“Democrats seem to be waiting for Trump, Musk, and MAGA to naturally become unpopular, instead of working overtime to make them unpopular. We can’t wait. We need a unified, aggressive, and creative opposition in this country.” Read more from @leahgreenberg.bsky.social and @ezralevin.bsky.social. 👇

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

"The resistance to Trump 2.0 must be powered by a proliferation of progressive media projects designed to inform, persuade, and activate the American people," writes @djkoessler.bsky.social in an op-ed for COURIER.

This says it all

This is just insane and you all know that, right? Unelected, unfettered, untouchable, unsupported by facts and completely without transparency: www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

but like when did Trump become such a beta?

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

i’m sorry but this guy is the most try hard pick me i’ve ever seen.

What if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it?

“The billionaire is creating major upheaval as his team sweeps through agencies, in what has been an extraordinary flexing of power by a private individual.” Also known as a “coup.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

if a major politician held an emergency rally about the current ongoing coup by the richest man in the world, I think people would go to it. Shit is well and truly fucked. I can think of a couple of people who should do that right now.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Something that I think we can all agree on is that the current generation of Democratic leadership is simply not optimized for the Attention Age. Not really their fault! And honestly, they may be better people for it, but it's a pretty pressing political problem.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

They are coming for the abortion pill next 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

The crisis is here. Dems will win by making this fight about impact on people’s lives. The GOP wants to fight on “federal funding.” They’re not attacking “funding.” They’re attacking veterans, kids who need school lunches, people battling cancer, workers trying to unionize.

What would I do? Senate, House, DNC & Dem Govs EACH need to have a Rapid React WarRoom staffed 24/7/365. They need to have a rotating Senator, Rep, & Gov on call all times to post video, TikTok, statements & do interviews. Pressers are old, tired & mostly useless. Welcome to 2025.

Why aren’t a lot more Democrats standing up LOUDLY and FORCEFULLY to Trump and his agenda? At the very least, they should be holding daily press conferences talking about rising egg, coffee and gas prices; Trump’s blatantly illegal executive orders; and how he’s destroying America’s global standing.

Why does it feel like we’re in free fall? Where is the focused liberal response?

Among other things, Trump’s latest unconstitutional move will pause research on cures for childhood cancer, close homeless shelters, halt food assistance, reduce safety from domestic violence, and shut down suicide hotlines. People will die. Is this what you “price of eggs” voters wanted?

i am constantly hearing that the left is elitist but if it is elitism to stand up for basic values of citizenship and decency against a bunch of cruel dumbasses who have no greater ambition than to tell bad jokes and hear the braying laughter of their dumbass friends, then i am an elitist

The folks obsessively posting about egg prices for the past few years have gone strangely quiet just as egg prices hit an all-time high.

I miss Kamala Harris.

Senator Duckworth said Pete Hegseth is “just not qualified.” Then went on to say Republicans are “trying to shove through his confirmation as quickly as possible, before more news can break of more allegations.” It “speaks to how unfit he is.” More here:

And there it is. One of Trump’s billionaire allies Jamie Dimon just admitted that Trump’s tariffs are going to raise prices and Americans should just “get over it.”

I'll summarize the whole podcast genre: " If you are entertaining, people will listen to you and buy what you are selling. Including politics " They will not check your background, your education or fact check you It's a podcast. They are trying to kill time. Entertainment sells.

In the last 45mins or so they talk about how young men are fed up by school shootings and how ridiculous gun laws are. Suggesting that this is a topic that democrats could take hold of and have an impact They opened a door wide open for their support. But no one cared to watch long enough.

So, does the “make America great again” part come after all of the embarrassing as fuck, screw the planet, public health is for pussies, billionaire taint licking, government selling, yay racism, yay sexism, yay beat the police, dystopian hellscape stuff? Just checking.

PAY ATTENTION! If OUR country was not in the process of moving forward, THEY wouldn’t be working so hard to take us back.

AOC 🔥🔥🔥

DEI programs were created to give everyone who meet objective standards a fair shot at serving our country. Diversity has changed America for the BETTER. Rolling back these programs and offices with an executive order is completely disgraceful. www.cnn.com/2025/01/21/p...

DEI is a GOOD thing - diversity, equity and inclusion are what we should all be working toward .

We keep hearing about masculinity from the Zuckerbergs of the world-- this woman has shown more courage in this 60-second clip than any of the tech billionaires have shown in recent memory as they grovel at Trump's feet.

I'm not saying he's a nazi, I'm saying the nazis are calling him a Nazi

This is your mission. We take our power back now at the local and state level. Stop waiting for a national hero. It’s you. Get to work.

Hey guys. This was EXPLICITLY spelled out in #Project2025. Explicitly. And it gets much worse. We’re going to see dehumanization, repression & persecution of 🏳️‍⚧️ people as has never been seen before. You think they’ll be letting🏳️‍🌈 go after that? 🏳️‍⚧️ people are just the lowest-hanging fruit. 1/

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.? In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

And there it is. Scam and grift revealed. Watch who gets rich off this. Interested also to see how legacy media covers this, which has been putrid so far.

Trump hated TikTok (because China) until it helped him win an election (as even he acknowledges) and now he’s going to save it and take a victory lap. So he’ll have X, TikTok, Insta, and Facebook all working on his behalf. That’s a big difference between now and 2017.

Now that TikTok has officially gone dark, I’m re-upping my post from a few days ago to remind folks that this praise for Trump is wrong.

so the far right will own X, facebook, instagram, threads, and tiktok. and we’ll STILL have to hear how oppressed and censored they are.

r/conservatives shocked and disappointed by $Trump because irony is dead.
