Leaders of the free world stand united in London The United States is not among them

Australian newspaper "The Sun-Herald" opinion piece calls it out. American msm, take notes.

Now THIS is true leadership on the world stage. In stark contrast to the weak, ignorant clown we currently have in the White House. #SlavaUkraini 🇬🇧 🇺🇦

Looking beautiful Time Square. 🇺🇦

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there. The show must go on.

Russia and China, have ramped up recruitment efforts targeting US federal employees—particularly those recently fired or at risk of termination. These efforts are unfolding aggressively on LinkedIn, where adversaries are reaching out under the guise of job opportunities, networking, and consulting.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer: We stand with #Ukraine for as long as it may take, and I hope you heard that cheering in the street - the people of the United Kingdom coming out to demonstrate how much they support you and Ukraine,and our absolute,unwavering determination to stand with you ⤵️ 1/2

Featured post: “All in all, this concept is so bad that it has an excellent chance of passing the Legislature. Much as we would like to help the rest of the nation by demonstrating once more just how stupid ideas work out in practice, couldn’t we give this one a miss?”

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

The People's Union USA, a grassroots group, is calling on Americans to join a national boycott by not shopping for 24 hours on Friday.

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities. That means: 🚫 No gas from corporate giants 🚫 No fast food chains 🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

"'When we saw that the police wasn’t helping us, every able-bodied man in the neighborhood, with or without a gun, has stood guard and has been standing guard ever since,' said Dominic Brewton Jr., who runs a maintenance and repair company in the town..." www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

This is what a deal with the devil looks like👇 @housegop.bsky.social JUST VOTED TO CUT Medicaid, SNAP benefits, school meals, & housing assistance all in exchange for giving corporations & billionaires a tax cut all at the  expense of the middle class.

I have decided to cancel my show at The Kennedy Center on May 11, 2025 and move it to The Anthem.

BREAKING: Judge in our Treasury case vs. DOGE just raised profound "concerns about constitutionality of DOGE"! She follows Judge Chutkan who also raised questions last week We @sddaction.bsky.social will be in Md. Fed. Ct. Friday in our appointments clause case to prove DOGE is unconstitutional

With love to all the government workers - federal, tribal, state, county, and city - who are still on the line. We need you. Thank you. Sleep well, America. #RadioFreeAmerica youtu.be/QutLsCCY2yw?...

We can march, boycott, and post on social media til the cows come home. All good. But I’m a firm believer in “all politics is local”. Republicans have taken advantage of this for years. Hopefully, our younger people will be inspired to make a difference at this level, too.

Federal workers launch a new site to share inside information about DOGE

Today I honor the late great Congressman John R. Lewis on what would have been his 85th birthday. If folks know about my clapbacks, understand this is my version of “Good Trouble.”

JB Pritzer tells it like it is. "We don't have kings in America, and I don't intend to bend the knee to one."

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Trump is right to say Russia’s war against Ukraine “never should have started”—but the blame for it lies entirely with Putin, not with Ukraine and Zelensky, writes David J. Kramer.

Presidents are not kings Presidents are not kings Presidents are not kings Presidents are not kings Presidents are not kings

DOGE: Diabolical Oligarchs Gaslighting Everyone

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." As the foundation of #democracy in America crumbles and the vulnerable are under attack from a rogue administration, we, the people, are asking our former presidents to "Say something!”

More and more scientists are joining the ranks of fired federal workers—and fighting back through protests, appeals, and legal challenges.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.
