Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.

I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Herr Goebbels Angered By Anti-Nazi Wit Comedians Banned For Humorous Remarks on Leaders --The Montreal Star, 4 Feb 1939

1939

Sunday thought The more Trump’s tyranny is exposed, the stronger the resistance.

The more Trump’s tyranny is exposed, the stronger the resistance. The worse it gets, the larger the backlash. The crueler and more vicious his regime becomes, the more powerful the alliances being formed at every level of society and the world to stop him. Keep up the fight.

We are watching America’s separation of powers go up in smoke, wisp by wisp

On this day in 1868, the 14th Amendment was ratified. The text is just as clear and relevant today as it was back then. Donald Trump is trying to erase this.

BREAKING: Congress just gave final approval on a budget bill that guts Medicaid, defunds Planned Parenthood, and supercharges funding for ICE.

We the people will bear the brunt of these harmful policies — and we won’t forget who caused this devastation to our health, rights, and dignity.

We are going to PRESS ON. Thank you for speaking for 8 hours and 44 minutes House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries -- it gave us the shot of HOPE we needed.

Mr. President, you love playing the schoolyard bully but, at age 79, it’s time to cut it out. It’s one thing to steal one kid’s lunch money, but your bill STEALS LUNCH MONEY FROM MILLIONS OF KIDS. Now, that’s real ugly.

Say this!

I want House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to end his floor speech by reading the Declaration of Independence. When is the last time you read the Declaration of Independence?

For SEVEN hours and counting, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has been on the House Floor lifting up the voices of everyday people who will pay the price for Republicans' betrayal.

We will keep telling those stories.

We will keep raising our voices.

We will keep sounding the alarm.

“He’s not there.”

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com features yet another stunning example of Trump’s mental decline

We're tired, my beauties, but as long as we're breathing, we're not out of this fight.

Jason Delgado (Florida Capitol reporter for Spectrum News 13) on X: "Quick look at what inside a detainment tent looks like here at Alligator Alcatraz." What is shown in the picture is a long tent structure, about 50 feet wide. There is a corridor running down the middle. On each side are three rows of bunk beds. The bunk beds are sectioned off into cells which are constructed out of chain link fence, with chain link on the ceiling as well, making each cell a literal cage. It looks to me like each cell contains 9 bunk beds, so has capacity for 18 people each.

Literal cages. Not even metaphorical ones. Literal ones.

Republicans pulled an all-nighter to:

-strip healthcare away from 17 million Americans
-take food assistance away from 3 million Americans
-eliminate school meal access for 18+ million kids
-send energy costs soaring
-add $3.3 trillion to national debt
-raise health care premiums for seniors

Shame, shame Lisa Murkowski. You got your little goodies for Alaska and gave the middle finger to the rest of the country.

“Alligator Alcatraz” will begin operations on Wednesday.

This is your reminder that a prison without due process is a concentration camp.

You know what’s more American than installing 88 foot flag poles at the White House? Following the Constitution.

Regardless of your opinion on Iran strike, Trump is showing a case of CHICKENING OUT, so far

Every time he considers action he backs. Remember after Iran attacked us troops, shot down 200 million dollar plane, etc?

As we have always said. Talks big but scared to death. Taco

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.”

What Eisenhower said over 70 years ago is even more true today.

Thank you Tim

On this Friday the 13th the thing that scares me the most is the future of my country.

Just wanted to share the awe-inspiring map of protests that are scheduled to take place this weekend across the US.

The event was scheduled weeks ago but the message resonates now more than ever before!

Keep protesting. Don’t light cars on fire. Distracts from a situation in which Trump looks bad for over the top raids that spurred the crisis and his obvious exploiting of the crisis he started. Really nothing is more counterproductive. Just throwing him a lifeline.

As LBJ said 60 years ago, freedom is not just opening the gates of opportunity.

True freedom is ensuring everyone has the ability to walk through them.
