I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Chris Kluwe. Protect him.

The Pentagon is now pausing their mass firing of civilian employees in order to evaluate potential impacts on military readiness. I’m just spitballing here, but maybe a readiness assessment should have been the first step. 🤦‍♂️

Illinois Governor Pritzker: "If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it."

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

CARVILLE: “More deficit accumulated under Trump than any president… Trump’s approval rating lowest at this point in his presidency ever… GOP supports Putin, wants to get rid of Medicaid & Medicare…” James Carville exposed Hannity’s audience to some facts 👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGUcU1c...

This will especially hurt rural folks

The Trump presidency is a threat to the well being of the American people.

💰PRO PUBLICA: “While Musk and his underlings demand budget cuts and layoffs across the federal government, funding for DOGE has soared to nearly $40 million…” www.propublica.org/article/doge...

This is an excellent template and should be disseminated widely

Good luck after the next disaster. Government looking out for you. Not. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/c...

This. When you support a king, you make yourself a beggar.

DOGE is gaining total control over key government computer systems—and there may be no way to wrest it back, @cwarzel.bsky.social, @ibogost.bsky.social, and @matteowong.bsky.social write.

Chris Murphy: "This deal that Donald Trump just cut with the mayor of New York -- it's a big deal ... they did that out in the open on TV because it's a signal to everybody else out there that the law will be applied differently to you if you are loyal to the president."

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Over 120,000 Japanese Americans forced into imprisonment in internment camps simply because they were of Japanese heritage.

This is correct.

The Trump administration is fully engaged in a drive to eliminate virtually any government activity or mention related to climate change—with a few notable exceptions, @zoeschlanger.bsky.social reports:

Current American foreign policy is about draining power from the US and its allies, thereby creating atmospherics in which Donald Trump feels good and Elon Musk converts lost state capacity into personal profit. The weakness, in other words, is the point. snyder.substack.com/p/affirmativ...

Trump likes being #2, he likes doing the PR work, being in front of the camera, getting the adulation, but serving the boss. Musk will dominate him at home and Putin will dominate him abroad. He will deliver their lines, as he has just done for Putin in shocking fashion, and does for Musk every day.

As the billionaires and their puppets scream “cut cut cut” — behind the numbers are Americans with lives and families.

What are we waiting for?

Social Security is being threatened by DOGE DOGE is illegal MUSK is illegal It’s a COUP Keep reposting this

These are the kinds of stories about the human costs of the Trump-Musk coup that desperately need telling right now. Local news outlets and independent journalists can do a lot of important work here, for their own communities but also for the national effort to push back against this insanity.

It seems to me that if Musk has proof that millions of social security checks have gone out illegally to dead people, he should be presenting that evidence in front of a grand jury under oath tomorrow instead of shitposting it on social media. When can we do this under oath?

The world’s richest man is trying to buy elections around the country while also while wielding unprecedented authority to fire thousands of government employees, unilaterally dictate federal spending, and bring in his own companies to remake vast swaths of the federal government.

HOLY SHIT you guys, check out this AMAZING song, Hostile Government Takeover, by @agiftfromtodd! He's singing truth, and this tune slaps. Give it a listen and repost to share.🙏💪
