Last night I attended the Save Our Services rally in New York City. Listen to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) fighting for people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” @aoc.bsky.social

“And you know what? At least he is doing something. It may kill a lot of people. It may leave others without homes or jobs. But I respect a man of action, regardless of what that action is and whether or not it’s going to make things better or worse.” @mikedrucker.bsky.social

Republicans aren’t hiding anything. Their priorities are written in black and white: trillions of dollars in tax breaks to the rich, while making savage cuts to Medicaid, housing, nutrition and education. The reconciliation bill will make the rich even richer and the poor poorer.

Friends, this piece by M. Gessen is a bracing, sobering read. We need to understand the era we are likely walking into. We have to ask ourselves what will be irrevokably lost. What are we willing to do to stop it? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/08/o...

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Josh Marshall; gift link. Political violence is always wrong. If there are exceptions to this, they are vanishingly few. Wrong, wrong, wrong. It doesn't matter whether the person doing it is on your side or not. WRONG. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/polit...

NEW: Harrison Ford endorses Kamala Harris. This is impactful, in part because it comes from someone without a long track record of endorsing candidates. “I’ve been voting for 64 years. Never really wanted to talk about it very much.” (📽️Credit: CallToActivism via X)
