Tulsi consistently backs Moscow over the US. Reminds me of what Jane Fonda experienced for her speech during the Vietnam War. America, I hardly recognize you anymore. 😥

New episode of #SistersInLaw, available wherever you get your podcasts

Still can't handle the news so get my headlines from my favorite political readings. The comments are always interesting. This is from today. Dr Lena is a sociologist. 😉 youtu.be/63v8c5RZ8rk?...

The thing is, no one is going to attack. All the villains got together and bought an American Presidency. And together, they have toppled democracy in America. They don’t have to attack. They already did. They learned from 9/11. Slow burn. And make America do it themselves.

BREAKING: 34,000 people have showed up in Denver, Colorado this evening to see Bernie Sanders and AOC fight oligarchy and authoritarianism.

This is what it needs to look like. For days on end. As long as it takes. So proud of Hungarians and I hope they reclaim their democracy from Orban.

I’m amazed how little coverage this story has gotten. They’ve burned well over $16 million to briefly hold 290 immigrants and several photo ops to GITMO. Just a total train wreck and they didn’t even mention it officially. Check out my latest. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Folks outside the US: "Why aren't yall protesting?" Americans: Up next: 1. tomorrow March 14: Veterans March in DC and all Capitols Noon. NowMarch.org. 2. Sat March 15 March Against Tyranny @50501movement.bsky.social 3. Mark your calendar now: April 5 National Day of Protest @indivisible.org

I heard "I'm going to drink my water and mind my Black business" means "you broke it, white people, now you have to fix it." White people will need to lead the protests because it really won't be safe for people of color and they already did their protests. Our turn now.

Crockett: This is not what we should be doing. I don’t even know why we’re fighting with Greenland. We’re fighting with Greenland, Canada, and Mexico—yet we’re in love with Putin?!

Many people still need to wake up to the fact that they too are the "bottom" or as Leon calls them "parasites."

Action item: call Rep Hakeem Jeffries and Sen Chuck Schumer and tell them that under no circumstances should Dems attend Trump's speech. When he enters, they need to stand up, give him their backs, walk out as a united front and have a rally outside. 202-224-3121. Call now.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

You need to be on the phone with your reps daily. If you need help knowing what to say when you call, follow @jesscraven101.bsky.social. What Tr*mp did to our ally Ukraine is deeply unpopular with Republicans, and they need to be flooded with calls from their constituents outraged over this betrayal

Sadly, it’s time to revive this 2017 TIME cover.

We don’t admit people to the hospital for quarantining. They can do that at home. The many kids admitted to the hospital in Lubbock have severe respiratory complications from measles. Stunning ignorance from highest health official, embarrassing really.

No Democratic member of Congress should sit thru the SotU. For maximum impact, as soon as Tr*mp comes out, all Dems rise and silently walk out together. Make it a spectacle. @aoc.bsky.social

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

I will remind folks every day for as long as it takes until working class Americans hear it and act: Elon Musk called you, me, your grandma, little children, veterans, disabled folks, farmers, ALL OF US "the parasite class". Everything they're doing is to make us suffer and die. It's eugenics.

Members of the military are supposed to be loyal to the Constitution, not the president. Changing that seems to have been the point of the Friday Night Massacre. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

If you're depressed by current events or life in general, check out Narcissistic Cookbook song Good Morning Sunshine. Here's one about the coup and pardons. Enjoy. jammechanics.bandcamp.com/album/s3e1-t...

Donald Trump is selling out our seniors to Elon Musk. He is handing over control to sensitive Social Security information to an UNELECTED billionaire. Is Trump too weak to tell Musk no? Is he using Musk to cut Social Security so he doesn't have to take the blame? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...

Brazil shows that it can be done. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

Have you heard about the SAVE Act? It's the newest effort at voter suppression by the House GOP & it's important for all of us. If you're a married woman or someone who doesn't have their birth certificate/passport handy, you're especially going to want to see this. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Oh, good grief. Do Republicans just stay up late at night dreaming these things up, instead of working for the American people?

Run for something!

If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.

Knitting has been an act of resistance against oppression for centuries. Thanks @aoc.bsky.social for reminding folks of what a powerful symbol of liberation women's handwork is in this dark time.

The Party's Senate and the Party's House are fighting over whether to make the 2017 tax cuts for the wealthy (one reason they raided the Govt looking for money) temporary or permanent. You'd think they'd realize after 4 weeks of Dear Leader in power that "All things are temporary."

See here's how to do a headline. fortune.com/2025/02/13/e...

“At least 24 million cases, 310,000 hospitalizations and 13,000 deaths — 57 of them children — have been reported for this flu season, which began in October” www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

In 7 minutes Parkrose Permaculture tells us to what it's going to take to stop this coup. Adjust your expectations. We're going to need massive ongoing protests of 11-20 million people. youtube.com/watch?v=vQFA...

“No American can be proud of a govt that carries out change in this way. Neither can these actions be rationalized by discussion of past grievances or appeals to efficiency. Everything can be more efficient, but adherence to the rule of law is paramount” www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...
