So proud to be a mainer today. She sttood up to the clown. I applaud her👏👏

„Sometimes you have to reverse the the flow of shit and flood the other side“. Resistance lessons to start with.

He nails it.

Join the resistance. All the cool kids are doing it. 😎

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Pete Buttigieg said what we’re all thinking about Trump and Musk’s mayhem: “We too demand government work different and better than it has...burning it to the ground isn’t gonna do that for anyone.”

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

And there it is

Our dystopian nightmare really does read like a DC or Marvel comic book. Bored tech billionaire and aspiring Nazi buys election to keep convicted felon from doing time. In return, he gets an entire country to play with and experiment on. Please tell Jasmine Crockett, AOC, and Bernie are superheroes.

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

Resistance can also be fun.

Laying off thousands of civil servants and policy experts across HHS is irresponsible & will abandon American leadership in global health. This is a misguided self-inflicted wound that our adversaries will take advantage of to fill the void this action leaves behind.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

This pretty much sums it up.

Please consider making a modest contribution (via actblue.com or a campaign website) to the three Dems with special elections in April 2025. If all three win, they flip the House. Even if you can’t contribute monetarily, support them by spreading the word! 💙

Doing great 👍

In a rare unanimous decision, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that the state’s top election official, Meagan Wolfe, can remain in her role as a holdover after her term, rejecting state Senate Republicans’ attempts to oust her.

Thriving on plants, but low on vegan besties. 🥲🌱 Who wants to be friends? 😆💚 . . . #FunnyVegan #VeganMemes #CrueltyFreeLiving #VeganCommunity #CompassionIsChic #MindfulLiving

Hearing that DOGE went into the Dept of Education today and shut down almost the entirety of the department's in-house research arm, Institute of Educational Sciences, cancelling contracts totally about $900m.

Two days before, a handful of cowardly men stood here. Emboldened by the hateful rhetoric and conduct of government officials, they hid behind masks and guns, waving Nazi flags. They wanted fear. The result? Hundreds gathered, unmasked and unafraid, to support the community. THIS is true strength.

Samuel L. Jackson making an appearance during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show was everything.

More of this, America.

NEW: We must make it clear to Trump and his maga cult—no cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security—EVER. Let’s try to get 1,000 letters sent to Congress today: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

We took a long peaceful walk yesterday afternoon and enjoyed reasonably fresh air, sunshine, and the sight of wildflowers growing in unexpected places. They were a beautiful reminder of the power of tenacity.

In case you needed some uplifting news today. People helping victims of the fires, strangers they have never met, here in California. This is what true humanity, true strength is—compassion, empathy, and love in action. ❤️💪❤️

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Absolutely. Grind it to a halt.

"'My frustration with USAID goes back to my time in Congress,' Rubio told reporters." Ah, so *that's* what he meant when he said Joe Biden wasn't doing enough to support USAID!

Well worth the 13 minutes to listen. Especially for those feeling panicked and overwhelmed right now.

I think it's important to pay close attention to events in challenging times. I also think it's important to take a break and go to your happy place, your dreamland, your alternate existence. I'm a cartoon squirrel in the 1920s. My name is Ian. I live in a Douglas Fir tree and I make bootleg gin

We did something inexpensive and fun today for the sake of our sanity. Ten dollars for two people to park, tour a cute local dinosaur museum, and walk the outdoor trails amongst desert flora and outdoor sculptures. Don’t give up the fight, or hope, and don’t forget to take care of yourself.

Some people voted for trump. Some people voted for Kamala. Some people voted 3rd party. But I guarantee you that NOBODY voted for a fucking billionaire to be raiding our Social Security. What the fuck is THIS bullshit?

Highlights from an interesting article. High tariffs & corruption inspired the 16th amendment (federal income tax). And King George III was indicted in the Declaration of Independence “For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world.” Read the full thing here: www.cato.org/publications...

Disconnected from legitimate trade policy, Donald Trump's tariffs lack a real plan to help Americans. 🚨🚨"The cost of owning a car could see a steep increase if President Donald Trump imposes significant tariffs on countries like Canada and Mexico" www.newsweek.com/trump-tariff...

On a lighter note, I have been listening to some good music today. Janis had a lot of soul. Plus, I really dig the whole 1960s decade of social change and protest vibe.

This is a national emergency:
