It’s not just Space X. Musk was able to save Tesla because of a loan from the Dept of Energy. Here he is in 2013 filled with gratitude for the federal agency & the taxpayers who saved his business. From reporting by @puck.news. airmail.news/issues/2025-...

If you care about abortion access, voting rights, and the future of Wisconsin, you should care about the WI Supreme Court election! We can’t let conservatives who want to ban abortion and roll back our rights take control of the court. 🗳️ Vote for Judge Susan Crawford on April 1.

From the get go of the second Trump administration, it was clear that the president would try to pass a bunch of executive orders without any clear indication that he, or his trusted advisors, actually knew if it was legal. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/wha...

Really good. READ @legaldefensefund.bsky.social ‘s analysis.

Don’t be a nice person…

“A lot of my neighbors that voted for Trump, they walking around scared, crying, nervous” #LeopardsAteMyFace

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

Upset to learn that Judge Vargas’s clerks don’t follow me on here bc if they did she would’ve added one more thing to this order….

Here’s the hard truth: this country’s people are tired of subsidizing billionaires. Want your cars to sell? Do it without subsidies. Want to shoot rockets into space? Get by without govt contracts. Want to build a website? Build your own internet first. We are DONE with you.

📌It’s about time ALL our retired military flag officers started showing some damn leadership by speaking out against this authoritarian attack on our nation. You know damn well that what is happening right now is WRONG.

AOC: “Elon Musk is not going after efficiency — he is trying to gut everything good in 🇺🇸 for his own private profit… America is not for sale.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGXObpu...

Modern-Day Peaceful Protest… TikTokers are hunting Cybertrucks—pulling up behind them and projecting anti-Elon Musk messages onto the tailgate. What’s genius: the driver has zero rear visibility & zero idea. The Cybertruck Hunters account launched a week ago and already dropped a dozen videos.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Really proud to be from Maine today.

“The United States has threatened to cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink satellite internet terminals if Kyiv does not reach a deal with the U.S. regarding critical mineral resources, Reuters reported on Feb. 21, citing three sources familiar with the negotiations.”

For the first weeks, Americans seemed frozen, expecting institutions to do something. Americans were used to “checks and balances” and “guardrails” working. That didn’t happen. People realized that they had to take matters into their own hands… open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

200 million dollars of waste.

NEW: Public health teams are being gutted by Trump's purge of federal employees, imperiling crucial, lifesaving work. "We are hollowing out our government in a way that is going to hurt people and is going to get people killed." w/ @deldeib.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/trum...

“I voted for you 3 times but as of now eastern Ky has been destroyed by flooding and I haven't heard from you nor frankly do I see any help here in pikeville,ky on the ground correct me if I'm wrong” #LeopardsAteMyFace

Any anti-Trump organization or outlet that isn’t blasting stories about the fed families Trump is turning upside down right now is committing malpractice We’re talking pregnant mothers who are veterans/mil spouses who were fired for no reason other than being probationary. Disabled vets. Disgusting

"Karen is suddenly very worried about her special needs childrens’ education after voting for man who wants to dismantle Dept of Education" @leopardsatemyface.bsky.social #LeopardsAteMyFace

Trump fans can’t get over threatening Ukraine “So the US is now a country that threatens and robs other countries. Amazing. I was a Trump supporter but … now I start to believe those who say Trump is a fascist. He is showing his true colors and it's ugly af.” #LeopardsAteMyFace

Infant mortality rates in the US have increased by 7% following the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision.

Shoutout to Governor Janet Mills! This is the kind of courage we need.

Tennessee just passed a law that allows criminal charges vs local officials who vote for a sanctuary policy. Florida just passed a law empowering DeSantis to remove elected local officials who don't obey ICE. And: DOJ is threatening prosecution against a NY sheriff who didn't comply with ICE.

I am very politically active and write/call my congressman often. I have lived in his district for almost 2 decades. I have never seen him in person and it’s not for a lack of trying. No town halls. No visiting his district. I’ve never seen hide nor hair of Sam Graves.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Soon it will be too late. Congress must act. Republicans deserve relentless protests and demands for their acquiescence to this man solidifying power to overrun our democracy.

AP could have been cowardly and rolled over for Trump. “We had to comply or we’d lose [funding/access/privileges]” like so many orgs are doing. It would have been easy for them to say “gulf of America” But it never stops there. They got the memo. Good job AP.

Dear America, has it really come down to this? Slash funding for 40.6 million children’s healthcare to enable Trump and his MAGA administration to cut taxes for 756 Billionaires?!? Speak up. Speak out. Right now!!! Don’t cut my Medicaid

Tell Congress: Pass the "Stop the Steal" bill to prevent anyone from meddling with our payment systems and data actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

WATCH: “You just said something that’s not true — that tens of millions of dead people are on that list… but the same report you cited said almost none of them have received Social security.” Trump’s Press Sec hides behind saying they “suspect” it, then runs away 🤔

firing for "too much DEI" is plainly firing a woman and a Black man on the presumption only white men can be qualified. this is disgusting biogtry.

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

📉📉📉

JUST IN: “A federal judge in Maryland on Friday blocked the Trump administration from terminating federal grants and contracts related to DEI as called for in executive orders signed by President Donald Trump.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

BREAKING: Donald Trump just fired General CQ Brown (left) and has replaced him with the less qualified Lt. General Dan Caine. DEI isn’t a problem if you’re white.

🚨🚨🚨 Join our DIGITAL RALLY now! The Republican war on health care is alive and well. Republicans have one goal in mind: rip away coverage for millions in order to provide tax breaks for their billionaire friends. Don't Cut My Medicaid.

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.
