And it's going to get much worse!

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

This.

Pete Hegseth has informed congressional republicans that he wants to fire JCS Chairman CQ Brown (who formerly led the USAF) and the Navy's top admiral, Lisa Franchetti. He has referred to them as "DEI Woke". Unlike the US Army, the USAF and US Navy have met their recruiting goals.

People who say "Elon is working for free" are exactly the type of idiots who allow billionaires to rob them.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Our Civilization Crumbling

I suspect we’re going to be hearing more stories about failing farmers having their land bought for cheep—it’s not a coincidence. Is this why USAID was cut—to make way for billionaires?! Watch til the end and keep an eye on national parklands too. 🧵

Build the wall! Around DOGE!

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

Massive protests in the US as the country faces an ongoing coup d’état by the Trump regime and his oligarch cabal headed by Musk. Countless people are standing up to fascism proving the US will not go quietly. #3E #USprotests #fiftyfiftyone #Feb17 (🎥 @vuralelibol.bsky.social )

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

Here is my Federal Employment Termination story:

Physically incapable of taking responsibility for his own actions.

Show up the protests in your area. Kodiak, AK

Unreal.

I did not know this. Thank you

From an FDA probationary employee: the firings are coming from outside the agency without cause and with zero input from supervisors (as promised.) More firings expected between now and Tuesday. Do not open the termination email before you download your documents and performance evals.

Shot, chaser. These Nazis absolutely cannot handle being pushed back on their bullshit. My guy is a fringe school board candidate who was going to lose anyway. But there’s a lesson here about how to deal with fascists at a higher level

This Gulf of America bullshit is just a test case for some truly Orwellian 2+2=5. "What can we just claim to be true and thus make everyone repeat it as true?" I know it's not something new from MAGA but it's the most obvious, most grand-sweep, boldest version thus far.

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

ATTN HHS EMPLOYEES: Firing notices are going out. I am in receipt of an email saying they will revoke your access as soon as you read the email that you've been fired. Please download everything you need before you open that email. SHARE FAR & WIDE. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/attn-hhs-e...

Trump has fired people who process prescriptions by mail. So if you’re a veteran, order your meds earlier than you normally would. They could take a while.

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

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

I didn’t change my name when I got married for some very practical reasons but I never thought “so I can keep voting” would be among them

Nailed it…

Sing it loud woman!

NEW: Trump fired the USAID Inspector General just one day after the IG filed a report critical of Trump's dismantling of the agency. www.cnn.com/2025/02/11/p...

Yes indeed
