OK peeps bring it on. Five bullet points. I’ll start. 1) Wasn’t a complete dick. 2) Didn’t try to destroy a democracy. 3) Provided safe clinical care to pediatric patients. 4) Took my kids to aquarium 5) Donated $ to Democrats. 6) Bonus: F**k you F’Elon.

I just want this entire thread reposted constantly.

He is a true hero.

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

Abso-f***ing-lutely.

Posting this crap from @nytimes.com because this normalization of evolving autocracy is dangerous. Dear Ross: This is like 1930s Germans saying, hey, hope Hitler doesn't squander this "vibe shift." And P.S. GW Bush was a dick who lied to us about Iraq. #sanewashing www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/o...

This is it

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

People need to speak to a fool as if he’s a fool.

Some backbone finally - thank you Governor Mills. He’s such a chump. www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol...

So I just got an email from the Social Security Administration about "Slam the Scam Day" (March 6th, by the way) - without any irony. You can actually click a link to report a scam...tempting. But also, seriously? Someone at SSA have a sense of humor?

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Taking a 5 second break from "politics," aka, the end of democracy to point out a random fact. I love how The Clash uses proper grammer ("...exactly WHOM I'm supposed to be...") in Should I stay or should I go? I appreciate punk rock using good grammar. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN1W...

I would have liked the AAP to have taken a stronger stance against this idiot, though I don't think it would have mattered. Stupid is as stupid does. This is going to get real ugly. apnews.com/article/chil...

Elon Musk attacked me on the platform he owns. I will not back down from the fight for democracy. @briantylercohen.bsky.social and I discuss. I hope you watch. youtu.be/XsR4QzK4yZ4

I'm in this piece. My OpEd on the subject drops Sunday in The Virginian-Pilot. This is how I resist. I use my words. Those who have experienced this phenomenon work very hard never to have that happen to them again.

This post from @hcrichardson.bsky.social should form the basis of Democrats’ (or all who support democracy) messaging for the next 2 years. Boil it down to its basic points, then repeat repeat repeat on all platforms/media outlets/messaging. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

This should be at the top of everyone's feed, every day, for the rest of the year.

This is it

This is an excellent round up of the news. Thank you
