Who could have guessed that the former leader of the Proud Boys—convicted of sedition because of January 6th—would, after Trump pardoned him, start to harass the hero cops of January 6th? Who could ever have guessed it? (This went down at the Principles First conference in D.C.)

Multiple reports of drivers doing spontaneous sieg heil salutes at protesters today, including in one case from someone I know personally. What is being normalized is monstrous and dangerous; every day we step closer to the abyss

Usefully sober fact sheet on Ukraine. Please share with those who need it. understandingwar.org/backgrounder...

Germans have been subjected to covert Russian propaganda as well as overt American propaganda - jointly in support of the far-right www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/w...

Elon’s evil munchkins sent this ridiculous email out to all 2 million or so Federal employees demanding they reply by midnight Monday. If you want to let them know what you did last week I’m bet they’d love to hear from you at [email protected]! I can’t wait to tell them about my norovirus symptoms!

“In 1987, I worked in the 6th Department of the KGB of the USSR in Moscow. The most important area…was the acquisition of spies and sources of information from among businessmen of capitalist countries…our Department recruited the 40-year-old businessman…Donald Trump, nicknamed ‘Krasnov’.” #Krasnov

Victoria DeLano is one of thousands of federal probationary employees fired in recent days by the new Department of Government Efficiency team. At the time of her firing, she said she was the only Office of Civil Rights investigator based in Alabama. www.al.com/educationlab...

Funding for Ukraine is “not a charity, it’s a responsibility“ says Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko. The U.S. has provided security guarantees for Ukraine since 1994. Now, three years after Russia began its invasion, America’s financial support for the country hangs in the balance. #Velshi

Ukrainians strive to secure their future & preserve their history. “The weight of history is really the motivating force for Ukrainians resisting today,” says author & journalist @yarotrof.bsky.social. “Ukrainians know they don’t have the luxury to cry right now. They need to keep resisting.”#Velshi

The world is watching Donald Trump abandon Ukraine and our European allies to curry favor with the Kremlin. All of us — Democrats, Republicans, elected officials and ordinary citizens — must push back with every tool we have if we are to save our own democracy and others.

First I vomited in the back of my throat, and then in my mouth, and then 🤮. Who is this mother so we can have her removed from her child’s life by whatever means necessary. #JeffTiedrich #resist #ChildAbuse #grooming

🚨BREAKING: @democracyforward.org sues on behalf of unions, retirees to block access to personal and sensitive data at SSA. This case comes after SSA commissioner stepped down due to concerns about DOGE accessing data. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

this is an act of unspeakable violence. it benefits no one, it doesn’t move a number on a balance sheet. it only guarantees that every one of these incarcerated transgender people will be tortured.

This news cycle calls for a Saturday edition of Reliable Sources! Today's themes: President Trump, the press and the public's right to know – with some inspiration from Reporters Without Borders 📬 cnn.it/4gXs3KS

From the indefatigable Megan Ranney MD: focus in the future!

My goodness. We know very little. Other than that a preventable tragedy has struck another hospital. (We do know that anger + hopelessness + alienation + easy access to guns are a fatal combo.) www.yorkdispatch.com/story/news/l...

Hahaha I’m doing the same today with my teen daughter 😆

Thank you @brianstelter.bsky.social and @cnn.com it’s been an honor. Looking forward to what’s next!

Dude, you ain’t Wyatt Earp

If people were really just dying from chronic diseases then how come they weren’t dying from their chronic diseases until after March, 2020?

I don’t know how many different ways to say that agency personnel don’t work for Elon. They don’t have to report to Elon. They report to their agency leadership, which reports to the President.

This is horrible for the future of American science and innovation and economic wellbeing and all the things Pitt is not a small institution It has nearly 10K grad students It is where Salk discovered the polio vaccine

Front page of CNN One constituent asked, “How can we be represented by you if you don’t have a voice in Congress?” "Two Republican Wisconsin congressmen received tough questions...from their constituents during town halls this week, adding to recent pushback from voters against...Trump’s actions"

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Corruption in plain sight. DeSantis and the Florida GOP have done nothing to address. www.tampabay.com/news/florida...

GOV. MILLS: “.. Maine may be one of the first states to undergo an investigation by his Administration, but we won’t be the last. .. “.. But you must ask yourself: who and what will he target next, and what will he do? Will it be you?” www.pressherald.com/2025/02/21/r...

Why???

Proud to stand with the LGBTQ+ community as an ally in the fight.

The Trump administration is canceling presentations including book talks on important civil rights issues at the Carter Center & possibly elsewhere. Let’s celebrate these authors by buying & reading their books. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/a...

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.
