The United States appears to be in violation of the Budapest Memorandum which disarmed Ukraine of nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees. The agreement signed by the US in 1994 specifically prohibits economic coercion against Ukraine.

He nails it.

USDA scholarship for students at historically Black colleges are suspended. The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture suspended the 1890 Scholars Program, which provided recipients with full tuition & fees for students studying agriculture, food or natural resource sciences. #MOMSky apnews.com/article/hbcu...

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...

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

Friends are talking about how Facebook is deleting articles critical of Musk and flagging comments. I’m considering element. People have to get off of Facebook. Any suggestions for fun groups?

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

The official White House IG acct posted an “ASMR” reel of a deportation flight and I’m ruined rn. This is reckless & inhumane and underserving of any public office. No GOP member better dare talk to me about faith or Christianity. This isn’t Christ. Republicans don’t know Christ.

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

Oh look: “invisible Mussolini” speaks

This is probably the most accurate take.

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)

Instead of Google search try DuckDuckGo Instead of Chrome try Firefox Instead of Gmail try ProtonMail Instead of Google Docs etc try LibreOffice Instead of Google Photos try Ente For every Google product there are multiple replacements you can try. The above suggestions are just examples to try

Dear Ukraine: I am so sorry that the corrupt American media companies are pretending that Trump is doing anything other that trying to use America to give Russia power to wreck all of Europe.

The move puts the security and integrity of elections in the U.S. — especially at the state level, where local election officials rely on CISA resources to securely run elections — at risk. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This feels true to me.

@aoc.bsky.social We’d like your help organizing a March on Washington to ensure protester safety and secure permits. We’re aiming for a Saturday at least two weeks out to allow for travel planning.

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit

"No white people during Kendrick's halftime show? So much for diversity" Oh you didn't hear? DEI got canceled. He clearly hired the best people for the job 😌

Paul Martin, the inspector general for the USAID, has been fired after resisting the administration. Just a day ago, his office released a report warning that staff reductions and spending freezes put hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars at risk of misuse and waste. This is the way.

If you are looking for someone to say that all is lost and the courts can't help protect democracy, you are following the wrong guy. If you are looking for someone who fights hard and will never give up, I'm here for you.

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

Elon Musk is stealing our lives in front of our eyes!

Sen. Andy Kim says he's prepared to support a government shutdown to Trump administration lawlessness
