The Trump regime will round you up off the street and arrest you because you spoke your mind. And federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it. It's fascism. Call it what it is.

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

Brazen corruption. 💰

Happening already 🤑

It is an American crime NOT to stand with Ukraine!

Chris Murphy: "Everyone who signs up to work for Donald Trump is signing up for one single project, and that is the transition of American democracy to a kind of kleptocratic oligarchy in which the billionaires rule and get to steal from regular Americans."

The US has become a lawless Country Governed by a Crime Syndicate.

Rep. Jim Himes: Zelenskyy is watching 70,000 dead Ukrainians. Missiles are slamming into hospitals. This is what he’s seeing, and he comes to the Oval Office, and a reporter asks him why he’s not wearing a suit. And the effing VP wants him to say thank you…

Musk & Putin have successfully hacked America by exploiting a major vulnerability in our country: the Republican Party.

Trump has long been a serial abuser and gaslighter, but even for him, claims that he couldn't solve the Russia-Ukraine War because of Zelenskyy, that Zelenskyy (unlike Putin) opposes peace, and that Ukraine opposes peace because the US supports it so _ardently_—when Trump has abandoned it—are vile.

We had Russia on the ropes. They were crippled by sanctions. They had made minimal headway into Ukraine. Putin had to survive a military uprising within his own ranks. He was down to pleading for conscripts from North Korea. Then he played his ace in the hole. Donald Motherfucking Trump.

RFK Jr’s top spokesman at HHS resigns after just 2 weeks after reporting clashing with him about his response to the measles epidemic in Texas. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Pritzker: "We're talking about the death of a constitutional republic. That's what happened in Germany in 1933, 1934. And we're seeing today that we've got an administration in Washington that's ignoring court orders."

Cutting $880 billion from Medicaid is going to have a lot of devastating consequences for a lot of people

He nails it.

Knowledge is power…

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

From Lincoln to Eisenhower, how the "liberal consensus" emerged to protect the people from the wealthy elite. MAGA acts like it's for the everyday American, but it's destroying everything that protects us from the rich plunderers. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Black History Month Langston Hughes!

Canadians are booing the US National anthem at every event and I don’t blame them one bit.

@revsuwade.bsky.social So good of you to find me, Suzanne. Great to be reconnected!

For more than 150 years, through Democratic and Republican administrations, the US and Canada have been the closest of allies. Beyond the economic harm that his senseless tariffs will surely cause, Donald Trump is sending a clear message to the world that the United States can no longer be trusted.

The freezing of federal grants, the firing of all inspector generals, the immunization of political violence - does everybody not see what’s happening? In a blitzkrieg, Trump is trying to collapse our democracy - and probably our economy - and seize control. Call it what it is.

This is heartbreaking and that is the point. Create as much chaos and misery as possible while creating a huge purse of $ to try and plunder.

365 days a year!

Today is the most consequential day in American history after November 5, 2024. The Senate will determine whether we may be able to keep our country, or we turn it over to enemies. Make the right choice, and forcefully reject Patel and Gabbard.

"Flood the zone" is ultimately unsustainable for Trump. Don't chase every outrage. Focus on the big stuff, and keep messaging he's hurting the economy, and American families. They want you screaming about the "Gulf of America" while they cut off SNAP for poor kids. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/28/u...

Hey guys! I’ve started something new. My new Substack… Go check it out! jimacosta.substack.com/p/hold-on-to...

How can anyone in their right mind ignore this letter from Caroline Kennedy about her cousin, RFK Jr.?

As chilling a meme as I have seen. But I agree.

This aged well.

🔥🔥🔥🔥 @maddow.msnbc.com Kash Patel was the chief of staff for ACTING secretary of defense Chris Miller on January 6th and DENIED 14 calls for the National Guard and lied about it.

I have the honor of working with the youth in my community. I also can communicate in Spanish. Lately, I have been asked, " Am I going to be deported? — honestly, this isn't it, America, placing fear into children. You would understand if you could only see their faces when they ask me. 🙏🏾😞

Excellent post

#UkrainianView It is a typical New Testament. Some priests side with the emperor and create an artificial religion. They stone or kill whomever against them. When Jesus comes, they conspire to kill him and agitate civillians against his preachings. If you need specific citations, I can bring some.🔽

15 years ago today, the Supreme Court gave billionaires and special interests unprecedented power to rig our democracy with its disastrous Citizens United decision. Yesterday, Donald Trump was sworn in, ushering in the wealthiest Admin in American history. Citizens United paved the way for Trump II.

RESIST. Don't quit. Don't stop fighting. Don't obey in advance. Don't stop calling them out. Keep raising your voices as loudly as you can. Keep organizing your friends, family, everyone. Keep supporting orgs that are leading the fight. RESIST.

As we saw at Donald Trump's inauguration yesterday, Big Tech bros—also the richest men in the world—took center stage, sitting side-by-side. A good time to revisit the stories in our MONEY MONEY MONEY digital edition... from understanding Elon Musk's global empire to Trump's crypto connections.
