It’ll always break my heart that we could’ve had an extraordinary President with Kamala Harris and instead we have a disgusting rapist criminal traitor.

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

😕

Sharing some positive thoughts. 🫖

This was always about cutting the federal government so the tax cuts for the very wealthy don’t expire. This was never about “efficacy.”

They want us to be afraid. They want us to hesitate. They want us to fear their next move. Fuck that shit. We are just getting started fighting.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

A really important email from my friend Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social . As he says "this is a 5 alarm fire." America is under attack right now.

She’s very concerned now. Won’t do anything about it as usual, but very concerned.

Do this. Say this. 👇🏻

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

Abuse of power is disgusting. This cruel rapist must be removed from power or we’re all fucked. Even maga. He doesn’t give a shit about anyone now that he’s consolidated power for nefarious ways.

The saddest thing about all these cuts and layoffs is that they show a callous disregard for life. It's not as if the US was broke. DOGE is cutting thousands of jobs and benefits to save a few bucks.

WATCH Bernie Sanders lay out exactly what's at stake if Republicans gut Medicaid. Don't Cut My Medicaid

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds. Gov Mills: See you in court

A federal judge on Friday largely blocked sweeping executive orders from President Donald Trump that seek to end government support for programs promoting diversity, equity and inclusion. apnews.com/article/dei-...

Conservative Christians be like “i sUpPort TrAdiTioNal fAmiLy vaLUeS” by supporting a party led by two guys with 18 children between 7 women, dozens of sexual assault allegations (some found liable in a court of law), hush payments made to porn stars, and 34 felony convictions for business fraud.

Happy Friday. Keep pushing back.

Happy birthday, George Washington! He was born 293 years ago today. Even Elon Musk's AI, Grok3, knows that George would have loathed Donald Trump. 🍿

Send Dems into rural America to talk about what Trump is doing. The Republicans are too scared and won’t show their faces…in the vacuum of messaging, there is power. Tell the folks who is hurting them. Point to the GOP. Be the foil to the shit that’s happening. Be the party of the people.

AOC: And he is running around because he thinks he got a bank account with a lot of zeros in it that it makes him some kind of super citizen. I don't think so.

Unfortunately I won’t be to DC in time, but this rally for Ukraine is happening in Lincoln memorial. Attend if you can and Slava Ukrainii!

Donald Trump talking about Ukraine and Russia is nauseating. One minute he says Zelenskyy shouldn't be involved in peace talks because the talks in the past 3 years haven't worked, and the next he says "I'm the only reason they're talking at all." Senile old fool.

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

I'm in ! Tell me how.

The problem with Dems and MAGA in a nutshell. MAGA- believes Trump Dems- he’s lying MAGA- you think we are stupid Dems- well, yeah Not sure how you fix that.

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

A whole generation of early career scientists and physician-scientists, including colleagues and myself, are particularly vulnerable to these funding freezes and cuts, with jobs and careers depending on federal grants. #IDsky #Medsky #Episky www.science.org/content/arti...
