What went on in the Oval Office today is what fascism looks like. The world watched it live, in action. Zelensky faced a torrent of abuse from Trump & Vance, who repeated every one of Putin's talking points It was a psy ops operation to ensure Repubs turn against Ukraine It was pure Nazi theater

Jasmine Crockett’s Viral Mic Drop on Musk—And People Love It When asked what she’d say to Elon Musk, Rep. Jasmine Crockett kept it simple: “F–k off.” Social media erupted: “More of this energy!” “She’s speaking for all Americans!” Looks like Democrats finally found their fire.

Musk & Trump’s Mass Firings Could Be Reversed—And Fast Tens of thousands of federal workers were fired under Musk’s DOGE—but many firings were illegal. The Office of Special Counsel has ruled against some, and reinstatements could start in days. This is just the beginning.

Ditching the musical artist who is shaped the last 18 years of my life isn’t as easy as I’ve been pretending. I cried throwing away those T-shirts and that hat and ripping the poster off my wall. But I can’t stand for somebody who supports 47. I won’t.

Judge Blocks Trump’s ICE Raids at Churches Trump’s immigration crackdown targeted places of worship—now a judge says it violates religious freedom. Worshippers, including legal immigrants & citizens, avoided services in fear. Since when does “religious liberty” exclude Quakers, Baptists & Sikhs?

And with that the last vestages of a years long love for Gavin DeGraw is out of my life. Just took the T-shirts and the hat downstairs with the trash. Goodbye. Good riddance.

Trump vs. Maine Gov: Standoff Over Trans Athletes At the White House, Trump demanded Maine Gov. Janet Mills follow his transgender athlete ban. When she refused, he threatened funding cuts. Her response? “See you in court.” Trump’s order faces legal challenges—his threats mean nothing.

I’ve never lost respect for an artist as quickly as I did Gavin DeGraw. In contrast though I’ve never gained respect faster than I have for Kellin Quinn. I chose him as my favorite because I like his voice, and I’m inspired by the honesty of his lyrics. Now I think he might be my hero.

Saw something on Insta that was encouraging for when you feel like you're not doing enough to resist. Paraphrasing, it said that even if all you can do is pull a single thread, you're still helping undo the fabric. Anything is enough. #resistance #fightagainsttyranny

‘Go Woke, Go Broke’? More Like ‘Go Trump, Go Bankrupt’ Trump fired the Kennedy Center leadership, packed the board with loyalists, and claimed he was “saving” the institution. Now? Ticket sales down 50%, artists canceling, patrons boycotting. Turns out, MAGA loyalty doesn’t sell tickets.

Perks of abandoning the really slow music of your former favorite artist… I don’t think Gavin DeGraw ever could have kicked my ass in this work out the way sleeping with sirens just did. Now excuse me while I go pound at least three more refills on this Stanley Cup full of water. I think I’m dying!

Of course. But being the party standing up for those fired will mean a lot to those fired and their families. It will also show the country that they are trying to bring order to chaos. And if they can get any Republican support at all, that's huge leverage for March 14

Musk’s “millions of dead people on Social Security” claim falls apart when you check the facts. The SSA pays $1T a year, with a 1% error rate—mostly overpayments to living people. The “fraud” Musk found? Old records of people born pre-1920, not getting payments. But why let facts ruin a viral post?

The important thing right now is not to lose hope and become immobilized. With flooding the zone, that is precisely what they are hoping to do, to make you feel as if you have no voice. It is imperative that every single one of us stay informed and involved. 1/2

Ex-NFL punter Chris Kluwe called MAGA a “Nazi movement” at a city council meeting—and got arrested for it. He listed what MAGA stands for: book bans, attacks on trans rights, defunding education, and anti-democracy extremism. “You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is.”

It’s sad when taking out the trash means purging your life of all the music of Gavin DeGraw. For roughly 18 years this man’s music has meant everything to me, but his support of 47 and Musk makes my support of him impossible. And for anyone wondering, I promise I was the truest fan.
