Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Only took a month for Trump and the Republicans to sell out Ukraine. “Sheltering From Fascism: Then and Now” -woodcut 2022 #art

Musks plan - Move fast - Break things. Leave it to Justice Thomas to justify the reasons. #art

It seems to me that if Musk has proof that millions of social security checks have gone out illegally to dead people, he should be presenting that evidence in front of a grand jury under oath tomorrow instead of shitposting it on social media. When can we do this under oath?

“I think we’re due for a renewal of demanding that the people who are giving us information about our lives tell the truth about it.” @hcrichardson.bsky.social explains how presidential integrity has eroded to the point where lies go unchecked—but Americans are taking notice & taking action.

A judge just blocked Elon Musk and co-president Donald Trump from firing the financial cops at the CFPB who protect consumers from Wall Street scams. There's power in fighting back.

Lots of people are joining the Musk boycott. Across the country, Americans are protesting at Tesla showrooms, even taking free test drives just to waste the company’s time.

We know it’s tempting to give into cynicism or despair right now. So let us tell you what keeps us going: We are in daily communication with Members of Congress and senior staff who want to see a unified opposition as well. They are fighting on the inside to build that opposition. 🧵

Thank you @katiecouric.bsky.social And @hcrichardson.bsky.social

I’ve been struggling this past week. I’ll admit it. So let’s discuss what history can tell us about where we are. On my live webcast, History Matters. Friday 10AM ET NCHEteach.org/conversations

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks. This is leadership. It’s also unprecedented. A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

This is just one of thousands of harrowing stories told about the U.S. Government abandoning Americans abroad in the USAID shutdown. This is Benghazi times a million. 1/

Democracy is Crumbling. Is Anybody Doing Anything? open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Trump and Musk don't want watchdogs like the CFPB protecting the people. They want big banks and bad actors to run rampant and take people for a ride. They want to pillage the government and make themselves rich. But we won't let them. youtube.com/shorts/ibBqx...

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

Here it is in a nutshell: 1. Trump is an authoritarian. 2. With the GOP controlling Congress, courts are key to protecting democracy. 3. So far, courts are doing a good job on #2. 4. GOP will next attack election rules like they did in 2021. Don't let the cynics convince you not to fight. FIGHT!

This is a great piece.

Washington, D.C. yesterday. "Shut down the Senate, Shut down the Senate." Chanted for hours. More massive #USprotests, ongoing. Sources here report, "Millions of people are getting ready as we speak to take this country back and save the USA. Their days are numbered. Stay tuned." #3E

The chaos is by design, to make us think that democracy is over, dashed on the rocks and wrecked. We need to use every tool we have, the courts, our voices, and our arts to salvage the promise of this country. #art

🚨 Thanks to our lawsuit, the world's richest man has been stopped from stealing your data. DOGE's unrestricted access to Treasury systems is incredibly dangerous, and this emergency order halting their access proves it. I'll never stop fighting to protect our residents.

If you are scared to protest now, remember: this is the easiest it will ever be. Life under dictatorships is pure hell & lasts for decades, probably the rest of your lives if you don’t stop them now. Read about Iran, Syria, Afghanistan – sooner or later you have to overthrow them. Choose sooner. #3E

One of Maine’s Senators is trying to protect the Constitution. The other may or may not be concerned. Thank you, Senator King. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

This is hilarious. I especially like the annexation of Green Bay and the mystery Mississippi River announcement.

Surprisingly, we find ourselves thanking a Trump appointee—so thank you, Judge. Judge Carl Nichols of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia announced after a hearing that he would issue a temporary restraining order to halt the imminent administrative leave of 2,200 USAID employees.

@warren.senate.gov thank you Senator Warren for standing up against Project 2025 mastermind Vought’s nomination!

This.
