Serious question, because this is where we’re headed… Who’s going to hold Donald Trump and Elon Musk accountable if he defies court rulings? Who’s going to stop him?

Oopsie. Trump's DoJ off to a spectacular start.

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

Guardrail Alert: Early Saturday, a federal judge in New York BLOCKED Elon Musk's “Department of Government Efficiency” from accessing Treasury Department records that contain sensitive personal data such as Social Security and bank account numbers for millions of Americans. U.S. District…

Who would have thought the fate of our 249 year-old Democracy would lie in the hands of a washed up reality star and a 19 year old?

Hypocrite! Republicans of today have no sense of decency... no shame. When those are gone, the society does not have a basic tool to "force" people in power to change their ways. Without "shame" public opinion is toothless.

Trump’s new order isn’t about justice, it’s about reviving apartheid-era policies. Cutting aid to South Africa and prioritizing white Afrikaner refugees is white supremacy in action. This is “Making Apartheid Great Again.” We’ve seen this before. History can’t repeat itself. #StopTheHate

Trump is taking over the Kennedy Center board, appointing himself as chair. No president has ever done this. The last time the arts were forced to align with government messaging? WWII Germany. This is a power grab, not culture. Speak out. #HandsOffTheArts thehill.com/blogs/in-the...

#ProudBlue Felon 47 & Musk made insulting remarks about USAID workers They did great work that was shut down by people who don’t vote in our country The fired/laid off workers had advanced degrees & worked as PHDs, medical doctors, economists, & scientists F47 & Musk don’t respect humanitarians

Belle Gibson built a ‘wellness’ empire on a lie. 'Apple Cider Vinegar' unravels her con: Netflix’s new limited series, Apple Cider Vinegar, tells the story of the elaborate cancer con orchestrated by Australian blogger Annabelle (Belle) Gibson. The first episode opens with Gibson’s character…

Here’s what we did today

#StoptheCoup #ForkOffElon

We are not safe under Trump. We are exposed to another 9/11 or worse. We are losing our friends and families. We are losing our healthcare. We are losing our education. We are losing our groceries. We are losing our money. We are losing our gas. We are losing.

Yesterday’s live is now on YouTube: m.youtube.com/watch?featur...

I was just outside the Treasury Department where Elon Musk has launched a full scale authoritarian takeover. My message to Musk is simple: get your hands off our money and get the hell out.

NEW: Trump describes Gaza as a “demolition site” whilst sitting next to the indicted war criminal who demolished it. He then explains he wants to clear Gaza of Palestinians and find them somewhere else to live. Presumably to hand Gaza to Israel. It’s US-backed ethnic cleansing.

We will never how many people will die as a result of the Musk-Trump actions as there will be no records kept.

Wow. Jamie Raskin discusses a possible impeachment of Donald Trump for illegal executive overreach. “Find me two Republicans and I’ll go to work tomorrow.” Would you support impeachment against Donald Trump?

Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them at one point as “targets.” The website lists mostly Black employees.

50 Protests 50 States 1 Day 02/05/2025

The 50501 Movement—or 50 states, 50 protests, one day—is garnering support throughout social media over its plan to stage demonstrations across the nation to "fight Fascism" on February 5. You can find your state location for protesting tomorrow here: www.newsweek.com/50-states-an...

"Two-thirds of the staff of the President’s Malaria Initiative, an organization founded by former President George W. Bush, have been fired, including some of the most senior and respected scientists working on malaria control in the world..." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/h...

After declaring that all Palestinians should be removed from Gaza and that the US should take "ownership" of the strip, Trump issues an executive order ending US funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).

The FBI has a massive opportunity to be the hero of this American story.

Looks like Kash Patel lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee when he tried to distance himself from the J6 Prison Choir he promoted—a group of January 6 rioters that included violent offenders. GOP senators are backing as FBI chief a guy who hailed cop-beaters. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8xx...

Why is America allowing Elon Musk to take over the country?

Senator Andy Kim joins the opposition

“Should this information fall into the wrong hands, the national security of the United States would be severely compromised” Nine FBI employees/agents sue over Justice Dept acting leadership’s order that the Bureau hand over a list of employees who worked on Jan 6 cases

The way Republicans have been voting to approve OBVIOUS, unfit buffoons like Pete Hegseth and RFK Jr proves that either they think those cabinet positions are utterly meaningless, or they're just too cowardly to stand up to trump for anything. Or both.

Five Things Democrats Must Do to Fight Trump Now The party is not helpless. In fact, Democrats have some very effective tools at their disposal.

I can not get over the fact that we would have RFK Jr become head of HHS when he mislead a measles outbreak in Somoa that killed people by his ant-vax stance. He’s been paid millions of dollars to stroke fear and mistrust in vaccines. He is a danger to American Health.

There is nearly total consolidation of the biggest tech and social media companies behind Trump. #USDemocracy

New: A group representing thousands of US doctors is suing the Trump administration over the sudden removal of public health data from government websites, arguing it creates a “dangerous gap” in information available to track disease and diagnose patients www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I wonder what an active coup would look like in America? I bet it would look something like this.....Said every real American patriot. Stopping the coup will be up to us. We need to act sooner than later. #SheShed #wtpBLUE #Voices4Victory

Tariffs are apparently on the way. The reason is stated to be increased fentanyl surveillance at the borders. That goalpost will move. "Agriculture, automobiles and energy suppliers, pillars of all three economies, would be upended by blanket tariffs."

A second plane has gone down in 3 days. Seems like things were safer when DEI was still in place.

A Patel or Gabbard confirmation would be the death knell for this nation.

Just got this tip from an airline pilot

Trump & GOP's Project 2025 is a manifesto to control women & terrorize anyone who doesn't look like them, worship like them, or lives a lifestyle they deem unacceptable. #ProudBlue #Project2025 #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TheTurdReich #Felon47 #FOTUS #NotMyDictator #Resist
