This article is very important for what the writer says about what we are all going to be called to do to get free of this fascist coup and what Dem senators and congresspeople should be doing that they are not doing: wagingnonviolence.org/ipra/2025/02...

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Madison area friends, Here’s hoping you can come out for this event. www.wisconsinacademy.org/evenings/poe...

Chicago Friends, Here is hoping that you will come out for this event on February 28 at 7 PM. Would love to see you! pilsencommunitybooks.com/events/45110

Elon Musk’s staffers are still attempting to manipulate the Treasury payment system to halt the flow of funds following their recent losses. Reminder: U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has restricted DOGE’s read-only access. No one is above the law.

Let’s be clear 👇🏼

For Reals

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.

Dan Vera’s powerful poem!

Spot on from @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Think firing the entire federal workforce will save America money? Federal civilian employees account for just 4% of the federal budget. Even if someone like Musk—or any president—fired all of us, it wouldn’t make much of a dent in government spending. Don’t fall for it.

Senate Dems still don't get it. 22 just YES on another Trump nominee. Where TF is the fight? Bennet, Blumenthal, Cortez Masto, Durbin, Fetterman, Gallego, Gillibrand, Hassan, Heinrich, Hickenlooper, Kaine, Kelly, Klobuchar, Luján, Ossoff, Peters, Rosen, Schiff, Shaheen, Slotkin, Warnock, Welch.

STUDENT WALK OUT- OUTSIDE LOS ANGELES CITY HALL: High school students from all over LA have walked out of class and gathered in front of city hall to protest the president’s fascist agenda. SOLIDARITY WITH THE YOUTH! FUCK ICE!

Elon Musk’s agenda takes aim at all of us including those who voted for Trump. Right now there are thousands of angry people as far as the eye can see at the treasury wondering who the hell elected Musk President?

Every single one of them deserves PRISON.

Maybe the cult members would have understood it if we had put it this way.

Please. Do something.

Russell Vought would have immense power to enforce Trump’s extremist agenda if he's confirmed as OMB director. Vought has made it clear he will not hesitate to violate laws and norms in service of MAGA. app.sosha.ai/s/bLDd2IIM

Trump wants to put a Putin-apologist in charge of safeguarding our national security. I just contacted my senators and told them to vote NO on Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence. app.sosha.ai/s/ioz1lfrm

The HHS protects our lives with programs that depend on scientific research and proven health solutions. RFK Jr. can't be trusted to lead an agency so vital to our health and safety. Make sure your senators hear from you. app.sosha.ai/s/rGZhxOWm
