It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

DOGE has also canceled leases for ten Social Security offices, a vast majority of which are in states Trump carried. Really screwing over Trump’s own voters. Green Bay WI White Plains NY Logan WV Carlsbad CA Batesville AR Columbus OH Okemos MI Nacogdoches TX Las Vegas NV Roanoke Rapids NC

Lesson In Resistance: How To Tell A Tyrant To Go Fuck Himself In Public

Why indeed…

Fresh off appearing on Newsmax this morning, Politico's White House bureau chief is hosting an event at CPAC 🤔

NEW: Trump's DOJ is threatening to prosecute a central New York sheriff. Why? The sheriff released a man ICE wanted to arrest, after the man completed his sentence. A constitutional scholar told us "there's no basis in the law" for such charges. But the DOJ wants to spook local officials. More:

With the entire world as a witness.

This is really something

Never forget.

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

No I think it’s good

Amanda Zurawski, one of the Texas women who nearly died due to the states abortion ban, has been named one of Time’s Women of the Year.

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"

this is the new orange un-united states of america...

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

Maddow: All of this absolutely historically unprecedented. No president has ever come out of the gate with numbers like this ever before. And it is across the board

If DOGE isn’t stopped, there will be disastrous impacts on the lives of everyday Americans. I attended the #SaveOurServices protest in Los Angeles to get answers.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

Steve Bannon says him and the Felons that think singing our anthem by a bunch of Felons is something patriotic will be singing it at the Kennedy Center. Let’s find out exactly when and show up! Make them understsnd Justice has not been served yet, but it will be served!! Seems like a good time!!

🚨 NEW: Here we go again. Steve Bannon just threw up a Nazi salute at CPAC—right in front of the crowd. This isn’t accidental. They know exactly what they’re doing. Don’t let them gaslight you.

“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.” ~ @michaeldweiss.bsky.social

Trump has made great progress converting the Republicans into a pro-Putin party, but not so much converting the American majority into a pro-Putin people. February 2025 Pew polling www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

When republicans screamed “we’re the party of small government” what they really meant was we’re a small party of techno-feudal, psychopathic monarchists taking over the entire government to enrich ourselves and crush everyday Americans like roaches

Holy shit! The ultimate resister right here. Watch what he does at the end. ✊🏾✊🏿✊🏻🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈💙 He is our example. This happened today at a Huntington Beach, California city Council meeting. People are gonna have to be willing to get this loud, get in their faces, make a noise.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

There seems to be a conflict within the Republican Party regarding the direction in which they want to lead our country—either 1930s Germany or present-day Russia. Regardless, we must make sure they do not succeed.
