Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

He nails it.

Happy Saturday💋 Get it kid 🔥🔥 Best walk up ever ⚾️ #SheShed

Per Senator Chris Murphy: "Republicans claimed in 2017 that the first Trump tax cut would increase income for the average family by $4,000. But we have the data, and the increase was $4,000 or even $500...it was ZERO!"

So many protesters 🪧 showing up today. @indivisible.org @tizzywoman.bsky.social More photos to come

This gets my vote for tweet/post of the year. This is a RED ALERT post. This is exactly why he’s doing it.

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

Mmm...

People should be freaking out about this. READ. IT. And think about what it means. Trump's executive order gives him and an attorney general, who he also controls, the power to interpret the law for the executive branch. Not the courts. This needs to be challenged and struck down ASAP.

WOW! Trump just blamed Ukraine for starting the war with Putin. He literally slammed Zelensky about the war saying: "You should have never started it." This is straight up Kremlin talking points and propoganda. Trump is a Russian asset and a TRAITOR to the USA. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

In a 4-3 ruling, the Wisconsin Supreme Court dismissed a right-wing legal challenge that sought to limit the authority of municipalities to designate early absentee voting locations and prevent future use of a mobile voting van deployed by the city of Racine during the 2022 election cycle.

The official White House account posted this today, not even 24 hours after Trump signed an executive order making himself above the law. This is terrifying. When are people going to start fighting back???

This is sickening.

Should the richest man in the world who have the finger on our entire economy also have full control over our largest social media app? Why are we abdication all our power to 47X?

That’s the problem. We’ve been standing by for too long.

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

Elon may know how to gather data, but he doesn't know how to read the data. And by reporting false information, it only creates chaos and misinformation.

Marc is a budget guy with the CRFB 👇🏽 We know it’s hard to debunk Elon’s firehose of lies. But try.

It seems to me that if Musk has proof that millions of social security checks have gone out illegally to dead people, he should be presenting that evidence in front of a grand jury under oath tomorrow instead of shitposting it on social media. When can we do this under oath?

Tillis knew Hegseth was a horrific choice at DOD. He brought in testimony to try to scuttle his nomination and flip other GOP. In the end, he chose his job over his country. When he finishes his second term, he will be 66. He would have a government pension. Not enough.

Did Musk fire hundreds of Federal Aviation Administration employees to increase "efficiency"? I don't think so. There is a better explanation: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

When I get too alarmed, I’m told not to worry so much, things are teed up well for the 2026 elections. But maybe what’s happening in government and on social media also seeks to tilt the playing field for 2026 — and 2028. Musk isn’t going to all this trouble only to lose in 2026 and 2028.

The artist pretty much nailed it in this drawing of Pig-elect Trump!

Since Musk is going to be President, please repost if you'd like to see his income taxes. And while we're looking into his income taxes, let's get him to produce his birth certificate, too.

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

Why do we need the Education Department? It’s simple. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Hitler 👇

“In 1923 A. H. incited an insurrection against the German Gov’t. He was tried, given a slap on the wrist, &became a convicted felon. Despite being treated charitably by the judge, H claimed…political persecution and successfully portrayed himself as a victim of the "corrupt" Social Democrats.”

What in all that is holy???👇 Why is the Republican Party, the Party of Cowards, removing women's accomplishments? Doesn't 47 have a female Chief of Staff? Where are her balls?

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.
