So odd that Congress is so willing to have their power usurped and stripped from them.

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

Another good reminder from today is that to win this we all need to get used to cooperating with people we sometimes find highly annoying

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

I just think it’s funny that the president thinks making everything more expensive will be no big deal in a nation that exists because its ancestors overthrew their government rather than pay an extra tax on tea

Yes, Howard Lutnick, these are the jobs that will bring meaning and purpose back into our lives.

Reminder that Congress can pass a bill right now to block Trump's tariffs and end all of this. Right now. Today. And there are bipartisan options sitting right in front of them to do it. So what's the hold up? Afraid of upsetting the king? Call your reps 👉 5calls.org

PASS IT ON!

I would love to see Elizabeth Warren paired with Jasmine Crockett. 🔥🔥

The more Dem leaders fail to incorporate what we learn from experts on fascism, the more unhinged I’m going to get…. like the Duolingo owl, but different.

LAST NIGHT: Senate Democratic leadership cleared the way for Trump and Musk's spending bill. The Republican bill is an attack on working people, and codifies Trump's cuts to programs that people rely on. Now is the time to CALL YOUR SENATORS and tell them NO to Trump's CHAOS.

This!

Maybe it time to find a new home. The Quislings in Congress are just going to let this coup happen. If cloture passes, pissed off Democratic voters should switch parties. workingfamilies.org

some helpful reminders: -not all jews support israel -criticizing israel is not the same as being antisemitic -being pro-palestine does not equal being pro-hamas -arresting someone for being pro-palestine is a violation of the first amendment -violating someone’s first amendment rights is bad

Success should be shared, not hoarded by those at the top.

When America has your back — the weekly illustration from The Economist

Republicans are gutting our healthcare. Pass it on.

Nearly 200,000 Danes are supporting a comedic petition to buy California from the U.S., in what appeared to be a jab at President Donald Trump’s repeated threats to seize Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark.

I put this into a post. Please feel free to share. Call your R reps and tell them "I DIDN'T VOTE FOR CANCER!" - and demand they restore funding to the N.I.H. now. 202-224-3121 gregpak.net/2025/02/08/c...

It’s really wild how much Trump doesn’t even understand basic economics and instead is just performatively signing EOs that are meaningless. He is a figurehead head of state while Elon Musk runs the government.

Can we get people to focus on the fact that Greenlanders have EU status (which is kinda valuable) and that 90% of Greenlanders are indigenous Inuits?? No, they don’t “want to be with us.” This is straight up imperialist menace and a prelude to war with Denmark. A nightmare.

BBC not buying the gaslighting

I've mentioned this before, but the Democratic Party has a very serious generational problem. Institutionally, it is so dedicated to preserving and respecting seniority above all else that it becomes very difficult for badly-needed younger talent to have an impact.
