My post last week reported for comm violation. Pink triangle worn by LGBTQ ppl in camps in Nazi Germany posted by POTUS. www.tiktok.com/@brenteesti?...

Zelensky +10 JD Vance -6 in a national poll. Hahaha.

No the most embarrassing moment or one of them in the United States history was the way that you treated Zelensky in the oval office. And that you’ve become Russian puppets

At least he admitted that he wants Greenland for national security.

Let's be clear here: With Trump wanting to lift sanctions on Russia, he seeks to get Ukraine destroyed, and he encourages Putin to go over Europe as he sees fit. That the EU is now arming up also means: That's the last bullwark in the world... against tyranny. It's on fucking Europe. Astonishing.

When America faltered, others stood up to lead.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

In response to France and Britain openly backing Ukraine, JD McFatface Vance has mocked them as "some random countries". I want to remark that France and Britain both have over 500 strategical nukes combined and ready to go. If they wanted it, they could end mankind. "Random" countries. Sure.

I wasn’t a Reagan fan. But he would hate Trump. Not only what he hate him he would not want his name in his mouth.

Calls for mandatory death penalty for anyone who murders a police officer. Dems loudly and vocally yell about Jan 6th and Capitol Police

I’m so tired of woke up talking point. Woke just means you care about other people. Now that’s bad and needs to be banned.

Business leaders can secure a one-on-one meeting with the president at Mar-a-Lago for $5 million, according to sources with direct knowledge of the meetings. At a so-called candlelight dinner held recently, prospective Mar-a-Lago guests were asked to spend $1 million to reserve a seat

Before Trump says a word tonight, let me remind you of a truth you'll want to keep top of mind as he spews his garbage a bit later: Biden did not "cause" ANYTHING that Trump will be blaming him for. Trump and the GOP....are the problem. Trump...and the GOP. Trump....and the GOP.

Is this what they meant by a Red Wave?

The fat checkers are so busy right now.

Vance and Johnson’s smug faces. Removing someone for lack of decorum when we’ve watched the other side of the aisle treat other presidents like crap for decades is hypocrisy at its best.

I’ve signed up to call Congress to stop Elon Musk with Indivisible on Monday, Mar 3, 2025. Are you free to join me? Use this link to sign up: mobilize.us/s/RPuRDe Do not obey in advance. Defend institutions. Take responsibility for the face of the world. Be as courageous as you can. ~Timothy Snyder

Can someone in the US please do something? Leadership? Anyone? Rioting? So glad I got out. Trump is a puppet. Ukraine is sovereign. Russia invaded with soviet flags. Musk is committing crimes.

So this just happened via text

Arrest Elon Musk.

I'm no expert, but it seems to me that if they can just barge in and take over the US Treasury system, they could do the same with voting machines. Just saying.

The US Oligarch and Nazi Elon Musk has been defeated by a German court. Germany has ruled that Musk must immediately provide researchers with access to X's data on politically related content ahead of the country’s election. www.politico.eu/article/berl...

At some point throwing your weight around with other countries and threatening tariffs, threatening to take over the Panama Canal, renaming the Gulf of Mexico, threatening to take over Greenland, threatening to tariff the EU, is eventually going to just be a declaration of world war. He’s an idiot.

At what point does the military step in? Isn’t that what often happens in dictatorships where the dictator goes insane? Isn’t the US military supposed to have a plan for everything?

Trump...has ZERO RESPECT FOR OUR MILITARY MEMBERS. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Meet Edward "Big Balls" Coristine, a teenage DOGE engineer, who has access to sensitive federal data • Runs Tesla.Sexy, a company operating a Russian website • Worked at startup that hired convicted hackers • Someone using his Telegram handle solicited a cyberattack www.wired.com/story/edward...

Where are our elected officials? An unelected private citizen with financial stakes has access and presumably control over our info and federal payment systems?

USAID Foreign Aid website goes offline in Trump administration's 2-week-old freeze on foreign aid worldwide...

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

Stock Market Plummets as Trump Announces New Tariff War newrepublic.com/post/191018/... via @newrepublic.com

This is what vengeance & retribution look like! He plans to undo everything that happened in the Biden years. Not because it's good for America but because it's revenge on Biden We are in a cold Civil War and he will ultimately try to stop all funding -- whatever it is -- for all Blue states!

Happy (?) Feb 1st. This is bad. (Gift article in comments.) Which circles back to a post from yesterday. 🧵 I know there’s a lot coming at us all at once. Please prioritize your health through it all. 😷 🤡 scrubbing all data does *not* equal no viruses. (Hi Covid) +… bsky.app/profile/adri...

Current day Christians blindly following Trump. Being hate filled. And anti-immigrant.

He wants our water! He wants our energy! He wants our oil and gas! Just remember Canada entered World War 2 in 1939. 3 years before USA. Never think Canada can’t protect our resources & our people. We see the destruction of your law & order institutions by the felon elect. Scary times for USA.

There’s no bottom. Less than two hours after the plane crash in Philadelphia—and just 48 hours after the deadly midair collision in D.C.—the Grifter-in-Chief took to Truth Social to pump his shitcoin scam. Absolutely disgusting.

I'm keeping a running list of disappearing federal data in the 🧵 below. If there are others I missed let me know. crampell[at]washpost[dot]com or Signal username crampell.13

To those that consistently discourage protesting because "Trump may invoke the insurrection act", he's going to do it anyway, regardless of what you do or don't do. Stop playing yourselves and more importantly playing others by blatantly discouraging any real opposition to the Trump regime.

Dem leaders need to start holding national security press conferences explaining to Americans how Elon and Trump are dismantling agencies and seeking sensitive information on federal workers and all Americans. What Elon and co are doing will endanger everything from flying to attacks in U.S.

All six of the FBI's top executives have been pushed out. This is a Hostile Takeover. I repeat this is a Hostile Takeover.

I was going to move back to the US from the year. But wisely waited. I now consider myself an LGBTQ immigrant. My Trump supporting brother says I’m irrational. How dare I think of my safety over being near family? I pray 4 my trans friends trying to leave the US. eu.usatoday.com/story/travel...

It might be because they are in the minority now, but I don't hear a lot of democrats - aside of the confirmation hearings - making a fuss within government about the drag down of democracy by Trump. I have not much faith they will ever recover from that blow or effectively stand up to him.

Trump just ordered 2 dams opened up in California in an unprecedented move that risks depleting the reservoirs ahead of the dry summer months. And the kicker? The water from the dams doesn't even flow to Los Angeles.

This is how autocrats throughout history have endangered the people they govern by erasing factual information vital to health and well being www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

It's a tragedy.

Ronald Reagan: “Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies; they are our allies. We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends—weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.”

Wait did you guys know that DOGE isn't just an advisory committee, they have the actual power to lock government employees out of their offices and take command of highly protected servers controlling trillions of dollars of government assets? That kind of sounds like an unelected coup to me🤔

NBC News is being kicked out of its space in the Pentagon and replaced by OANN.
