Resist!

Outrageous.

Today, my kids and their friends made a lemonade stand, (we are in California, so this roughly makes sense since all the lemon trees are bursting with fruit). The wonderful part is that they independently decided that all the money they made would go to the LA fire department.

Sounds like brownshirts.

Lock him up! (again)

I find it incomprehensible that so many Democratic politicians post on Twitter but NOT on Bluesky. I post on both platforms whenever possible, but I’ll post on Bluesky FIRST. I mean, WTF? 🤬

Join me on Substack. Here's my latest post. open.substack.com/pub/chrisdal...

Do this. Say this. 👇🏻

He is far from powerless. He could hold a press conference on the House steps threatening to vote against up the upcoming reconciliation bill.

Oh, swell. What could possibly go wrong? www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Do not obey, period!

Van Hollen: "There's no Article 4 in the Constitution that gives Elon Musk that authority, and the way he's been 'delegated' this authority is illegal, and the actions he's taking are illegal, and we need to shut down this illegal operation."

Go, Bernie!

I'd like to see what would happen if every African-American and woman in the armed forces just quit -- or at least planned a sick-out day!

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Finally.

Keep at it

Another dataset I like is from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program, which has maps of the US that show we fixed the acid rain problem by implementing stricter emission controls on power plants. nadp.slh.wisc.edu/maps-data/nt...

Who elected Elon Musk?

Conflicted much?

Me too.

Let's get real. If anybody should pay for the war in Ukraine, it is the failed aggressor -- Russia. It's called "war reparations."

What if every woman and African-American just resigned from the military? Would that make us more "lethal"?

He nails it.

How federal judges are blocking Trump’s abuses of power; Judge Ho probes Trump DOJ corruption; SCOTUS deals Trump a setback; a judge nearly finds Trump admin in contempt & more. Legal AF is LIVE 8PM ET / 5PM PT. Tune in!

WTF???

Donald Trump promised to let Elon Musk self-police his conflicts of interest. The result? Those investigating his companies have been fired. Cases against his companies have been dismissed. The corrupt self-dealing is staggering.

Family values much? Right-wing influencer sues to declare Elon Musk as her baby’s father

Wait. Even if Trump really pulls off a favorable “deal” with Ukraine, who thinks Trump will actually confront Putin? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/w...

Not very transparent www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

Hah!

As one of those American taxpayers who subsidized Tesla in 2010, I am tempted to say, "You're welcome, Mr. Musk." But he is such an ingrate that he doesn't deserve it.

Iowa pollster Ann Selzer filed an absolutely blistering response to Trump’s lawsuit against her and Des Moines Register, calling it a flagrant attempt to circumvent the First Amendment. www.thefire.org/sites/defaul...

And we all know how it ended for Caesar. (stabbed to death by Senators)

Deplorable.

Never mind!

Guarding a concentration camp isn't the kind of thing most people want to sign up for. Along with a racist effort to purge officers who aren’t white, military recruiting is going to tank and the ensuing national security crisis will be entirely self-inflicted www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Valuing diversity is not a crime Installing white men in every position of power is not a meritocracy

Better late than never? (Or is the Post up to something?)

Why is the media acting like this is all normal?!

Hold fast!

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.
