Let's remember this...

Sen. Bill Cassidy, a physician, must have known this would happen. The truth is, he was too scared to vote to tank RFK Jr. So all this is on him.

There is no such thing as a humane mass deportation. There will be concentration camps on military bases, separations, assaults, sexual assaults, child molestation, human trafficking & deaths that this administration, Border Patrol, ICE & CBP will attempt to hide.

Elon Musk's private security detail has been deputized as Federal Marshalls and can carry firearms on Federal property. What could possibly go wrong? www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

Exactly. Blue states should opt out and band together.

The fact that telehealth for medicare ends at the end of March is a tragedy I see multiple patients virtually who have a really hard time getting to the office and it provides definitive benefit for these people

13wham.com/amp/news/nat... The layoffs are already having a negative effect. The VA is in complete disarray. I was told the other day, 4-6 week wait just to process a referral for an orthopedic surgeon I need. It will take months to get an appointment with the surgeon after that.

I am Ukrainian, and I have a say in this. Zelenskyy isn’t a dictator, he is the only legal president until victory of Ukraine. To all the Americans repeating Trump/Putin’s lies, go f* yourself.

These Trump voters think ICE is scooping up hardened criminals and people in communities of color. By the time their nanny, their neighborhood restaurant owner, their beautician is gone (because ICE only cares about quantity/quotas, not criminality) it will be too late.

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

Everyone has things in their career of which they're ashamed. Nothing...and I mean nothing...in my career in politics makes me more ashamed and regretful than supporting and promoting Marco Rubio. He is the most craven betrayer of his stated ideals of any human I've ever met.

This weasel actually insists it’s a “longstanding norm” that only the president or his attorney general can say “what the law is” which is, of course, absolute garbage.

At the behest of Wall Street donors, Congressional Republicans are trying to overturn the CFPB's new rule against predatory overdraft fees. The rule would have capped overdraft charges at $5, saving consumers $5B annually. The GOP is the party of junk fees.

“Democrats seem to be waiting for Trump, Musk, and MAGA to naturally become unpopular, instead of working overtime to make them unpopular. We can’t wait. We need a unified, aggressive, and creative opposition in this country.” Read more from @leahgreenberg.bsky.social and @ezralevin.bsky.social. 👇

I tried to warn everyone...is why Trump is in my book #Strongmen and here, a year ago: open.substack.com/pub/lucid/p/...

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

In South Carolina, tonight: “I have an ectopic pregnancy. It’s on my ovary. They’re making me risk my ovary even though I don’t want to. They refuse to do the surgery.” #ForcedBirthNation Original Post: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2yCKENt/

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

I sincerely doubt any journalist of color I know would be allowed to write "I didn't know this important aspect of US history and read the Wikipedia summary of it to catch up" in a prominent newsletter read by every important person in the nation's capital

Did you see how Ukraine was dressed? It was asking for it.

Another way this feels similar to COVID — the disaster is already unfolding but the people in charge seem to think it’ll only impact “blue” areas.

These are the kinds of stories about the human costs of the Trump-Musk coup that desperately need telling right now. Local news outlets and independent journalists can do a lot of important work here, for their own communities but also for the national effort to push back against this insanity.

this is certain to be popular with Trump's base. I see nothing that could go wrong here!

The phenomenon of “leftist language policing” is 99% a product of centrists whining about it constantly. I almost never encounter it in real life and requests for vocabulary updates are typically non-binding guidelines for formal written documents.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Currently on a great MoveOn call with over a thousand Organizers and advocates! If you tag me in your post that includes an RSVP link to a local protest/event, I will re-post! Take it to the streets! #FireElon

No kings! The @50501movement.bsky.social held a rally today in Chicago's Millennium Park to shout that we the people refuse to abide by would-be dictators Trump & Musk.

Trump wants to extend his tax cuts for rich individuals, which would add $4.6T to the deficit. But he wants to go even further, cutting the corporate tax rate to 15%. It's yet another absolutely shameless giveaway.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.
