Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

church, as always

He nails it.

Germans have been subjected to covert Russian propaganda as well as overt American propaganda - jointly in support of the far-right www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/w...

How long until they realize FAFO

Did you know that 72 MILLION Americans rely on Medicaid for healthcare? The Trump Administration and MAGA Republicans in Congress want to take it away to give tax breaks to billionaires. Don't let them take away our healthcare. Let them know you didn’t vote for this shit.

With over ten years of service spanning five administrations, Amy Paris was dismissed on February 14, a casualty of tRump’s mass firings. “They said it was performance,” she explained. “I have clear proof I was one of the top performers in the entire federal government.” 19thnews.org/2025/02/amy-...

BREAKING: Donald Trump just fired General CQ Brown (left) and has replaced him with the less qualified Lt. General Dan Caine. DEI isn’t a problem if you’re white.

JUST HITTING THE DOCKET: SCOTUS rules that Hampton Dellinger, of the Office of Special Counsel, may remain in his job until February 26th. The case is on pause until 2/26 b/c there is a district court hearing on that date. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

This is General Charles Brown, Jr., Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (highest ranking military officer in the military). He spent an entire 30+ years of service to the U.S. in our defense. Donald Trump just fired him. This is unacceptable.

"This is something that does not belong to the president or the White House. It belongs to the American people.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

Trump and Hegseth’s Reckless Purge of Military Leadership Endangers National Security. Common Defense calls on Congress, military leaders, and every American who cares about democracy to speak out and stand against this dangerous coup in the making.

Jessica: There was a huge drop in support for President Trump and for Elon Musk. Trump’s approval rating is down 5-7 points across four of these big polls. He’s underwater on managing the economy by 8 points. Did you see those town halls? Rich McCormick were booing him.

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

you couldn't make the "brain on drugs" PSA today because the drugs are cheaper than the eggs

The truth 👇

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Perhaps the most shameful aspect of this moment in our country's history is the sheer cowardice of the GOP 👇 Read more here: bit.ly/41pxP3k #TraitorTrump

The media needs to stop using the phrase "Trump outlawed diversity programs" and just say it like it is: Trump legalized discrimination against women and POC.

I’m encouraged by these town halls but I also remember very clearly how this happened in 2017 as well. Instead of responding to the complaints, they stopped doing them. www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpo...

If someone wanted to destroy the United States from within, would they do anything differently than what Trump is doing right now?

We should all applaud Judge Ho’s appointment of former Bush SG Paul Clement to present a perspective distinct from those of the indicted NYC Mayor Eric Adams and the Trumpservient DOJ prosecutor Emil Bove. Well played! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/n...

This was published last October www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

it is shocking the extent to which they openly sneer at morality

free hint to blue state govs: automatically offer jobs in your own state's security services to the various cops, prosecutors and armed forces members that trump is unfairly drumming out. you will need people with guns who hate trump for what is coming next, and... there they are

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Send Dems into rural America to talk about what Trump is doing. The Republicans are too scared and won’t show their faces…in the vacuum of messaging, there is power. Tell the folks who is hurting them. Point to the GOP. Be the foil to the shit that’s happening. Be the party of the people.

Not an accident. Not a mistake.

If true then the US is now a genuine Russia-style mafia state. Russia extorts with energy-, the US with tech-dependence. I trust the conclusions we draw from this will also turn into a semblance of policy.

Some updates: 1. A federal judge extended a restraining order blocking the National Institutes of Health from cutting research funds until she rules on a permanent injunction. 2. The IRS will not allow a member of Elon Musk’s team to access individual tax returns.

Always stand up to a bully

The constant dynamic in Trump 1.0 was people in the admin telling Trump “you shouldn’t do that;” sometimes that was because it would be politically dicey, or illegal or violate vital norms. But sometimes it was just because it was a very very stupid idea that would blow up in everyone’s face.

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money, an EARNED benefit!

Democrats should go to all these ruby red and vulnerable GOP districts where voters are upset at Trump and Musk and court them. Full court press.

EVERY FUCKING WORD OF THIS! We have to take the gloves off! So listen up @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @democrats.org We are ready to fight! And if you fight, know that we will stand beside you every step of the way!

Donald Trump — The House resolution "implements my FULL America First Agenda, EVERYTHING, not just parts of it." The House plan slashes $880 billion from Medicaid—TRUMP OWNS THIS!!! Democrats need to speak out now—LOUDLY. Don’t Cut My Medicaid 📢

NOBODY VOTED FOR MUSK'S LITTLE INTERNET RANDOS, ANY NOBODY SHOULD ACCEPT WHAT THE FUCK THEY'RE DOING.

America, this is the psychopath that is running your country https://www.reddit.com/r/democrats/comments/1iv79x2/america_this_is_the_psychopath_that_is_running/ https://www.reddit.com/r/democrats/comments/1iv79x2/america_this_is_the_psychopath_that_is_running/

I wonder if CQ Brown was separated from his service (retirement) or put into a different role. I can't imagine being a 4-star General, having SCI clearance, knowing Trump's intel file and then being fired by a Putin stooge and just going quietly into the good night without saying a few words.

Constituent: When will you stand up to them and say that is enough? Rep. Fitzgerald: The end result of the fraud and abuse that has been discovered Crowd: Booo
