⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️ 🧵The iconic image known as Rosie was created by the American artist J. Howard Miller in 1942. Women played a huge role in during WWII. Many of these women were Black.(cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #WomansHistoryMonth thehistoryinsider.com/black-rosies/

I'm just saying..

need you to constantly remind yourself that the average normal person has no idea that any of the stuff we are rightly getting upset about is going on. they dont know. and we need to do everything we individually can to make them know.

Ummm… 👇 See the problem?!

You're all going to be shocked. But Tillis is a no-show here in Greensboro, NC. Of course, we're used to Senator Tillis letting the good people of North Carolina down. #ncpol #ThomTillis #EmptyChairTownHall @maddow.msnbc.com

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

He couldn’t even run a charity without breaking the law—Now he believes he’s in charge of the Supreme Court, Congress, our rights, and the U.S. justice system. Who’s going to stop him?!

Trump targeted the legacy media. Its owners paid for the privilege. Trump targeted Mitch McConnell. His Republican Senate colleagues did nothing. Trump targeted lawyers and law firms. The biggest, most prestigious firms looked away.

Some good news this week. Oregon Democrats just elected a new Gen Z party chair. Nathan Soltz is the second Gen Z party chair in the country, and joins @abreezeclayton.bsky.social in the new Democratic leaders club. So excited to work with him!

Our Secretary of Defense almost certainly has more threatening/extremist tattoos and has more credibly been accused of sexual assault than almost all of the people being sent to El Salvador. No exaggeration.

DOGE is plotting to cut Social Security phone support, according to leaked memo provided to Axios. The richest man in the word going after grandparents trying to get access to their own money is vile.

No they do not, New York Times! This is like writing that Santa Claus has IBS.

Good Lord. Latest from US Institute of Peace:

I mean.

Elias Law Group Partner Aria Branch has been named to City & State New York's 2025 Law Power 100 list, a prestigious annual list that “identifies the key figures in New York’s legal sphere, including ... top judges, high-profile attorneys, leading advocates and distinguished academics.”

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

Senator Jeff Merkley on the backlash against Chuck Schumer for capitulating on the CR: "I think they will be hugely upset, and well-justified. You don't stop the bully by handing over your lunch money, and you don't stop an authoritarian president by giving him more power."

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

From interview of Lee Bollinger, 1st Amendment scholar who served as dean of @UMichLaw, president of @UMich, and president of Columbia University. www.chronicle.com/article/were...

Mike has been a friend of mine since we were young reporters at the @washingtonpost.com in the 1980s. He brims with talent, integrity and commitment to the truth. This is exactly what I expected and he had hoped he could stave off, which is a trash move by trash people. Throw them out.

BREAKING: Trump and Republicans say they’ll focus their efforts on defeating Native American candidate Deb Haaland, who is running for governor of New Mexico. She has protected sacred lands and stood up to bullies. It’s obvious why they want her to lose.

GOV. WALZ IN IOWA: “This an issue of - do you stand with veterans? If you do, you should not have voted YES like your rep did to cut the VA. It’s that simple.”

It’s unreal - the DOD deleted its page for Charles Calvin Rodgers, a Medal of Honor recipient who was wounded three times while defending against three assaults on his base in Vietnam. Now the URL includes “DEI Medal of Honor.” There’s something about Rodgers I don’t even have to tell you

Protesters are out in Budapest, Hungary today demanding the resignation of pro-Putin Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Love it!

Are you paying ATTENTION, yet?! 👇

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state www.wunc.org/news/2025-03...

While the Russian Useful Idiot in the White House is busy claiming bullshit wartime authority to further his efforts destructing Democracy, just a reminder that everything he has said is a lie & everything that he says going forward will be a lie. As for his enablers, screw them.

WTF?!? Elon Musk reposted this on X before quietly deleting it: “Stalin, Mao, and Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Their public sector employees did.”

📌Time to chuck Schumer.

Chuck Schumer right now:

Here is a list of town halls taking place next week that you should show up at. I am sorry, I mean Chuck Schumer’s book parties. If there are any missing, please add in the replies. The only thing he should be doing today is cleaning out his office.

Is anyone looking up the procedure for choosing a new Senate Minority Leader?
