@gallego.senate.gov Senator, you were just elected. If you want your job to be anything other than ceremonial, VOTE NO on this bill. Do not let the destruction of our nation be a bipartisan effort

@kim.senate.gov Senate Dems must vote NO on the spending bill. We are the opposition party. Let’s start acting like it

A lot can happen in five months. 🇺🇸

Over $1.75 trillion was wiped out from the US stock market today. Trump owns all of this.

the stock market is crashing so hard today it resembles a SpaceX rocket

The age of digital warfare is upon us and the current regime has turned its arsenal upon its enemies—not Russia, Iran, or North Korea, but on Americans who oppose the First Felon wapo.st/41pvswh

This cartoon has never been more accurate than it is now.

Sharing some positive thoughts. 🫖

Trump’s executive order shutting down DEI claims that recruiting diverse applicants “diminishes the importance of individual merit, aptitude, hard work, and determination.” Donald Trump’s war on DEI isn’t about merit.

Man oh man Stephen Miller better hope he's wrong with his "only two genders" bullshit because one thing he is not, is a man

PSA: THEY WILL ALL VOTE FOR ALL OF IT. They are all complicit. There is no floor to it. There is no bridge too far. They will do whatever Trump and his handlers tell them to do. Don’t ask what they’ll do. Don’t listen to them. Any Republican with ethics is long gone. All that’s left now is detritus

PETE: “What we have to do now is make clear we do want government to work differently and better than it has, but burning it to the ground won’t do that for anyone.”

The waste is occupying the White House

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

I’ll say long live the king when “the king” is dead and buried. May the good Lord see fit to deport his soul to hell without delay #ThereAreNoKingsHere #DemocracyMatters

Putinist

Because “women” is a dirty word in MAGAspeak

You dumbfucks said Biden wasn’t “really in charge” and then you handed Trump’s presidency to Elon fucking Musk?

Most of us have used Global Positioning System (GPS) for navigation & we can thank Gladys West for creating the foundation for GPS. She used her mathematical & programming expertise to invent an accurate model of the Earth. She was inducted into the US Air Force Hall of Fame.

The slash and burn cuts by the Afrikaner-in-chief are jobs held by our neighbors, friends, family members. Food that will not be distributed via USAID will not be redistributed to American vets. None of this makes America great. It makes America cruel and weak and it makes the world less stable

Fascism is when Donald Trump bans 1600+ vetted Afghan Muslim refugees who helped USA against the Taliban—but now issues an Executive Order accepting white Afrikaner South Africans as refugees to the USA. It was never about justice or national security. It was always about advancing white supremacy.

NEW: USAID source says staff are scrambling to save archived copies of US regulations before they're gone & are being actively locked out of systems, including a publicly available database of USAID documents. WIRED has built software to systematically check the status of 1,374 government domains.

“Manufacturing a perpetual emergency constantly requires new enemies.”

If Google is going to go along with renaming the Gulf of Mexico I think we need to rename them.
