The 14th Amendment was ratified on this day in 1868. It guarantees: ✔️ due process for all ✔️ birthright citizenship ✔️ equal protection under the law Now more than ever, we're determined to protect these essential rights.

The House of Representatives will soon vote on a budget bill that would kick 12 million people off Medicaid, defund Planned Parenthood and supercharge the Trump administration’s mass deportation machine. The time to be loud is NOW. Tell your representative: Vote NO.

Know someone who needs to get out of the heat? 🥵 Americorps St. Louis Cooling Center www.americorps-stl.org/homeless-ser... at 1315 Ann in Soulard is open from 11 am to 5 pm when heat index is 100° or hotter. Americorps could use donations of men's socks, underwear, shoes for their guests.

WATCH: “They purposely put this facility in MEMPHIS — a Black city — in one of the Blackest, poorest areas.” Memphis native @bookersquared.bsky.social calls out the environmental racism behind Elon Musk’s XAI supercomputer, warns elected officials/mayors against supporting it.

At least 20 people lost their lives over the weekend as storms ravaged the country. Meanwhile, Trump & DOGE have terminated 1,000 employees from NOAA — the agency that provides severe weather forecasting and warnings. Make no mistake: these cuts put people's lives in danger.

Worth repeating.

He hates the military. We are just props.

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Nearly every Republican in the Senate voted to overturn a Biden Admin rule that limited bank overdraft fees to $5. This rule, initially established by the now gutted CFPB, was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually. The GOP is the party of junk fees.

In the 2015 year report the USDA-APHIS website records show a cattle death loss in the state of Idaho of over 41,000, 29,000 of which died of what amounts to neglect, lack of food, water, shelter or fresh air. Wolves killes ~300 But ranchers blame their failed business model on the wolves.

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

Seriously. Be ON BLAST everywhere. DefCon 1 time, dudes. Politicize the shit out of this or resign. Let someone with guts have your seat if you're not up to the task.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

ELON AND TRUMP JUST FUCKED OUR WEATHER FORECASTS

Trump cannot dismantle the Department of Education without the approval of Congress. He’s breaking the law. Again. Maybe if he focused more on educating himself instead of attacking education, he’d know that. 🫶

Trump just invoked this very same law to target people *inside* our borders and he’s already deporting citizens. Roberts said history repudiated Korematsu, but SCOTUS never actually overruled it. What makes anyone think he won’t do this again? Who’s gonna stop him?

When people talk about "American Exceptionalism" they now usually mean that Americans are exceptionally bad a running a country.

They're moving to classify constitutionally protected speech as terrorism. This is a five alarm fire.

Remember who voted to work with Nazis rather than fight them. Primary them all. They did not save the Republic, they signed on to its defeat. #collaborators

I took a break today from all the horrible news and had a penguin encounter at the St. Louis Zoo! Thought others could use a break as well!

Art imitates life. A self-anointed king propped up by a slippery tech overlord.

They called him Sleepy Joe because we could sleep at night.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

What a different world we could have.

This Administration is turning its back on science. If you never had the measles or polio, thank science. If you use a smartphone as easily as a computer, thank science. If you want to know if it will be raining tomorrow, thank science. A total disaster is coming. apnews.com/article/trum...

Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety. This won’t go well—we love our parks.

Just in from a long day. Haven't looked at the news yet. Not sure I really want too.

I’d like to announce my forthcoming US history book, covering a decisive but tumultuous era in that country’s history, titled “The trade policies of the United States: 10:30 am to 1:30 pm on Friday, March 7, 2025” It will be 400 pages.

#standupforscience Jefferson City, Mo

Buildings where the people's business is no longer being done as directed by the Constitution are being repurposed as additional revenue sources.

Aura.

President Zelenskyy showed more backbone and self-respect in one Oval Office meeting than the entire GOP has collectively demonstrated over the last 9 years. He is standing up for his people while Trump mows through ours.

A trifecta.

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

I'm a huge fan of Dolly Parton. We're the same age and same height, but she can sing better. We also share the same values, including that every child should have the chance to dream big and succeed. Indiana Republicans should reverse these cuts. www.huffpost.com/entry/indian...
