❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status. Call the GI Bill Rights hotline: 1-877-447-4487

This asshole raised prices and ruined your retirement savings, and now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Every so often we need a reminder like this that words have actual meanings

@duckworth.senate.gov Sen. Durbin and Rep. Danny Davis - this is even better than boycotting. Disrupt and derail the speech. Trump won’t have a single honest thing to say anyway, and we need to steal his thunder.

If you’re a Dem elected and you’re not mentioning the massive cuts to cancer cure and social security funding in every public appearance you’re just not doing your job.

chicago.suntimes.com/nation-world.... This is on Trump and Hegseth. Crony hiring is dangerous.

Where’s your belt Tom Brady lol ?

Finally. Dems have nothing to lose by opposing as hard as they can everything Felon47 does. Literally mean everything. There are no tummy rubs in the midterms for bipartisanship. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/u...

As has been pointed out, GOP oversaw the worst national security (9/11), foreign policy (Iraq), disaster response (Katrina), economic (2008 crash) and public health (COVID) crises of our lifetimes. Voters would have to be absolutely nuts to repeatedly put that party back in power, right?

Love Bluesky but going on a news and social media fast for a few days.

Removing Secret Service from Dr. Fauci is just another reminder that MAGA is defined wholly by violence.

alright you wanna know how to support trans people? hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit. Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

If Felon 47 solo climbs Denali he can rename it. Maybe…

The rules, if you are keeping track: If a single left activist anywhere in the world says "defund the police," it becomes the official position of the Democratic Party, now and forever. If the president's top surrogate repeatedly sieg-heils on stage, it's ambiguous, impossible to interpret.

Shove the Presidency Down Trump’s Throat newrepublic.com/post/190337/... via @newrepublic.com This is smart!

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

Whoa!

What’s up? Trump spewing nonsense to distract us and media, when actual important things are happening. - Release of the Smith report - R’s prepared to plunder social programs and explode the deficit for pointless, unproductive tax cuts - Open season on the environment - Etc.

NEW: “It may be just a car to some, but for my family it was sanity, peace of mind stolen from us.” In Connecticut, tow companies can sell people’s cars after 15 days. For low-income residents, the consequences can extend far beyond the cost of the car. w/ @ctmirror.org propub.li/3DDzcC6

I remain skeptical that these claimed tariffs will ever take effect. But note that Mexico is the biggest US trading partner and Canada is now essentially tied for second with China.
