Here’s what Democrats should say about trans women and girls playing sports: “Republicans don’t care about women sports. They just want you to fear young people living their lives freely—so you don’t get angry about their billionaire overlords picking your pockets and controlling everything.”

The Pentagon flagged a photo of the Enola Gay in its DEI purge… apnews.com/article/dei-...

NEW: WIRED got IP blocked by the Social Security Administration, among other outlets covering Musk's takeover. Federal workers are now "prohibited" from accessing our reporting on "government-furnished equipment." WaPo, NYT, and MSNBC are likewise banned, sources confirm.

This photo will be in all the history books.

It would indeed be good to know if cats can be vectors for household spread of #H5N1 #birdflu. They sure are susceptible to the virus. www.statnews.com/2025/03/04/h...

Call it by its name: Trumpcession.

We knew he would try to silence dissent. We need bravery, strong courts, and refusal to allow this fascist to trample the 1st Amendment.

2 day change -1,400 (always a tweet)

Tomorrow morning at 6 am EST, I am taking time away from writing to join Amber Payne, publisher of The Emancipator, on a segment of the State of the People. Beginning at midnight, State of the People is 24 hours of counter-programming to Trump’s boycotted state of the union address. 1/2

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

They have no answer for what the oligarchs are doing to America.

Vance to Zelenskyy: you don’t say thank you. Truth:

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

my dog when I ask what’s in his mouth

This presser was a horror show. Ukraine will not have US support going forward, because Trump and Vance are completely lost. Europe will step-up and this war will continue. Trump blew this bigger than any foriegn policy folly in recent history.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

#ACIP, the expert panel that advises #CDC on vaccine policy, will not meet next week. #HHS, which never gave final approval for the meeting, per sources, suggests it will be rescheduled, but gives no date. www.statnews.com/2025/02/20/a...

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?

I just added more things to this list today: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

There is literally HIV being transmitted from mom to baby because of the illegal shutdown of US AID and now Trump’s State Department wants to spend 400 million dollars on Tesla cyber trucks. This is not about efficiency. It’s a smash and grab.

So much is happening in the US right now it's hard to know where to focus. This is something that shouldn't get lost in the blizzard: Government computer systems have been massively breached. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

If you're not ok with sending a Nigerian prince your personal and private information, why would you be ok with a South African oligarch barging into government offices and stealing it?

🚨BREAKING: Alliance for Retired Americans and two labor unions file lawsuit against Treasury Dept. to block disclosure of personal and financial information to Musk and DOGE. Follow @democracydocket.com for details on this and every pro-democracy lawsuit. www.democracydocket.com

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

I am begging Democratic lawmakers to stop solely pointing out the obvious problems and start publicly talking about how to address them. We know our democracy is unstable and unhealthy. What are you gonna do about it? Cease the platitudes and broad statements. Get specific and talk about actions.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Withdrawing US funding from the World Health Organization is a potential disaster for public health worldwide, due to the impact it will have on the important work the WHO does. Preventing the CDC from even *talking* with WHO personnel is a step much farther toward undermining global health & safety

Attn: Target we are done!!! Black folks, do not spend a dime here. Do not spend money where you will not be hired—or where they will not carry your products. Target is spitting in your face!

in a world of Targets, be a Costco
