There is billions in confirmed fraud within the Department of Defense, yet Trump and Vought are going after health care, childcare, and nutrition assistance. As Congress puts together the 2027 budget, we must fight back.

At least 88 corporations paid ZERO in income tax despite reporting $105 BILLION in profits. Meanwhile the average American paid $14.5% on their income. Our system is rigged to benefit billionaires. It’s time to fix it.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

Action: put a stop surveillance pricing and surge pricing in WA state.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

It’s really fascinating what happens when you remove diversity—white male incompetency is placed on full display and with no one to blame for their actions —so they just lie.

In a shocking move, Trump detained a green card holder—legally in the U.S.—for protesting. Tomorrow, The Big Picture dives into this attack on free speech. Plus, a look at the measles outbreak that’s spreading fast as RFK Jr. takes charge of the DHHS. You won't want to miss these pieces.

Tell your senators to vote no on the budget bill. I said no cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

A right-wing power grab is taking place in Missouri, as white Republican lawmakers plan to reinstitute a Civil War-era policy to take control of the St. Louis Police department, even as crime is dropping and homicides are at the lowest level in years in this Democratic city with a Black mayor.

I'm a proud mother. Whether I'm walking my son to school or reading him a bedtime story, I do everything to make sure he grows up loved and cared for. And for the sponsor of the drag ban to say that my existence is a fetish is false & cruel. I'm glad we were able to defeat this hateful bill today.

These ten Dems should be fucking ashamed of themselves.

I hope it passes!!

These f-ing clowns. Cartoon with alt text included:

Can't stress enough how important it is to BUY NOTHING tomorrow, Friday February 28th. To be heard, $$$ is the only thing these Corps. understand. The billionaire class complicity in this authoritarian grab is not going to go down well for them. #boycottbillionares #NoBUY #buynothing

YIKES! North Dakota Republicans have introduced legislation to declare themselves a Christian nationalist state, recognizing the kingship of Jesus Christ. This sounds more like a cult than government. heartlandsignal.com/2025/02/07/c...

Nearly 250,000 people in Berlin showed up to protest fascism and the Musk backed AfD party.

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Do self care, experience joy, and continue fighting. Don't get bogged down by the chaos and quantity, that's what they want you to do. I copied and posted this as one possibility.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Just released memorandum from OPM: Federal facilities will now have a bathroom ban for transgender people. It will go into effect on the 31st. It also has a slew of effects and puts into place the 1st anti-trans EO policies for every agency. This will have a ton of impacts very quickly.

BREAKING: In a new executive order sent out by the White House, Donald Trump has revoked the federal contractor nondiscrimination executive order, EO 11246, that was signed by Lyndon Johnson in 1965 and has protected employees of businesses seeking federal contracts from discrimination ever since.

JUST IN: Tesla Cybertruck explodes at the entrance to Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas

Trans folks held a dance party in the Capitol bathroom to protest the bathroom ban on there.

"Why weren't there any trans kids when I was young?" Because no one accepted them and they stayed in the closet, to immense harm. Or because they took their own lives in despair. We are returning that, and we need to acknowledge the blood on our hands if we don't fight for them.

LGBTQ+ estate planning.

Revolting mob rule, Stalinist, Maoist, fascist, call it what you want, it is disgusting, with the power of the state and social media to mobilize the US version of China's Red Guard to target civil servants, professionals doing their job. Gift article. Please repost. www.wsj.com/tech/musk-un...

A reminder from the past to ensure history doesn’t repeat itself: the Cuyahoga River caught fire over a dozen times, leading to change in 1969. Here is an overview of Trump’s reduction in clean water protections during his last term: (1/2)

Lift up those who need it. Stay vigilant. Make art. Do what you can. Hydrate, medicate, communicate. Outlive your enemies. Fuck white supremacy for landing us here.
