Completely agree.

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

I really hope @timothysnyder.bsky.social is right.

There are 3 special elections coming up and those 3 seats are the keys to stopping the Congressional Republicans doing Trump & Musk’s evil bidding. We need just 1 seat to block them, 2 seats to stop them, and with all 3 we can FLIP THE HOUSE. Join us!! Monday 2/24 @7:30 EST. 👇👇 mobilize.us/s/Y9NrBb

Call your Reps.

I love and hate this at the same time.

To put it mildly, he is such a fucking weirdo.

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

Must read.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

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

FTW! Congratulations to both @muellershewrote.bsky.social and @meidastouch.com

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Trump looks weak and erratic—selling out to Russia, attacking Zelenskyy, and throwing workers under the bus. Markets are rattled, his approval is crashing, and his MAGA cronies are overstepping. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast live at 8p ET/5p PT!

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

NEW: Per this article, Ms. Sassoon chose to resign instead of being complicit in dropping the case against Eric Adams. Bravo to Ms. Sassoon for not bending the knee. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

In troubling times, people experiencing high stress or crippling anxiety deal with it in different ways. Some have a therapist, some have a deep breathing exercise & some even have a personal mantra. I have a Mabel.

The CFPB has returned $21 billion to 205 million consumers who were scammed at the hands of predatory banks. You can root out waste, fraud, and abuse... or you can eliminate the CFPB. But you can't do both.

Hegseth got heckled by what appeared to be military family members in Germany. Yelling"DEI!" at him as he arrived at the headquarters. This is unheard of and shows how angry many are with the anti-DEI push that's led to book bannings in DOD schools. I break it down! Subscribe! youtu.be/c7ky05dmQ2g

If you are looking for someone to say that all is lost and the courts can't help protect democracy, you are following the wrong guy. If you are looking for someone who fights hard and will never give up, I'm here for you.

i’m sorry but this guy is the most try hard pick me i’ve ever seen.

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202. I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

BREAKING: telephonic hearing 3pm ET today to begin work on our & partners TRO request regarding DOGE involvement inside the Treasury systems. Schedule will be discussed for expedited briefing on the TRO.

During my former life, I accepted being shot at, dodging IEDs and the occasional rocket…Let me tell you, waking up to yet another Fork in the Road email knowing it originated from a 19-y/o incel at the behest of an oligarch has me enraged like never before.

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

Elon Musk has seized control of computer systems that process trillions of dollars of payments and the private info of ALL Americans. Now he’s trying to shut down USAID. Congress must reassert its authority NOW and stop this coup. SIGN HERE if you want to stop Musk's illegal government takeover!👇

Shutting down the department of education was documented in project 2025

It wild to me that DOGE would actually send “contracts” with shoddy and suspect legal language to federal career attorneys that even non-lawyers would recognize as bullshit.

Rumors are flying that Musk and his DOGE dickheads have appeared at the Department of Veterans Affairs headquarters in DC. They are about to fuck 16 million veterans.

The Joker meets The Penguin 🃏 🐧

it “looks very much like the coup- is now succeeding, thanks to the fawning, yawning complicity of the supine media, timid Democratic leaders- & the obliviousness of an electorate apparently unbothered by the slow-motion destruction of their own democracy. www.thedailybeast.com/yes-its-a-co...

Since the FBI appears to be the only agency that is both still functioning and not headed by a lunatic, the Washington Field Office needs to open an investigation into the breach of the computer systems at Treasury, stat

Today, California honors Rosa Parks, a lifelong fighter for justice whose brave act of defiance sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott and helped power a civil rights movement. Her bravery inspires and fuels our commitment to fighting for equality and freedom for all.

I realize I'm not alone in this belief, but Rachel Maddow is one of the most impressive people I have ever seen.
