So MSNBC eliminates all of its non-white faces, and now NBC gives Lester Holt the boot. Are we sensing a fucking pattern here? IT IS MORE IMPORTANT NOW THAN EVER TO LIFT THE VOICES OF PEOPLE OF COLOR. Goddamn every single one of those trying to literally whitewash society.

ATTENTION, SHOPPERS! We have a Silver Alert! If you’re missing an elderly gentleman, he is in the managers office. He is confused but he is safe.
Trump: "We were the richest relatively -- think of this -- from 1870 to 1913. That was our richest. Because we collected tariffs ... we had so much wealth. Of course, now we give it away to transgender ... everybody gets a transgender operation."

While it's true that Democrats in Congress -- and especially the House -- have relatively little power right now, what they can do is use their local offices to find people suffering from Trump's policies, like this caller, and lift up their voices and tell their stories
CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

Here's the acting head of FEMA just unliterally deciding that Article I is fake earlier today. The Constitution is not in effect.

Every Dem rep needs a handy dandy cheat sheet that lists each congressional district with how much federal funding it received and how much its constituents paid in. And every single time one of the taker reps opens their gob list off how much they get vs how much they pay.

There's no "leadership" without followers. Trump plans for territorial aggression against western-hemisphere allies and partners are not "leadership." They are predation.

In 2010, Viktor Orbán launched a power grab nearly identical to Trump's. It led to the death of democracy in Hungary.

Their democracy died. They have lessons for America about Trump’s power grab.
Hungarians who lived through Viktor Orbán’s 2010 power grab warn Americans: Act now, before it’s too late.

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.
