Musk totally humiliated Trump during their joint Oval Office press conference. Musk brought along his 4-year-old son — making Trump look like the kid’s babysitter — disrespectfully wore a T-shirt and baseball cap, and even interrupted Trump. It’s clear who’s really in control, and it ain’t Trump.

And there it is. Republicans have proposed a $4 trillion debt limit increase. Four trillion dollars.

So, Google Calendar has removed Indigenous Peoples Month. Who here still supports the Native community? 🖐🏾

Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)

This is just one of thousands of harrowing stories told about the U.S. Government abandoning Americans abroad in the USAID shutdown. This is Benghazi times a million. 1/

House GOP wants $4 TRILLION dollar debt ceiling increase. You marks really thought the world’s richest man and the guy with the golden toilet seats were really going to “fight the elites” for you? Nah, they just want their tax breaks.

Bernie Sanders: "For Mr. Musk and his fellow oligarchs, the needs, the concerns, the pain, the ideas, and dreams of ordinary people are simply an impediment to what they the oligarchs are entitled to. And that is really what they believe -- they are entitled to all the wealth and power they have."

We need Steve's emotional rescue.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

. Still think it’s funny?

@rbhubbell.bsky.social says it’s time for the Dem MOC to implement a Shadow Cabinet. @timothysnyder.bsky.social has been sounding the alarm to do this. Robert’s suggestions who should be on it are in his article. We can add to it. @repjasmine.bsky.social comes to mind. Let’s do this! 202-224-3121.
