I just don’t understand how anyone can think we have any chance of having a sane country as long as this kind of despicable propaganda, lies and bigotry is broadcast daily by the biggest news site in the country.

Literally the authoritarian playbook:
1. Call your opponents terrorists.
2. Deploy state power against them.

There's nothing subtle or confusing or complex about what's happening. The *outcome* is uncertain but the authoritarianism is right out in the open.

The Logical Song just hits different today. “…Now watch what you say, they’ll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh fanatical, criminal…” 🤐

THIS. THIS. THIS.

The way America’s been behaving, we don’t even deserve a birthday party this year.

Disgusted is not a strong enough word. What happened to fiscal responsibility? What happened to “living your faith”? Republicans, you all drank the MAGA cult kool-aid and that is unforgivable.
For anyone who decided not to vote, this is also on you. 😡

Donald Trump bombed Iran tonight, not because they are about to have nuclear weapons (they are not), but because he needed a distraction from his tanking poll numbers and his deeply unpopular "Big Beautiful Bill."

He doesn't care who gets killed, Iranians or Americans, to help HIM.

If Donald starting a war without Congressional approval isn't an impeachable offense, what is?

Well, other than all the other things he does . . . like kidnapping Americans and disappearing them without due process.

TACO chickened out - what does Stephen Miller have on him, I wonder?

🤮

One thing I'm deducing from the whole "eat like great-grandma did" discourse is that The Jungle fell off the high school syllabus at some point and we should put it back.

🚨Jasmine Crockett & Eric Swalwell begged House Judiciary Republicans to vote NO. They offered deals, sweeteners, the whole package. And those damn soulless traitors STILL voted to let Trump exile American citizens.

This isn’t just betrayal—it’s the birth of authoritarian rule.
Sound the alarm.🚨

Thank you for amplifying this story @maddow.msnbc.com.

If Donald had an *ounce* of self-awareness, he'd know he was talking about himself.

Elon Is Coming for Your Social Security Plus: Don’t call it a “State of the Union” speech.

Wake up, America. Wake up, maga. You cushy enough to support your elderly parents when their SS checks stop coming? Then when YOU retire, you won't get back the money you've been paying in with every job since you were a teenager? You cool with that?

Stella has the right idea on this cold late winter day. #dogsofbluesky

I'm just so tired of crosses hanging from the necks of women supporting cruelty, starvation, disease and fascism.

I'm feeling nostalgic for competence.

BREAKING Republicans are trying to stop 69 million women from voting. This week, House Republicans introduced a bill that would disenfranchise women who changed their last name after getting married. They want to control women. Source: CAP, *The SAVE Act Would Dise franchise Millions of Citizens* (2025). Photos: Getty Images.

Here we go AGAIN 🤬

The SAVE Act would make it harder for millions of Americans to cast a ballot, this includes women who changed their name after marriage.

We must spread the word to protect our democracy.

It appears our entire national security apparatus is now owned by Vladimir Putin

As Trump waxes poetic about Russia

The Senate confirms Tulsi Gabbard-who spouts Russian talking points

And Pete Hegseth sells out Ukraine

This begs the question

What will be the long term ramifications for NATO

There were protests at every state capitol 2/5, now happening again on President's Day. Last time thousands of people showed up despite limited lead time and promotion.

Share widely so that media won't be able to ignore Americans this President's Day!! #50501 #buildtheresistance #wethepeople

Elon Musk’s team is set to delve into the nation’s aviation system, with his 20-year-old staffers utilizing AI to assist the FAA in a rapid overhaul of aviation technology. However, a more practical solution would be to simply hire more workers, as the FAA is severely short-staffed.

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

These are the Dem senators who voted to confirm Bessent, the dude who handed over YOUR personal/financial info/Social Security/Medicare/tax refund info- EVERYTHING - to Edolf Musk. Write to them. Call them. Now. Demand they do something and that they NOT confirm another single appointment.

Dumbest fucking person to ever live, and he’s in charge.

In case it helps someone:

The phrase “We don’t do / say that here” is immensely useful in managing people who feel emboldened to try to push boundaries and test behaviour norms in your spaces.
It’s a bland statement of fact, doesn’t contain an accusation, and can be used by anyone including peers.

California DOE statement that federal law prohibits the government from leverage grants to mandate specific instruction in schools.

This comes via @jeannekc.bsky.social and all I can say is more of this please.
