None.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

This is how it’s done.

Good. I haven't shopped at Target since the announcement. I was born and raised in Minneapolis, the birth place of Target. I love love love Target. I moved all our Amazon Subscribe and Save purchases to Target the week before. No more. I can't believe their reversal of long standing values.

When companies invest in DEI, they invest in people. Now's the time for Target to stand firm in its values, not retreat. Will you add your name to call on Target's leadership to reinstate its DEI programs? sign.moveon.org/petitions/ta...

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

Asking my followers to please consider following my hubby 🏳️‍🌈 @drowndworld-398.bsky.social Also please consider following you all following 💙 @markymark757.bsky.social @chellelavixen.bsky.social @bishopx50.bsky.social @newmekboy.bsky.social @sunny1udno.bsky.social @sassysister27.bsky.social Thank you!

I want to hear from Kamala. She should not quietly fade into history.

Wow.

Diversity is a fact: All kinds of people exist. Equity is a goal: All kinds of people deserve a chance at success. Inclusion is how we get to equity. By including them, they can achieve success. It's that simple.

Dems should be voting for NONE of them. Not one!

This may not sound as shocking as other assaults happening every damn day. But folks like Rebecca Solnit are saying it is one of the most shocking parts of this coup. Why shut down ALL Fed offices unless you think you're the King? apnews.com/article/trum...

I would really love to see the NYT & WaPo treat the current political situation with even half the level of alarm they used last year in reporting that Biden was old

aaaand now it all makes sense

Jasmine Crockett nailed it! She explains EXACTLY why MAGA is going after DEI. " They don't want any more Kamala Harris's. They don't want any more Jasmine Crockett's. But I got news for them. I don't care what they do. We will fight to the end to make sure that we get our due."

Senate Democrats are considering voting NO or delaying every Trump nominee as retaliation for his overreach on ending USAID. Smash the RT if you SUPPORT this plan. ZERO votes from Democrats!!

Russian government leading the effort to get Tulsi Gabbard confirmed. "We've got your back, Tulsi", says Russian TV. Trump's nominee for top State Dept job is a Uighur genocide apologist who also thinks America should deliver Taiwan to China. China and Russia LOVE Trump term 2.

Why does China get lighter tariffs than Mexico or Canada? Why is USAID - the agency countering China's global influence - being shut down illegally? Follow the money. Musk and his SV bros will do anything - even pledging allegiance to socialism - to make $$ in China.

There is still beauty in this world

Microdose hope. 😘

I haven't been posting because I'm literally lost for words.

A friend asked Alexa, What year was same sex marriage legal in Vermont? It couldn't answer it. I got the same non response. Fluke? So I asked, What year did Hitler rise to power? In both cases we got "I can't help you with that answer." Oh really? When asked Google immediately returned correct dates

What the hell is going on with @fetterman.senate.gov ? Dude. Seriously. What is your deal now?

Egypt is being complicit and needs to stop this collaboration with Israel barring journalists from entering Gaza. open.substack.com/pub/dropsite... From @decensored.news who you should follow...

I read this here today and it gave me a glimmer of hope and some much needed inspiration to keep going, to stay engaged, to shake off despair, and not tune it all out. We can only do what we can do. But speaking out and standing up to take some, however small daily action does more than you know.

If you think my friend Sandi Is correct Drop a 🦋 and share

If you're not ok with sending a Nigerian prince your personal and private information, why would you be ok with a South African oligarch barging into government offices and stealing it?

The department was accused of illegally giving DOGE data access.

People who stand up to power may not fix everything in a day, but they provide the necessary fuel for others, who are in great need of some inspiration, to keep fighting.

Literally have been telling this dude this for a very long time. Keep up, Chuck. Also: WTF are you going to do about it?

New resignation emails have been sent out with added fine print and stricter terms. Some contracts now require employees to work through February 28 before being placed on paid leave by March 1, contradicting earlier claims that no work would be required.

A physician member of the AMA—who requested anonymity for fear of retaliation—is sounding the alarm. “The current admin prohibited all communications of the CDC and other agencies with the public. Now, the public and physicians are left with no info on food recalls or disease outbreaks.“
