This. 100%

“Russia is not a country seeking a “reset” or compromise — it is conditioned to view us as an existential enemy. In the 1990s…70 percent of the population thought America was a friend and 15 percent a foe. Under Putin, those numbers have flipped.” thehill.com/opinion/inte...

THIS. #HandsOff

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!! This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference. It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference. #50501movement

Hands Off in Harrisonburg

If I went to a doctor complaining of back pain and he took a sledgehammer to the spot, telling me it’ll hurt a bit longer but eventually get better, I’d probably sue him and find a new doctor. This post is about #tariffs.

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

It is long past the time that leaders privy to advance information should be allowed to financially gain from that knowledge. Ban Congress from stock ownership.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too? 🚮

Morning update: NO on cloture. NO on the CR. We’re fighting this bad bill that cuts Americans a terrible deal with everything we’ve got.

Epic idea

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

People assume Andrew Cuomo is tough and A Fighter because he always looks angry and acts weird. Mistaking a total lack of emotional self-regulation and wild, self-destructive spite for Masculine Strength is one of the defining political errors to me. No one even tries to keep it together anymore.

If Marco Rubio sinks back into that couch any more JD Vance is going to fuck him

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.” I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

“A serious U.S. president would recognize that Putin is playing a very weak hand that we should exploit…If this were poker, Putin is holding a pair of twos and bluffing by going all in. Trump, instead of calling Putin’s bluff, is saying, ‘I think I’ll fold.’” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/o...
