šŸšØ #AltGov Alert šŸšØ With a labor of love and a dedication to their oath, @alt-dol.bsky.social has stepped up to bring Dept of Labor to the #AltGov team. Please join us in welcoming them but do it safely. We don't want any OSHA violations.

ā€œWe are going to conquer the vast frontiers of science, and weā€™re going to lead humanity into space and plant the American flag on the planet Mars and even far beyond.ā€ Hey guys weā€™re gonna go so farā€¦so, so, so farā€¦.in spaceā€¦where EVERYTHING IS FAR.

Mush is celebrating but we can still fuck shit up. ATTN feds: DO NOT provide access to any data without clearance from your leadership and legal. If a DOGE stooge communicates with you via email, copy everyone. If they drop by your desk or ask in a meeting, make them put it in writing. #LFG #altgov

Thank you for speaking out @mhcdc.bsky.social. I plan to personally express my disappointment at @markwarner.bsky.socialā€™s Fairfax office this week. Hope others will do the same.

I am organizing a resource fair to support federal workers and contractors on March 8th from 12:00 to 5:00 p.m. at Wakefield High School in Arlington.

Tomorrow! Don't miss your chance to learn about your rights as a federal worker or contractor! www.mobilize.us/arli...

Hey Virginia, do you want to hold your reps accountable for failing to meet the moment & stand up and fight? Want to replace them with fearless leadersā€”leaders with fire in their bellies, ready to fight for you tooth and nail? Then donā€™t abandon your local Democratic committeesā€”connect with them.

Conscience of Congress Removed: Al Green Walked Out: Jasmine Crockett, Maxwell Frost, Maxine Dexter, Andrea Salinas, LaMonica McIver, Sydney Kamlager-Dove, and several others Refused to Attend: AOC, Chris Murphy, Ron Wyden, Patty Murray, Gerry Connolly, Don Beyer History will honor these names šŸ”

Donald Trump stood in front of Congress tonight and reinforced what we already knew: Heā€™s a corrupt megalomaniac lunatic who is running our country to the ground. These are not normal times. Everything is not fine. We are in crisis.

This is an embarrassment. If you are a Virginian and don't like this, let your senator who is up for reelection know.

@aoc.bsky.social You guys should all be throwing your shoes tonight. Every 90 second he should have to stop and duck a shoe, two shoes, five shoes from every corner of the chamber

A completely normal statement by the leader of a country where free speech and the right to assembly is literally the first thing enshrined in the foundational documents of the country. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This is a strategy I can enthusiastically endorse.

Democrats shouldn't attend Donald Trump's joint session of Congress on Tuesday. None of them. Total boycott. Agree?

The truth is that vouchers don't work. They take funding from public schools while leaving behind students with disabilities, Black & brown students, & kids in rural communities with no private school options. Six facts on why vouchers donā€™t work šŸ‘‰ nea.org/vouchers

Dismantling the Department of Education wonā€™t give states more controlā€”it will defund and destabilize public schools. States already oversee most of public education, but federal support ensures students have the resources they need.

Zelensky's words won't leave my thoughts. 20,000 children abducted. Had their names and identities changed. "De-Ukrainianized". Folks, that's the straight up black and white text definition of "genocide". Look it up.

To donate to Ukraine you can go to war.Ukraine.ua/donate This is an official donation site supported by Zelenskyy (and USAID-that-was). We donated. #SlavaUkraini

If youā€™re at home today, not spending money, and feeling bored, you might be wondering, ā€œWhat could I do?ā€ Well, task one: you can make random reports on this website: enddei.ed.gov

Don't forget to invite your friends to this week-long Amazon boycott March 7-14. This is our starting point to people quitting their Amazon addictions altogether. www.facebook.com/events/13171... #Resist #Boycott #AmazonBoycott #BoycottAmazon

BREAKING: Josh Shapiro just sued Donald Trump and won, unfreezing $2.1 billion in funds the administration tried to freeze. Another win for Democrats in the courts. Donā€™t let anyone tell you Donald Trump is unstoppable.

Me and my neighbors are waiting for a statement from @markwarner.bsky.social with assurances that he wonā€™t capitulate and will be a big, fat NO on this horrible bill.

Is Donald Trump going to respond to Muskā€™s email and report on what he did last week? To help, Iā€™ve gone ahead and done it for him. A thread:

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you arenā€™t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

Wow. Great article WTVR, and a powerful reminder of how state and federal agencies and the dedicated civil servants who staff them work together to protect our most vulnerable loved ones and hold bad actors accountable for their mistreatment.

Putin shows Trump, his obsequious American fanboy, how itā€™s done.
