Our latest: The Resistance is alive and well and angry. Please consider reading and sharing. No paywall.

Thank you to those in Clayton who came out to share your voice with my campaign! Our rural communities are so important in our state.

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

It’s not just Space X. Musk was able to save Tesla because of a loan from the Dept of Energy. Here he is in 2013 filled with gratitude for the federal agency & the taxpayers who saved his business. From reporting by @puck.news. airmail.news/issues/2025-...

Just in case you need to hear this: stop beating yourself up over productivity and getting things done, the world is exhausting right now and everyone is feeling it.

1/ Being an infectious disease expert in the U.S. today feels like standing in the eye of a storm. Science should be our shield, but instead, we’re under attack, our expertise disregarded, our funding slashed, and public health increasingly politicized. 🧵

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o... Shoshana Zuboff warned us about the danger of allowing our personal data to be stolen by companies who wish to control our behavior. But money rules all so no politician, especially after the gift of Citizens United by John Roberts, was willing to take on this issue

Are you bored tonight? Send your five accomplishments, maybe your shopping list, or your five thoughts on Elon from the past week to OPM at [email protected].

Good morning friends☕️🎶💙Happy Saturday💙Today’s task:👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfPV...

Fresh out of prison after Trump’s pardon, Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was arrested today for assaulting a woman protesting his event.

Thank RFK and Felon47 for spreading anti vax information. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

Look at this. From 2017 Trump must suppose we are as dangerously stupid as he is

BREAKING: MASSIVE Ukraine rally in Washington, D.C. right now. Americans care even if Trump doesn’t.

Absolutely absurd. Someone should wipe the smirk off of the muskrat.

flip.it/y1UMI1 We still don’t know if Trump is stupid, or if there is a more sinister reason for this behavior

“We are emboldened by the feedback. We need to hear the outrage." - @repdexteror.bsky.social on her call to constituents this week. Call your rep + senators DAILY and tell them to be bold, tenacious, and do what is necessary. Keep the pressure on. Congressional Switchboard: 202-224- 3121.

“I’ll be damned if I’m going to stand by or remain silent during this hostile takeover of our government and its rejection of what makes America a special place. There’s the America I know and love—and then there’s Trump’s America.” www.americaamerica.news/p/rooting-ag...

"The crowd again started shouting “tax Elon,” “tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich” and “tax the billionaires.” " www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

Rep. Jason Crow: “The purge of senior officers at DOD is deeply troubling, but purging JAG officers worries me the most. “JAG officers interpret law for our commanders. They help determine what's lawful and constitutional. “Replacing these military lawyers with Trump loyalists is so dangerous.”

Leaders from Egypt, Jordan and other Arab states met in Saudi Arabia to discuss alternative plans for Gaza's future than the one laid out by President Trump, which calls for displacing Palestinians.

“RESIST. DO NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES.”Judge Ortiz emailed her EEOC colleagues after the anti-trans EO. She told me, “The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up. I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.”

Bad energy

WATCH: “You just said something that’s not true — that tens of millions of dead people are on that list… but the same report you cited said almost none of them have received Social security.” Trump’s Press Sec hides behind saying they “suspect” it, then runs away 🤔

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Zelenskyy has shown the world what democracy means. Donald Trump is a convicted felon and a sexual pervert. These two men shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence.

This might be a good time for the annual reminder that a cool thing to do to combat the helpless rage you might be feeling is to pick an organization or cause and donate to them every time you get pissed with no outlet. Even if it's only $1.

#Krasnov I would love it if this # goes viral... And better yet.. he will hate it...

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

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.

Alaska voters 👇🏻 Senate amendment reinstating terminated DOI and Forest Service employees was narrowly voted down. Of note, Murkowski voted yea, Sullivan voted Nay. If you feel some type of way about it, let them know!"

So glad Dems steadfastly refused to stray from established norms.

House Republicans are preparing a budget package that calls for $2 trillion in cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. That’s TRILLION. With a T.

Working on accessibility is even more important now than ever. Keep pushing accessibility forward, no matter the barriers. Every effort matters, no matter how small.

Dear OPM FOIA staff - Remember to preserve all of these email responses, as we will be submitting FOIA requests for this consolidated compilation of information on what the entire federal government did last week. Thx - FOIA community

TAMPA BAY LOVES CANADA, EH!!

(AP) — Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars. #OligarchEra 🇺🇸 apnews.com/article/musk...

The future is unknown, uncertain, perhaps frightening. But no matter what darkness may lurk before us, there will be glories along the way. Acts of bravery, acts of kindness, honorable deeds that will be remembered in better times. We will rise together, one day, to sing songs of glorious victory.

More & more headlines like this emerging here in Germany. “Without America?” The tie between the USA & Europe is loosening & it could scarcely be nicer for Putin. What does it mean for Germany & its neighbours?”

Firing the Joint Chief Chair and replacing him with an under-qualified white man is the definition of unfair preferential hiring practices. It’s why they hate DEI so much, they see it as their invention being used against them

An economic slump, an immigration crisis and the lifting of a security blanket provided for decades by the U.S. are issues on the minds of German voters. The far-right AfD is polling in second place.
