How big of a margin is President Musk gifting his Nazi friends in Germany's election today via his Tsarlink election-hacking program?

Brace yourself.

"This kind of politics is not sufficient to reverse the fascist trend in America, but it is an irreplaceable part of any effort to try."

It's admittedly windy here (was very windy overnight) and we're a wee country on the edge of a vast ocean. But this is the kind of renewable energy Trump is taking away from Americans now.

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

How many Park Ranger salaries could this have paid for? lhttps://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-kristi-noem-200-million-dhs-ad-campaign-thanks-president-1235276324/

I’m sure Trump & Musk will condemn Putin for this since they claim to care so much about peace and the Ukrainian people.

The way predatory people like Musk operate is they get their foot in the door incrementally. Just comply with my email, what’s so hard about that? Then when people give in because they don’t want a hassle, he owns you. Then he comes back next time demanding something much worse.

Janet Mills was elected the first woman DA in ME history. Elected 1st woman AG in ME. Won election to state House, reelected 3x. Then 1st woman Gov - won by 20 points. Then reelected in 2022 by 13 points. In other words, far more popular in ME than Trump will ever be.

Not the white man for the moment. bsky.app/profile/atru...

She’s very concerned now. Won’t do anything about it as usual, but very concerned.

Im tired of being told can’t we all just get along If you feel children shouldn't be fed the poor shouldn't be housed, the sick shouldn't be cared for, that women shouldn't control their bodies, that Americans can't marry who they love or that certain people shouldn't exist We are not getting along

Himes: "It just looks like an episode of The Sopranos. 'Give us your minerals or we're not gonna help you fight a bloody butcher.' I mean, is this really we want the greatest country in history to be known for -- some mafia thing? ... this president is standing with the bad guy"

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social why are you not posting on here first ? You have some great things to say. You are trying some great things. Yet you post on X where 100pct of the replies are meaningless and hateful. It's not all roses here, but the engagement has depth and real convos happen

PIERS: “How could Zelensky have an election in the middle of a war?” TUCKER: “How did FDR?” PIERS: “Nobody had invaded America.” 🎯 (Reminder — Not holding elections during wartime is not new: www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrain...)

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

📌Our Park Service Rangers have flagged the warning on El Capitan. We are under threat by an America-attacking felon.

“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. Government failure, stock market crash, and dictatorial alliances are not popular.” — Timothy Snyder

Yesterday domestic terrorists attempted to intimidate me and Michael Fanone (imagine that 🙄) Longer video coming soon. Heading back out to go inspire and get in good trouble. 🫶🏽✌🏽

Remember, to get good at doing things outside of your comfort zone, you have to be doing things outside of your comfort zone. Practice makes...better defenders of democracy.

Do this. Say this. 👇🏻

Tom Homan is publicly threatening the City of Boston. He says he will rain hellfire on it. It sure worked out well the *last* time an authoritarian government threatened Boston.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

OPMs email servers trying to hold back all the external troll emails they’re getting in response to DOGE.

They want us to be afraid. They want us to hesitate. They want us to fear their next move. Fuck that shit. We are just getting started fighting.

It's never good when the richest person in the world and the worst person in the world are the same person.

A really important email from my friend Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social . As he says "this is a 5 alarm fire." America is under attack right now.

Dropping all current research and losing the data and findings forever. Cutting Alzheimer’s research? You have to ask how could anyone support this. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

Something's definitely happening - hundreds of people showed up in Mount Kisco, a small town in northern Westchester County NY, to protest a Tesla dealership. Musk is now hated on a broad cultural level. youtu.be/w21TLQOIThk?...

Hilarious. After the DOGErs set up the new government-wide all employee email system in late January OPM, where it is housed, sent out an advisory which states explicitly that no employee ever has to respond to any of the emails. See 4.2 and 4.3. www.opm.gov/media/kfpozk...

I love Claudia!!! Mexico is a beautiful country with great culture — much better than this maga shithole King Musk-Trump is creating.

As Elon demands justifications from all federal workers (including many who are not Executive Branch employees), remember that if he paid his taxes, it'd pay for 677K federal jobs.

Chris Murphy: "This deal that Donald Trump just cut with the mayor of New York -- it's a big deal ... they did that out in the open on TV because it's a signal to everybody else out there that the law will be applied differently to you if you are loyal to the president."

The final sign of a cult! Still following when the leader tells you to get fucked!

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

If you are a teacher in America and you have options ... TAKE THEM Staying in the role and capitulating to the fascists is your worst choice, and the "choice of last resort". It is NOT a betrayal of your profession. MAGA has already DONE that.
