GOOD, do it. Go rogue. Go to other countries that can help you stop this dictatorship. HELP other countries trying to stop the far right (American instigated) in their own countries. You CAN do something. Do it.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Welcoming HUD to The Resistance.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Gov. Kathy Hochul clapped back at Pres. Donald Trump after his administration moved to claw back the congestion pricing system Wednesday. During her press conference Hochul said New York “is not subservient to a king — or anyone else in Washington.” www.thecity.nyc/2025/02/19/c...

Totally normal and acceptable stuff from non-racist conservatives:

NEW: Hampton Dellinger has filed his brief in the Supreme Court opposing the Trump Administration's effort to have him removed in violation of federal law. Visit www.democracydocket.com to stay informed what is happening to democracy in court.

#USDemocracy A chilling account about ICE enforcement in Tucson, AZ. The threats by the officers terrified a mother & 2 kids as they shipped them to Mexico without allowing her to contact her spouse & other children. It reads like a horror story. Because it is. share.newsbreak.com/bl03s0sv

Elon Musk's DOGE website promised "receipts" for the savings DOGE has secured "no later than Valentine's Day." The Saturday after Valentine's Day, there was a new message: "Receipts coming over the weekend!" The weekend is over. Still no receipts. muskwatch.com/subscribe

Dismantling OSHA, the folks who look out for blue collar workers when their bosses try to kill them, is insane. My 1st husband was killed in a work-related accident. OSHA immediately found gross negligence and was by my side for two years. 🙏🏽 Brian & I were only married 11 months… +…

NYC Mayor Eric Adams debuts his new look.

In addition to being civic degenerates these people are in every case infantile, sloppy and incompetent. Grand flourishes of performative cruelty followed by entitled pleas of "I don't know how to do this. Can you help?"

These lines in Sassoon's letter to the U.S. Attorney General could provide a solid basis for NY Governor Kathy Hochul to remove Mayor Adams from office.

In addition to being brave and the right thing to do, Sassoon’s letter points out that the Emperor has no clothes — it demolishes the utterly fatuous, transparently corrupt excuses for dismissing the Adams case.

Of course the Democrats will be going to Houston to find and interview voters who were laid off , to ask them what their expectations of the new administration were and how they feel they are doing at the moment. And posting here and everywhere. Right ?

I love this

You cannot make this up. DOGE's crusade isn't about government efficiency. It's about making Elon Musk richer at your expense.

The millions in USAID food is STILL sitting at the Port of Houston. Trump fired the watchdogs reporting on this story, he doesn’t want Americans to see this debacle. Wasting millions on food already purchased is the epitome of wealthy entitlement #Voices4Victory www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/usa...

🆘 Staffers at the nation’s cybersecurity agency whose job is to ensure the security of U.S. elections have been placed on administrative leave. And this is why he told maga they’ll never have to vote again! abcnews.go.com/Politics/wir...

CUZ THAT'S WHAT DICTATOR'S DO BUT WHERE DO THE PALESTINIANS GO JORDAN says they will take. 2K Palestinian children who are sick or suffering cancer There are 1 million Palestinians without homes Jordan has 2 million Egypt has not weighed in As tRump threatens to cut off aid (nbcnews)

is the goal merit or is the goal segregation?

The network access went from: Thursday: Read only Friday: Admin access Saturday: Internal systems Now, the agency is effectively gone.

So proud of our Democratic members of Congress, right now! They’re being blocked from the Dept. of Education—and they’re not having it. Seeing Auntie Maxine ready to fight for our kids warms my soul. She hasn’t changed. Waters isn’t my congresswoman, but we love her in this house!

Sincere props to a colleague who very obviously is doing his job well.

There it is

I'm not a religious person. But we should probably all bow our heads and join in. #SheShed #Voices4Victory #wtpBLUE

Day #17. Equality Matters #proudblue Those that don't want to follow fairness, justice, and democracy.... shut down what they are trying to hide! gizmodo.com/elon-musks-e...

Senator Mitch McConnell, 82, fell down the stairs in the Senate and sustained injuries. Are Republicans calling for term limits or ignoring it like they did when Virginia Foxx fell down the stairs too (although they did screech when Nancy Pelosi fell).

Musk and Trump "have tried to intimidate workers out of communicating with reporters, only to see the leaks continue unabated."

MAGA isn't worried about incompetence; if they were Trump and most of his minions would never be allowed anywhere near governing. They use DEI as a slur for women, POC, LGBTQIA and everyone else they think have no right to exist. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Already they have given them $7 million?!!?? To “save” money? Fuck that!

Dems are introducing legislation to prevent unlawful access to the Dept. of Treasury and 20 lawsuits have already been filed challenging 11 executive orders. LFG!

What this long and detailed NYT piece calmly calls an “extraordinary flexing of power by a private individual” is in fact a blatantly unconstitutional usurpation of Congress’s Article I powers and delegation of the President’s Article II duties. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

🚨Joint letter to Congress signed by former FBI & CIA Director Judge William Webster, the FBI Agents Association & other FBI law enforcement groups warning: this is political retaliation that threatens national security.

It’s back… The quid pro quo and Ukraine.

NEW: Mexico, Canada, and China cutoff Elon Musk’s supply of ketamine.

"Direct File is a historic new IRS service that allows eligible taxpayers to prepare and file their tax return online, for free, including access to help from dedicated IRS Direct File customer support representatives." Great program. Musk claims he ended it. www.rawstory.com/elon-musk-ir...

WIRED is tracking numerous reports of Musk-related shenanigans across the federal govt. We're looking for fed employees open to discussing the activity they're seeing or to help confirm other reports. Anonymity offered. Please use @signal.org (contact dell.3030). Do not use work networks/devices.

What if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it?

"The White House neglected to mention that the new president agreed to stop U.S. guns crossing the border, CNBC confirmed."

What a nightmare. The crashed plane is reported to be an air ambulance—and multiple homes and cars are said to be on fire on the ground. (This is in NE Philly, near the Roosevelt Mall.)

Jo Ellis, a transgender helicopter pilot in the Virginia Army National Guard, was falsely identified as the captain of the crashed Black Hawk helicopter in thousands of social media posts this week.
