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.

Anyone else see that Cybertruck stuck in the snow while the Honda Fit drives right past it? Pretty much sums up America vs rest of the world.

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

King Trump vows to shutter the @USPS and have Amazon handle all US. In return, shit-eater @JeffBezos bends the knee & begs to be the world’s first trillionaire. King Musk is furious as he wants to be the first to reach that milestone. We are at a standstill. More to come.

American planes are crashing almost every day and the Secretary of Transportation is visiting the Daytona 500 and tweeting at Pete Buttigieg.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Well-oiled machine

RFK Jr said he wants to send folks who are taking antidepressants and ADHD medications to "wellness farms" in rural America where they will be forced to labor by growing organic food to "cure their addictions." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Elizabeth isn’t hiding. She’s leading from the front:

Ooooh well played.

At the direction of RFK Jr., America’s newly confirmed secretary of Health and Human Services, the CDC has suddenly fired nearly 1,300 employees in a single day. 10% of America’s vital team of health experts — considered global leaders in disease control — have been axed. Although HHS…

Oh FFS.

In a reckless move that could put countless Americans at risk, CDC cuts are expected to devastate the Epidemic Intelligence Service, a ‘crown jewel’ of public health EIS officers tasked with investigating disease outbreaks and health threats in the U.S. and abroad.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

The Eagles will snub the White House visit. Go Birds 🦅

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

The cruelty is the point

Too. Little. Too. Late. ✨

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

👀 "If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me." -- AUSA Hagan Scotten, SDNY.

This is just one of thousands of harrowing stories told about the U.S. Government abandoning Americans abroad in the USAID shutdown. This is Benghazi times a million. 1/

Do Americans want safe food? Which Departments are responsible for food safety? USDA HHS -> FDA and CDC Commerce -> NOAA (fisheries) If one Department is disabled, we don’t have safe food Enjoy your dinner 🍲

"I will bring down inflation on day one." 😂😂😂😂

Protect this law at all costs ! www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

It warms my heart that the team who won't visit the White House beat the team who kissed his ass.

I’ll say it again. What makes this platform different is that it’s moderated. And, The Terms of Service are enforced. Bluesky is not like Twitter The world needs a platform where people who disagree can have a real discussion.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

NEW: I just met @georgetakei.bsky.social and he has a very important message for everyone:

Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who is sick of stupid trumpers cheering every idiotic move made by trump, thinking that it ONLY hurts liberals. You stupid MAGA jackasses, what he does negatively affects AMERICA, and that includes YOUR dumb asses too. Go ahead, ring that bell.

Every decent human being at the Super Bowl should take a knee during the National Anthem.

Veterans Benefits Administration getting into a little good trouble by honoring black history month in an agency-wide email.

I love this. This should be the symbol of the new rebel coalition.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections. Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

One of the most important websites in America right now.

Senator Schiff (as Dems filibuster the nomination of Project 2025 author Russ Vought): “The moment you say it’s ok to violate the law to shut down USAID you have said it is ok to violate the law and shut down anything.”

During my former life, I accepted being shot at, dodging IEDs and the occasional rocket…Let me tell you, waking up to yet another Fork in the Road email knowing it originated from a 19-y/o incel at the behest of an oligarch has me enraged like never before.

Jesuit Priest 👇🏽

Perfectly captured.

Impeach Trump. Arrest Musk. As soon as possible.

NEW: David Hogg has won the vice chair DNC election.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are
