In the #MurdochJournal dictionary, the anger and resistance of citizens is "testy" and the fascism of the king they created is "bold."

Russia must lose. Ukraine must win.

This is sick.

None of these actions are making us any safer

ProPublica is recording the casualties of the DOGE purge, highlighting the scale of what is being lost as public health programs and seasoned experts are caught in the Trump administration’s blunt-force drive to shrink the federal government.

Powerful, spot-on, and brilliant. I loved it when Noel Casler described the fatuous Florida fraud Ron DeSantis as "a greasy Icarus who flew too close to the sun." His description of the porcine puppet of Putin as a "french-fried fascist" is perfect. Casler has the traitorous tangerine tyrant nailed.

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

Black History reminds me of the people having to run, leaving everything behind in order to protect themselves and their families. With Trump’s eagerness to fire the people who protect us and therefore putting our lives and country at risk. We stand we fight. We’re not running this time.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Such hostile nonsense from Americans in power just now. I wish we would listen to people who have suffered for reporting the truth, like Stanislav Aseyev, combat veteran and survivor of a Russian torture camp.

Elon Musk proposed closing Radio Liberty. Well, as a person who was thrown into a concentration camp and put through torture because of my writing for Radio Liberty, I can say that Europe is far from free. The work of the Ukrainian bureau of Radio Liberty is one of the main elements of ... 1/2

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)

George Washington sold men he enslaved to the West Indies for punishment. Given the harsh treatment of enslaved people there – it was a death sentence (and he knew it)

200 million dollars of waste.

Trump military purge. Any Congressional Democrats telling themselves they can sit back and wait for Republicans to tank the midterms are delusional. We need full opposition mode, including supporting mass rallies and direct action. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

So even more blackmail from russian states of America. Not surprised at all.

🔴Donald Trump Was Recruited by the KGB Under Codename ‘Krasnov’ Claims Former Soviet Spy Chief A former senior KGB chief claims Trump was recruited in 1987 due to his role as a prominent US businessman bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

Why is it that New York Times columnists like Kristof never seem to write earnest pieces urging MAGA to read books that explain why we hate fascism?

All while Trump and Musk are slashing funding to programs like Meals on Wheels & cancer research in the name of “efficiency”… This isn’t efficiency, it’s a cash grab. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-kristi-noem-200-million-dhs-ad-campaign-thanks-president-1235276324/

Since Trump fired him for being black yesterday, today's Black History Month lesson is US Air Force General Charles Q. Brown. Before he was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he was the first black Chief of Staff for the Air Force. www.af.mil/About-Us/Bio...
