And u make me sick!

It needs to be more plainly stated that Russia's goals are to destroy the West, including the U.S., that Donald Trump and JD Vance, as recipients of intelligence reports, are perfectly aware that these are Russia's goals, & that Trump and Vance are doing what they are doing w/ this knowledge in hand

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

Somehow, dress codes weren't an issue until now.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022.  The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion.  Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

I'm struggling to get over what we saw today. The amount of gaslighting, cruelty, ignorance, abject cowardice, arrogance, indifference to human life, and deceit we saw from Trump and Vance...we saw behavior we associate with enemies of the United States inside the Oval Office. That's traumatizing.

Donald Trump has betrayed America. If you couldn’t see it before, you just saw it today.

Since I offered you 10 reasons for modest optimism last week, discontent with the Trump-Musk regime has surged even further. America appears to be waking up. Here’s the latest evidence — 10 more reasons for modest optimism. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/more-reasons-for-moderate-optimism

Im sorry, Im still really confused why a dude from South Africa is in charge of our government and he formed a department Congress didnt approve and they are firing everyone and stealing our money.

It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

#EconomicBlackout

Yay!! A federal judge in California sided with a coalition of unions, temporarily barring the Office of Personnel Management from ordering federal agencies to terminate probationary workers, stating that the firings were ‘illegal, should be stopped, and rescinded.’

Sad but true

It really is reasonable to ask how we could possibly ever forgive our fellow Americans for voting for what is happening to us right now and what is going to continue to happen for years and years. I mean the simple answer would be... we just don't, right? Ever? Because some things are unforgivable?

I knew it was gonna be bad with this stupid motherfucker in charge of the WH but I didn’t realize it was gonna be this bad, this quick. People in our area are already losing their jobs, the stock market keeps going down & we're on track for him to bankrupt this country just like all his businesses

If you are experiencing rage and despair about what is happening in America and the world right now because of the Trump-Vance-Musk regime, you are hardly alone. But a groundswell of opposition is growing. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/ten-reasons-for-optimism

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

In 2020, the military was adamant about refusing to get involved in the election. That's why Trump hates General Mark Milley so much. Now, Trump is transforming the military into one that will back him up in 2029. We need to figure out how to prepare for that eventuality.

Here it comes. The #TrumpDepression

Who is ready to bring it?

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Someone solved the internet.

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

When you wish upon a star ⭐️…

Trump fires 6,000 IRS workers. MAGA: "Yay!" MAGA (also): "Where's my tax refund??!!"

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

This is a statement of intent. Whatever comes next, however many are hurt, killed, and abandoned, all of it lays on the shoulders of the corrupt court and the political party that has installed him into the position to harm us all. They are the enemies of us all and must treated as such.
