Governor Janet Mills from Maine told Trump to POUND SAND! This is the kinda energy Democrats need.

Every member of Congress — Republican and Democrat, House and Senate — should hold a live, in-person town hall in their district this week.

American Gothic: Herr Plugs Edition

When American fascists get a whiff of power, the first thing to come off are the gloves, then it’s the hoods.

Guessing that Charmless Slenderman maintains that cadaver-in-a-river pallor by bathing in the blood of the orphaned migrants he keeps locked in his mom’s basement every night

Keep it going! More protest events coming soon. #TeslaTakedown

NEW: Guest post from almost-Rabbi Ben Luks-Morgan: "We who transition into new names, new identities we have always been here in Jewish being and text. Transgender people have always been here. Queer people. Those who don’t quite fit the normative boundaries of Self-- have always been here."

What happened to 1A rights and all that? When Trump-Musk regime whines about 1A rights they mean 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 1A rights, NOT YOURS! You don't stifle employees unless you've got something to hide!

"The emails were 'from an "exec order" Microsoft email address' — not a government email address." apnews.com/article/doge...

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

This week there’s a vote on the SAVE Act. For married women, if you don’t have a birth certificate or passport that matches your married name, you may be unable to vote. Educate yourself, then call your MOCs & tell to vote NO. 202-224-3121 shorturl.at/MSKIl

First Musk did a Nazi salute and now Vance wining and dining with the Nazi party in Germany. We have a Nazi problem, folks. www.reuters.com/world/vance-...

Canada has never been more united

The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway. And those who warned America about it were right.

Trump is an extremely dangerous man--stupid, vindictive, fixated on payback for his enemies. This country will be lucky to survive him.

If you’re a government employee, thank you for your service & here’s a resource you may find helpful. Stay strong. www.civilservicestrong.org

Get them out of government. Most not old enough to be elected to anything. One suspects they are part of Musk’s gaming posse.

Hilarious NYT headline: REPUBLICANS LOVE TRUMP’S SPENDING CUTS. JUST NOT IN THEIR STATES.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

European democrats: Mr. VP, save the lectures. Europe invented democracy-and we defend it every day. We fight disinformation and foreign interference, not free speech. We don't storm our parliaments, and we certainly don't pardon those who do. Democracy is proven by actions, not words.

Just despicable and disgraceful. The US government is now indistinguishable from the mafia.

6 questions, 3 scotches.

This👇🏻. So, basically, Elon wants all the money/

More of this is needed around the world. No normalising. No tipping the cap. No surrender. CALL. HIM. OUT.

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

The richest man in the world—who has now installed unqualified loyalists throughout the US government—is getting much of his information from far-right sources who present a world in which “Western Civilization” is in an existential struggle against Black and brown invaders.

Posted around NYC, Chicago, DC and other cities. Be creative. Do something!

The US tried high tariffs and ‘America first’ policies in the 1930s. Here's what happened next. www.alternet.org/smoot-hawley...

Rep. Jamie Raskin to workers at the CFPB: "If you were saving billions of dollars right now for the plutocrats, and the autocrats, and the theocrats, the dictators, and the bullies, and the rip-off artists, they'd be putting you on the board of the Kennedy Center tonight." Spot on! 🔥

Mr. Patel has been directly involved in secretly orchestrating a purge of career officials at the FBI. Emil Bove, then acting No. 2 at the Justice Department, fired career civil servants solely at the request of a private citizen.

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

A coalition of news organizations said in a court filing that video exhibits from a Jan. 6 riot case had "disappeared" from a government platform that provided access to evidence used in court.

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

The CFPB has returned $21 billion to 205 million consumers who were scammed at the hands of predatory banks. You can root out waste, fraud, and abuse... or you can eliminate the CFPB. But you can't do both.

You’d think Klan Chowder’s cultists were actually in the Superbowl given how much they love being played.

If you wholeheartedly agree with Mark, reply with a 💙 I want my friends to follow you!

Trump DOJ confirms they will ask SCOTUS to overrule Humphrey’s Executor rather than defend independent agencies / multi member commissions like the FTC, etc. (So they’re arguing Trump can fire the boards and commissioners that lead these agencies)

NEW: Tonight, dozens of Consumer Finance Protection Bureau employees were fired via a hastily written email. Some affected employees were addressed as “[EmployeeFirstName][EmployeeLastName], [Job Title], [Division].” W/ @makenakelly.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/dozens...

Remember how I said they would come for the press next? Here we go. Banning AP News, about as non-biased, accurate journalism as you can get, bc they won’t play his silly games. They won’t bend the knee, so he throws a tantrum. My 5yo has better emotional regulation than Trump.
