This is the way… Thousands of Democrats are flooding town halls around the country, making their voices heard and demanding their senators and reps to do more, to fight harder against Trump and Musk! Don’t let up—it’s working.

How to transform your car brand into a symbol of hate. Cartoon by Fredrik Skavlan in Aftenposten, a Norwegian newspaper
4 long, vertical and narrow red flags with black Tesla logos on them, resembling a uniform display. two men in blue suits stand nearby, looking at the flags. one says, “somehow it feels more than just a car brand.”

I wrote about Kendrick Lamar Superbowl performance-- its subversive messaging about America being a rigged, deadly game of survival-- especially for Black people. But we need to stop pretending revolution is going to come from celebrities. It'll come from us. Gift link here: wapo.st/42JVBs6

Opinion | Kendrick Lamar’s performance was as Black and subversive as all get-out
His message at the Super Bowl was a warning and a threat.

Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show was packed with symbolism – Samuel Jackson as “Uncle Sam” sneering, “Too loud, too ghetto, too reckless,” followed by “cultured chicos,” challenging society’s view of Black culture.

As a brazilian (a country also endangered by fascism), my advice for you is: don't let fear stop you for acting against fascism. If fear grows and paralyses you, use the hate inside yourself to keep yourself moving. Don't obbey in advance. Don't let them win without opposition.

Musk might be the face of DOGE, but Thiel’s fingerprints are all over its foundation. And that’s alarming—Thiel’s belief in tech-driven disruption has long been tied to far-right ideologies, using his wealth & influence to consolidate power, undermining democracy & the systems meant to protect us.

For those wondering why there’s a bear on California flag—it’s a tribute to CA’s strength, defiance, & fearless independence. In 1846, CA rebelled & was briefly its own country. The last of the grizzlies were wiped out by 1920s, but their spirit lives on. Bold, rebellious, & unmistakably Californian

Popular meme format, grandma labeled with "bluesky's public launch was one year ago today." Younger person helping her labeled with "sure grandma let's get you to bed."

NBC News is being kicked out of its space in the Pentagon and replaced by OANN.
MEMORANDUM FOR THE PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION
SUBJECT: New Annual Media Rotation Program for Pentagon Press Corps
For over a half-century, the Pentagon Press Corps has benefited from working out of individual office spaces that provide coveted and open access to some of the Department's top military and civilian leaders.
Known as the Correspondents' Corridor, this office space loaned to media outlets by the
Secretary of Defense stands as a tribute to the importance the Department has long placed on informing the public about the U.S. military and all it does to project peace through strength. It also honors the many correspondents who put their lives on the line, and in many cases died, while covering our finest in battle.
In order to broaden access to the limited space of the Correspondents' Corridor to outlets
that have not previously enjoyed the privilege and journalistic value of working from physical office space in the Pentagon, beginning February 14, 2025, the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs will implement a new Annual Media Rotation Program for those dedicated media spaces.
Each year, one outlet from each press medium - print, online, television and radio - that
has enjoyed working from a physical office in the Pentagon will rotate out of the building to allow a new outlet from the same medium that has not had the unique opportunity to report as a resident member of the Pentagon Press Corps.
This year, the following news outlets will begin their rotation by vacating their physical
office space effective Friday, February 14, 2025:
Print - The New York Times
TV - NBC News
Radio - National Public Radio
Online News - POLITICO
In their place, the following outlets from each medium will be invited to move into the
Correspondents' Corridor workspaces formerly occupied by the above four outlets.
Print - New York Post
TV - One America News Network
Radio - Breitbart News Network
Online News - HuffPost News (aka The Huffington Post)To be clear, the outlets that vacate the spaces loaned to them by the Secretary will remain as full members of the Pentagon Press Corps. They will continue to enjoy the same media access to the Pentagon and will be able to attend and cover briefings and be considered for travel with civilian and military leaders in the Department as they have previously.
The only change will be giving up their physical workspaces in the building to allow new
outlets to have their turn to become resident members of the Pentagon Press Corps.
Thank you in advance for participating in the Pentagon Press Corps Annual Media
Rotation Program. By turning over the office space loaned to you by the Secretary, you will ensure that new outlets will have the same opportunity you have enjoyed covering our nation's finest up close from office spaces inside the walls of the Pentagon.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

Trump’s 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico are a gamble we can’t afford. Expect higher prices on everyday goods, increased costs for manufacturers, potential job losses, and damaged trade relations with our allies. How exactly is this “America First” when we’ll be the ones paying the price?
