McBride: If we summon our hope then we will find the light and turn this moment into what a friend from Florida once called a slingshot moment.. where we are pulled backwards but the tension and pressure of being pulled backwards ultimately propels us to destinations that we have not yet been

Supporters of Ukraine just unfurled the world’s biggest 🇺🇦 flag on the White House ellipse calling for the U.S. not to abandon the country in its efforts to resist the Russian attack.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Need something? Shop small tomorrow! In fact, whenever possible, support small businesses.

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

You GUYYYYSSSSSSS The military choir sang Do You Hear the People Sing from Les Mis at the governor's dinner at the white house. Thanks to @beebrookshire.bsky.social for helping me fact check tihs one. As far as I can it's only "officially" been posted on Dan Scavino's FB

I did this. Give feedback. #stonewall (seriously how dare they?)

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument. Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed. 3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened. Erasure.

Here's a little something sweet to start your week. Thank god for cats during all of this... stuff.

Listen to Secretary Pete. And remember, these are our funds. These are our courts. And these are our streets.

Remember, Margaret Atwood has said in interviews that nothing in Handmaid's Tale is purely fictional. It's all been done somewhere in the real world. And we're certainly learning currently that "it can't happen here" is the real fiction.

This is so disturbing.

Tuesday in #Peekskill we tell @schumer.senate.gov to fight!! Come on out. www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

In the early days after my (now ex) husband left, I'd wake up feeling like I was punched in the gut when I remembered and cry. Now, I'm waking up with a lump in my throat again, remembering our country's current reality. #thisisnotnormal

“Make no mistake, what’s happening right now is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private agency operating with a broad mandate and no concerns for the stability of the United States or the interests of the average American.” Alexander Vindman open.substack.com/pub/alexande...

🧵 Trump’s Financial Coup & the Coming Election Crisis Trump is rebuilding the U.S. government in real-time to lock in permanent GOP rule. With DOGE controlling all federal payments and pardoned extremists threatening violence, elections will be manipulated at the source. It’s already beginning. ⬇️

This Black History Month remember human trafficking was legal. Slavery was legal. Jim Crow was legal. US Govt paying reparations to white enslavers but not to the enslaved was legal. Prison slavery still IS legal. Do not let legality & power be a measure of morality & justice.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Purges, purges everywhere. Federal health agencies remove data from websites : Shots - Health News www.npr.org/sections/sho...

This is how the Muskification of the U.S. Government is taking place. Lights out, before our very eyes. www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

My statement on the FBI Purge that puts at risk the safety, well-being and national security of the American people.

National call this Sunday to strategize with Indivisible, MoveOn, WFP, and a ton of other groups. We choose to fight. www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Posted by Senator Sanders moments ago: “We are living in a dangerous and unprecedented moment in American history. I’m getting a lot of calls from people who are not only upset about what’s happening, but are wondering how we best go forward. Here are my thoughts:”

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From Clay Bennett)

Bird flu killed all the chicken and ducks on a Hudson Valley farm, save for two. Even if you don’t care about what H5N1 is doing to the animals (which you should)… care about what it’s going to do to the food supply. Between bird flu and tariffs, groceries won’t get cheaper:

We are witnessing a coup. www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

Another issue near and dear to my heart is women's issues, so I put together this list of women who stand up strongly for reproductive freedom, women's health, equality, and justice. bsky.app/starter-pack...

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more. I'm trying to save them. You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

I miss the @realmamabears.bsky.social community on "that other social media platform." I sure as heck could use a dose of it right about now. Any other MamaBears out there? [hug] 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

You aren't just losing federal websites, you're losing the information environment such as it was until today

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Don’t hide out. We’ve all got to do something, no matter how small. Make phone calls, donate money to democratic candidates and/or groups that now need money, join marches, donate food—- SO many ways, big and small, to resist.

Here is something you can do right now

The Trump Administration illegally froze ALL federal funding except Medicare & Social Security. Americans will die without Medicaid coverage after being shot, without Community Violence Intervention Programs, without veteran suicide prevention, without school safety programs…

Pretty big deal. @bookshop-org.bsky.social is selling ebooks now. You can now support indies while purchasing digital books. bookshop.org/ebooks

I've always wondered about the individuals who were erased throughout history, the ones I'll never know about. The erasure continues.

Just subscribed! Thanks for the heads up, @maggieboxey.bsky.social!

Spread the word!

Remember when a certain candidate claimed to know nothing about Project 2025?
