Thread… Was the 2024 election hacked in favor of Trump? Why did he say to his supporters that he didn’t need their votes before the election? Kamala Harris sold out all of her rallies and proved to be the most popular candidate, while Trump’s rallies were only 25% full… youtube.com/shorts/TZpuA...

Fascists gonna Fascist. We live in a Fascist regime, and for those of you (talking to you Schumer) that still think… no, they are just assholes, democracy will hold. Wake the hell up. Democracy is dead, no one- NO ONE will reign in this regime.

Trump’s Policies Nobody Wants 🔘Cut VA workers & services—hurts veterans 🔘Close Dept of Education—chaos for millions of kids 🔘Guts DEI programs—because equality is too much 🔘on again off again tariffs—chaos for business 🔘Hides record park visits—so no one notices the cuts Unpopular? Try disastrous.

TY to @msnbc.com for uplifting how the GOP are gaslighting moms, dads, & families. Their $4.5 trillion tax giveaway for the wealthiest, funded with cuts to core programs like Medicaid & childcare, would damage our economy & their attack on K-12 is shameful. #DontDefundPublicSchools

DOGE is lying to you

Chris Hayes on why Trump is winning the attention war and Democrats are "scared of new things": MSNBC host talks about Donald Trump's "pathological" need for attention — and how Democrats must shift strategy

Yesterday domestic terrorists attempted to intimidate me and Michael Fanone (imagine that 🙄) Longer video coming soon. Heading back out to go inspire and get in good trouble. 🫶🏽✌🏽

Who doesn’t love Calvin & Hobbes? Sunday morning comics, DEI version:

Count me in.

In our new "It Can Happen Here" video, we review Donald Trump's latest fascist moves, as he and Elon Musk war wage war on the US government to advance both oligarchy and autocracy. For more, check out my OUR LAND newsletter at davidcorn.com.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

More CFPB news: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's employees have been told that the bureau's Washington HQ lease is cancelled and the agency has 30 days to vacate the building www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Extortion, pure and simple.

It’s imperative at this point that Europe develop a defense posture independent of the United States, which should be treated as the ally of Russia that it has now become.

This is huge breaking news. Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Chief of Naval Ops, Vice of the Air Force and all three JAG’s of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Watch this breaking news report we did for @votevets.org tonight. This is outragous. www.youtube.com/live/OdOjEdR...

Do you remember when Elon Musk pressured the last FAA chief to resign due to the FAA’s advocacy of over $600,000 in fines for SpaceX? Now, with the latest round of DOGE cuts, hundreds of FAA employees have been laid off, which might increase a lot of travelers’ fear of heights.

What I’ve been saying (screaming). Now there’s data.

Took that long?

“’Good luck with that they just got rid of the entire privacy team,’ an OPM email address responded to CNN’s FOIA request.”

@raskin.house.gov: "The most glaring conflict of interest of all is that Elon is a government contractor himself, who collects billions of dollars from the US government... And like all authoritarian and fascist movements around the world in history, corruption is at the heart of it."

One of the greatest tricks that Donald Trump and Elon Musk ever pulled is to convince millions of people that DOGE is about government efficiency. It's about narcissistic, resentful destruction: The Death of Government Expertise. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Congressional Republicans have recently unveiled bills to: - make Trump's birthday a federal holiday - add Trump's likeness to Mt. Rushmore - let Trump run for a third term - name Dulles Airport after Trump They won't pass, but that doesn't mean they're irrelevant. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Our judicial experts break down what federal courts can do to give their orders teeth, from holding parties in contempt to sanctioning attorneys:

Have you heard about the SAVE Act? It's the newest effort at voter suppression by the House GOP & it's important for all of us. If you're a married woman or someone who doesn't have their birth certificate/passport handy, you're especially going to want to see this. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Republican lawmakers in Utah are advancing a bill that would allow schools to fly swastika flags and Confederate flags while banning Pride flags. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

So much for academic freedom at an accredited university

According to the WaPo, which got their hands on the next phase of DOGE plans, a severe resegregation of government begins this week. Which, I imagine, will serve as cover for more Musk looting of the treasury. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/02/15/doge-fire-federal-employees-trump-dei/

Maryland National Guard declined to participate in a parade to honor the life and legacy of Frederick Douglass, citing recent Trump administration guidance barring Black History Month events. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.

No surprises here: “While the immense cuts are framed as a means of removing waste, they may also become a boon to private companies – including Musk’s own businesses “ www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

“My take on what we need to do right now is this: stay informed about what’s happening nationally, and get engaged locally.” joycevance.substack.com/p/the-courts...

"the Department of Veterans Affairs announced the dismissal of more than 1,000 employees who had served for less than two years. That included researchers working on cancer treatment, opioid addiction, prosthetics and burn pit exposure, U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, a Democrat, said Thursday."

He's preparing to do something really bad.
