Share this with all of the trump voting women you know. MAGA is trying to take away womens’ rights, including the right to vote & divorce an abusive spouse. www.salon.com/2025/02/26/a...

Jane Fonda: Woke just means you give a damn about other people!

I had to verify and indeed, the US appears to be a monarchy now

from today's post — please read the whole thing, thanks! link is here: bit.ly/41irHtM

Neo-Nazi terrorist and convicted mass murderer Anders Breivik, who killed 77 people in Norway in 2011, cited this same Napoleon quote in his manifesto.

OK, but I actually beg to nitpick a little. This letter is excellent, not “amazing.” Fidelity to the law, to their oath, & to basic human morality & ethics is what we should expect from public servants. In fact, it’s what we should expect from everyone.

This video has been reposted multiple times on Reddit and continues to get taken down for whatever reason. I’m a skeptic when it comes to claiming election rigging, but this is alarming.

We in Europe remember that Canadians died to liberate our continent. In the face of Trump's madness, EU stands with Canada now! There is no reason why EU membership should be off the table. 🇪🇺🇨🇦

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Hi… If you are missing any vaccinations, may I gently suggest you go to your local pharmacy to get your shots or boosters while they are readily available.

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth. The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...

Insane how quickly the racist regression is happening in this country. Decades of progress being undone in weeks, without even any laws having to be passed. Just sheer intimidation from Trump and the right, and sheer cowardice from the corporations.

Think firing the entire federal workforce will save America money? Federal civilian employees account for just 4% of the federal budget. Even if someone like Musk—or any president—fired all of us, it wouldn’t make much of a dent in government spending. Don’t fall for it.

Someone finally put it into words

ok, so basically I'm trying to make this post go viral.

BREAKING: The US State Department flag has been spotted flying upside down—a universal signal of distress.

There is nothing new about the hate made manifest today by MAGA conservatives. Fascists have long gone for the "outsiders," the "other," those who "don't look like us," those who "aren't from here"... they are "illegal," "deviant," "sinners"... It's a tale as old as time. (The 🧵 continues)

A colleague of mine told me how incendiary and violent that language was. If only their actions weren't as incendiary and violent as those of the Nazis in the 1930s, that might help us avoid calling it what it is.

Fuck nazis, fascists, alt-rights, and any other white supremacist.

Remember that a literal Nazi salute was not a dealbreaker for these people.

The FBI’s core values, including integrity, compassion, fairness, and allegiance to the Constitution - and oh, yeah, diversity, are being painted over at the FBI Academy. Source: NYT.

Holy shit. This was posted on Twitter yesterday BEFORE the crash.
