Blackmailing a country that was invaded and ravaged by three years of war is pure evil www.reuters.com/business/us-...

Hey, when we saw "bag of dicks" on the ballot, we voted no. #raygun www.raygunsite.com/collections/...

This is a MUST WATCH video. If we want change, everyone needs to be this fired up at town halls! Please share this with friends and family. Get loud! Get in their faces and voice your concerns. These representatives work for us. We deserve answers and we demand accountability!

If you need a little pick-me-up...

"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

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)

There are but two ways to keep a compromised country from falling into an authoritarian abyss: 1. Courts 2. Crowds In this week's Next Comes What, Andrea answers the question she keeps getting about how what she's learned from studying concentration camps around the globe can help America now.

"They had no reason to be caught unprepared. There’s no excuse for the party’s lack of a unified, professional, savvy communications game, whose planning should have begun on November 6, 2024, and implementation the moment Trump failed to place his hand on either of two Bibles" on inauguration day.

The Daily Beast: What is this Elon Salute what can it mean French Nazis: too Nazi for us

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

Good thing Elon Musk has nothing to do with DOGE, otherwise this might look a bit shady www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

A sliver of truth appears in the New York Post. Happy to see it.

“DON’T BEND OVER!” Atlanta Journal-Constitution (@ajc.com) reporting from a Republican stronghold district in Georgia tonight: Packed room of angry constituents demanding their congressman stand up for them.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

You know it’s bad when this is the post’s cover

More of this. Do not give in.

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

Elon and other unvetted Trump enablers shouldn't have access to the entire nation's personal and financial data. Can my Republican colleagues acknowledge that? We're forcing a vote to block that access. Let's see where they land.

They voted for bad things to happen to other people is the truest read of the situation

@4taxfairness.bsky.social identified two dozen House Republicans whose 2024 margin of victory is less than the number of people who will lose their jobs, health care and food assistance under Trump's budget. Is yours one of them?

Last night MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell said Trump was the first U.S. president to “switch sides during a war.” That aptly describes Trump’s betrayal but it can’t begin to convey the depravity of what Trump did in throwing our ally overboard and lying about every facet of Putin’s criminal aggression.

Dear media: Please do not waste time hyperventilating about this dumb comment. It’s intended to be a distraction from all of the damaging actions he’s taking. Focus on those.

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Money and markets, y'all. It's your superpower.

JD Vance is so nauseatingly unlikeable that he’s literally dragging down the AfD’s approval rating

These barely-sentient people who believe deranged stuff like “we should make Canada the 51st state so they can vote for us” must be purged from the Democrat party.

Professors with tenure: get political. Teach.

That’s how you write a headline, people.

Elon is firing the regulators looking into his own companies. Corruption. Plain and simple.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

True.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

We agree.

This is the question to keep asking. Especially Obama, Bush, and Clinton. Whatever norms you think you're respecting no longer exist. Where are you?

It’s a few days old but a great long sit down interview with @hcrichardson.bsky.social youtu.be/f-78R0monV4?...
