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.

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

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.

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

72 million Americans are on the chopping block to lose their healthcare if Republicans pass the budget that came out of the House. AOC (D-NY) voices her concerns daily telling her colleagues on the other side of the aisle that people are yelling Don’t Cut My Medicare. AOC has no fucks left to give.

Todays hero

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. That starts with banning super PAC donations in Dem primaries. There’s no way the party can speak for the majority of working people in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Something to note. The Proud Boys are at the Capitol today and Trump wore a yellow tie. Black and yellow are proud boy colors. It's very clear that he views them as his personal militia that will mete out political violence. "stand back and stand by."

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

A profile of Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the Navy's top officer, who spent roughly half of her 40-year career at sea, commanding a destroyer, two carrier strike groups and the U.S. Sixth Fleet, & whom current Defense Secretary and former Fox & Friends co-host Pete Hegseth fired tonight.

Overflow angry crowd for town hall with Glenn Grothman in Oshkosh this morning ... www.wpr.org/news/glenn-g...

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Here is an article that got disappeared in the US. Someone was kind enough to pull it off the way back machine. Please repost, if so inclined. #trumpisacuck #presidentcuck #nokings #3E

Call to Action: Protest against Trump and fascism. Los Angeles, California. February 22 at 12PM "Your voice matters" #3E #USProtest #ProtestCA #Feb22

“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.

free hint to blue state govs: automatically offer jobs in your own state's security services to the various cops, prosecutors and armed forces members that trump is unfairly drumming out. you will need people with guns who hate trump for what is coming next, and... there they are

AP could have been cowardly and rolled over for Trump. “We had to comply or we’d lose [funding/access/privileges]” like so many orgs are doing. It would have been easy for them to say “gulf of America” But it never stops there. They got the memo. Good job AP.

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

Stop mass deportations with this one simple trick: wapo.st/41apYFB (gift link)

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

Protect this woman at all costs. Maine’s Governor Janet Mills tells “King” Trump that she’ll see him in court after he threatens her for not promising to comply with his EO that is only enforceable by genitalia inspections. 🔥 Freaking National Treasure

PORTLAND: Tesla will be exhibiting vehicles at the Oregon International Auto Show, starting today and running through the end of the weekend. People use this event to survey the market for new vehicles ahead of purchasing, so it's an ideal place to interrupt potential new Tesla sales. #TeslaTakedown

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

Soon it will be too late. Congress must act. Republicans deserve relentless protests and demands for their acquiescence to this man solidifying power to overrun our democracy.

If this happened in a foreign country we’d call it a purge

The dismissal of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff came as part of a broader shakeup that has rattled national security officials, who fear they could be next, report @shaneharris.bsky.social and @jonlemire.bsky.social: theatln.tc/fPpdXnEs

"Donald Trump and Elon Musk never believed in anyone’s free speech except their own," David A. Graham writes in the Atlantic Daily:

Need to have self-care Fridays with everything going on. Will check the horrible news again tomorrow 😮‍💨.

Protests happen when they happen, if you can only show up on certain days show up on those days, if no protest is available on your dates then organize one, open your own spaces. Protests need to be daily, but not everyone is expected to show up daily. Do what you can when you can. Just show up.

Until that happens, they need to call out this weak effort to intimidate them from doing their jobs. Don’t be intimidated; don’t give them an inch.

Mark your calendars: March 4 Liberty mass protest in DC, on March 4th starting at noon. “We are stronger together” #3E #USprotests #NoKings #march4liberty #Mar4

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

The DHS will use polygraphs to question employees about communications with the media or nonprofit organizations in an effort to root out members of the resistance.

Trump and Elon want us confused. They want us to feel hopeless. They want us to feel like there's no point in staying informed. Don’t let it work.

Just asked FETTERMAN if he had heard back from Trump re: their January convo at Mar-a-algo about Dreamers. "Leave me alone!" the senator exclaimed. Fetterman's wife, Gisele, was a Dreamer from Brazil.

Trump just deputized unelected billionaire Elon Musk's private bodyguards, giving them rights and protections reserved for federal law enforcement. Are people still afraid to say the word "coup?" www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

Mark my words—He is going to try to shut down mail-in voting. When he does, we will sue and we will win. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

‘What a lie’: Danish astronaut responds to Musk claim that Biden abandoned ISS pair on purpose

The Senate just voted on a simple idea: If you make $1 BILLION in a year, you don't deserve a tax handout. Democrats voted yes. Republicans voted no. Republicans are planning huge tax cuts for the rich, but they’re not the ones who need a break — working people do.
