#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1988: Police beat farm labor leader Dolores Huerta during a peaceful protest for farm workers in San Francisco. Huerta was beaten so severely that she required emergency surgery. Other protesters were also clubbed by police. /1

The campaign to suppress and repress dissent is moving ahead quickly. I encourage everyone to read this disturbing, on-point piece from @out5p0ken.bsky.social. open.substack.com/pub/out5p0ke...

Please share as wide as possible, don’t just ‘like’ this message. Lives depend on making sure as many get this as possible. #Tsunami #Pacific #Earthquake #DemVoice1 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Emil Bove has been confirmed—by a single vote—to a lifetime seat on the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals. This is the same Trump lawyer accused by whistleblowers of saying the DOJ could ignore court orders to deport immigrants. Over 900 former prosecutors and judges warned us. Republicans ignored them.

Remember when everyone was concerned about all the right wing bots on Twitter They could all be replaced by one overarching MAGA AI system Embedded within the federal government and affecting each aspect of our lives-while concomitantly spewing out Trumpian propaganda

This is what has to happen. A Chief of Police pushing back against ICE and the Trump administration. They detained one of his officers. apnews.com/article/main...

That sound you hear is future generations screaming fuuuuuck youuuuuu

In any other situation, representatives from the three foreign ministries would have briefed reporters on background with the timeline. Crisp documents would have been distributed with clear start and stop times. No one would have been confused. Instead, we have this.

61 years ago, two Jewish men, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, and Black civil rights worker, James Chaney, were murdered by the KKK while registering Black Mississippians to vote. DMFI takes today to honor their memory & vows to continue their work towards securing equal rights for all.

U.S. Marines have detained a civilian for the first time on the streets of Los Angeles, where President Trump ordered them to guard a federal building. The civilian, an Army veteran, said he was on his way to a VA office inside the building. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

It was great to see @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com back and hear him utter the words, “Huge defeat for Elon Musk.”

🔥NEW: Trump began mass layoffs of 10,000 staffers at U.S. health agencies, including the FDA, CDC, & NIH. So how are we supposed to respond to health emergencies, such as the ongoing measles outbreak & spreading bird flu when they've ousted top scientists .. 1/4 www.reuters.com/business/hea...

after seeing all the praise for The Atlantic, it's important to remember the magazine drove away Pulitzer Prize-winning science journalist Ed Yong and then hired Jonathan Chait late last year

When U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem visited the mega-prison in El Salvador and posed with the bare-chested and head-shorn inmates, Retired U.S. Navy Vice Admiral Michael Franken responded: “It is a violation under the Fourth Geneva Convention to pose with prisoners.” #WEARETHEMEDIA

My latest story: The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations. The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary RFK Jr. www.propublica.org/article/meas...

Is "unusual" really the best the New York Times can do?

Federal funding cuts ripple through the heart of Trump country. Cuts impact small farmers in West Virginia where Trump won 70% of votes. Federal funds on average comprise about one-third of states' annual spending. #MomSky www.reuters.com/world/us/fed...

What if I told u Musk is now overseeing a rushed AI rewrite of entire Soc Sec system—with zero public oversight? This isn’t modernization. It’s a hostile takeover. 🧵Here’s what’s happening—and what could come next.

One thing to keep in mind, that I learned from a friend who is trans - is that it is not very safe right now to be visible. It’s not to say we shouldn’t honor & promote this day - but this year, it’s really on all of us who are not trans to be visibly supportive of their humanity.

The NYT is totally complicit.

MAGA influencers are out in full force tonight, making up things that were not in this resolution. Congrats on getting your $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy, $19 trillion in added deficit spending, and $880 billion in Medicaid cuts through this initial step, though.

Tim Cook also donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration, in the spirit of “unity.” Really? variety.com/2025/digital...

There they go again, ripping away your health care in order to enrich MAGA Republican donors. Trump and Musk are DOUBLING DOWN with a scheme to add $4 TRILLION to the national debt — and GUT MEDICAID that 72 million Americans need — to give even bigger tax cuts to billionaires.

A billionaire is hoarding Gov’t contracts, orchestrating the firing of countless, while simultaneously stripping the masses of the benefits and programs that support and protect them. It’s fucking maniacal. He is evil.

Thanks to TERF activism, federal research now cannot use the word "woman." Other banned words include: disability, bias, status, trauma, Black, Hispanic communities, socioeconomic, ethnicity, & systemic. However, federal researchers are allowed to say white and men. www.kpbs.org/news/economy...

They have added things to doge.gov now after getting creamed for posting nothing. There is no way to verify the claims that they are cutting fraud since there is no documentation. They are simply copying tweets.

Holy Shit. They're burning through people pretty fast now. After Sassoon refused/resigned, the next two people - heads of Public Integrity Section (DC) and the Criminal Division also refused/resigned. This all JUST happened. And these are all 'actings', so they're people the Trump crew chose.

UPDATE: The National Park Service have now removed “queer” and the “Q+” from the web page for stonewall, along with any mentions of transgender people.

Senator @johnfetterman.com , please explain your vote to confirm Pam Bondi as US Attorney General. Last year, you warned us about the dangers of Project 2025—but you just enabled it!

It’s been called the Gulf of Mexico for 425 years. Thanks Britannica!

Mass firings at multiple U.S. government agencies have begun as President Donald Trump and Elon Musk accelerate their purge of America's federal bureaucracy, union sources and employees familiar with the layoffs #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy 💙🌊 www.reuters.com/world/us/mas...

The SAVE Act would make it harder for millions of Americans to cast a ballot—including women who changed their name after marriage. We must spread the word to protect our democracy. We must defeat the SAVE Act!

The complaint by EFF, Lex Lumina LLP, State Democracy Defenders Fund, and The Chandra Law Firm argues that OPM and OPM Acting Director Charles Ezell illegally disclosed personnel records to Musk’s DOGE in violation of the federal Privacy Act of 1974. www.eff.org/press/releas...

Trump signed an EO banning approximately 10 trans college athletes. The sickness and evil is real.

GOOD NEWS FOR DEMOCRACY: Federal judges are furious with members of the Trump administration. Numerous members of this administration are dangerously close to being found in CRIMINAL CONTEMPT OF COURT. Trump may be immune from prosecution, but not the defiant cabinet secretaries, lawyers,…

I want to thank Senator @edmarkey.bsky.social for this post - it's the first thing that's made me feel hopeful since the election. Save this image to your phones. Whenever you feel like things are hopeless and we can't win, look at that image. It made me want to fight again!

This is really not good: “Three local teenagers have died from the flu as of Thursday, none of whom were vaccinated, according to San Diego County.” Vaccines work & they save lives fox5sandiego.com/news/health/...

“Art exists to make sense of the chaos within us and around us.” Tom Robbins, Still Life with Woodpecker #tomrobbins

Look inside closer to discover how Musk and Trump are pushing past protocol and the law...with the help of "elite lawyers" - some of whom are former supreme court judges. #ProudBlue #DemsUnited #DemVoice1

FACTS: "There are proposals from Republicans to cut $2.3 trillion from Medicaid." THIS is what it would do: It would destroy Medicaid. It wouldn't fight inflation. It wouldn't bring anybody's prices down. It would just steal people's health care #HandsOffOurMedicaid

This is an atrocity. Never thought I’d say this, but dear world attorneys, please let it rain lawsuits. The only thing understood by these monsters is financial consequences. 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/h...

And DOGE is now enjoined until Friday at the DOL as well. PROGRESS. I’ll take it.

They’re discussing Medicare on the live town hall with Nancy Pelosi and I’m having an anxiety attack.
