I went to see a really good band tonight. Great musicians. Right up until they played Dixie for their closing number. "This one's for two of my great-great grandfathers." I walked out.

‼️FLORIDA PEEPS‼️ Get out and vote! ✌️ Spread the word…📢

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Who loses when funding stops? Families, kids, and seniors. Who wins? The wealthy and Trump’s special interests. Unfortunately, MAGA Reps don’t seem to care…

MaryBeth Hastings has devoted her career to human rights, one of the many people in #MD08 who have seen their lives, livelihood and work upended by the attacks on USAID. Thanks MaryBeth for reminding us: foreign aid is critical for democratic solidarity.

📚 WATCH: “I can’t do much, but I can do this.” As Rutherford County and other districts ban hundreds of books, a SMYRNA book store owner is offering banned books for free. #BannedBooksBrigade Full: www.newschannel5.com/news/how-one...

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.

MUST READ: Donald Trump, Code Name: Krasnov, is a KGB Asset! bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

Support trans and nonbinary Girl Scouts and buy some cookies 🍪 www.erininthemorning.com/p/2025-trans...

See, with the information filtering out of former KGB agents about ‘Krasnov’ (the handler’s name for Trump) being recruited in 1987, it bothers me that #auspol feels that ‘Hey, this seems like a reliable chap with whom we can do business.’ It’s either stupid, or evil www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

If you're looking for an alternative to amazon.

Wow! The number of @bsky.app users just passed 32 MILLION! 👏 LETS DO THIS!

REMEMBER: Next Friday, February 28. NOT 1 PENNY SPENT. We can do this. I'm IN, are you? 👋💙

Steve Bannon did a Sieg Heil at CPAC. I'm a 3rd generation Holocaust survivor. My grandparents met in a Concentration Camp. My grandfather's wife & young daughter were murdered. My grandmother's brothers were murdered. Her mother died in her arms from starvation. Is THIS what life in America is NOW?

Always women standing up to him: Gov. Janet Mills told Trump to his face today that Maine will not comply with his executive order banning transgender athletes from women’s sports.

My staff has received reports that because of the Trump Administration staff cuts, the National Park Service Maggie Walker Site can open only twice a week… during #BlackHistoryMonth. Today I joined Virginia Delegation members to call for the reversals of these cuts.

Just looked at the front page of the Stanford Daily - & wow, talk about complying in advance! So many stories about their abandoning their commitment to inclusiveness. They pulled the BLM exhibit banner down from the library too. And they are private with a huge endowment! stanforddaily.com

Read the real stories about what USAID cuts mean, not the Musk propaganda www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

Please #CreditTheCartoonist They do appreciate it. thank you @bagleycartoons.bsky.social 👍 🖖

Call to Action: Elon Musk protest. Fort Lauderdale, Florida. February 22 at 1:30PM. #3E #USProtest #TeslaTakeover #ProtestFL #Feb22

🤔

We've got ourselves an old fashioned Friday news dump. What's happened over the past few hours:

72 million Americans are on the chopping block to lose their healthcare if Republicans pass the budget that came out of the House. AOC (D-NY) voices her concerns daily telling her colleagues on the other side of the aisle that people are yelling Don’t Cut My Medicare. AOC has no fucks left to give.

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

(panting) we are very concerned about which genitals are in which bathrooms, and what they're doing in there, and we want you all to tell us what's going on, with the genitals, in the bathrooms,

Bravo ! 👏🏾 www.huffpost.com/entry/us-tru...
