After the election, I couldn't go back to Twitter (X), so after a week or so, I signed out, leaving Resisters I will miss and hope to see here. Bluesky is a new beginning for all of us! Let's do our best and do it together. P.S. This is NOT a dating site.

Tax the rich Stop subsidizing the rich Raise the minimum wage

Never forget.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Kudos to Sen. Tillis! 'Horrified': MSNBC host claims Trump has set off frantic 'whispering in the GOP cloakroom' www.rawstory.com/trump-putin-...

Critics warn Trump’s latest order 'should concern you more than any so far' www.rawstory.com/trump-execut... TOTALLY UNBELIEVABLE THIS IS MUDORO, ORBAN, PUTIN and that fat little toad in North korea...just off your burkas girls.

At some point I am expecting trump to declare martial law . Time will tell if I am wrong

Fuck him. He is selling us out and breaking America from the inside. All for the benefit of our biggest adversary Russia. I wonder how much of the data DOGE is stealing is going there.

Everyone has things in their career of which they're ashamed. Nothing...and I mean nothing...in my career in politics makes me more ashamed and regretful than supporting and promoting Marco Rubio. He is the most craven betrayer of his stated ideals of any human I've ever met.

Ok that made me laugh

Are there any areas he is NOT taking over and trashing?? 'There are limits': Billions at stake as farmers hit on all sides by Trump policies www.alternet.org/trump-screws...

Thread 🧵🧵🧵 No, this is an obscene abuse if power and it must NOT stand. This abuse of power is that of a psychopath, for one. Secondly, how is it this press pool finds it acceptable to simply repeat what the psychopath states & define it as news?

Stephen Miller just said on CNN that DOGE staff are employees of the government and are properly authorized. Where is there oath of office and background investigation?

He would certainly know! After claiming remote workers are actually golfing, Trump again hits the links in Florida: “Nobody’s going to work from a home. They’re going to be going out. They’re going to play golf. They’re going to do a lot of things. They’re not working.” www.cnn.com/2025/02/18/p...

He can’t finish a sentence…but AOC is dumb. This administration is the most inarticulate collection of old white men ever assembled.

Absolutely!! No oversight; no controls...and then give the swells another tax cut.

While the narrative is mainly an "unelected billionaire" private citizen shouldn't have our personal data. In reality, NO-ONE may have control over a personal data, even IRS staffers just do administrative work. If he's the head of DOGE or he isn't, it doesn't fucking matter it's still illegal.

Unbelievable!!! 'Good luck with that': CNN made FOIA request about DOGE only to learn FOIA staff was fired www.alternet.org/cnn-foia-req...

Bird Flu is spreading across the nation and putting the country in danger. The Trump administration response is to fire USDA microbiologists fighting the disease. We are using every tool available to us to stop them.

I went to Apple Maps to look for "Gulf of Mexico" and it has been changed. It is now listed first and "Gulf of America" is listed next in parenthesis. Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America) Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America) FL United States

I'll buy that.

www.nytimes.com/2025/02/16/u... So the democratic financial support is afraid. Some of them are asking for a plan. Watching Jeffrey's on media, there is no plan. AOC for leadership.

Even CNN is clowning on Chuck Schumer's pathetic "we will win!" chant lol

True story.

Trump bought another ‘Beauty Pageant.’

MAGA acts like finding fraud in government is some new thing DOGE invented. They aren’t good at it, but experts who were let go were.

He won't be missed! DeJoy announces plans to step down as USPS postmaster general: USPS is about midway through DeJoy’s 10-year reform plan. The agency has yet to reach its “break-even” financial targets, but reported rare net profit for 1st Q fiscal 2025. federalnewsnetwork.com/people/2025/...

NYC Mayor Eric Adams debuts his new look.

This is just the beginning too: 'I feel so stupid': These 'horrified' Trump voters are having serious buyer’s remorse: A voter told WSJ, "I feel so stupid, guilty, regretful — embarrassed is a huge one. I am absolutely embarrassed that I voted for Trump." www.alternet.org/wsj-2024-tru...

Missiles on Monday afternoon. Air raid alert in Kyiv. I don't know what kind of 'peace' is considering now, but missiles are not doves of peace as well, right?

"Europe must prepare for war" Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, retired commanding general of US Army Europe talks to Jonathan Fink from Silicon Curtain about the changes Europe must make & the peril that may lie ahead if it doesn't. @general-ben.bsky.social @siliconcurtain.bsky.social youtu.be/b6ztuutAg7E

Trump's USDA Secretary eyes payments to farmers to cover trade losses from tariffs: His tariffs on Chinese imports in 1st term resulted in retaliatory tariffs on soybeans. The administration ended up paying billions to farmers to offset losses. And here we are again! www.msn.com/en-my/news/u...

The recent full moon over the pyramids

Money talks

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

It's the only thing he knows how to do: Trump begins firing air traffic control staff amid 7 plane crashes www.rawstory.com/trump-fires-...

Education matters

Christian Nationalist are about as unchristian as you can get. They are anti everything Jesus represented. They’re obviously following the Antichrist.
