President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.

Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

Your friendly neighborhood librarian here...buy physical copies of your favorite books, especially challenged or banned books. Preferably from small local merchants. That's all; carry on. #Read #BookSky #Resist 📚

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow it to fire the head of the Office of Special Counsel, which oversees government whistleblower protections and enforces certain ethics laws.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Truly remarkable that you can attend Yale Law and the end result is that you sound like an unwashed sophomore in an intro to poli sci class before European heads of state.

I am eternally grateful that, unlike some fantasy authors, JRRT seemed genuinely disturbed by things like slavery and child marriage.

Sure, dinner at a nice restaurant is great, but reservations at the void to scream together, now that’s an act of service right there

FYI: You might know me as any number of things, but one of the things I am is a YouTuber who has been running a yearly charity event since 2007. That’s going to become apparent on my bsky feed over the next four or five days. You can learn more about it at projectforawesome.com.

We are calling for a nationwide and international boycott of all Elon Musk-related products and services. Sell your Tesla shares, avoid buying Tesla vehicles, cancel Starlink, and delete your X accounts.

How long until the Library of Congress faces a purge? Should historians be getting what resources they can now? I'm imagining anything related to the civil rights movement, anti-fascism, and even public health could be gone soon.

The Eagles will snub the White House visit. Go Birds 🦅

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Lots of people are joining the Musk boycott. Across the country, Americans are protesting at Tesla showrooms, even taking free test drives just to waste the company’s time.

Forever relevant in the age of social media. Thank you, Wendy Cope.

Want to see advertisers lose MILLIONS this Sunday? A record-setting low for viewers during the Super Bowl would do that. Money talks and bullshit walks.

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.

Amid today’s massive NIH cuts to universities, please know that my research colleagues: - Develop new cancer treatments for kids - Are curing sickle cell disease - Build new tech to help premature babies survive - Prevent teens from dying of drug overdose - And more #NIH #MedSky #research #science

I just found 47 reasons not to watch the Super Bowl

Surprisingly, we find ourselves thanking a Trump appointee—so thank you, Judge. Judge Carl Nichols of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia announced after a hearing that he would issue a temporary restraining order to halt the imminent administrative leave of 2,200 USAID employees.

Sitting in my king-sized bed. Reading A Court of Wings and Ruin. Eating candy. This is your 30’s, and it’s beautiful here.

Crucial SF-50 forms, detailing job titles, salaries, and Social Security numbers, have disappeared from a federal database managed by the Office of Personnel Management.

Overheard at my kitchen table: 8 YO “They’re not called fish sticks because they’re made out of fish. They just look like fish.” 5 YO “No, inside it’s fish. It’s just all cooked up.” 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

NEW: The Senate confirmed Pam Bondi as U.S. attorney general in a 54-46 vote. Her record as an election denier and Trump loyalist raises serious concerns over her ability to uphold justice, protect democracy and lead the nation’s top law enforcement agency.

Every time I set foot in a public library, I get mad thinkin about all these books available to read for free, and all these people bein real loud online without reading a single one of em. WE GOTTA BRING SHAME BACK!

The U.S. Department of Labor is organizing a protest. Elon Musk’s staff will be present at the Frances Perkins Building in Washington, D.C., today at 4 p.m. It was mentioned that staff should plan to stay late after the 4 p.m. meeting to assist with setting up Elon Musk staffers into their systems.

Okay, pardon us, but F this. America, you’ve got to stand up.

LetterKenny is just a bunch of friends stimming 90% of the show 😂😂 Every scene is pun on pun on pun.

Why aren’t we looking into corporate welfare? In the United States, it costs taxpayers billions each year, with estimates ranging from $92 billion to $100 billion annually. Meanwhile, USAID costs only $40 billion. Hmmm… doesn’t add up.

The only immigrant trying to destroy the country.

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

Our coalition is a peaceful resistance—a group of tree-huggers dedicated to keeping Americans informed.

An Elon Musk staffer misused the U.S. Marshals Service by falsely invoking their authority to intimidate. USAID security personnel were threatened with action by the federal Marshals Service.

An overwhelming sense of dread is keeping me awake and making me feel paralyzed. Thanks a lot, @ The United States Government.
