Augusta, Maine

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Hands Off Houston

Hell yes, Idaho! #handsoff

360 patriots line the street in Galveston Texas on the GULF OF MEXICO. #handsoff #revolution2025 #patriots

Fuck the monsoons, St. Louis is turning out for #HandsOff.

So proud of American Resisters today! #Handsoff

Small towns all over the country depend on federal services — which is why they're pouring into the streets today to say #HandsOff! Here is Ames, Iowa 👀

#ProudBlue #MomSky Looking at this sign shows how overwhelming the attacks have been by Trump& Musk. There doesn’t seem to be one part of our lives & Government that they haven’t touched. I’m already seeing videos from rallies & it makes me so proud. #HandsOff

Hundreds of thousands of Americans around the country are showing up for democracy today and standing against Trump and Musk’s reckless agenda!

Some "Russian Warship" vibes here from a tiny fed'l agency. via Brett Murphy: The African Development Foundation (budget ~$40 million) is putting up a fight and denying DOGE + Pete Marocco — the State Dept official dismantling USAID — access to their building:

There’s nothing wrong with Billionaires having billions. There is something inherently wrong with billionaires cutting your benefits, and help to the poor through USAID, and running around with a chainsaw giggling. You can have power or billions. But we refuse to be an oligarchy

We have spent trillions to posture against Russia over the years. Now we have a chance to send them into the ash heap of history by supporting Ukraine. It’s a good deal, unless you want Russia to win, in which case god help you

Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats. One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

This is called fraudulent accounting, and it’s what Trump was found criminally guilty of by a New York court.

This is a loudly blown whistle.

So Musk’s people, who misread $8 million as $8 billion, who counted the same contracts multiple times and counted as savings programs that ended last year, claim that their AI is finding lots of Social Security fraud. Why should anyone worry?

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

BASH: You voted to approve Marco Rubio's nomination to be secretary of state. Did you make the right choice? CHRIS MURPHY: Nope. It was a mistake. It was a mistake. I think a lot of us thought Marco Rubio was going to stand up to Trump on an issue like this.

“Americans have developed a bad habit of deploying ‘DEI’ as if it has a clear meaning,” writes Conor Friedersdorf. “Instead they could use more particular language to describe their positions”:

HITTING THE DOCKET: Judge Amy Berman Jackson rules that Trump illegally fired Hampton Dellinger, the Special Counsel of the Office of Special Counsel. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

Australian newspaper "The Sun-Herald" opinion piece calls it out. American msm, take notes.

. @dougjones.bsky.social weighs in on the Oval Office ambush 🔥 “The President has made the United States of America, the greatest country in the history of this planet….look weak…run by a couple of junior high school kids who would rather argue in a locker room than discuss…peace & security.”

A reminder for these times.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Just asking questions.

Trump on Friday transported back to Florida with him boxes of documents that the FBI had seized from Mar-a-Lago after executing a court-ordered search warrant in August 2022. www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/p...

Tom Friedman: "This is a total perversion of U.S. foreign policy practiced by every president since World War I. My fellow Americans, we are in completely uncharted waters, led by a president, who — well, I cannot believe he is a Russian agent, but he sure plays one on TV.​"

I can’t stop thinking about how so many people voted for Trump because they thought he was going to punish people they hate and now he’s hurting them also.
