Elon tried to bribe voters with $1 million checks and he STILL lost by a huge margin. People utterly despise him.

Facebook started taking down posts of historian Heather Cox Richardson, a national voice. This is outrageous! You can follow her here on Bluesky. But, to see her wonderful posts at Letters From an American, you can subscribe at this link. There is no paywall. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

Wow. So young. Rip

FUCK YOU, ELON!!!!

Well done, Corey Booker. "Good trouble!"

RIP USAID — all remaining 900 employees will be fired.

"A terrified young student, snatched off the street by a masked police force taken thousands of miles across the country without anyone knowing. It is as flatly authoritarian as anything we have ever seen in this country," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk's detention.

I learned this week that you can put our troops' lives in danger, compromise our national security, and violate the Espionage Act. And the government will do nothing. But if you write an editorial for your school newspaper that Trump doesn't like, you will be abducted on the street and disappeared.

Turning dehumanizing conditions and ritual humiliation into a US government propaganda video. This makes me ill

There’s that airtight logic we’ve come to rely on from Don Jr

Although I knew it was likely like this, I’m still shocked reading it. Must read, in order to know the depths of fascism we are only beginning to experience. And the treatment that those who dissent will likely be subjected to sooner rather than later.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

I don't remember the night without an air raid alert in Kyiv. Here it is. Drones. What do I do? From time to time, check monitoring channels to see which part of the city drones are in. One day, I realised that I was used to it.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

The Trump administration is demanding the home addresses of 700,000 people suspected of being in the country illegally from the IRS. The IRS is resisting this request, as complying would directly violate federal tax privacy laws.

We are so screwed! Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said her country needs deeper economic and security ties with Europe and parts of Asia due to the geopolitical shift unfolding under Trump, per WSJ.

We just received word that the DOJ has begun removing data detailing criminal charges and convictions related to Trump loyalists. This started with records from the January 6th insurrection, but additional records are now being erased. We will keep you updated once we have more info.

JUST IN: President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk for a second time are demanding federal employees explain their accomplishments in weekly emails. After the first email, some agencies directed employees not to respond due to sensitive work.

A reminder, today is the boycott! If you need anything, buy local, and cash is queen!

Just want to make you all aware that weeks before hurricane season, DOGE has fired 1,000 at FEMA and a dozen senior officials are leaving, and today NOAA fired 800 employees, with more possibly on Friday.

On Wednesday a wave of emails went out from the Trump regime's State Department formally terminating funding for 5,800 projects, incl for programs funding combatting polio, H.I.V., malaria, and nutrition programs around the world. So ashamed of our country right now! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/h...

Friendly reminder, tomorrow is black out Friday. No purchases at any large retailer, except friendly ones (such as Costco). I do believe local businesses are of course exempt from the blackout. Please partake.

Keep Indianapolis Beautiful lost a $400K grant that was set to create more green spaces in Indianapolis. https://www.wishtv.com/news/keep-indianapolis-beautiful-loses-400k-grant-during-federal-slashes/ 

A good thing happened today, my sister who has always voted republican accept this time she chose not to vote because she doesn’t like Trump, said she will never vote republican again, I hope more people are like her and see how republicans are trying to destroy this country.

Trump has begun firing several hundred FAA employees. Guess who is visiting the FAA command center today to "suggest improvements"? Elon Musk, of course. The billionaire grift continues. https://apnews.com/article/doge-faa-air-traffic-firings-safety-67981aec33b6ee72cbad8dcee31f3437

There’s been so much interest in from US 🇺🇸health workers and jobs in Canada that I’m posting recruitment links for all 10 provinces and 3 territories: 🧵 #healthcarejobs🇨🇦

Lovely. Jan. 6 insurrectionists who were pardoned by Trump, are targeting F.B.I. agents and prosecutors of their cases, as well as jail workers by posting their names on social media, and encouraging other insurrectionists to do the same. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

I hope everyone w Netflix will watch this doc about how far the LGBTQ+ communities had come in Germany by 1933 & how much was lost. I think most ppl will be shocked to see how forward thinking Berlin was. It’s important for us to see the similarities as it will better prepare us for battles to come.

This is crazy and dangerous. FAA is already understaffed. apnews.com/article/doge...

An important point to keep in mind.
