If you watch any sporting event in America and the commercials, it would be hard to contend that American culture tells young men that they are "bad" if they like to have a beer with friends. This is far-right, culture-war drivel.

DOGE Dives Into Core National Defense and Data Systems Across Government talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/doge-...

“Rehiring people on Tuesday that you fired on Friday does not scream ‘government efficiency’.” @colbertlateshow.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/a...

This is a useful tracker of moves Trump has taken that are probably illegal and which have already been halted by judges. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/u...

Every reporter today should be asking every Congressional Republican why they're OK siding with Putin and walking away from NATO and democracy.

Helpful tracker on Project 2025's destruction. www.project2025.observer?utm_source=s...

Always a head-scratcher when someone says they think Trump has any “business acumen”… And to use that as a basis to vote him into office a second time is like sticking your finger into the socket…a second time.

Pick your response. This is: A. Dangerous B. Completely mad C. Deeply unserious (Hint: it’s all of the above) www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

“What a lie,” Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen wrote on X Thursday, in reply to Musk parroting the talking point yet again on Fox News. “And from someone who complains about lack of honesty from the mainstream media.”

Important 🧵: Stanford political scientist uses data to show DOGE is attacking “liberal” agencies, not focusing on waste & inefficiency: “The hardest hit agencies are those that regulate industry, protect public health, and expand access to education.”

Something refreshing to hear: in a new poll Americans oppose Trump’s pardoning of violent January 6th insurrectionists by 83-14. Credit: Aaron Blake from WaPo

I’m done with X and Elon. Done with the rigged algorithms, suppression of free speech, and violent threats. Join me here, or on Instagram, Substack, Threads, and at my website frankfigliuzzi.com

New this am from @andrewperez.bsky.social @timdickinson.bsky.social and me for @rollingstone.com It’s….. yea. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Danny has been my friend since middle school. He’s been laying low & trying to live his life, but this issue forced him to post the below on FB. He was w/ DSS for 16 yrs & served all over also as a marine. Please share everywhere, per his request. 💙 abcnews.go.com/US/diplomati...

Did I mention that the data broker industry must be destroyed?

The key point that was made in this clip is that it happened organically. We don’t come from the consultant class, we get zero legacy media hype, we don’t get invited on shows & don’t want to be on TV, no big money donors writing checks. It all happened one person at a time. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Republican Senators who voted for RFK Jr. have the best healthcare in the world, paid for by you. They don’t care about what’s going to happen to your kids, your parents, or you.

Exciting news from Zeteo! Former Congress/Squad members @coribush.bsky.social & @jamaalbowmanny.bsky.social will be launching a new monthly YouTube show for us. 'Bowman and Bush' will spill the tea on what really goes on inside of Congress & the role of big money & special interests. Trailer:

To the @GOP senators and Congressmen who claim to support Ukraine, you do have some power… if you’re unwilling to exercise it then don’t pretend to care about your country more than your political career:

NEW: A regional FEMA chief of staff took Elon Musk's Fork in the Road offer. He has proof of receipt. But they didn't honor it. Instead, they fired him 13 days later. Now, this retired Navy captain is speaking out. www.thebulwark.com/p/musk-doge-...

They voted for bad things to happen to other people is the truest read of the situation

🚨 Scoop: Treasury Dept agrees to block DOGE access to personal taxpayer data at IRS 🚨 IRS was preparing to try to reject this request, but was able to negotiate with the Trump admin to narrow access. Now DOGE will get the same access as academic researchers and some IT professionals, per sources.

So, a while back, I saw a qstn on Reddit: What are the best Black #History #books you recommend? For anyone wanting some resources, I'll be posting at least one book/documentary per day for the rest of #BlackHistoryMonth , starting here😊: https://buff.ly/4k6z1QC #BlackSky #BookSky #education

More of this. Do not give in.

Ummm…👇 The more you know…💫

Sweet Baby Jesus, Why did you take our brains from us? Was it the Trump bibles? Was it worshiping a golden oaf? How can we make amends?

A former commander of an International Space Station mission counters Elon Musk’s misinformation about the current ISS mission. Musk lashes out and calls him “fully retarded” and an “idiot.”

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

Spare us, Sen. Tillis. You gave us Putin's puppet and you are his puppet. So you are Putin's agent. Ukraine's blood will be on your hands. You are guilty. Your protests: empty. Thom Tillis: Putin is ‘the greatest threat to democracy in my lifetime’ www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

"Frederick Douglass is the very best that this nation has produced. The cancelation of this parade in his honor [reflects] a deep animus toward anything that detracts from a white-centered view of American history. Yes, racism." open.substack.com/pub/kevinmle...

Kash Patel. Fucking Kash Patel. 😡

Mark my words—He is going to try to shut down mail-in voting. When he does, we will sue and we will win. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant. Today:

Politico’s owner liked Vance cozying up to the Nazi-tainted AfD. Good to know.

the whole 2020-2024 era of “dems shouldnt aggressively use the levers of power bc then republicans will do the same thing when theyre elected” sure looks dumb as dog shit right now huh

Fun fact: while Phony Stark and the DOGEbags are taking money from our veterans, the world’s poorest people and kids with cancer, Assistant President Poopy Pants has already spent nearly $11 million of our money… playing golf.

As always, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is a real one.

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

LITERALLY EVERY FBI DIRECTOR HAS BEEN A REPUBLICAN. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

This is an excellent template and should be disseminated widely

Can someone please explain to me how it is possible that the very same red-white-and-holy-shit-they’re-stupids flying “don’t tread on me” flags are also like “hell yeah he’s our motherfucking king! Cry harder Libs!” Explain this to me like I’m 5 and not smarter than all of them combined. Please.
