Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Their Plan: It's been a long term plan of the Oligarchy to divide through race, culture and gender to control and enslave the working and middle classes in this country, own our Government and kill Democracy. OUR PLAN: UNITE AND FIGHT THESE MOTHER FUCKING TRAITORS TIL WE DROP.

Mark your calendars: March 4 Liberty mass protest in DC, on March 4th starting at noon. “We are stronger together” #3E #USprotests #NoKings #march4liberty #Mar4

Hey everyone! I did an emergency live over on Substack, reminding us all that we will win this thing! Take a look! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Thursday’s front page of the British Daily Star. Putin’s Poodle

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

"Today, the horrors of war are literally happening right before the eyes of Russian FPV pilots. This is a well-deserved punishment for the war crimes that the Russian occupiers commit against Ukraine every day," the HUR source said. H/t @amplifyukraine.eu kyivindependent.com/ukraine-behi...

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for promoting @bsky.app on air and complimenting it. Her on air support is truly important

I did an event in IN a few weeks ago where I said that on 1/6/21 Mike Pence saved the country (for now) by being one of very very few who stood by his principles under maximum threat.

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

Resisting comes in all forms. Here is a very creative one starting to pop up.

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

I have been boycotting target since this was announced. We have to use the tools that we have. $$$$ talks.

MAGA is upset over this tweet. Hit dogs holler in A Minor.

I’m not crying. I have the means to get by no matter how bad things get here. Most of the people who voted for this, presumably including you, do not. You’re never going to get the last laugh.

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

NYC Mayor Eric Adams debuts his new look.

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

Could someone out there write a definitive guide on convenient alternatives to using Amazon.com for goods and books and whatnot? Asking for some folks who don’t want to see democracy die in darkness.

Yet another plane crash with Delta airlines! I think this makes 8 since Trump took office! #USDemocracy Delta Airlines plane crashes at Toronto Airport - The Telegraph apple.news/AEl9lhc6QSEG...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

I got a late call that I’m glad I took as @markzaidesq.bsky.social was letting me know disgraced ex-Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn had dropped his ridiculous lawsuit against me. They want to shut us up with lawfare. They’re won’t. My latest Substack. I’d love you to subscribe. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.” Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

Count me in, ladies!! 💙💙

They won’t ever learn will they

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.
