Impeach Trump.

The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim—

Oh.

the information divide is genuinely wild right now

go to any mainstream source, even the ones we all complain about, and the headlines are all THE WORLD IS ENDING

go to Fox and you have to scroll before you even find anything on tariffs, the whole thing barely exists

How many train wrecks do we have to survive before we pull our heads out of our collective asses and let women run this country?

They called it from day one.

I just learned the guy who runs the coffee shop on my block used to be a tagger and graffiti artist. he decided he was too old for that and now he and his crew make miniature trains and cities and tag the boxcars, walls and billboards (that light up!) absolutely pure, non-toxic masculinity!

YOU GUYS.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse.

2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report."

3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes."

This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

For what it’s worth, when I spent years in Afghanistan and Iraq, the most powerful thing I ever saw was USAID digging wells & repairing schools. The most effective power we will ever have.

Guy who runs a farmers market booth I’ve shopped at for years had much less produce than usual, he said people are afraid to work thanks to ICE and the new administration. Grimness everywhere.

The Department of Education is one of the most important institutions in our country. Its elimination will turn us back decades, with the goal of whitewashing history, normalizing slavery, J6 & erasing Pride, Juneteenth and MLK as national holidays.

It’s gross negligence.

Wow. Jamie Raskin discusses a possible impeachment of Donald Trump for illegal executive overreach.

“Find me two Republicans and I’ll go to work tomorrow.”

Would you support impeachment against Donald Trump?

why do the R's know how to do this and the D's don't? It makes no sense.

Congress must take action to restore the rule of law.

Hot tip for the next two years: a Republican bill does the opposite of what it’s called.

A GOP bill defunding schools that mandate vaccines would be called the “Protect our Schools Act.”

A GOP bill raising the retirement age for social security would be called the “Retire With Dignity Act.”

Do older Americans know that Elon Musk now controls access to their Social Security and health insurance?

How Has Diversity Affected Your World? A Saturday prompt

Today begins Black History Month officially recognized by Pres. Ford “to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.”

And what’s Trump doing? Banning its celebration in the military.

The Story of the Harlem Renaissance, in 6 Facts Throughout the 1920s, New York City’s Harlem neighborhood served as the vibrant headquarters of a transformative period in African American art, literature, music, and social justice leadership.

historyfacts.com/us-history/a... Trump may not want to celebrate but all of us should lift up Black History month.

Tried my best. Sorry I couldn’t pull it through everyone - we live to fight another day. ♥️

Tweet from Trump that says: “Really too bad that AOC lost the Battle for the Leadership Seat in the Democrat Party. She should keep trying. Someday, she will be successful!”

You know it’s bad when even Trump is pity posting through it 💀

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

The folks obsessively posting about egg prices for the past few years have gone strangely quiet just as egg prices hit an all-time high.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

German Opposition Gambles With Far-Right on Immigration, and Loses Friedrich Merz and his Christian Democrats broke a political taboo by working with the hard-right Alternative for Germany to toughen rules on immigration. It did not pay off.

In an effort to portray himself and his party as tough on immigration, Friedrich Merz, the leader of the poll-leading Christian Democrats, pushed a series of measures tightening borders and accelerating deportations through Parliament this week. He did so with help from the hard-right Alternative for Germany party, or AfD — parts of which have been classified as extremist by German intelligence agencies. On Friday, the gambit ended in a crushing legislative defeat for Mr. Merz, dissent in his own party and jubilant claims of new legitimacy from the AfD, a chain reaction that could rattle Mr. Merz’s comfortable seat at the top of the polls. Mr. Merz’s willingness to rely on support from the AfD, broke a taboo in German politics that had endured since the end of World War II.

Lessons to be learned:

1. Centrists align with far-right to look tough on immigration
2. Centrists gain nothing
3. Far-right wins more power

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
