Never forgive, never forget

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities. That means: 🚫 No gas from corporate giants 🚫 No fast food chains 🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

Today's @usatoday.com front page First US death from measles in 10 years First child to die from measles in 22 years in the US All of this fully preventable

Good!

This shouldn’t surprise many of you… 💅 😈 🐾🐾

BREAKING Project 2025 leader and current OMB head Russ Vought directs all agencies to create plans for large-scale layoffs ("Reductions in Force") by March 13.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Democratic Leadership! Please listen TO HER!! @ Governor Jared Polis @ Senator Bennett @ Senator Hickenlooper

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

💥 BREAKING: At Apple's 2025 annual meeting of shareholders today, proposal entitled “Request to Cease DEI Efforts" is rejected by shareholders. Right-wing nonprofit National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR) proposal was also rejected by Costco shareholders 98-2 percent.

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes. Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

A GOP aide said House Republican leaders are urging lawmakers to stop engaging in them altogether. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Billionaire owner of Washington Post seizes control of opinion page. Will focus nearly exclusively to promote rightwing libertarianism. "Viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others." Democracy Docket will expand its pro-democracy opinion section. www.democracydocket.com

Look at this leader. Lift her up.

Joseph Pulitzer challenged Bly to investigate one of NY’s most notorious mental asylums, Blackwell’s Island. Bly accepted the challenge and feigned mental illness to expose firsthand how women there were treated. Her reporting shocked the public www.womenshistory.org/education-re...

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is asked about the reports that migrants were "shackled" and held in "cages" at Guantanamo Bay: "It's a promise the President campaigned on." Vile woman.

Boycotts are taking hold. Protests are on the rise. Federal courts are hitting back. The Trump-Musk-Vance regime's popularity is plunging and DOGE is losing credibility. In these dark times, it's important to recognize that people are fighting back. Join them.

Holy shit. This is scary. Senator Chris Murphy just revealed on the Senate floor that Republicans now have the votes to cut $2 trillion in services for seniors on Medicare and kids on Medicaid. Tomorrow is the House’s vote. $2 TRILLION IN CUTS. The worst part 👇

Red lights flashing. Sirens blaring.

For those of you who watched the video of an Idaho woman experiencing handmaid‘s tale treatment, now is the time to decide what you would do in that situation—whether it's you or whether you're nearby when this happens to someone else. We are in a moment where we all have to decide who we are.

A message from the brave woman - Dr, Teresa Borrenpohl - who was dragged out by unmarked private security in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

Here’s the new Deputy Director of the FBI. 👇

This seems like a really bad idea, esp. for someone with no experience in ATF’s guns/arson/bombs based prosecutions or their regulatory mission (on top of the slightly demanding job of being FBI director: Kash Patel to also take over as acting ATF director www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Trump can fuck all the way off. He doesn’t get to rewrite history. “Take these seeds and put them in your pockets, so at least sunflowers [Ukrainian national flower] will grow when you all lie down here.” — Ukrainian Woman to Russian soldiers. Russia invaded Ukraine, February 24, 2022.

looking back everything went to shit when Schoolhouse Rock stopped airing

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 —…

McConnell marked the solemn occasion with a minute-long moment of silence in the middle of a sentence.

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

AGAIN: If they actually cared about the deficit they wouldn’t also be cutting trillions in taxes for the rich. They think we are all very dumb.

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.
