Millions of seniors and working families wouldn’t be able to see a doctor without Medicare or Medicaid. Our leaders should be fighting to protect AND strengthen workers’ health care, not threatening to gut it. www.newsweek.com/white-house-...

This is a shameful way to treat our fellow citizens who are public servants. This doesn’t make America great.

Abuse of power is disgusting. This cruel rapist must be removed from power or we’re all fucked. Even maga. He doesn’t give a shit about anyone now that he’s consolidated power for nefarious ways.

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that if you want people to stop calling your party a bunch of Nazis, then your party leaders should stop doing Nazi things like the Sieg Heil. Did you notsee this coming?

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

Rabies is almost always fatal in humans, However, highly effective vaccines can prevent onset if given promptly (and why human rabies cases in the U.S. are rare and newsworthy when they occur). The ACSH excoriates RFK Jr. because he's putting people at risk for rabies. www.acsh.org/news/2025/02...

Tarrio’s arrest highlights the far-right’s contradictions - claiming free speech and peace while using intimidation and violence. Despite receiving the longest Jan. 6 sentence, he still casts himself as a victim, not an instigator. krassencast.com/p/breaking-f...

Go to town hall meetings. When they get a reception like this, it absolutely scares the hell out of them.

Feels extraordinary that while a far-right politician is willing to call out a Nazi salute (out of self-interest, sure) centrist media only talk of 'controversial gestures'. If you cannot describe what is in front of your eyes are you in the right job?

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.” Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity. The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.
