Powerful. Thank you, Marc. I stand with you and against the tyrants, void of self-awareness, understanding and empathy.

Happy Presidents Day Leon

This is about as disturbing as it gets. When Trump says he plans to be a dictator, there’s no reason not to believe him.

“Integrity is contagious”…lets hope that takes shape.

UPDATE: The White House defended its decision to block The Associated Press from covering two official events on Tuesday because it did not refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.

Donald Trump isn't interested in a smaller government, he wants a weaponized government. He doesn't want fewer federal employees, he just wants them loyal to him.

Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.

Ooo this is a good one ☺️

Good morning!

Trump may have pardoned the rioter who viciously attacked officer Michael Fanone on January, but Judge Amy Berman Jackson made a few things clear when she dismissed the case, as she had to:

Blumenthal: "It would be one thing if we had some disinterested, impartial business person -- highly successful -- looking at ways to make our govt more efficient and save money. That's not what's happening here. Elon Musk is doing a power grab & information heist, the biggest in American history"

Read the 10 point plan

Yesterday’s live is now on YouTube: m.youtube.com/watch?featur...

Bird flu outbreaks are driving up egg prices for families. Now, Elon Musk wants to shut down USAID, the agency responsible for monitoring outbreaks in dozens of foreign countries. With egg prices increasing grocery bills, why halt efforts to prevent a U.S. bird flu crisis?

British Columbia is already pulling the American liquor.

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Sometimes self-government just means elections. And sometimes it means recognizing the deeper dignity and meaning of what it means to be a people. That means speaking up, standing out, and protesting. We can only be free together. snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-...

Summary of Trump’s first two weeks: Trump has thrown the federal government into chaos thus endangering your services and benefits; he’s pardoned violent criminals; he’s announced tariffs that will raise your prices; and he’s done nothing to help you and your family.

My appearance yesterday on Don Lemon Live to discuss DEI Derangement Syndrome and the perpetual scapegoating of anyone who isn't a white, straight, able-bodied male www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOD5...

Do yourself and democracy a favor. Support independent media.

NEW: David Hogg has won the vice chair DNC election.

Nice response…

😔😔😔

Incredibly moving Justin Trudeau remarks: "We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people....Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us."

In my world, “the talk” is what Black parents have w/our kids, about how to survive an encounter w/police who see them as a threat because of our skin color. Latino families have their talk, w/kids even younger, about ICE who see them as criminals: “If we disappear…” Different fear. Same America.

“I will not be pushed out by two billionaire trust funds babies.”

Reporter: I’m trying to figure out how you can come to the conclusion that diversity had something to do with this crash? Trump: Because I have common sense and unfortunately a lot of people don’t

Pete Buttigieg responds to Trump:

“Research has shown that companies with diversity and equity platforms perform better financially than those that do not.” www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/...

Reporters: Please stop calling things DEI that are not DEI. This is only cementing the propaganda being used to legitimize the dismantling of all types of initiatives that are not DEI as well as legitimize efforts to end civil rights enforcement. Be specific with your language. Be accurate.

If anything, RFK, Jr. permanently ended impostor syndrome. After today, no one should ever feel unqualified for anything, ever.

No one but a white man would have the audacity to even think he is qualified for this position, considering his background.

I don't know who made this, but it's a handy list for us to keep track.

As our editor-in-chief said back in November: Our job is to give readers an independent, verifiable account of what’s happening, even if the president is calling us enemies of the people or bloodsuckers. At ProPublica, our mantra is that we bring the receipts to every story we publish:

He does not care about you. How much more evidence do you need????

The “Let Them” theory in action… He’s not the only one already in custody and he won’t be the last….
