This was one of several reasons I was heartbroken and sickened two days ago. This 11-year-old, terrified her parents would be taken from her and tormented about it by other children, took her own life. It is incomprehensible and horrific that this is what's happening here in our country.

This WaPo piece has something valuable inside: the names of some of the grownups running DOGE behind the scenes. The Incels are a distraction. These people are real. It'd be helpful for people in the agencies to ID anyone from DOGE for...reasons. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

It’s a full fledged government takeover folks. There’s no other way to look at it. There will be no more mail-in ballots. Because they have no intention of ever leaving. #Resist www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

We’re only a month into Trump’s second term and it’s already long past time to impeach him again. We’re one of the first and only major organizations to call for Trump’s impeachment in his second term. Here’s why: 🧵 1/15 pathtoprogress.us/impeach

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

what do we need? REVOLUTION when do we need it? YESTERDAY

Union Square rally.

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated. Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

And on FOX NEWS, no less.

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

Do you know what Dems did today? It may not be everything we want them to, but Dems are fighting for us. They get very little media attention but Dems do indeed fight for us. Meanwhile, Republicans are the party of fascism/tyranny. Pay attention to what Dems are doing so you can tell your friends.

The greatest mystery of our time …

who's keeping track of all the people who die completely preventable deaths on trump and muskrat's watch?

Kakistocracy - government run by the least qualified & most inept. Kleptocracy- government run to enrich government officials. Oligarchy - government run by a small wealthy elite. This is the diversity of the Felon47 administration. Republicans covered all the bases. #DemVoice1

🚨🚨🚨 Trump just fired USAID inspector general Paul Martin—one day after he exposed how Trump’s foreign aid freeze & mass firings have made it easier for U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund terrorist groups like Hamas & ISIS.

just spitballing here. but what if. we just humor the doomsday-sayers. and assume things actually ARE that bad and neutralize the threat. instead of waiting around until, I don't know, WWIII breaks out, to decide maybe we should do something. just a thought.

Every. Word. Of. This! Senator Alsobrooks: "In his wicked hunt for vengeance, this president has decided that no target is too small, no family is too vulnerable, and no American is out of bounds."

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP. It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

27 banned words from the Orange Fascist's regime!

Corrupt billionaire immigrant Nazi Musk is the richest man on earth and he’s laser focused on dismantling an organization that feeds the poorest children on earth. That’s what pure evil is.

Where is DOGE on this expense?

Tons of food USAID bought from USA farmers is rotting at the Port of Houston. Due to Elon’s ax-wielding at the agency, no one is overseeing where the food should go. DOGE is WASTING billions of dollars #Voices4Victory m.youtube.com/watch?v=nDr-...

By confirming Russell Vought The GOP finally got a national abortion ban Because here is what Vought swore to do in Project 2025: End medication abortion Make hospitals deny life-saving care Prosecute people for mailing abortion meds Conduct surveillance on pregnant woman WE MUST FIGHT BACK

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

I cannot believe people are still trying to both-sides this chaos. Kamala lost. we don't need to talk about what a Harris presidency would have been like. THERE IS A FASCIST IN OFFICE AND HIS BILLIONAIRE MINION IS DOING A COUP. all that matters now is what we do about that.

Instead of cutting costs for working families, Donald Trump is slashing the federal investments that fund their lifesaving care, fuel their local economy, and lower their health care costs. It’s cruel, short-sighted, and will cost jobs and devastate millions of families.

So at this point, I hope everyone is coming to terms w/ what we are actively undergoing. WE ARE EXPERIENCING AN AUTHORITARIAN TAKE OVER OF THE UNITED STATES! This is a FACT! Please understand this! Not talking about it, we're living it! Understand it! 👇🏼 #resist resolutesquare.com/articles/59W...

You could build an AI Joseph Heller to write an absurdist story line about far-right McCarthyism rising again in the tech age and it couldn't have come up with anything this outlandish

I just realized I don't actually know what melon husk sounds like, and I'm extremely ok with that
