Do this. Say this. 👇🏻

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

He nails it.

Another weekend for self-care in the age of the Copper-coated Crap Crusader. Watching the next Doctor Who story (a reconstruction and surviving episodes) The Crusade (1965). #TraitorTrump #DoctorWho

Trump isn't a king. His lies about power must be stopped before they settle in. America is a democracy, not a monarchy. No leader should rule by decree or ignore laws. We must reject the myth of Trump as king—before it becomes a dangerous reality. #fakeking #dumptrump

In 2028 this is what a Democratic president needs to do. We will win if you all vote blue this time.

Hey, look, here’s @chriswarcraft.bsky.social out there walking the walk www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/f...

Sweet Baby Jesus, Why did you take our brains from us? Was it the Trump bibles? Was it worshiping a golden oaf? How can we make amends?

As we watch DOGE eliminate critical government functions, I'm reminded of "A Libertarian Walks into a Bear." newrepublic.com/article/1596...

Now we are starting to see MAGA voters flooding the town halls of their republican House member and expressing outrage at the orange felon and Nazi Musk for attacking their health care and social security benefits. This is called FAFO. Don’t cry now, enjoy what you voted for.

So, you don't want to go down with the ship you helped set on fire? You absolute coward.

⚡️Tusk proposes 3-point plan to strengthen Ukraine, European security. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Feb. 20 proposed a three-point plan to strengthen Ukraine in its fight against Russia's full-scale invasion and enhance European security.

The worst Democratic governor...

Facts....

Dear Americans, The only way anything ever gets better is for all the spoiled morons of America to suffer the consequences of their own vile, stupid, hate-filled plans. They may destroy the Department of Education but in time they will learn that pain is a wonderful teacher.

Recognize fascism for what it is. The current administration’s anti-information bent, idiot appointees, and mass firings are all part of the same authoritarian plan. Loyalty cannot come with caveats. He wants simps and sycophants; anyone capable of being more is a threat.

Trickle up economics.

1. Despite Republican attacks in recent years, America is queerer than ever before. LGBTQ+ identification has risen to 9.3% in the last Gallup Poll, a huge jump from 7.6% last year. I cover the latest numbers in my story. Subscribe to support my journalism.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

WSJ says Twitter is telling advertisers to spend more with them “or else” — “They are afraid of the legal/political ramifications of not doing so.” Do y’all get it yet? www.wsj.com/business/med...

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

gravedigger of american democracy. a more malign influence than john c calhoun.

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

How’s this prediction going so far?

I cannot tell a lie: George Washington would have gone Revolutionary on trump over that "King" bullshit

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

HELL YEAH: In a masterful speech, the Democratic governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker announces not ONLY a balanced budget in his state but alludes to Donald Trump and Elon Musk as being “IDIOTS.” Let me know if you agree with him.

THIS is how you communicate. Say it plain.

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”

BREAKING: Massive protest rallies are happening today across the country, blasting DOGE and the guy that nobody voted for. There will even be a protest at SpaceX headquarters. SPREAD THE WORD. 🙏💪

People are fleeing Florida and Texas. As of Jan. 2025, those states collectively accounted for over 30% of ALL homes for sale in the US. Florida had 157,221 active listings—the highest in the country—followed by Texas with 102,552. Repressive state governments and rising insurance are to blame.

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

Feeling this new bit of jewelry will make my mood clear for the forseeable future #FrenchRevolution

Slashing funding for life-saving treatment for personal gain: It's cruel, it's heartless, it's Elon.

Here is the ad the Washington Post refused to run about Elon Musk this weekend. And here is the ad the Post was happy to run by a rightwing group funded by Musk that smeared me in October. I started Democracy Docket to be fiercely independent and prodemocracy. Check it out. www.democracydocket.com

All 50 US States protested today but you wouldn’t know it unless you are on BlueSky. Remember to keep reaching out for others to join. This movement is going to get a lot bigger and we need all hands on deck. You are not alone. #3E #USprotests

On our way to the Capitol. Please be safe out there today. 💙💪

Trump wants to extend his tax cuts for rich individuals, which would add $4.6T to the deficit. But he wants to go even further, cutting the corporate tax rate to 15%. It's yet another absolutely shameless giveaway.

Just wonderful writing on the 60 Minutes piece on President aMusk dismantling of USAID "The world's richest man cut off aid for the world's poorest people." Well done.
