Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

🎯🧨👍 Absolutely THIS!

Louis DeJoy says he's preparing to leave his job as Postmaster General, just months after telling Congress he would remain in the post “until somebody hauls me out of here" www.govexec.com/management/2...

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.

"it's not over til we say it's over!" 🧨 WA scientists plan to publish report on nature that Trump canceled www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

She is rich and brain dead!

🎯. There are a few things you can do: Call your AG if you live in Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, FL, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, South Carolina, South Dakota, TX, Utah, or West Virginia. Demand that they drop from the lawsuit. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Here's what's happened, if you're just tuning in: 1. Musk ally Tom Krause told the Treasury career staff to cut off USAID payments 2. The career staffer resisted, saying doing so is illegal 3. The career staffer was ousted by Trump team 4. Krause has now been installed as head of the payments system

🧨 Wow! Well done ProPublica! More conflicts everywhere🎯

🧨 Unbelievable!📍

The order may be illegal. It could fly in face of court orders demanding the Trump administration “unfreeze” a funding pause that prevents federal money from flowing to state agencies. www.wired.com/story/feds-h...

🧨Publishers suing sounds like some good fight back strategy🎯 www.theguardian.com/books/2025/f...

Huge crowd at the California State Capitol for the 50 States/50 Capitols protest against Project 2025 & the fascist coup attempt happening in Washington, DC. This coup isn’t inevitable. We can stop it.

🎯 Note to voters in CO, AZ, NH, NM, ME contact your Senators!

Thank you, @governor.ca.gov, for expanding food benefits to Angelenos impacted by the wildfires. This matters and will help lots of folks get access to food. More below: www.gov.ca.gov/2025/02/04/g...

The move could potentially create chaos and confusion across the online shopping industry, as well as make purchases more expensive for consumers... www.wired.com/story/tariff...

🎯🎯 Good show of force from the Dems! Hope it gets some attention! This is how you lead📍

"In Haiti, an aid worker confirmed that HIV/AIDS medication from USAID remains inaccessible. “We cannot touch the medication,” they say. “Everything is on hold.” The worker added that nobody from USAID had answered their phone calls for days." www.wired.com/story/usaid-...

Trump has no idea whatsoever what Musk is actually doing even though he also signed the executive order giving DOGE “full and prompt access to all unclassified agency records, software systems, and IT systems."

What can we do to fight back? Here is a good conversation between @shannonrwatts.bsky.social and @charlotteclymer.bsky.social with some good ideas about staying motivated. shannonwatts.substack.com/p/shannon-wa...

“As the well-respected First Amendment attorney Theodore Boutrous Jr. told me Thursday evening, "There is absolutely no reason, from a legal perspective, for CBS to settle — this is a ridiculous case." www.status.news/p/paramount-...

Semafor: Rubio will appoint Darren Beattie, a speechwriter in Trump’s first term, acting undersecretary of state for public diplomacy, two people briefed on the plans said…Beattie was fired from the WH in 2018 after attending a conference with white nationalists. www.semafor.com/article/02/0...

Just back from a packed Town Hall with our US Sen Merkley and Rep. Hoyle. I passed along all your questions to their staffers. I left feeling mixed, but saw 3 bright spots & 2 dark ones. 1) The main reason the funding freeze got reversed was the massive public outcry - our voices matter. 🧵

AP: “.. Mexico’s president immediately ordered retaliatory tariffs and Canada’s prime minister said the country was ‘prepared’ to quickly respond ..” @apnews.com apnews.com/article/trum...

The Wall Street Journal's editorial board, on President Trump's decision to start a trade war with Canada and Mexico: "Mr. Trump's justification for this economic assault on the neighbors makes no sense."

The Pentagon has announced plans to “rotate” out The New York Times, NBC News, NPR & Politico from their offices at the Pentagon. In their place, Breitbart, OANN, the New York Post & HuffPost will take over. We can all see where this is going..

Amazing interference from the New LA Times. @sulliview.bsky.social

SCOOP: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has admitted to the US Senate that he has reached at least one settlement agreement in which he was accused of misconduct or inappropriate behavior. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

🎯🎯 Unbelievable! He is so dangerous and irresponsible! Those that indiscriminately follow his whims will pay the consequences!

🎯 I think more than Congress is out-of-date 🎯 "House leaders are also looking at what is called deliberative technology, which uses specially designed websites to facilitate digital participation by pairing collective human intelligence with artificial intelligence. " gizmodo.com/the-communic...

Kinda didn't realize exactly what RFK Jr.'s grift was until reading this and finding out about the special courts to sue for children's vaccine side effects, and how he's made millions by finding clients to refer to law firms that file these suits, and now it all makes sense.

Shannon Watts is on 🔥🔥 and on 🎯🎯📌 shannonwatts.substack.com/p/weve-waite...

The Teamsters have endorsed Democrats for president since '96. And despite the Dems saving pensions and retirement benefits for 2 million Americans, the Teamsters didn't endorse a candidate this cycle. Now, within a week of taking office, Trump gutted the NLRB. Is this what Sean O'Brien had in mind?
