RIP Mr. Complex 🕊️

A real underground voice—dense bars, honest stories, no takin’. He made hip hop that made you think and feel. Gone too soon, but his words still echo on. An MCs MC for sure!! 🎤🖤

#RIPMrComplex 🕊️🙏

Inspired. Awed. Most of all, exhilarated

Turtle Mutual Aid:

His voice and style, dope plus intelligent, 1 of 1. Songs like manifest, precisely the right rhymes, take it personal, mass appeal are perfect match of mc and dj/profucer.

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person.

I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person

I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same

When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state

I’m excited to announce that @democrats.org are partnering with @electdemocrats.bsky.social and @demstateparties.bsky.social to host People’s Town Halls in all 50 states, starting in vulnerable red districts.

If Republicans won’t face voters about the Trump-Musk chaos, we will.

This song is top 10 Wu for me. The cadence changes 🔥🔥

We Can’t Give In to Fear From Marc | No one wants to speak up. Everyone wants to hide or lay low.

Go ahead and stay silent. Let fear rule you. Watch injustice happen. Just don’t act like you did not know and accept that you are the latest in a long line of cowards who learned nothing from the past. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-c...

the ones who solved Omelas by throwing everyone in the hole

These shirts are so well made and the art is so great. Classic but seldom seen before shots.

Focus on the US history of standing for freedoms and against fascism.

Stress what each and every one of us can do to organize in our communities

Focus on things like the transfer of the US (national parks, science discovery) to the billionaires. Not Elon specifically, as we are trying to change minds. “The billionaires”, “robber barons”, or another juvenile but catchy name.

This is evil. Pure evil.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Good words here. When Rs break with Trump on an issue like this let’s encourage it.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

House Democrats Have Leverage— If They Use It Republicans Can't Pass a Budget Without Democrats: Any funding bill that passes the Senate must clear the 60-vote filibuster, meaning Senate Republicans will be forced to compromise with Democrats. That bill will not be the full MAGA wishlist-it will be a negotiated deal. And here's the problem for House Republicans: as soon as the bill looks even remotely reasonable, hardline MAGA extremists will revolt. The House Freedom Caucus will refuse to vote for anything that doesn't include extreme cuts and right-wing poison pills. That means House Republicans' razor-thin 218-215 majority won't be enough to pass a budget on their own. If just three Republicans defect, the bill dies. Their chaos and dysfunction have already divided them. Democrats must not bail them out. Republicans will need Democratic votes to pass a budget, and that gives Democrats enormous leverage. The GOP Civil War is a Gift-Exploit It: The House GOP is eating itself alive. The far-right Freedom Caucus is demanding draconian cuts, while vulnerable Republicans fear the backlash of a shutdown. Demoerats should let them fight and use it to extract real concessions. The Shutdown Deadline is the GOP's Problem to Solve: Government funding runs out on March 14. If the GOP can't pass a bill, they own the shutdown. Instead of letting Republicans ram through a terrible deal, Democrats should be demanding a budget that stops MAGA looting and protects working families. Trump and His Billionaire Buddies Want to Steal the Budget: Trump and his inner circle, led by Russ Vought, are openly planning to override federal spending decisions, funnel cash to their allies, and slash social programs. If the budget doesn't include safeguards-real, meaningful, and enforceable safeguards— they will rob the country blind.

Government funding runs out on March 14. Republicans can’t pass a bill alone, so Democrats have real leverage here. We’re calling on Democrats to commit to withholding their votes and insist on an end to the Trump-Musk coup rampaging across the government.

1/8. This week I had a few different conversations with scholars who, in the face of the attacks on science and institutions of learning in the U.S., are wondering what to do. One suggestion I have is: keep doing your work. It matters in and of itself. Why do I say that? A few reasons.

Idea for Democrats in Congress:

Every morning, select spokespeople from the Democratic caucus are sent to address the press to talk about how the latest Trump dismantling effort is hurting Americans and what they are doing about it.

Call it “The People’s Briefing.”

Trump is unleashing sadism upon the world. But we cannot get overwhelmed | Judith Butler Those who celebrate his defiance and sadism are as claimed by his logic as those who are paralyzed with outrage

Profoundly important essay

By constantly reacting to Trump’s fascist acts, we are losing our minds

We must instead find passions of our own, imagine a better world, and mobilize & organize

Just spitballing, but things that could happen today:
*Court injunction protecting USAID
*Dems demand hearings on Musk's role
*Someone introduce articles of impeachment
*Dem officeholders go to USAID offices with USAID workers
*Refuse to conduct any more Senate confirmations until this is resolved
