Since #PrezMusk & #Felon47 keep referencing finding $1-2 trillion in waste, fraud, and abuse…let’s ignore for a moment that adding up salaries from people fired for “just cuz” and not paying bills because “nah” is not saving anything…let’s [pretend] that this is a real number. -We are going to…1/4

💩Bannon recently announced that the J6 Choir should perform at the #KennedyCenter. If there are enough that aren't being arrested for yet another crime, here's the set list: Jailhouse Rock Rage Against the Machine (unironically) Folsom Prison Blues I'm a Loser Be Prepared from The Lion King 1/2

All y’all getting excited about the idea of that $5k check need to exhale. 1. The math isn’t even close to correct on what #DOGE has “saved” so there’s no way to calculate an amount anyone might get. 2. “Saved” isn’t the term if people’s lives have been upended with mass layoffs, cuts to…1/5

An official account of the United States of America posted that it is pleasurable to listen to the sounds of humans in chains. The actual #WhiteHouse social media posted a video of human beings in shackles and called it #ASMR. 1/5

The actual definition of “probationary” isn’t a negative. I do believe the definition of “Class Action Lawsuit” is going to have this as an entry in the near future. #AnotherDayMoreChaos

Future @thenba.space #AllStar Weekends: #NBACares 👉Every AS has a charity. Focus on each leading to ASW. Winning team/contest members/MVP get $ to their charities. Have a package wherein each player discusses their favorite player, moment, game, etc. 1/2

I’m already so over #MacMaclung 🙄🥱 #NBAAllStar

Hey, y'all! I'm collecting personal stories on the subject(s) of the languages of #neurodiversity, #gender, & #technology & will compile them into a #researchpaper on the same topic. I will collect some data & promise to keep you anonymous, Please share the link and thank you SO much!

I fully realize which party controls the entire effing government, but that doesn’t mean every @democrats.org can’t #takethemic. Explain what a #coup is. Explain what has/is happening. Use the anger & shock; don’t “we can work together for a middle ground.” Use your actual voice. #speakup #Democracy

The news that @malcomaxx.bsky.social is now a @democrats.org VC. A fighter; doesn’t back down. Bye, status quo. We need leaders that unapologetically do not yield to the fictitious middle ground when it comes to human rights. 2 weeks of absolute horror and this news has me screaming LFG!

Hi, @senatedemocrats.bsky.social & @housedemocrats.bsky.social, can y’all start screaming about the smokescreen that are the EOs (but they’re real & will cost $$$), & refer to #PatsyInChief & #PrezMusk & actually yell about the latter’s take over? Please? We’re #begging! #WhereAreYou @democrats.org

Not elected. No oversight. Not at all government servers already at #OPM. He has the data. All of it. To what end? This isn’t to ban #DEI or “hello,” to the #tariffs and now active #tradewar and about to be ridiculous prices at every register we visit. This is far more sinister. 1/3

Why the either silence or formulaic statements coming from @democrats.org? Where is the outrage? Where is the passion? You don’t need to huddle behind doors to create a message that says “this is all fucking illegal and monstrous.” @housedemocrats.bsky.social, @senatedemocrats.bsky.social. Speak up!

I just assume there’s some crony that makes shitty desks to accommodate all of the #federalworkers that have to return to the office, maybe for the first time ever…and that new office space will be free cuz otherwise, how many dollars will this cost? Week 1: $ billions FiScAlLy CoNsErVaTiVe #RTO

What’s the cost of: -new maps for 2 name changes? -fewer federal employees doing the same, or more, work? -reprinting anything that has “gender” to include website changes, and those passports? -defending these monstrous EOs in court? -repeat for each EO. Day 1 = how many millions of $? #Felon47

I avoided most of any kind of news for most of the day; now here at the end, I see the videos of the salute, articles about the EOs, & all I can muster is a “gawtdamnit; it’s going to be so much worse this time.” I really tried to only read about Kamala’s actions today. I tried. #KamalaForThePeople

It is incredibly not lost on me that on #MLKDay and the day I go in for another convo with my gyno about a #hysterectomy (and hopefully to get it scheduled), that an absolute monster will be sworn in as #POTUS. All on the same day. This is real; and yet I’m in disbelief (read: shock).

If those that vote against their interests finally woke up & realized you are never going to be as rich as them; their policies aren’t for you; the vote for the “one day I’ll be like them” isn’t helping you now or tomorrow. The American Dream: a mirage > real steps to turn it into reality.

Over the “meet them where they are crowd.” It’s kept the Democratic Party firmly ➡️ center ➡️ right. Courting who we think will show up to vote or a specific demography with a kid gloves approach is infuriating. I need the Big Tent Party to listen to grassroots orgs. They don’t fail us. #Organizing

Every single person that has said, posted, or thought #MeToo and that has ever said, thought, or posted #BelieveWomen, and that also voted for the sex offender presidency, is an absolute monster. Unequivocally.

In my best Blanche Devereaux impression: “Git outta hea.” #SusanCollinsIsShockedAgain

This is the worst season of #Veep and it hasn’t even officially started. Is this motherfucker just rolling dice with names of the worst qualified and picking whichever he can read without squinting? #FFS And to think that our hope for not having absolute #Idiocracy rests with…the US Senate.

We're going to take over this place the same way we took over threads: by building up all of you First, hit the like button, reply with #NoDemUnder1k, and most importantly, hit the REPOST button. Then follow each other back. The easiest way to do so is to follow everyone who reposts. Here's how:

If I hear “socially liberal, but fiscally conservative” ever again. Just admit you’ll say what you think is needed to win, only then you’ll lose. All from the middle. The D party will suffer with another no backbone having candidate. We need to actually be loud, consistent, and unabashedly liberal.

Even if everything the Department of Education does now is given to other agencies, and let’s just say all those people keep their jobs (no, they won’t), there is an actual cost to changing names on websites, letterhead, business cards. Every link that has DoE in it. Every document. So much $.

Exactly! Continuing to rely on media that people don’t watch or read or rallies they won’t attend has failed, and will continue to do so. People voting against their own interests makes sense when seen through the context of misinformation and no countermeasures in place to adequately address it.
