This constituent is a CHAMP!!!!

Did Google really destroy its cultural events calendar (Black History Month) etc because it's afraid of trump? Let them know you'll be looking for an alternative sign.moveon.org/petitions/re...

In the #BrokenTimes totalitarian dictionary, surrender to fascist Russia is a "deal" and extortion of Ukraine is a "feud." U.S. and Ukraine Appear to Move Closer to Deal for Minerals Amid Leaders’ Public Feud www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/w...

Appropo of nothing, I just shared this 2 min video with my students so they know what the recent past looked like and their potential future as parents, health/science professionals, and as members of our society. #GoodTimes youtu.be/AW0gsP3EgDI?...

More good reporting like this, please, cutting through the lies and bullshit of Musk et al. This is the #GoodTimes DOGE’s Only Public Ledger Is Riddled With Mistakes www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Trump: Fire hundreds of thousands of career civil servants trying to keep America safe and running. Also, Trump: Give DHS a budget of up to $200 million to run anti-immigrant ads that repeatedly thank Trump for leading an immigration crackdown. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

JD Vance needs a civic refresher - if not from us, then maybe from a fifth grader. They at least know there are three branches of government. www.kuow.org/stories/vice...

Scientists need to face the reality that this is not some temporary funding crisis while a bumbling administration sorts out their priorities. This is an intentional assault on academia by accelerationist extremists who wish to break society. Fascism must be met in the streets.

Democrats need to reclaim "America the Beautiful". This is our country, we love it, and it is beautiful. That's why we need to save it from Trump www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctxy...

The thing that Elon and Donald have in common most is that they're just doing it to get away with it. It's a spite and spray.

Trump make plane crash

"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."

MUSKED(adj or verb): To have your job, private information, or freedoms taken away to enrich or entertain a billionaire.

Why is this so hard for news orgs? www.status.news/p/cbs-evenin...

I missed this one: CNN filed a FOIA request for some information about DOGE accessing records at the office of personnel management, and someone from OPM wrote back saying "Good luck with that, they just fired the whole privacy team." newrepublic.com/post/191663/...

Shameful stuff.

This is a powerful story by the Kyiv Independent. The lede and the kicker are particularly elegant. kyivindependent.com/who-started-...

Canadians are now referring to the United States as the 11th province

NEW: On Section 504. "Attacks on any one group will be used as a wedge to attack all of us. You may not personally know any trans people, and you may even be uncomfortable with the idea ... but letting this attack go forward will eventually hurt you and the things you love, too." /1

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

It's all fun & games until one of your own buddies, a 20-year US Military veteran & someone who definitely didn't "do DEI," gets purged up by DOGE.

China already knows what kind of a person Musk is and always has been - they've just been able to position themselves as the one with the leverage. The US? Just beginning to learn, and having already handed over the reins...

Hey, fellow #TeslaTakedown participants(And anyone that wants to!): I noticed that, unlike with a march, most of the people passing the protest I was at were drivers. They often didn't have time to read and absorb our signs. 1/4

"“In the US, we appeal rulings we disagree with – we don’t ignore court orders or threaten judges with impeachment just because we don’t like the decision. This is a coup, plain and simple,” Arizona’s attorney general, Kris Mayes, said." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is it 👇 #TeslaTakedown

"I think there's real risk of a generation or more of data being lost." - Dr. Michael Greicius, neurology professor at Stanford University, on the damage Trump's cuts to NIH research will do to progress on a treatment for Alzheimer's disease, adding as much as 20 years to the timeline.

It's past midnight, and Senate Republicans are voting NO against every Democratic-led amendment to PROTECT HEALTH CARE for our families. Pay close attention: Republicans are working to push kids off Medicaid to pass MORE tax cuts for billionaires.

The entire White House can’t even admit Russia invaded Ukraine. Does the Kremlin even deny this? I thought their lie was they were pushed to do it.

If you haven't yet, make an account with Social Security dot gov. See how much you've paid into SS over your lifetime. It's YOUR money that you've loaned to the government until your retirement. It's not a fucking "entitlement" beyond the fact that only YOU are entitled to it. Elon Musk is not.
