Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

For those asking where the Dems are, I might suggest: the right didn’t wait on the Republicans. They plotted the course & the Republicans followed, at first in small packs, but eventually all falling in line. The left may have to do something similar. Don’t wait on “the Democrats”. Show them the way

Really good household cyber defense questions to be asking. I hope we don’t need the answers. open.substack.com/pub/landfami...

Does anyone have an impoundment tracker?

wow thanks for fucking up my city elom www.kcur.org/podcast/up-t...

@maddow.msnbc.com Even Myrtle Beach is protesting! #NotMyPresident #DemocracyNotDictatorship

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

Fragrant Palm Leaves by Thich Nhat Hanh has been on my mind lately. plumvillage.shop/products/boo...

RFK Jr said he wants to send folks who are taking antidepressants and ADHD medications to "wellness farms" in rural America where they will be forced to labor by growing organic food to "cure their addictions." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

While I was writing a story, here’s what elected Democrats have been doing today ⬇️

This is really good messaging from Senator Gallego 👏

If you’d like to help us fight back in Missouri, help us support the toughest and reddest races in the state. Our grassroots members raised over $230k for down-ballot Democratic nominees in Missouri. You can join us…when we win in Missouri, the whole country wins. bluemissouri.org

If you've ever used the Polity data, read this from Monty Marshall. tl;dr Polity is coding recent US events as an executive self-coup and an adverse regime change.

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

@maddow.msnbc.com @maddowblog.msnbc.com I would like to see IT security experts talking about this to educate us better.

Do Americans feel strongly enough about Democracy to boycott the Super Bowl? That would make a statement.

Kamala Harris was not planning an ethnic cleansing to pave the way for golf course courses… Both sides were never the same.

Senate Dems vow to hold the Senate floor for 30 hours. They will bring to light how Project 2025 is the Trump White House Agenda.

Every single Senate Democrat will vote against Russell Vought, the Trump nominee for OMB and chief architect of the ultra-right Project 2025. We are holding the floor of the United States Senate overnight to expose how Project 2025 is the Trump White House agenda.

Have we planned a funeral for our PII data?

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

Since the FBI appears to be the only agency that is both still functioning and not headed by a lunatic, the Washington Field Office needs to open an investigation into the breach of the computer systems at Treasury, stat

👀👀👀

It’s important to remember that most people don’t seem to understand the extent of this coup. I told a coworker about the breach at the Treasury Department. His response was “Are you fucking kidding me?”

This is exactly what we want to see from Democrats right now! There’s no excuse for Senate Democrats to be confirming any of Trump’s nominees while MAGA’s illegal power grab continues. If you’re represented by Sen. @schatz.bsky.social, be sure to thank him for fighting back against President Musk.

JUST IN: A federal judge in Washington says she's concerned that the White House is still implementing the spending freeze that she and a Rhode Island judge have ordered temporarily halted. Judge AliKhan is inclined to issue a restraining order.

This is everything thing. We need to engage state and federal systems to find justice.
