Trump is planning to fire nearly 6,000 IRS employees in the middle of tax season. These are employees who audit millionaires & billionaires who try to dodge taxes. Trump's hard at work to cripple the agency that could stop the rich from exploiting the system.

Formerl DOL and current UC Berkeley economist says Musk's actions will likely cause a recession. Maybe without jobs people will have enough time to protest the destruction of America... Join the general strike www.generalstrike.com. Buy nothing on Feb. 28. #StopProject2025 #FElonMusk #FireElonMusk

One of the many reasons why Bill Burr is one of the greatest comedians of all time is his consistent hatred of the billionaire class. It only benefits the wealthy to divide the people so they do not rise up against them. #ClassConsciousness #ClassWar #StopElonMusk #DeleteDOGE

As an attorney, this Executive Order (2/18/2025) is pretty concerning. Am I reading this correctly: the specialized agencies that are EMPOWERED by Congress to pass regulations cannot do so without running them past Trump and AG Bondi? www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Credit where credit is due. When @vancityreynolds.bsky.social facilitated the sale of Mint Mobile to T-Mobile, I was worried that consolidation would lead to hurting users like me. I'm very happy to see that Mint Mobile is removing data caps and thus truly offering real Unlimited plans. #MintMobile

Danielle Sassoon resigned rather than carry out the Trump administration's order to drop corruption charges against New York City’s mayor, Eric Adams, setting off other resignations within the Justice Department and standing up for the independence that has defined her Manhattan office for decades.

This one was censored in the US so not sure how many of you caught this before, but little X knows about the election rigging. Which is why Musk has effectively kidnapped him and doesn't allow him to be with his mother or other family.

SCOTUS recently dismissed as improvidently granted, or "DIGd," an appeal by defendants incl. Facebook (Meta) and Mark Zuckerberg, concerning whether Facebook’s risk statements in its 2016 report were misleading to investors. Read my article: zlk.com/Blog/faceboo... #Meta #Facebook #SecuritiesLaw

#ElonMusk exposed himself yet again as a charlatan, posing as a "genius", but doesn't even know that the U.S. government uses the most common programming language for databases. Even I could've guessed that the U.S. government uses SQL, and I'm not a programmer. I bet Tesla & SpaceX use SQL too...

I edited down over 9 minutes of President Musk's interview in the Oval Office to just over 30 seconds to make a point: This looks like Elon Musk is our real president, not Trump. Note that Trump sits like a lap dog subservient to his owner. #StopElonMusk #FireElonMusk #FElonMusk #DeleteDOGE

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

Louis Rossman, reputable proponent of the #RightToRepair, poses a great question: if you pay for "ad-free" streaming, but then have ads forced on you anyway, is piracy justified? No seriously, I pay for the most expensive "ad-free" tier of Max but I still get ads... ugh. youtu.be/IIKPjHX5ABk?...

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I think it already is. But seriously. Don’t call them names. We want the door open for them when they realize the mistake they made. We are for a better America. Not a vindictive America

Trump showing his racism. Again. Yet people will claim "he's not racist" because he didn't refer to any minority directly. A "dog whistle" is when someone uses coded language to send a political message. Blaming "diversity" is clearly trying to blame people of color, LGBT, and other minorities.
