I believe @berniesanders4.bsky.social has the right tact, here. He's making this about what it really actually is: the 1% against the rest of us. They've declared war on us. Dems would be wise to go all in on this strategy and messaging. nebraskaexaminer.com/2025/02/22/o...

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

Scenes from the Ukraine rally at the Lincoln memorial

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

Ukrainians strive to secure their future & preserve their history. “The weight of history is really the motivating force for Ukrainians resisting today,” says author & journalist @yarotrof.bsky.social. “Ukrainians know they don’t have the luxury to cry right now. They need to keep resisting.”#Velshi

"I always hesitate to bring my political beliefs into this space. I don’t think my listeners would expect that from me and some of you will find it disappointing: not what you were looking for... " [1 of 2]

Between this and his comments to the governor of Maine it looks clear that he is using unconstitutional coercion/extortion to compel policy outcomes at the state level that his office doesn’t give him the authority to dictate.

Modern-Day Peaceful Protest… TikTokers are hunting Cybertrucks—pulling up behind them and projecting anti-Elon Musk messages onto the tailgate. What’s genius: the driver has zero rear visibility & zero idea. The Cybertruck Hunters account launched a week ago and already dropped a dozen videos.

And now some words from some of Trump’s next targets. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

The Tesla purchase experience is unparalleled: "We are expecting a potential Tesla protest to take place at our showroom tomorrow and therefore wanted to reach out as soon as possible to see if you would like to move your appointment…"

Wait. It gets worse: "The new document states that the revenues will be directed to a fund in which the United States holds 100 percent financial interest, and that Ukraine should contribute to the fund until it reaches $500 billion....The US has allocated $119 billion for aid to Ukraine."

I literally reported this Wednesday.

According to Coinbase's just-filed 8-K (linked), the SEC has agreed to terminate with prejudice its lawsuit against Coinbase *without* payment of any monetary penalty. The 8-K does not state whether Coinbase has agreed to change any practices. In all events, a huge win for the Crypto industry.

Any teacher who's getting students to outsource thinking to an AI is bad at their job. Full stop. And that one teacher complaining her students' work is "stale"? WTF? Rather than teaching them how to think & write more creatively, she's teaching them to just stop thinking entirely. Seriously, WTAF?

Trump is much fonder of the world's most brutal autocrats than he is America's allies -- or the countries that *were* our allies before he retook power.

Want to run government like a startup? Fun fact: 90% of startups fail. Trump and Musk are speedrunning that failure rate with America's economy. Your 401k sends its regards. www.theindex.media/america-vote...

90% of startups fail. Why the fuck would anyone think running the government like one is a good idea?

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

🇺🇦 Sybiha: Russia’s war against Ukraine is the largest war of aggression in Europe since WWII. Allowing Putin to succeed would have disastrous consequences for the stability and common way of life of every family in Europe and the US. The cost of appeasement will be paid by ordinary people.

Jack Posobiec, a prominent influencer, has a long history of promoting antisemitic and white supremacist content. He traveled to Ukraine with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent last week.

It's not about Brown, or Caine, or other individuals. It's not about reforming DOD . What it's about, at DOD and DOJ and the FBI and the intelligence community, is breaking all institutional resistance to Trump, and ensuring as much as is possible personal fealty to Trump.

Good news for sure, but the takeaway -- one we need to repeat over and over -- is he tried to screw 9/11 heroes and got caught.

Shoutout to Governor Janet Mills! This is the kind of courage we need.

All politics is economics. If the Supreme Court Citizens United decision grants more political power to those with more money, then to defeat them, it is essential that we target the sources of their wealth. Yes, that means you should sell your Tesla and get off X. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

Let's be very clear that Pete Hegseth absolutely has his job because he is a white man.

real possibility the state of oregon will not have a single federal republican member of congress by the time the next midterms are settled

OREGON: “The house & senate are totally abdicating their responsibilities.” @RepBentz (R) is the latest Republican to get confronted by constituents at a town hall. (Tennessee folks— town halls are these things where senators/reps show up and you can talk to them in person)

JUST IN: “A federal judge in Maryland on Friday blocked the Trump administration from terminating federal grants and contracts related to DEI as called for in executive orders signed by President Donald Trump.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Beyond betrayal.

Really enjoying the stories about congressmen getting yelled at about DOGE shit in their town halls. Not because I feel like it's necessarily going to move things in the right direction in the next election cycle or two, really. I just like stories about congressmen getting yelled at I think.

Let me explain the problem for Trump: When you purge the existing officer corps to create one personally loyal to him, you have also just created an alternate officer corps that despises him — and which will maintain a considerable level of influence over what the military does and does not do.

WATCH: “When will you stand up to them and say that is enough?” WISCONSIN Republicans Grothman & Fitzgerald run into tough town hall crowds also 👇🏽👀

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Among the many recipes for destroying morale in a military is visibly and prominently installing an unqualified officer into a leadership position, let alone THE leadership position

Be clear about what you are seeing. The firing of these senior officers has nothing to do with competence. This is creating an oath of loyal by the Armed Forces to the Leader. We face an uncertain future.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

This new cartoon series is sooo gooooood!

Common Side Effects is the best thing to come out of Adult Swim in years, and I don't say that lightly.

Yeah. Common Side Effects has the juice
