True or false?

🚨 YOU Can OPPOSE Traitor Felon 45‼️ 1/ Volunteer at Your local DEM HQ. 2/ Contact Your local Board of Elections & ask them how to take part in the "Vote Counting" process. 3/ Contact Your nearest ACLU office to Volunteer or Donate. (It files the lawsuits against Trump!)

The nations top research universities (R1) are under assault by the Trump administration. Pitts has paused all PhD admissions for next year. Many R1 schools are also Division 1 NCAA schools. All SEC, Big 10, ACC, Big 12, Ivy League schools. Suspend sports and explain it is due to Musk, Trump

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

As the GOP pushes their Tax Scam they plan to kill health care coverage for children and the poorest Americans. All so their billionaire donors can profit. Don't Cut My Medicaid #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Take a moment to process this: Musk has had his private thugs—who aren’t public servants and don’t work for the government and operate under no known standard of conduct—as _federal law enforcement agents_. When a CPAC host told him his army of security is “enormous,” he replied it should be bigger.

Whenever you ponder how Trump could possibly be president, remember the old saying: “Don’t underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.“

Did you all know? In BRAZIL, it's illegal to make, sell, distribute or promote symbols, emblems, ornaments, badges or propaganda that uses the swastika with the purpose of promoting nazism. Punishment - two to five years reclusion and fine.

Please for the love of Dog get off X, people. You're not resisting. You're supporting a fascist.

72 million Americans are on the chopping block to lose their healthcare if Republicans pass the budget that came out of the House. AOC (D-NY) voices her concerns daily telling her colleagues on the other side of the aisle that people are yelling Don’t Cut My Medicare. AOC has no fucks left to give.

This weekend I’m privileged to attend my first American Lung Association’s National Board of Directors meeting. Lung cancer, air pollution and respiratory viruses dominate the top worldwide health concerns. These are our priority focus areas. We need your help! action.lung.org/site/Donatio...

The DoD has never passed an audit and no doubt its spending should be reviewed. But Sec Hegseth knows little about how DoD works, and less about national security. It would be a good idea to bring in some expertise rather than just throwing the axes.  www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

Singer, James Taylor, uncharacteristically speaks out.

Firing 7000 IRS agents will make it even easier for the rich to get away with skirting what they owe. But it's also a gift to the multi-billion dollar tax prep industry. Fewer IRS agents to help you file your taxes means more money in the pockets of companies like TurboTax.

From the get go of the second Trump administration, it was clear that the president would try to pass a bunch of executive orders without any clear indication that he, or his trusted advisors, actually knew if it was legal. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/wha...

Kristi Noem Says $200 Million DHS Ad Campaign Thanking Trump Was His Idea. www.yahoo.com/news/kristi-...

“She didn't say that. And if she did, she didn’t mean it. And if she did mean it, you didn’t understand. And if you did, it’s not a big deal. And if it is, others have said worse.”

We don’t have massive federal debt because of Social Security & Medicare. We have massive federal debt because the rich don't pay their fair share of taxes. Now R's want to make major cuts to SS to give rich people more tax breaks. #ProudBlue #HandsOffMyMedicaid #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

One might ask, "Is Europe really ready to go to war over Ukraine?" What you need to realize is that this is not just about Ukraine, this is about Russia invading sovereign countries. Where does this end?

Washington, D.C., police said they are investigating Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., over a report of an alleged assault at an apartment building this week. www.yahoo.com/news/washing...

From @stephaniekelton.bsky.social : “PARTISAN DISHONESTY” of Trump & Musk’s “Doge Dividend Checks” plan stephaniekelton.substack.com/p/stimulus-c... sending people checks is only inflationary when Dems do it?🤷🏻👇🏽 — They pretend to care about the debt, a political game to set up tax cuts for the rich

Justice Department is dropping its immigration case against SpaceX

Officials Are Fired at Traffic Safety Agency Investigating Musk’s Company. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has raised questions about crashes involving Tesla’s self-driving technology. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/b...

HELL YEAH!! The largest organization of professional and amateur surfers has just SLAPPED Donald Trump with a major lawsuit to protect California beaches from off shore drilling. SEE YOU IN COURT!

Don’t be a nice person…

Ashley St. Clair filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk for sole custody of their son. Nothing says "MAGA fAmiLY vALUeS" like the 4th baby mama demanding a paternity test in court. 🙄

200 million dollars of waste.

Again: WHERE are our lawmakers? A convicted felon has launched a war on the American people & our constitution. Power in the hands of a weak, vengeful man is the most dangerous thing. They have authority to stop a rogue president. Yet they refuse to act. Why? #Opposition #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Pam Bondi Covers Up Foreign Influence Peddling and Lying to the FBI www.emptywheel.net/2025/02/22/p...

It'd be awesome if @whitehouse.senate.gov asked Attorney General Bondi if she has issued some kind of finding that foreign donations are cool now, so long as they're covered up nicely. www.emptywheel.net/2025/02/22/p...

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

🤬

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

I happen to know a little about product safety. Something to consider as they slash all regulations. 99% of fire extinguishers submitted for testing don’t contain the right chemicals to put out a fire. just one of 1 billion examples I can give you about why regulations keep you alive.

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.
