Listening to this convicted felon speak in such an ugly way & THREATEN a state governor & the U.S. citizens who live in her state for confirming she will follow the state & federal laws should make our blood run cold.

The other 6 who were NOT fired are all white men.

The rate of descent into lawlessness in the United States continues to accelerate. Until that descent is arrested, and we can assess what institutions still hold, the country and its citizens are fundmantally unsafe.

www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2PVnyLj/ Every word. She told us all. She warned everybody!! But racism and sexism make people STUPID AF. They defended that asshole and swore we were exaggerating or lying. But lying to dupe the stupid is NOT a Dem game. It’s a GOP game and it ALWAYS works. Always

This has no purpose other than to break our national capacity for public health & outbreak response by the most cruel, insulting, & inhumane means available. To all my colleagues: I don't believe these claims. Thank you for your public service. To DOGE: Fuck you for your public disservice.

I said what I said.

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

The danger of private interests capturing our political system has never been more apparent. Here's what we can do about it:

Can we get a recount? Pick your battles Can we object to electors under 14.3? Pick your battles Can we vote against Rubio for SoS? Pick your battles Demand volume II of the report? Pick your battles Call for SCOTUS expansion? Pick your battles Okay but could you pick like ONE battle? ANY battle?

This is bone-chilling Iron Curtain stuff. We are less free since last week. “Across govt agencies, workers eyed one another nervously, wondering whether a colleague would report them,accusing them of resisting the new administration’s move to end certain programs.” www.nytimes.com/2025/01/25/u...

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

3 wks of Trump regime: - Violated the Constitution - Broke Rule of Law - Surrendered to Putin - Cut off treatment for kids sick w/cancer - Cut care for Veterans - Drunk abuser in charge of defense - Russian asset in charge of intelligence - paranoid conspiracist in charge of FBI Price of eggs…?!

Elon Musk’s AI Bot Grok Finds Over Half of His Tweets ‘False or Misleading’, Disses Him as ‘A Mogul With A Microphone’ www.mediaite.com/online/elon-...

Bannon is wrong. Sadly, men like Trump come along all too often. History is full of petty, tyrants, madmen, entitled, elites, religious zealots, ignorant ideologus, hucksters, conmen & delusional dictators. It’s the honorable men & women w/ character, vision & intelligence, who serve the world well.

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

This is happening in the middle of a measles outbreak in Texas; in one of the worst flu seasons in 15 years; as Covid cases across the US rise again; & as avian influenza decimates flocks around the world. The Trump regime does NOT care about you or the health of this nation. Call your congressmen!

The king has lost his crown.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

This is so disgusting. And I hate to tell ya, but they look forward to many more savings… and if you aren’t taking precautions, you’re going to help them.

Keep this in mind as the GOP, Trump and Musk continue to talk about the “insolvency” of Social Security and push to cut or abolish it! fortune.com/2025/02/19/a...

I want every Democrat to sound like this. Meanwhile I'm listening to the sounds of (congressional) silence.
