Industries that should never prioritize profits: Libraries Healthcare services Education services Emergency services Transportation services Industries that need to be added to this list: Food services Housing services Communications services Energy services We pay taxes for this reason

Reminders that we are not propaganda: We give credit to the others idea where it's due (though that's been a while) We engage in shades of Grey We target intellectuals and reasonable arguments. If you're like me, and ever wonder for even a moment that we might be the bad guys: we aren't.

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Good morning America...💙

This is what a true leader looks like #charactermatters #honormatters #istandwithukraine 🇺🇦🇨🇦🤗💙

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

"There's no conflict of interest here"

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

👀 “I understand my duty as a prosecutor to mean enforcing the law impartially, and that includes prosecuting a validly returned indictment regardless whether its dismissal would be politically advantageous, to the defendant or to those who appointed me.” - Former Acting USA, SDNY Danielle Sassoon.

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at. You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters. Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

An important piece for the FBI ⬇️

BREAKING: Acting Deputy Attorney General Bove, who seeks to round up the folks at the DOJ/FBI who participated in the "grave national injustice" of working on J6 investigations is now reported to have himself worked on those cases. There is a word for this.

🚨 Prosecutors Quit Over Trump DOJ Directive To Dismiss Mayor Adams Case Emil Bove, Trump’s acting Deputy Attorney General of the DOJ, had issued a directive to the federal prosecutors in SDNY to dismiss the NYC Mayor Eric Adams criminal case. 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/weissman... #BreakingNews

BREAKING: Then-acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York says Adams’s attorneys offered a quid pro quo if indictment was dismissed.

Wow. The NYT reports that Acting Deputy AG Emil Bove coached Mayor Eric Adams' attorneys on what to argue in order to get the charges dismissed (namely, that the charges were interfering with the mayor's ability to cooperate with Trump's immigration crackdown): www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

2. Help Democrats The success of any opposition rests on the opposing party taking power. Next time you want to attack a Democrat for being too much of this or too little of that, realize that you are only helping the GOP. Instead, find a Democrat you support and volunteer for their campaign.

To all who commemorate legacy media's decline, happy one month anniversary of the Washington Post telling us that Pam Bondi should be confirmed as Attorney General. Don't get fooled again. Support independent, pro-democracy media. www.democracydocket.com

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

This!

True.

A Republican congressman just introduced a bill to abolish OSHA and get rid of federal safety protections for workers. Remind me— wasn’t it Republicans who claimed that they were the party of the working class?

So much for his Hippocratic oath.

"Elon Musk is not the president, but it appears that he—a foreign-born, unelected billionaire who was not confirmed by Congress—is exercising profound influence over the federal government of the United States...It is nothing short of an administrative coup." www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency
