I’m positive you all saw the video from Coeur d’Alene, where a woman was pulled out of her seat and arrested by men who claimed to be sheriff deputies, but were not in uniform. I need the men to do something: When you see a woman being abused, step in. Step up. Get in the way. Put your body to use.

Promoting an 0-9 to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is insane - Trump is going to have to promote him to four star AND waive the legal requirements to even hold the position Dan Caine had a distinguished career, but he’s never been a vice chair, combatant commander or service chief

Every day, they're testing how far they can take this. If they think they can take it all the way, they absolutely will. But we don't have to let them.

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

EXCLUSIVE (by me, heh) New York Times caught passing off GOP flack as average Black voter www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

There’s no better way to describe the dumbfuckery of #Felontrump letting #Immigrantmusk rape & rob our country. Republicans/Maga is this what you voted for? I sure as hell did NOT! I voted for her! #DemVoice1

Convicted Felon Donald Trump did this. If he can take credit for a booming stock market, he can take credit when it drops like a rock. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #TrumpIsACriminal

This Wall Street Journal video about the cost of military deportation flights is one of the wildest things I've seen in a while. It cost $2.8 million—with 2 in-air refuelings!—to deport 104 people to India on February 4. $27,000 per deported person. www.wsj.com/video/analys...

The Daily Beast used a lot of words to avoid saying Nazi salute.

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

🚨Senator Tammy Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed House budget resolution & paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid." Medicaid affects 70M+ Americans. THIS WOULD BE DEVASTATING!🚨

is this bad?

Across the nation, thousands protested on Monday, slamming tRump’s heinous agenda. They called him a “king” on Presidents’ Day, condemning his actions dismantling the federal government and inflicting pain on countless citizens. We demand accountability and justice! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...

Big crowd at the SF Tesla dealership protesting our unelected overlord. A tiny sign hangs from an upstairs window

No KINGS! NOT OUR PRESIDENT! Lively rally across from SF City Hall. Thousands present

@norcalresist.bsky.social Sacramento recently. The crowd continues to grow at 1:40

Air travel has traditionally been the safest way to travel, but the number of crashes and incidents in the last weeks needs serious investigation and oversight. What we should not be doing is firing skilled FAA technicians and staff – we need to hire MORE of them.

Target's shareholders lost $15 billion of net worth in their holdings of Target common stock when Target announced they were dropping DEI initiatives.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Sadly the best sources of American politics news now come from outside the U.S.

Donald Trump just quoted Napoleon. Napoleon was a dictator, who seized power in a violent coup at gun and cannon point. He then invaded all his neighbors, citing patriotic duty, resulting in 3 to 6 MILLION people dying -- obliterating his army and country in the process.

BREAKING: StatNews reports that more than 5,000 HHS employees across NIH, CDC and other public health and research agencies will be fired this afternoon. www.statnews.com/2025/02/14/f...

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

Trump-Musk are firing roughly 5,200 federal employees who work on health care this afternoon: www.statnews.com/2025/02/14/f...

Ant going on a date.. 😅

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Pure unadulterated lies and Russia propaganda coming from the Oval Office.

Holy Shit. They're burning through people pretty fast now. After Sassoon refused/resigned, the next two people - heads of Public Integrity Section (DC) and the Criminal Division also refused/resigned. This all JUST happened. And these are all 'actings', so they're people the Trump crew chose.

The outrage over Nixon's "Saturday Night Massacre" came when the top two officials at the DOJ resigned rather than follow his corrupt orders. These posts aren't as prominent, but their resignations should help force more attention on the insanely corrupt bargain between Adams and Trump.

This was is same pretext the Nazis cited before they invaded other countries.

Who benefits from US - burning its most important alliances - alienating govts, people throughout the world - killing millions thru vaporizing of USAID - reigniting inflation, disrupting global trading system, exploding the deficit - destroying capacity of US govt to function Trump = Russia First

From Hopium: - Standing Up For Our Democracy, Every Day - my new video abt the current political moment - Inflation is rising, the economy is slowing and Trump’s job approval is falling fast & hard - Trump appears to have thrown Ukraine under Putin’s bus 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/standing-u...

These lines in Sassoon's letter to the U.S. Attorney General could provide a solid basis for NY Governor Kathy Hochul to remove Mayor Adams from office.

Brianna Keilar: Do you think that calling Elon Musk a dick is effective messaging? Congressman Robert Garcia: Well, he is a dick.

This is your daily reminder that it's a coup.
