WATCH Bernie Sanders lay out exactly what's at stake if Republicans gut Medicaid. And it’s all to make the rich richer & the poor poorer. Don't Cut My Medicaid #DemVoice1

🚨SPECIAL ELECTION - MAINE STATE HOUSE DISTRICT 24🚨 Democrat: Sean Faircloth (seanfaircloth.com) Election Date: 🗓️THIS TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25TH🗓️ Area: Bangor, Orono, Brewer, Veazie Maine Democrats have a mere 2-seat Majority in their State House. We need to hold this seat by a big margin.

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

Hegseth's comments about General Brown having his position (probably) because of his skin color are reprehensible, but not at all surprising. apnews.com/article/trum...

AGAIN the pattern continues. ANOTHER WOMAN (GOV MILLS) had to call out Trump on his bullshit. YET AGAIN ANOTHER WOMAN .

DID YOU KNOW: As Trump/Musk fire anyone in the fed government that participated in diversity, equity & inclusion, he just nominated Kimberly Richey for Asst Sec Office of Civil Rights at the Dept of Education. During Trump's 1st term, she ESTABLISHED the DEI office people are now being fired from.

Rush Limbaugh 💩 was expert at tainting words by association, e.g., never saying "environmental" without sayin "wacko." So let us use this proven method by always saying "FASCIST" after we say "MAGA." Quick, easy, truthful, & effective. Say "MAGAFASCIST!" Please repost to propagate. Thank you!

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

#ProudBlue Good morning, friends. These are very difficult and stressful times, we have a lot at stake. Please take time for yourself and hold on to those you love. We can’t let hate destroy us, do something this weekend that brings you joy. Love, smile and breathe 💙

"the poll shows that majorities oppose cutting taxes on corporations. It finds that 63 percent say their top priority for tax policy is helping 'working-class families,' versus one percent—no, really, one percent—who say it’s helping corporations and the wealthiest Americans."

"As we navigate the sheer quantity of hate and unconstitutional extremism found within these orders, it’s essential we not let this blitzkrieg distract or deter us." - Keith Thirion

Found some peace in this.

Trump called Zelensky a dictator and blamed Ukraine for starting the war, which has caused outrage across Europe and the world. Democratic leaders and Ukrainians are rallying behind Zelensky and vowing to defend and support Ukraine more than ever in response to Trump repeating Kremlin propaganda.

#ProudBlue #Resist You know it’s Friday when just when you think things can’t get any weirder, another story pops into your feed that makes you wonder if you’re in Wonderland. DOGE tech guy Big Balls is the grandson of double agent/KGB spy Valery Martynov. Truth! @jacobsikverman.com tells the tale.

Finally, something good happened— U.S. District Judge Abelson found that the Felon’s executive order terminating all “equity-related” grants and contracts likely carry constitutional violations, including against free-speech rights. apnews.com/article/dei-...

While Republicans start their work tonight on a bill to cut your Social Security and Medicare benefits, Democrats are working to make your life better, safer, and more affordable. Here are 10 of the amendments I filed to the Republican budget bill 🧵

Aint that what happens when you have sensible and empathic governance everyone!

WOOHOO! A new bat coronavirus that has the capacity to spread to humans, similar to the one that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, has been discovered….I’m sure everything will be perfectly fine 😬 www.newsweek.com/new-coronavi...

THIS is an amazing example of a #TruthBomb: tiny actions (i.e. local news) that deeply affects the big picture. If you've already been to a #TruthBomb zoom presentation, we invite you to a Slack training, our HQ for working together, and creating TBs together. www.mobilize.us/civicsundays...

I’m the dairy farmer running to replace Elise Stefanik in New York’s 21st Congressional District. Can you repost this, give me a follow, and help spread the word?

I remember the day she came into office. She is a fresh outlook that makes MTG seem so small. Jasmine is a kind of fighter we all need.

Life isn’t a checklist. ✅ What’s one experience you’ll embrace for joy, not productivity? Let yourself exist without pressure. #PresenceMatters

Joy is in the details. ✨ What’s one small, beautiful moment you’ll notice today? The way sunlight filters through your window, a kind word from a stranger—life is filled with gifts. #GratitudePractice

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

They just now noticed?

Let's be very clear. The Constitution says that presidents are limited to being elected twice. Anyone who says otherwise needs to read the 22nd Amendment.

The talent drain will be immense.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

The truth 👇

Elon Musk — whose net worth is just shy of $400 billion — just dropped a hint that he may be eyeing significant cuts to earned benefits programs like Social Security and Medicare in the future Who would have guessed www.alternet.org/musk-cutting...

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.

Something odd just happened—an article that had been widely published on media sites has suddenly disappeared without any retraction or explanation. Many may have come across it on Reddit.

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

Hamsters stand with humans in the MUSK COUP… 💙🐹

If you have a Republican representative — you have a right to know if they’re a Nazi. #fucknazis #3E #ResistFascism

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

BREAKING: Ex-Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio arrested outside US Capitol www.bbc.com/news/article...

America is the Land of the Stupid unfortunately.

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

Canadians never bend in the face of tyranny. This is our story as a nation, and I am so proud to be part of that story today. Across Canada and the United States the resistance will come from ordinary people. Keep kicking at the darkness until it bleeds daylight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=es5q...
