Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

We stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦

Flashback:

Mark Kelly: "The only oath I can think of that maybe Elon has sworn is an oath to his own checking account."

It all makes sense once you realize a recession is actually a good thing for the 1%.

Logging the National Forests, as he suggests, will destroy them and everything downstream from them; there is no return.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

To my Ukrainian friends, I am ashamed of today and how your president was treated. Many Americans still support you. We know that Zelenskyy is doing everything possible for your country and we do not believe the Putin propaganda coming out of the Oval Office. #ukraine war.ukraine.ua/donate/

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities. That means: 🚫 No gas from corporate giants 🚫 No fast food chains 🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

Yup.

Amanda Zurawski has been named one of TIME magazine’s Women of the Year. Amanda’s Story: Citing the state’s abortion laws, Texas doctors denied Amanda Zurawski emergency medical care when her water broke at only 18 weeks of pregnancy. It was September of 2021, and Amanda was miscarrying. Her…

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

"You should have never started it" -- Trump to Ukraine, which very much did not start the war

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

How I wish I could be at the ocean right now.

While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent. SAY NO TO OLIGARCHY.

Richest man in the world muses about Jailing reporters, nothing to see here

Feeling this very much today. Via poetryisnotaluxury on Instagram.

going back in time to tell myself this image is going to end the human race

But plastic straws are back…

Clearly HIStory shows it true...It, of course is flat.

Forever relevant in the age of social media. Thank you, Wendy Cope.

This is Oligarchy. The three richest men in the world have become $196 BILLION richer since Donald Trump was elected. $196 billion for three men in 99 days. Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

Nearly HALF A BILLION DOLLARS of food is rotting because of Trump and Elon’s illegal USAID freeze. Food that would have fed hungry children and saved lives — being wasted. www.cbsnews.com/news/usaid-t...

I’m just saying it feels like this level of sustained anxiety should be burning more calories than this

How much does USAID spend on shelter, medicine, food and more each year? $38 billion. How much has Elon Musk’s net worth grown since the election? $154 billion.

Happy Friday from Peanut.

I’ve had the great fortune to meet Desmond Tutu. We need to remember this right now.

Elon Musk, the richest man on Earth, is rooting around in Social Security and Medicare payment systems. He’s reaching his hands into our pockets and firing anyone who tries to stop him. This reeks of corruption — it must stop. www.salon.com/2025/01/31/m...

“Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies. Those whom nature hath so joined together, let NO MAN put asunder” - JFK #Canada #Tariff #USA

Hey remember when George Lucas was like “hurr durr Trade Wars” and we were like that’s so silly and he was like no wait that’s how Emperor Palpatine comes to power and we were like you are obviously dumb Jorge.

"I want to speak directly to Americans," says Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. "This is a choice that will harm Canadians...but will have real consequences for you."

Feels like we are living in the first third of a Star Wars opening crawl

Holy shit! Democrats, if you’re looking for a fighter, you found one— @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social for DNC Vice Chair.

Mt Ranier. I’m loving living in the PNW landscapes after 15 years in Texas.

I remember those innocent days when Star Wars felt more like a warning than a record of current events
