Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

That sounds like a plan that I can get on board with! 🤭😅🤣

When Rupert Murdoch’s rags turn on you …

Associated Press sues White House over ban from Oval Office and Air Force One www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Per @scaramucci.bsky.social: “He just fired the Joint Chief of Staff. Wants to install a puppet. For those who think that he is contemplating leaving, they don’t understand what happened on January 6.”

Secretary Turner wants to cancel HUD programs that serve seniors and people with disabilities. Harming seniors and vulnerable Americans does not make our government more efficient. Senator Warren, Senator Smith, and I are holding this Administration accountable.

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

A number of federal agencies, from HHS to the USDA, have laid off employees only to rescind those terminations days later. An expert says it "suggests something about mismanagement of government."

"The opposition is the majority."

who’s gonna do it, who will be the hero we needed

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

🫡🇺🇸 "Americans do not swear an oath to a king, a tyrant or a dictator. We swear an oath to the Constitution and the idea of ​​America, for which we are willing to die," — Mark Milley ❗️He said that every US military member gives his life to protect the Constitution, not to individuals.

. General Mark Milley was right . . . ... and he's still right ! 💠 👊 💠

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Folks are asking, “what should I do in this moment?” One of the most passionate, progressive voices in Congress for 30 years, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden answers that question. Here’s our conversation, inside a replica of the Senate chamber at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute: youtu.be/n_nQ-Moa9fI?...

Just wow 😮 that’s fantastic thanks 🙏 Bernie!

This is so ignorant and backwards and will cause lengthy delays for people who need healthcare 🤬🤬🤬

Wise man…

Dont fucking do it! 🦋💙🦋 www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Love to see it!

How many of my academic friends saw this? Pitt Pauses All PhD Admissions. www.wesa.fm/health-scien...

KEEP PUSHING! If they won’t do a town hall DEMAND ONE

83% of Americans disapprove of King Donold’s pardoning his Jan. 6 goon squad, and now his poll numbers are falling faster than a gold-plated toilet in a hurricane. SMITE!

Great idea…💯

👏👏👏

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

From United Humanists on FB

He nails it.

Reality: you might loose Medicaid, higher rent food gas prices, data (IRS health UDSA etc.) stolen, cuts for farmers Vets 9/11 survivors, deportations…it’s hitting 💯

Charles Gaba @charlesgaba.com has been chronicling state by state how much health insurance premiums will go up next year if the ACA subsidies are not extended. acasignups.net/tags/subsidy... Here's his analysis of how Iowans will be affected: www.bleedingheartland.com/2024/12/26/i...

Thanks 🙏🏽 helps to inform masses and most of the light blue are due to their State Government not doing ACA or promoting it!

As a caregiver, I’m amazed at the number of people who don’t understand this. I’ve had to explain it to children of dementia patients so many times I’ve lost count.

Is Elon a govt employee? If he is, he needs to be held responsible for the intense and number lies he is putting out with constant “if true then…” If he isn’t then he needs to get the hell away from my govt.

Please follow and support former Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe — an inspiring representation of our OPPOSITION movement. Earlier this week, Kluwe appeared at a city council meeting in Huntington Beach City, California and exercised his right to peaceful civil disobedience —…
