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 This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.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...

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? 🤬

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” James Baldwin

Posted by @rothschildmd.bsky.social on another platform: “The entire federal government now apparently reports to Elon Musk, who is not the president, doesn't run DOGE according to Trump administration court filings, has no authority to remove federal employees, and tweets all day.”

Why are people drawn to RFK's false promises? Why do they have so little trust in medical institutions and why are they willing, even eager, to see them dismantled? We've enforced desperation on millions of now very manipulable people––and we're all now paying for it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CxG...

"The increase to Musk's wealth since Trump was elected president three months ago is greater than all of the American aid given to Ukraine over the last three years."-- @timothysnyder.bsky.social

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Listen up.

“In some ways that’s even more chilling than firing the four stars,” Rosa Brooks, a professor at Georgetown Law. “It’s what you do when you’re planning to break the law: you get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down.” By NYT Greg Jaffe www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

OKAY … I think we could all use a laugh about now … @maddow.msnbc.com @aoc.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov @petebuttigieg.bsky.social @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @governorwalz.mn.gov @petebuttigieg.bsky.social youtu.be/SbjEHqEHwBw?...

This well-referenced page includes personal stories from those terminated, with links to share your story. Congressman Ro Khanna and the House Science Committee are surveying the impact of these cuts.

I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

Our latest: The Resistance is alive and well and angry. Please consider reading and sharing. No paywall.

Members of the military are supposed to be loyal to the Constitution, not the president. Changing that seems to have been the point of the Friday Night Massacre. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

@meidastouch.com CONGRATULATIONS!!! It’s now official. By finally topping the Spotify chart, The Meidastouch Podcast is the #1 podcast ACROSS THE BOARD. The resistance is ON.

Chris Kluwe, a former NFL player for the Minnesota Vikings, was arrested after speaking out against plans to install a plaque with references to President Trump’s slogan “Make America Great Again” at a library in Huntington Beach, California.

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-...

Cuts to NSF expected to be at 50% reduction in force for an independent agency that fuels discovery and innovation. "The NSF budget was $9B, or 0.13% of the total [budget]." This is not about fiscal prudence. This is about killing universities. nanoscale.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-...

What are Musk and his hackers doing in the Social Security Administration? Americans paid into these accounts with our hard earned money. It has nothing to do with the deficit. That was caused by GOP tax cuts largely for the rich and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

From firing employees at the FAA to federal employees responsible for wildfire prevention and disease doctors, there are real stories impacting Americans on the ground. These are the stories Democrats should be messaging directly to their voters. Also, less singing please.

Jessica: There was a huge drop in support for President Trump and for Elon Musk. Trump’s approval rating is down 5-7 points across four of these big polls. He’s underwater on managing the economy by 8 points. Did you see those town halls? Rich McCormick were booing him.

I often turn to foreign policy expert Richard Haass to help make sense of the news abroad, but he also brings his sharp eye to domestic developments. Here, he lays out a measured blueprint for what Democrats should do about Trump.

Art speaks when words fail.

I posted this longer version on X #Emails2DOGE cc: [email protected]

Do you support President Zelenskyy and Ukraine 🇺🇦 in its fight against Russia? If so, raise a hand and pass it on! ✋

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

“RESIST. DO NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES.”Judge Ortiz emailed her EEOC colleagues after the anti-trans EO. She told me, “The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up. I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.”

Are you bored tonight? Send your five accomplishments, maybe your shopping list, or your five thoughts on Elon from the past week to OPM at [email protected].

Here’s the email everyone is getting from OPM. Embarrassing stuff.

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

Minnesota is leading the way on combatting climate change, and we’re creating clean energy jobs in the process. www.startribune.com/xcel-says-it...

I was born in 1984 When I found out there was a "scary" novel titled 1984 I thought "cool, I'll read it and find out what it's about" So I read it, and thought "man, that's some crazy shit, good thing we've got thing in place so that can never happen" 14 year old me was adorable and dumb

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
