If it is fascism now it was fascism then but if you were wrong no need to pause to make a special effort to admit your error -- we don't have that much time now, please act right away, get organized, and then tell your followers what you are doing to stop fascism and what they too can do.
When the news is too overwhelming, I wander in fields and forests, soaking up nature’s gifts. I hope someone might find a moment of joy looking at this magnificent Fringed Gentian I found yesterday.
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
Newsom on ICE action outside his presser: "It's pretty sick & pathetic. It's everything you know about Trump's America & the authoritarian tendencies of the president. Wake up, America. You will not have a country if he rigs this election. You will a president running for a third term. Mark my word"
Pritzker calls for mass protests and disruption - “Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” he says, swaying their portraits will one day be put in museums “reserved for tyrants and traitors”
An estimated 5 million showed up today! 👏

The most important thing you must share today.
Trump is destroying your life savings and ability to make a living for 1 reason: he wants to make us all beggars who bow to him, his donors and his family.
Not sure why @chrismurphyct.bsky.social hasn’t posted this here but can’t be posted enough.
AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.
2. ECONOMIC BLACKOUT. We support the economic boycott occurring this Friday, Feb. 28, of any entity that has dismantled their DEI programs and pandered to this administration. The buck will stop with us!
There’s a website called Pepfar Impact Counter where you can track the # of adults & infants who’ve most probably died because Trump & Musk/DOGE suspended funding.
George W. Bush founded PEPFAR. While his Iraq war cost up to 1 million lives, PEPFAR has saved over 25 million. 🧵
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...

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.
Too many in mainstream & new media aren’t standing up to Trump’s assault on democracy—we will

Moochers in red. All the loudest Federal Government haters are the states who depend on federal subsidies paid from the taxes collected from predominantly blue states.
Jimmy Carter, a visionary on ending fossil fuels, put solar panels on the White House. Big Oil-backed Ronald Reagan ousted Carter in 1980 and ripped them out
Tonight, as Carter lies in in state in the Capitol, a climate-fueled wildfire is destroying Reagan's former hometown of Pacific Palisades
Trump's Cabinet appointments are shocking, but part of a plan. We should be wary of shock, which excuses inaction. We have to get through the surprise and the shock to see the design and the risk.

MONTHS AFTER Joe said he would not pardon Hunter, Trump won the election & appointed a man as FBI Director who has spent the last 4 years on every right-wing podcast ranting that he was going to go after Hunter. Obsessed with him. Were you aware of that, critics? Not relevant?
The "Non-profit Killer" bill (HR 9495) is back.🚨
This dangerous bill will allow Trump's Treasury Dept to block any non-profit that is deemed a 'threat'.
It is BACK for a vote on Thursday. Call your rep NOW and demand a NO vote.
