For those at the back…

The most effective way we will get their attention is economic protest. Let’s hurt their bottom line. Time to educate ourselves and proceed accordingly!

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...

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

Trump is letting Elon Musk into Fort Knox to "check on" our gold. It's a heist, folks.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov speech. One thing that resonated with me is that after we discriminated against deported immigrants, LGBTQ Comm, the disabled, women and minorities, once we betrayed our friends and neighbors after that when the problems are still there, then what comes next?

You know this is 100% going to happen…

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Like, call them a dick in congressional hearings and stuff like that. #thedickelonmusk

US Senator Roger Wicker, head of the US Senate Committee on Armed Services, commented on the talks with Putin: "No, Putin cannot be trusted. Putin is a war criminal and should be in jail for the rest of his life, if not executed."

💯

“We salute and admire the courage many of you have already exhibited and that will guide all of you as you continue to serve the interests of justice. You’ve responded to ethical challenges of a type no public servant should ever be forced to confront..."

Can you imagine?

We must see this for what it is. The US is no longer the leader of the free world. Europe knows they are on their own now. Republicans are to blame for allowing this to happen. What the hell does Putin have on Trump? How fuckin bad it must be.

The director of the FDA’s food division resigned on Monday, saying the loss of critical employees made his work impossible. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Trump’s new health secretary, has pledged to gut the division.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The natural comparison here is Benghazi But-as a foreign policy misstep-this is MUCH worse Because whereas the mission in Benghazi was attacked The Kinshasa looting was a self-inflicted wound which happened only because of Trump and Elon's arrogance

Imagine if the media pointed out there was already a Government Accountability Office whose job it is to go after actual waste and fraud, not just things Elon doesn’t like, and found $70 Billion in savings last year and $2 Trillion in waste since 2003. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governm...

Are people finally waking up? The real fight isn’t about bathrooms or drag queens—it’s about who holds power & at whose expense. Culture war is just a distraction, keeping working people too busy fighting each other rather than noticing who’s actually robbing us blind: billionaires—not each other!

Correct. This is a President of the United States declaring himself a dictator. And instead of Americans understanding that we’re now under imminent threat of martial law and tyranny, we’ll get a month of think pieces about what the President of the United States meant by his UNAMBIGUOUS statement.

This is probably the most accurate take.

Reminder that everything Trump and Musk is doing is a distraction from the Tax Scam and cuts they are actually going to make, which will be on the back of the American people.

What a ridiculous time we live in.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

More of this, please!

Chris Murphy: "I think this is the most serious constitutional crisis the country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president is attempting to seize control of power, and for corrupt purposes ... he's trying to crush his opposition ... this is a red alert moment ... our democracy is at risk"

Trump’s attack on USAID isn’t just reckless—it’s a direct hit to our national security. Diplomacy & development keep us safe, grow our economy, and prevent conflict. Gut them, and we hand power to adversaries while putting Troops at risk. Sen. Andy Kim breaks it down.

There are 6 elements to disinformation. Actors, incentives, narrative, targeted audience, targeted channel, and exploitation. Pre-bunking the narrative has efficacy. However, it presumably has more if it also explains incentives and exploitation harms. m.youtube.com/watch?v=NhAz...
