It is vital for people to cause good trouble, to poke the bear, to be courageous, to take on the powers that are now dominating America — especially now. I had the pleasure to speak about this on the Break Fake Rules podcast from the @stupskifoundation.bsky.social

Good. He should be terrified. He's actively trying to murder billions of people - how did he think that was going to work out for him?

It’s awesome that fraud is legal.

Outstanding ‼️

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I quit all other social media platforms & streamlined my media consumption in regards to who and what I allow the privilege of my time, energy, and money. My favorite part is the wave of DMs and group chats being switched over to OG texting. "Send me yo pic so I can update your contact in my texts"

Yep

Today, around ten thousand people gathered at Tesla showrooms across 50 states and internationally to protest Elon Musk (DOGE). We encourage everyone to join again next Saturday, March 8th, with more events planned.

Resist. Resist. Resist. "Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now If you hear the song I sing You will understand, listen You hold the key to love and fear All in your trembling hand Just one key unlocks them both It's there at your command"

The next step is to abolish SS entirely. Be prepared for the fallout of 1 in 5 USians who live on the fixed income of SSI or SSD no longer having that income to keep them housed, fed, and their utilities paid.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender. 📌They should STILL be talking now.

BREAKING: WHO BEARS THE MOST RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE OVAL OFFICE ARGUMENT? WITH 79,312 VOTES 👏

Zelenskyy: "It's not just that the war began somewhere between our countries. The war began when Russia brought this war to our country. They're not right. They didn't respect our territorial integrity. They brought the war to our families. Ukrainians want to hear a position of the US on our side"

Resist. Resist. Resist. Suddenly, waking up on some kind of Designated Survivor timeline would be a welcome disaster at this point...

NEW: During a 3-hour preliminary injunction hearing in a suit alleging that Elon Musk wields unprecedented power in violation of the Appointments Clause, a federal judge grew frustrated with government counsel's inability to answer questions about DOGE’s chain of command and Musk's role.

It really is reasonable to ask how we could possibly ever forgive our fellow Americans for voting for what is happening to us right now and what is going to continue to happen for years and years. I mean the simple answer would be... we just don't, right? Ever? Because some things are unforgivable?

BREAKING: A judge just ruled Trump’s mass firing of government workers was probably illegal and ordered the Office of Personnel Management to reverse it. The guy who cries about the “deep state” was illegally purging workers to stack the system for himself. thehill.com/regulation/c...

Quite the message from the guy running our government

Did you know? There’s a directory of Black farmers: “The Black Farmers Index.” Buy and uplift local. Many are small-scale specialists and located in urban areas. I found an organic resource in my area that I will definitely check out.

He's certainly screaming his fabricated version of reality into the echo chamber over there... Let's make sure we aren't doing the same here. Make sure that the media that you share is from sources that are honest, unbiased, forthcoming, and based on facts.

Gene Hackman was proud of the fact Richard Nixon put him on the "enemies" list and I think we can honor him and whatever joy his career has given you by living our lives in such a way that evil people know our names and think of us as enemies.

Nationalizing SpaceX and Starlink are going to be part of the conversation in any thinkable post Trump/Musk era. Democracies that become structurally dependent on infrastructures provided by unpredictable private actors are going to be weak democracies at best.

Parnell is just a sex pest who beats women and children, imagine if he had a substance abuse problem too

After years of criticizing psychiatry and the ways in which medicalization ignores racialization, poverty, multiple disabilities, exploitation, and a huge array of other social and cultural factors that complicate mental illness...we're watching the same language we developed weaponized against us.

A deadly mystery disease in Congo has killed 50+ people—half within 48 hours. Serious question: If a deadly virus hits our shores, how will we even know other than word-of-mouth? Trump pulled us from WHO, is gutting the CDC & put an antivaxxer who thinks WiFi causes “leaky brain” in charge of HHS.

Make a huge mistake. Then make a false claim about how you fixed it. They did it for PEPFAR. Now Ebola. I follow this particular topic VERY closely, so here's what really happened and why this isn't true AT ALL...🧵
