Is homophobia really necessary to make your points, folks? So tired of all the progressives who think that calling their opponents f*gs is appropriate. Come on, this is not good.

Outraged to learn that @joy.msnbc.com has been canceled. Sheā€™s one of the best. And I agree with other commentators: give us more @wagnertonight.msnbc.com as well. Theyā€™re the best on the network right now.

A good read: ā€œTheoreticians of nonviolent action have often said that nonviolent resistance ā€” noncooperation, counter-propaganda, obstruction, general strikes, nonviolent sabotage ā€” is the most effective way to fight fascism.ā€

The Polluters Pay bill brings the successful superfund concept to the climate crisis: if you create the mess, you should have to pay to clean it up. #mapoli

What a shame. Teamsters deserve better than this.

President Trump is firing American workers who monitor bird flu outbreaks, safeguard nuclear facilities, and now those who promote American history in Dorchester ā€“ all to help pay for tax breaks for billionaires and giant corporations.

#StandwithAOC she stands with us.

Just OMG.

We stand with @aoc.bsky.social !

Protests in Boston today in freezing weather against Trumpā€™s & Muskā€™s actions!

Absolutely gorgeous and the history is so crucial. Thanks!

Friday, 28 February 2025 is economic blackout day open.substack.com/pub/natperni...

We need to make this as urgent as showing up for a winning football team. Letā€™s show up for ourselves. We have agency.

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument. Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed. 3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened. Erasure.

Oh my god. They removed "transgender" from the page about Trans woman Sylvia Rivera's page at the National Park service. "Sylvia Rivera began fighting for gay and _____ rights" WOW.

Senate rules were explicitly designed to protect the minority. Democrats should exploit them mercilessly to slow Trump and Musk before they destroy the country.

Pictured: Rep. Andrew Clyde witnessing President Trump's "outside the box" thinking on January 6th.

This is bloody genius.

US State Department suspends LGBTQ employee organization... The move is part of the departmentā€™s wider directive to all employee affinity groups to ā€œcancel any planned events, meetings, announcements or other activities...

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

The Senate takes 3 votes this afternoon: 1) Go into executive session to consider Russell Vought to be OMB Director 2) Cloture vote for Pam Bondi for Attorney General 3) Confirmation of Christopher Wright for Energy Sec These should be 3 easy NO votes for Dems. Watch yours and provide that input.

This is why you donā€™t surrender in advance. The flagrantly illegal can be stopped. It sucks that itā€™s falling to ordinary workers, not, say, the police, or Chuck Schumer with an NBC camera crew manning the line. You know, the ppl whose job this actually is. But they can be stopped.

Life goal.

We are. Resist.

Wut?

A majority of Senate Dems voted to confirm the guy doing this. Shameful and predictable. Their votes werenā€™t needed, and their message is sharper when NO www.senate.gov/legislative/...

I was completely mesmerized by her orchestral concert performance of The Seven Deadly Sins. A feeling of real awe for her craft and intelligence as an artist. She was great and will be missed.

As Israel's ban on UNRWA, the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, takes effect, writer Muhammad Shehada warns that it could be "a death sentence to Gaza's population" that relies heavily on the organization for food, healthcare, education and more. www.democracynow.org/2025/1/30/ga...

It looks like a bribe and a signal to every company that corruption is the name of the game. After Meta pays to play, what does Mark Zuckerberg expect as a return on this investment?

The answer is yes, thatā€™s how far up he has slithered.

Shut it all down on March 15!

Clocking in and ready to work!

Why are you even treating this as a legitimate polling issue? Please #DoNotNormalize 47, bullies, and tyranny.

Glad youā€™re keeping the pressure on, @jonathancohn.bsky.social !

47 and the tech bros manipulated this into an effort to dismantle democratic governance, end regulation, and install a technocratic oligarchy.

Yes, and itā€™s time to admit that this debacle was never about Bidenā€™s so-called failure to listen to working Americans. Thatā€™s the punditā€™s easy line that allows them to skirt the harder issue of entrenched racism, misogyny, and white male rage.

Important words.

ā€œIt is deeply unfair to play politics with peopleā€™s lives and strip transgender young people, their families, & their providers of the freedom to make necessary health care decisionsā€¦decisions must rest with families, doctors, and the patient.ā€ ā€” Kelley Robinson HRC President @hrc.org
