On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

Trump & Musk are trying to fire 100,000+ civil servants right now - including over 1,000 VA employees. Purges are happening at SBA, Energy, Education & more. Firing this many critical employees at once could make it impossible for our government to provide BASIC services.

📌URGENT: The Associated Press is one of the foremost news operations in the world. Without it, most media entities could not survive. 📌Well, the AP has now been barred from the White House. I'd suggest very strongly that any media that gets its news from AP takes a damn stand here in solidarity.

If you’ve been wondering what Elon Musk and his lackeys are up to since taking control of the US government, look no further. Our latest story names six 19- to 24-year-olds working with his DOGE organization, which now has access to sensitive federal systems. wrd.cm/4jzpiSN

As any Freshman economics major will tell Donald, tariffs are imposed on the IMPORTING NATION—NOT the exporting nation. This means AMERICAN businesses will now pay 25% more for many essential goods and raw materials they import from abroad. (1/4)

"Musk acquired Tesla; the cars explode. He acquired Space X; the rockets explode. He acquired Twitter; the stock price explodes. Now he’s acquired the United States. You don’t have to be a real genius to spot the pattern and extrapolate what’s likely to happen next. Hell, even Elon could do it."

📌I sat down with Salon as a part of their series that is taking a clear-eyed look at what we are facing with this second iteration of Traitor Trump, and this fascist wave. 📌Their Senior Writer Chauncey DeVega does a wonderful job with these things. It’s a worth a look. Cheers, Earl

Putting aside that nothing is gonna happen to him it is still pretty fucking jarring that the country elected a president who is being sentenced days before his inauguration.

My biggest social media presence is on Facebook. I check my following numbers now and then, and for the months leading up to and after the election, each week the number was growing fast. A few weeks ago, that stopped. Meta is definitely rejiggering things not only in fact-checking, but also 1/2
