If my taxes don’t pave my roads or fix my bridges or keep my schools open 5 days a week or pay local teachers a living wage or help keep my hospital open or help my neighbor’s kid eat lunch or fund public television or my healthcare… Why the f’ck should I pay taxes?

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Saturday Zen. Grateful for this view.

Liz Cheney a republican had to come up with our Project 2029 but it’s so good I can get behind it! Cause fighting this fascist president has aged me considerably!

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

This is 17min of bravery taking the stage. Everyone must watch! Thank you @carolecadwalla.bsky.social

The Sacramento protest is completely packed

Happy Friday Everyone!

This is the way. Independent and grassroots funded.

YOU NEED TO SEE THIS! Please tag Rachel Maddow 10,000 times (I love her) then tag all the shitty people in the media that we do not love. We will not stop. We will NOT go away. Don’t be afraid of Trump. Be afraid of us. Do your fvcking job or expect us on your door step youtu.be/qM633wuZEFc?...

Switzerland 🇨🇭 making a statement that’s decidedly not neutral!

Make sure you drop in on this! #TheFuture

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes. Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

While the respondents on this are low (less than 2500) the insights are interesting. In looking at the demographics, it’s another case of white conservatives acting against their own bottom line for the illusion of prosperity.

Great Question. Share this! @maxwellfrost.bsky.social #DOGE

#Doge question: How are these PO expenses being verified? Is there a daily report? Genuinely curious what kind of data quality checks if any are in place.

It’s a beautiful day for Resistance at the Sacramento Capitol 💪🇺🇸 #Protests #Feb5 #r/50501 #BuildtheResistance #Sacramento #ElDoradoProgressives #VoicesOfDemocracy

Where Are My NorCal Sacramento Peoples?! See Ya in 2hrs.

Over and over. All day. Every platform. Let your fellow citizens see that we ARE standing up. Let the world see. MAGA is NOT the majority. It was NOT a “landslide”. It was not a “mandate” and if our leaders won’t stop fascism, the American people will #fafo

PSA: If you’re a people manager, this a good week to enforce a No Meetings Wednesday. #PeacefulProtest

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Friday Feelings: ⚡️

Elon Musk pushed out the FAA chief — who resigned 1 year into a 5 year term, last week. Why? Because last year the FAA fined SpaceX $600,000 — for safety violations. Now the FAA has no chief — and we just had the first commercial airline crash in 16 years.

Gutted.

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them. But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

All day.

The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.” Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity. The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.

"Donald Trump's administration is lying to you." Gov. J.B. Pritzker slammed the White House for saying the freeze wouldn’t affect Head Start and Medicaid. This is how we do it. Call out Trump’s lies to the camera, bold, strong action. Hold him accountable, every single time.

Simple question: Where’s the f*ing resistance leadership?

Back to the Monday grind, but dreaming of this Shinto shrine in Omikacho, Japan… where the only drama comes from the occasional rooster brawl. #MondayWanderlust #Travel #Japan
