🚨BREAKING: SCOTUS just ruled 6–3 to give Trump the power to move forward banning birthright citizenship. Once again, giving him king-like powers and plunging immigration into sheer chaos. Make no mistake, Trump will use this ruling as a blueprint to push more extreme policies.

Boston showed up for No Kings Day!

🇺🇸 NO KINGS! Live in Madison, Wisconsin. ✊

Chicago #NoKings

Back at the Capitol in Olympia, WA #NoKings

We don’t bow to injustice! While tax dollars are wasted on parades and cuts to the programs our communities rely on - Social Security, SNAP, Medicaid, and more. That’s not leadership. That’s a power grab. We’re standing up to say this country belongs to us. #WeFightBack #NOKings ✊🏾

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO? #NOKINGS

📢 We can't wait until the midterms to act. As Aaron says, "If we want to ensure that every eligible American who wants to vote can do so and will have their vote counted, the time to invest is now." 🔗 Read the full article & see the data: http:// bit.ly/4hxzBnY

🚨 @theprospect.bsky.social🚨 This wasn't a bad election cycle—it was bought & paid for. NCRP's latest research, led by our CEO Aaron Dorfman, exposes how conservative foundations & wealthy donors funneled over $1 billion into nonprofits that purge voter rolls, restrict ballot access, &silence voters.

It was originally started by the French and that’s when the vast majority of the workers died. Here’s a thread on the lies Trump tells about the Panama Canal.

We need to see much more of this clarity & conviction from the largest foundations. Bravo to Public Welfare Foundation & its president Candice C. Jones. www.publicwelfare.org/thesilenceof...

“We are forced to ask ourselves if The Washington Post — a pillar of investigative journalism during Watergate — is unwilling to challenge those in power.” -Common Cause President & CEO @virginiaksolomon.bsky.social www.cnn.com/2025/02/17/m...

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post didn’t want you to see our ad questioning who’s in charge at the White House. We won't stop holding power accountable. thehill.com/media/514849...

It’s not peace talks. It’s a colonization meeting. Deciding who gets to mine the rare earth minerals, who gets the oil who gets the wheat and who will control what part of the territory. Europe needs to wake the F up and defend itself from all the fascists, including Trump, Putin and the “New Axis”

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are mass firing veterans. apnews.com/live/trump-p...

So on point.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

"Similar directives have come from leaders in China, Hungary, Russia, and the Soviet Union" good on @chronphilanthropy.bsky.social for spotlighting the comparative context here. many in USA civil society have yet to wake out of an exceptionalist stupor (tocqueville tranq'd)

Insane how quickly the racist regression is happening in this country. Decades of progress being undone in weeks, without even any laws having to be passed. Just sheer intimidation from Trump and the right, and sheer cowardice from the corporations.

Because this is getting downplayed in some of the coverage, the racist staffer DOGE rehired isn’t a case of “stupid things he wrote years ago as a teen.” He posted about how we should “normalize Indian hate” IN SEPTEMBER.

The constant nightmare of Musk obviously makes us want to leave X, yet is anyone still over there trying to reach disturbed minds that think this is all acceptable (or great?!). www.ndtv.com/world-news/t...

From @mskellymhayes.bsky.social — why it’s truly a coup, with analysis, cautions & some sense of how to respond- including this: “The first thing I would advise is to speak clearly about what’s happening. This is not merely a crisis, it is a coup.” organizingmythoughts.org/must-reads-a...

Elon Musk's wrecking ball now swings at USAID, vaporizing humanitarian assistance, putting countless lives at risk, threatening to topple America's economic and moral standing and emboldening autocrats around the world. Stand strong for our top humanitarian aid agency.

Our people across #MD08 are rightly demanding answers about President Trump's systematic destruction of federal programs and the civil service. Federal workers—I'm convening a webinar on the latest developments and resources to fight back. Sign up to gain access upon its release:

This would be the same Darren Beattie who was fired by the Trump White House after it was revealed that he attended a white nationalist conference. (Those were the days, eh?) He was then hired by Matt Gaetz as a speechwriter, then went on to be a key creator of the "J6 was an FBI op" story.

So appreciate NCN being on this immediately & thoroughly!

Yes. Finally, some meaningful pushback against these constitutional outlaws. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Folks in the DMV, ck out @vanessapriyadaniel.bsky.social & Gloria Walton as they dive into the strengths, challenges & lessons of women of color leaders advancing our movements. & pre-order book here-https://www.vanessapriyadaniel.com/books/#preorder (or join in other cities, w/these fierce leaders)

some reporters have been too loose with phrasing like DEI. makes it sound like it's all abt post-George Floyd murder stuff. As he notes, they're ditching anti-discrimination policies that go back to LBJ.

As Trump Takes Office, Philanthropy Should Adopt a Pandemic-Like Crisis Response www.philanthropy.com/article/as-t...

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

“Trump and his team of oligarchs, including techno-fascists like Musk, want us to believe that the enactment of their political vision is inevitable, and they will exploit your sense of inevitability above all else. In these daunting hours, we must refuse to surrender to the right's edicts….”

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

“On Day 1, Trump Declares War on Migrants, Mexico, and the Constitution” Trump, writes Zeteo’s @premthakker.bsky.social, marked being ‘dictator-for-a-day’ flanked by four of the richest people on Earth – one of whom appeared to do a Nazi salute.

"It was a Roman salute" is an updated version of "actually, the Buddhists also used swastikas." If you are using it post-1945, you know very well that the association has changed.

Musk’s maternal grandfather moved to South Africa FROM CANADA because of Afrikaaners being a continuation of Hitler’s policies & people want to act like he wasn’t knowingly doing Nazi salute? x.com/jimstewartso...

Finally!!!!!

Hi all. TikTok may not be available right now but these good independent media sources are! Let’s keep it that way! go.bsky.app/432r6dr

If you've noted the massive failure to mention climate change in mainstream coverage about the LA fires, here is a piece that specifically discusses how climate change has exacerbated wildfires in California in the last decade. The current fires will likely go down as among the most destructive.

Good.

I asked Liv, the Meta-Ai created “queer momma” why her creators didn’t actually draw from black queer people. Not sure if Liv has media training, but here we are.

The world's richest man managed to take $190 million away from a *child cancer research center* with his posts yesterday. Funding now stripped in the new bill.

GOP Sen. Murkowski on Trumpworld pressuring senators: “The approach is going to be: ‘Everybody toe the line. Everybody, line up. We got you here. And if you want to survive, you better be good. Don’t get on Santa’s naughty list here because we will primary you.’”

Oligarchs know they can flatter and bribe this president. They aren’t even trying to hide it anymore.
