Maybe we should strive for a society where people can study things that interest them without the fear of starving or not being able to pay for housing. Just an idea.

So let’s think about this. A private company refused - on principle - to yield to the government’s demands. The government then cancelled its contracts with the company and has set about destroying it

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

We are very quickly becoming just like Russia. State-run news. Oligarchs controlling everything. Rights are at the whim of the Putin.

A worthwhile piece on Warner. "So Paramount, w/a $12 bil market cap, is doing a $111 bil acquisition, $33 billion of which is debt, $40 bil which is equity backed by Larry, whose wealth is tied to Oracle, which is leveraged to the gills. What could go wrong?" jmarie89.substack.com/p/paramount-...

Fascism will not segregate any group when it comes to impose its repugnant policies. They will first come for the minorities before going after political opponents and those who will be deemed to be enemies. At the end, no one will be safe.

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #SaveActTaxesYourVote social.demcast.com/s/S7ObX3Ak

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party. We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.

Before and after you sell your soul to the devil.

Trump’s former AI advisor calls the Trump administration’s treatment of @anthropic.com “attempted corporate murder” and says Hegseth is engaging in “a psychotic power grab.”

The SAVE Act taxes your vote through hidden costs. This taxation violates constitutional principles. Republicans know this. They proceed regardless. This would be the largest poll tax in American history. #SaveActTaxesYourVote

Thank you so much for adding me to this great list!

For those who are being similarly blindsided and confused - Kansas overnight invalidated the drivers licenses of every trans citizen. No warning, which I imagine is part of the point. Thousands woke up to learn they legally can't get themselves to work for the foreseeable future.

I'm trying to avoid commenting on the news for my own mental health but I still feel the need to comment on that "a state just legally codified the literal dehumanization of an entire class of people" feels like it should be blasting the headlines, and yet... nothing

This is the face of a man who knows he's going to be punished for disobeying. Same look my kid had before I disconnected the controllers on his Nintendo.

Thank you so much for including me on this awesome list!

Thank you Marcie my dear friend. Stronger together 💪 💙 go.bsky.app/9tTeSoQ

I'm not dropping it until we have ALL of the files have been released, we see everything except victims names unredacted, and we get at least a dozen rich and powerful pedos convicted and behind bars.

This is terrifying. They are so far gone, they are completely disconnected from reality. And they have weapons they can’t wait to use. We’re in so much trouble. The belief in white supremacy & facism is more pervasive here — broader and deeper — than it was in Nazi Germany.

A reminder that white nationalism isn't just abhorrent, it's stupid.

Trump: "When you watch Low IQ Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, as they screamed uncontrollably last night, they had the bulging, bloodshot eyes of crazy people, LUNATICS, mentally deranged and sick who, frankly, look like they should be institutionalized...we should send them back from where they came"

I've almost come to terms with the reality that at 66 I won't live to see whom & what I fight for. Still, Never for a day will I stop fighting for Civil Rights, Children & Public Ed, or minority rights, women's rights or voter rights & Neither Should YOU! youtu.be/r0ExGPIpO6k?... go.bsky.app/53zHnDd

It’s time to turn the Epstein files into the Epstein trials. - Rep. Andrea Romero, Chair of the NM Epstein Truth Commission

Maybe the Rs who aren’t pedophiles or con artists. Are there even any left?

What’s the fucking point of the mainstream media?

That’s deliberate. Media literacy 101 is always check your sources.

Glad we cleared that up

Warren: "Warsh has been a high interest guy in good times & bad. It has been his one constant - until he wanted the job of fed chair. And then he said, 'I will say whatever Trump wants, bc that's the test for the job.' I don't think having a sock puppet as head of the Fed preserves Fed independence"

I avoid Texas, so IDK anyone there, but I keep wondering how many Texans who are voting for Talerico would really be happier with a senator Crockett, but fear she can't win. Obviously because he's a white Christian man, and she's a strong, outspoken black woman, and it's effin' Texas.🤷‍♀️

I have spoken to two people now who have told me that only part of their FBI interviews are in the released files, and the parts of their interviews that are missing include mentions of Trump. 1/

Human Rights abuse and disregard/violation for civil rights within USA by the Trump administration must be called out. We are being deprived of our basic rights including privacy, and warrantless search. We are living in #TrumpsStateOfDelusion - a state that is increasingly dangerous for Americans.

Of all Presidementia's prior State-of-the-Unions I've not watched in the past, tonight's State-of-the-Union is the State-of-the-Union I'm not watching the most. 🍊🚫

Tonight, we BOYCOTT! Instead of watching Trump's litany of lies, we're gathering outside the Capitol with hundreds of our friends to hold a People’s State of the Union address.

Sane Americans Can Fight for & Restore Civil Rights. We can show the world that we will fight for civil rights. Civil Rights are the only way we have the hope of freedom, safety and democracy! Will YOU Join the Fight! Call (202) 224-3121 or (202) 224-3121. youtu.be/ISiwYwzqxmw?... go.bsky.app/JLYfSW

Let's hear it for the USA Women's Hockey Team! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This is a brave young woman. It’s disgraceful that so many people aren’t actually hearing what she’s saying. Our prejudices are toxic.

BREAKING Charles Kushner, the US Ambassador to France, has been banned from meeting with members of the French government after he failed to show up to a diplomatic summons with the French Foreign Minister.

3rd Republican to call for Rep. Gonzales to resign. All women.

Remember EVERYTHING with Trump, is the best ever, perfect phone call, landslide victory. And it NEVER is. It’s actually incredible that the media still pontificate on Trump’s overselling of everything. He never tells the truth. He never takes responsibility. Work it out people.

Former ICE trainer Ryan Schwank is telling Congress that agents are being trained to ignore the Constitution. "I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution when I joined ICE. I followed it when I resigned. The legally required training program at the ICE academy is deficient, defective, and broken."

Susan Rice saw this moment coming. She described it plainly, and she was right. Now, Netflix must decide which side of history it wants to be on. The right choice is obvious. The only question is whether Netflix has the courage to make it. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

I get it. I’m with you.

Stop trying to make like there's some kind of grand strategy or secret plan at work. It's not that. Truly. It's the simplest thing you can possibly imagine. Don't think "four-dimensional chess" Think "toddler + cheerios" www.nytimes.com/2026/02/22/b...
