Send a message to giant companies ripping us off. On Feb. 28, don't shop online, in big box stores, no Amazon, no Walmart, no Best Buy, fast food nor gas. Just one day will send a powerful message. Think they'll miss our DEI dollars? Don't spend. Then, let them know why.

For those keeping track at home, Dems held the floor all night and are still going strong this morning.
35+ Dems plan to hold the Senate floor all night to oppose the confirmation of Musk-Trump funding freeze architect Russ Vought. THIS is how we fight back while in the minority.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).
You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

If you, or a family member, are seriously ill, you are stressed and exhausted. This is the point where America, unlike most other countries asks you to also be your own health care administrator. People intuitively regard this as unfair and enraging.

Soul Behar Tsalik, an 18-year-old from Tel Aviv, is expected to show up at an induction center for the Israeli military in a few days, but he isn’t going to enlist. Instead — like a dozen other Israeli teens — he has decided to face military prison rather than comply with conscription.
More Israelis Are Refusing Deployment to Gaza. Will It Help End the Genocide?
Israeli draft resisters are refusing military conscription and deployment to Gaza, many in hopes of ending the genocide.

Thank you to @maddow.bsky.social for covering the bill that would give Trump unchecked power to shut down any organization that stands in his way. Will Democrats make it easier for Trump to pursue his authoritarian agenda or fight back? Call your representative ASAP: indivisible.org/resource/tel...

CMS is a real job. Maybe a TV host can pretend to do some mid-tier cabinet position while a deputy does the real work. CMS is a technocratic job responsible for 6,000 employees, complicated billing policy, HIPAA, etc.
Dr. Oz knows how to do precisely none of that.
