Elon needs to go to Mars

Women & POC are being erased from government.

The Trump Administration has cost our country over 22,406 American jobs. trumpcostsamerica.com

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.

What's the difference between firing someone "for DEI" and firing them because they are Black?

Still asking why? 🔴Trump has over 30 years of Russian connections⬇️ 🔴The Kremlin helped Trump to get the US presidency twice. 🔴He needs to pay back or he will be eliminated; physically or politically. Failure to recognize it is deadly. zarinazabrisky.medium.com/trumps-early...

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

'We’re gonna do it': Commerce Secretary gives away Trump’s game plan on cutting Medicaid: Although Trump promised not to touch Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security last week, his new billionaire Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, has now said otherwise. “Social Security won’t be touched,…

Russian fascists have now been torturing and raping Ukrainian women for years. Good job by the cowards of the West. www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Can we get this to trend? #Krasnov bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

Great question. In most states, Medicaid is called something else and MOST people on these insurances don't even realize they are on it. For instance, in Connecticut it's called "HUSKY" in California it's called Medi-Cal. This is OUR opportunity to educate people & a sad &TRUE #FAFO moment in time.

What an egotistical twat.

They'll privatize our national resources.

WATCH Bernie Sanders lay out exactly what's at stake if Republicans gut Medicaid. #DontCutMyMedicaid

The Felon47 admin is waging war on science, cutting funding for any research that mentions “climate.” Academics are raising red flags as the government withdraws grants, reflecting Felon47’s all-out assault on environmental regulations and clean energy progress. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

If you still have friends/family who think this administration will help them, talk to them about money....

"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."

WOW "Seven western Wisconsin Republican lawmakers did not appear at an event hosted by the Wisconsin Farmers Union in Chippewa Falls Friday as farmers from the area said they were concerned about the effect that President Donald Trump’s first month in office is having on their livelihoods." ⤵️

Call to action: An automated tool to send emails & calls to your elected US officials in solidarity with Ukraine. If you are from outside of the US "do not" use google maps to find an address or add a personal message saying you're a Republican. #3E #StandWithUkraine americancoalitionforukraine.org

"You don’t need leaders. You don’t need to sign up anywhere. You don’t need consensus with the finger wagging brigade. You just need a time and a place and an action. ... Most importantly, act now." - Heather Marsh, Binding Chaos #3E #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity #EndAutogenocide

Notice how they are saying to “SIT DOWN with” your loved ones “right now.” Be in space with people and start talking about how we are going to meet our own needs, the needs our leaders are failing to serve. It IS about survival, and it’s NOT too late.
