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.

For obvious reasons, the lesson—the internet wisdom—behind ‘don’t feed the trolls’ is applicable to random comment board participants but not the president of the United States. The president and his White House staff spending time fantasizing about a monarchy is not wise to ignore.

I'd like to bring this multimillion-dollar photo-op to the attention of Elon Musk and DOGE. Instead of firing food inspectors and air traffic controllers and cancelling critical medical research at NIH, stop this outrageous waste of our people's tax dollars!

Gift link. The actual story of the shackled people being deported without even being told where they were being taken — maybe to countries where they’d face torture or death — while their terrified children cried.😢 The White House posted that pic with “ASMR” tag. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

Becoming a monarchy to trigger the Libs. But, like, at a certain point you've gotta change the name. You can't go around calling yourself the Republican Party.

Throughout his pontificate, Pope Francis has ended every address with an ask: “Please, do not forget to pray for me, not against me. Sometimes he adds: “This job isn’t easy.” Other times he says: “If you’re not the praying type then send good vibes.” Today, we honor his requests. 🙏

When my class was elected in 2010, we cut congress’ own budget and our personal ones by about 10 percent. This one should cut theirs by about 20, and each office should lay off a couple employees. Same DOGE is requiring. Make every @gop answer

This is a quote ascribed to Napoleon Bonaparte, who launched a coup against the French Republic and installed himself as First Consul and later Emperor of the French Empire. So, yeah, things are going great.

Yes, this. Silence is how they get away with it. To my colleagues in government: don’t resign. Make them fire you. Stand up for your profession and yourselves. Fight back, however you can. That last part applies to those of us not in government, as well.

Trump has been president for 21 days as of noon. He has spent all or part of 10 of those days at properties he owns, businesses where he often interacts with his private customers. He has played golf on at least five of those days.

Well, we can now add Gaza to Panama, Greenland and Canada on the list of territories Trump wants to conquer or annex. Remember when he was the anti-War candidate? It was a few weeks ago.

Trump says a lot of weird shit about owning Gaza. It's upsetting. I get it. Meanwhile with the other hand, Elon is taking the Bureau of Labor Statistics next and you'll never have impartial economic data again. Keep your eye on the ball.

I think there's something comforting for liberals in the idea that if only the media would cover a given story, then all the things that they wish were not happening would stop happening. It just doesn't work that way. Media coverage can spur folks to action but it can't take action on its own.

Stating the obvious: tariffs are a regressive tax on the poorest Americans. A company pays the tariff, and raises their prices to get that money. That price is paid by the consumer. Duh

Summary of Trump’s first two weeks: Trump has thrown the federal government into chaos thus endangering your services and benefits; he’s pardoned violent criminals; he’s announced tariffs that will raise your prices; and he’s done nothing to help you and your family.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.
