Disagree with most MAGA and Project 2025 goals and with most of trump's actions that are tearing the US government apart. We're in the middle of a coup. Sorry, no DMs.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

We must get in front of trump's bulldozer. It will be costly.

Brits don’t sugarcoat 🤣

trump's record as a deficit-reducer is weak: his last year in office ran a huge deficit, and helped fuel "Biden's" inflation. trump spends a lot to buy votes.

I wish we could make trump write this on the blackboard 100 times. The trouble is, trump would like to do this stuff, if he could get away with it. That's what is behind his admiration for Putin.

Here's the problem: courts are running far behind trump. And their restraints are temporary, so far. trump's anti-DEI campaign is already far along. Resistance must become proactive! apnews.com/article/dei-...

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

Some Republicans are expressing their objections to rump's actions. We need all the help we can get to resist trump. abcnews.go.com/Politics/rep...

They are preparing for a police state and to make sure that no cops are held accountable for illegal actions.

If you have investments, you might consider moving them out of the market to help this trend along.

I predict it will get worse.

Lots to watch... will DOGE fix this? www.stripes.com/branches/nav...

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Dow is (a bit) lower than when Biden left office. (Sorry the plot is cut off. On 1/21/25, Dow was 44156.73. Dow closed at 43,428.02 on 2/21/25, up 2% from yesterday. I predict things will get worse.

trump wants a compliant military. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

As far as I can tell, @drneuro.bsky.social‬ is real. Verified: "around 1,270 probationary workers were slated to be let go" - cbsnews www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-dis...

Is the GOP-proposed budget trying to cut Medicaid? Murky. www.newsweek.com/fact-check-d...

Who should we believe? I trust WP, CNN more than any trump official. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/b...

Too bad trump and musk are killing medical research.

If you post or repost gAI imagery, I will unfollow you. It is anti-human anti-environment and pro-oligarchy. We need to do far better.

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

Well said.

Correction on one point: I think the mental diagnosis of trump and musk is "sane". I'll try not to use "insane", even though I consider their politics to be harmful and irrational. I think this is a real clip showing both men speaking English. duckduckgo.com?q=fox+news+t...

I think there really are some AI fakes of trump and musk running around. Here's a snatch from the WP. Both men are speaking English and making sense. (This doesn't mean I agree with what they are doing!) www.washingtonpost.com/video/politi...

This has to be AI generated, right? No president could be this stupid.

That's some help. But it assumes business as usual. Is that where we are today?
