Wealthy elites know that tax cuts for the super-rich are extremely unpopular. It’s why they try to distract us with scapegoats like immigrants, trans people, and a catch-all like DEI. Don’t fall for it.

So. You're one of many who may not be the most tech savvy, BUT, you still know that protecting your data right now is extremely important. What steps can you take? (a thread)

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

A former Soviet intelligence officer alleges Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename “Krasnov.” Alnur Mussayev served in the 6th Directorate, responsible for counter-intelligence support in the economy. One key objective was “recruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.”

Cutting Medicaid will force millions of families to choose between paying for healthcare or putting food on the table. That's not a choice anyone should have to make. #DontCutMyMedicaid

Elon Musk claims he's slashing government to reduce the debt. A weak, starved, homeless, overwhelmed, uneducated population is easier to control. They're establishing a dictatorship. Musk calls it Technocracy, Yarvin calls it monarchy, Thiel calls it freedom. It's a dictatorship.

We the people are the leaders you have been waiting for. Join the movement and make your voice heard. This is fundamental to being a citizen of a democracy.

Never forget.

Important 🧵: Stanford political scientist uses data to show DOGE is attacking “liberal” agencies, not focusing on waste & inefficiency: “The hardest hit agencies are those that regulate industry, protect public health, and expand access to education.”

News: CDC's MMWR just released. Four papers (the most we've seen since censorship in January), including the infamous feline H5N1 study that had been held back... www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes...

Republicans in Congress afraid of being killed by MAGA don't understand they're endangering themselves and their families by failing to stop Trump from turning America into a mafia state, like Russia www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

It’s amazing to me that when Donnie calls himself a king, everyone listens. But when the Supreme Court crowned him king last year, crickets.

Thank you @govpritzker.illinois.gov

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

He should be our messenger.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Winston Churchill was right: "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried.” Too many Americans have fought and died defending democracy. We must stand with our European allies against the authoritarianism of Putin and Trump.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

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.

Just wanted to share this insane real-time video of the aurora Maia sent me last night during her tour. She drove guests to around Salcha, Alaska to escape a cloudy Fairbanks. Check out the real-time motion here, just crazy! High speed streams do wonders for high-latitudes. :)

These are the ads about Elon Musk that the Washington Post refused to run. The paper offered NO EXPLANATION. This is the problem with outlets that are CONTROLLED BY BILLIONAIRES focused on ingratiating themselves with Trump. Support independent media: muskwatch.com/subscribe

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”

Presidents are not kings. And we are not powerless. In Congress and the courts—with protests and local organizing—we can expose the radicalism of Trump nominees, show how his actions hurt real people, obstruct his agenda, and put checks on his lawlessness. I will keep fighting.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

We remember Alexey Navalny on the one year anniversary of his “death“. This patriot has given us a peak into America’s possible future if we don’t take things into our own hands- Before it’s too late. #LetFreedomRing 🇺🇸

If you claim to be a leader but are too scared to lead, fine -- sit down and let someone else take your place. It is easy to be bold when there is no threat. Now is a time for courage. www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

We are fighting an administrative coup. The top question we keep getting asked is WHAT CAN I DO? The basic answer: resist every unjust, unfair, and unconstitutional policy at every level. We've organized a few simple actions on our website > choosedemocracy.us/what-can-i-do/

Knowledge is power…

The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering it, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.

Tesla protests all over the US today. People resisting the Elon Musk coup 👏👏 You won’t see much coverage on mainstream media, but the #TeslaTakedown is gathering momentum. These photos were taken today in - Boston - Minneapolis - Tucson - Berkeley #BoycottTesla (See ALT text for photo credits)

Making Measles Great Again.

The new Macklemore video everyone’s talking about. You might think it’s about Palestine, but it’s bigger than that. It’s about social media controlling what we see, hear, and think. It’s a call to action. Whew… “fucked up.” youtu.be/sn9EKC9nqU4?...

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

This week, approximately 200,000 federal workers have been let go.

If Elon Musk truly cares about being "maximally transparent," he should release the forms showing his financial interests. Americans deserve to know how Elon Musk will profit from his role in the Trump Administration. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Democrats standing up! 👏
