Good work, as usual @kaine.senate.gov

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history! Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.

We have each other. We are the Resistance now. All of us.

One of these things is not like the others

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

Welcome to the RFK Jr Era of Public Health.

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

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 This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.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

Awesome to see some of the best Storytellers in the country on BlueSky and in virtual programs!!!

Yep, DOGE is as incompetent as everyone thought. An $8 million "saving" has been listed as an $8 BILLION saving. That is 14.5% of their total claimed $55 billion in "savings" having been completely made up.

a government full of sexual abusers taking the position that you can't say no

In a 4-3 ruling, the Wisconsin Supreme Court dismissed a right-wing legal challenge that sought to limit the authority of municipalities to designate early absentee voting locations and prevent future use of a mobile voting van deployed by the city of Racine during the 2022 election cycle.

Great idea!

Cutting NASA's workforce by about 10 percent. That's a boost to the Chinese and Russians. And the guy in charge of SpaceX made this decision? That's a total conflict of interest. Moreover, firing all probationary employees shows they're not serious about evaluating programs. It's a machine gun.

Truth. Remember this.

I am still planning to fly places, but I am definitely a little more concerned.

Truth about USAID. Listen & know.

Agreed!!

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

I agree with this.

Yes, let them begin. Also, let the public know how we can provide immediate help. Finally, public folk start sharing your NOS stories - visits, invitation, what it looks like at places now. Share the stories.

So did I. The ending was a thing of conversations to be held. Wonderful movie!

Thank you to everyone who has joined the resistance! Our ranks grow stronger every day.

@mcuban.bsky.social Can you help here?

It’s sad on the eve of Presidents Day it’s appropriate to have to post this.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

This is a very heavy day for us. To those who lost their jobs, we are with you and will work with you again. To those struggling to see a future for our work, do not give up. Real change in public health has always been a battle. Now it’s a war. We will win it. This is our country. #RISEUP

Trans rights are human rights. #standupfightback #transrights #visibility #nyc #stonewall

Musk, Vance & Trump all misrepresent democracy. When they say “democracy”, they mean a free-for-all with no rule of law, where the winner takes all. When Europe says “democracy”, we mean proportional representation, collaborative politics, citizen rights, and agreed guide rails guaranteed by law.

I am all about it, even though it will be a struggle, as I travel that day. But the struggle I what taking back our rights requires. Please join me. Oh, and I cut off ALL Amazon - prime, movies, even my beloved Audible. But it is worth it.

Today, we honor Frederick Douglass on his chosen birthday. 🎂 His 1855 autobiography MY BONDAGE AND MY FREEDOM is a powerful account of his journey from enslavement to freedom. Read it here ➡️ https://archive.org/details/mybondagemyfreed6062doug/ #Blackhistorymonth #LetReadersRead #InternetArchive

Look, I am all in for maximizing government efficiency. I even passed a law that got way more transparency into how we’re spending. But taking a hatchet to all federal funding, to agencies that save Americans money, to critical medical grants… that just creates chaos & disorder.

Powerful last line.

Since the National Park Service is trying to erase the singular role that trans people played in starting Stonewall, here’s a piece I wrote about the devastating, four-decade-long consequences of erasing trans women in the 1970s from the queer rights movement. www.thenation.com/article/arch...

Another delusional idea from President Trump: closing the Department of Education. Closing the Department would hurt every student and our economic growth and competitiveness for decades to come. I will use every tool at my disposal to ensure this doesn’t happen. abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

All in the Family! So very sad and angering. 😒😡

Don't forget peeps 💥

We’re not going to call it the Gulf of America. Some thoughts on the latest episode of “The Jim Acosta Show.”
