"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."

This truly breaks my 💔 Thank you @joyannreid.bsky.social, I’ll be watching for what’s next. 🙏🏽

UNREAL: "The United States, Russia, Belarus, Hungary, North Korea and Israel vote together against Ukraine at the United Nations. We used to fight the Axis of Evil. Now we’ve joined them,” stated U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA)." www.rawstory.com/trump-russia...

Thank goodness for the American Medical Association. Here is their YouTube page. Please share far and wide. Right now bird flu is spreading throughout our country and most people have no clue.

The lost work, unfinished trials and complete halt to key public health threats will set us back a decade at least. There will be a health crisis. And we will have Mcfelon, the BOGEbags and JFK JR to thank for it. COMPLETE ineptitude and blatant disregard for the general populace.

Statement from the Musk-appointed head of SSA celebrating the deletion of research grants studying the financial security of the older adults and the disabled. Just one way that the richest man in the world is dictating societal priorities. www.ssa.gov/news/press/r...

11 of the top 12 most dependent states are red states. Alaska is the most dependent on federal aid while California (49) and New Jersey (50) are least dependent, contributing far more than they receive. 43% of social welfare recipients are White. #NotOnFox

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

Gang, at this point I’m too disillusioned to expect all of you to mask always (even though you should), but for the love of GOD, please at least mask at airports and on planes when you travel to events!!!

A newly discovered bat coronavirus uses the same portal to enter human cells as the virus that causes COVID-19, raising the risk that it could spark an outbreak in people https://go.nature.com/4b8c0J0

The Trump administration has been evaluating the costs of destroying or disposing of tens of millions of coronavirus tests that would otherwise be provided free to Americans.

Judge halts deportations after Trump 'invasion' claims

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

EVEN THE REAL F’ing NAZIS SAY THE REPUBLICANS HAVE GONE TOO FAR. Steve Bannon and CPAC are HORRENDOUS display of stupidity and violence. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

French far-right leader Jordan Bardella canceled planned remarks at CPAC today, after ex-Trump adviser Steve Bannon made a "gesture referring to Nazi ideology," according to a statement to French news agency Agence France-Presse.

Jordan Bardella, leader of France’s far-right National Rally, canceled a planned address at the right-wing Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington after Steve Bannon made what appeared to be a Nazi salute on stage.

At 3am, Republicans had an opportunity to keep their promise to our nation’s veterans and pass legislation to guarantee no cuts or delays to health care benefits we secured for toxic-exposed service members. They voted it down.

Gift link. A small unelected, secretive crew now has free access to sensitive private data of everyone. And Musk is already publicly targeting family members of judges who rule against the administration. If this isn’t ringing alarm bells, I don’t know what would. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

Why crash the economy, bankrupt farmers and take over federal lands? Get into a trade war with our closest allies… Trump and Musk hinted at their plans during the campaign: Freedom Cities I did a quick TikTok about it in October, and now the picture is getting clearer.

Wrote about the morally vacuous, strategically unsound (and also wrong!) anti-“woke”diagnosis everyone’s still sticking with, even in the midst of civil rights apocalypse.

Men who were once imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay write about the detention of migrants there now: "We are not just survivors of Guantánamo. We are witnesses. And we will not let the world forget." www.forever-wars.com/former-guant...

A moral stain on all of us

UPDATE: Nearly 100 migrants, recently deported by the United States to Panama where they had been locked in a hotel, were loaded onto buses Tuesday night and moved to a detention camp on the outskirts of the jungle, several of the migrants said. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/w...

NEW: Several SpaceX engineers are already being onboarded at the FAA. @wired.com has identified several, who were hired under a policy designed to increase “employment opportunities for people with disabilities.” www.wired.com/story/faa-do...

Please @petebuttigieg.bsky.social We need you.

Trump and House Republicans are trying to sneak through a dangerous bill that would block millions of American citizens from registering to vote...

Please stop saying it saved money until you understand the value of what was cut. They are downsizing, and if the stuff getting cut had real value, its not a saving.

Here's a messaging toolkit if people want to use it to create your own handouts to share with your communities. Thanks for sharing Anat.

Chicago native Eve L. Ewing’s new book, ‘Original Sins: The (Mis)education of Black and Native Children and the Construction of American Racism,’ drops today. Check out our interview with her. thetriibe.com/2025/02/eve-...

Alaska lawmakers have rejected Trump’s attempt to erase Denali and change it to Mount McKinley. Right now, when you search for Denali, Mount McKinley comes up instead. Let’s make our voices heard: Denali forever! www.eenews.net/articles/ala...

The energy we need ✊🏼#BlackHistoryMonth

www.univision.com/local/dallas... So I was on another app and just happened across this. I live in TX, there is no local coverage of this. 11 y.o, bullied over #ICE deportations took her own life. What we are doing to kids is beyond cruel.

NEW: The USDA acknowledged that over the weekend, it accidentally fired "several" agency employees who are working on the federal government's response to the H5N1 avian flu outbreak. The agency adds it is trying to quickly reverse the firings.

Last week, Elon Musk appeared alongside Trump in the Oval to defend the work of DOGE. Looking directly at Musk, Trump asked; “Could you mention some of the things *your team* has found?” Tonight, the government claimed that Musk isn’t in charge of DOGE & isn’t a DOGE employee.

Where are all the Dem consultants who supposedly do "comms" work at? Where's the website put together with succinct talking points, one pagers, posters that folks can easily download, print and pass out in their communities? Why aren't they doing this work PRO-BONO?

NAACP lists companies that dump DEI in its tactical spending guide for Black Americans.

Here we go. They can’t wait to fill private prisons and enslave everyone they throw in there.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

NEWS The top official at the Social Security Administration stepped down this weekend after members of DOGE sought access to sensitive personal data about millions of Americans held by the agency. Full Story: https://bit.ly/414cs6p
