🗣️ @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.” 🇺🇸

The daily chaos we're seeing, planes dropping out of the sky and nuclear weapons officials being fired, measles outbreaks, is all on trump -- the guy who ran to be in fucking charge. There are unqualified people at every position he nominated, so things will get MUCH worse. We're only 28 days in.

This . . .😡

A CDC page that has been removed BUT offers key info on almost all vaccines:

I had measles. Many Boomers did. It’s dangerous. Please make sure your MMR vaccines are up to date

Americans will die.

West Texas measles outbreak doubles to 48 cases. Now that we've got an anti-vaxxer running America's health department, how do you think this is going to go? www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/h...

People will die.

Black History Month 💛

They painted over a sign at the FBI Academy that promoted integrity, respect, stability, leadership and cooperativeness. Everything the new administration eschews.

This is what Trump’s cruelty and chaos has unleashed.

The Trump purge continues. Trump administration officials are in the process of firing all FBI agents who were engaged in investigations involving Donald Trump. Officials acting at the direction of the administration are working to identify individual agents who worked 1600+ J6 cases and the…

🏆 Governor Pritzker- Illinois - has signed an order prohibiting all J6 rioters from state employment.

It's going exactly like we expected.

Former Secretary of Transportation--who was not on The Real World or Road Rules--weighs in on the President's efforts to blame the fatal air traffic accident on DEI.

I’ve been told that FEMA money can’t be authorized right now. Hurricane repairs, wildfire clean up, all stopped because of Puppet Trump’s war on America. When he said they’re stopping federal disbursements, that means FOR THE STUFF YOU CARE ABOUT! They’re stealing from YOU while they get RICHER!

🚨Sen. Blumenthal isn’t mincing words about the Trump administration canceling flights for Afghan refugees who were ALREADY CLEARED: "Our nation has a sacred promise that we've made to do right by the men and women who risk their lives for our freedoms and democracy and do right for their families."

We knew this was coming . . .

We're all assuming Kate McKinnon's gonna be back for the cold open this week, right? Also, if you're offended by a Bishop asking the second most powerful man in the country to be kind and show empathy to those with no power, you better not be calling yourself a Christian. Jesus would be disgusted.

ADM Fagan by all accounts was a very good head of the USCG, she just wouldn't take a loyalty oath to MAGA and they knew it. This firing is a shot across the bow to all generals and admirals that unless they pledge undying loyalty to Trump, they will be fired. MORE: news.usni.org/2025/01/21/a...

I have a feeling someone may need this today. This is a time that will try all our souls. We must let our friends & family know we see them, we value them & we will stand up to protect everyone’s right to be themselves.

Apropos of tomorrow and how we are seen abroad.

Exactly!

This is what matters Monday:

Well, shiver me timbers! I guess Democrats really DO control the weather! 😉🧊💙

Pass it on. Text your friends, family, and neighbors.

Sen. Slotkin asking Hegseth if there is ever an illegal order that could come from the Commander-in-Chief & if he’d refuse to comply, and Hegseth refuses to answer the question.

Duckworth: How many nations are in ASEAN? Hegseth: We have allies in South Korea, Japan, and Australia. Duckworth: None of those countries are in ASEAN. 🤦‍♀️

Sand blowing in the rain today.

Port St. Joe, Florida:

Me!

Mexico is sending its firefighters to California. Canada is sending its water-drenching planes. Trump is sending his stupid words.
