Many could do NOTHING because their funding was frozen; now now they will be fired because it is all a trap.

“Tesla recalls 380,000 vehicles in US over power steering assist issue” 2/21/25 www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/b...

May I gently remind you that in the Budapest memorandum where Ukraine gave up the nukes, 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🇷🇺 guaranteed “to refrain from economic coercion designed to subordinate to their own interest the exercise by Ukraine of the rights inherent in its sovereignty and thus to secure advantages of any kind.” 🧵

Here's the recording of yesterday's #TruthBomb zoom presentation, with an in-depth explanation of why LOCAL NEWS is critical to saving #Democracy. If you've seen the presentation, we're offering a Slack training and TB creation on 2/28 @ 2pm PT. www.mobilize.us/civicsundays... youtu.be/2OPzJuE-5TM

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

Musk & DOGE are now f*cking with the Social Security Administration. 🚨 IMPORTANT: If you or a loved one experience delayed SS payments or difficulty accessing SSDI services, CALL THE PEOPLE’S HOTLINE! Tell your story. ☎️ 503-212-4600 ☎️ Pass it on. Link below.

trump doesn't care about anything but himself. He really needs to be pushed out along with his whole administration and get real people to govern.

This is how we need to see what's happening right now--because that's certainly how *they* see it. Think, act, and react accordingly

Despite facing declining poll numbers and growing constituent unrest, Trump is now publicly urging Elon Musk to intensify his efforts.

A MUST-SEE‼️ The PayPal Mafia—Musk, Thiel, Sacks, and Botha—have ties to apartheid South Africa & a hand in US policy and the election. • Elon Musk – Unelected co-president, dismantling the government for his own gain. FUN FACT: His grandfather wanted to scrap democracy for technocrat rule. 🧵

We’ve been ringing the alarm about the dangers of repro data collection but it’s not just period trackers you should be concerned about. Uber/Lyft + other apps tracking geolocation data are also risky for abortion seekers. https://tinyurl.com/2p89nr74

Three updates: 1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

"All families deserve to be seen and heard. To act otherwise is harmful and sends a devastating message to students: that their lives and families are so offensive and dangerous that they can’t even be discussed in school." pen.org/mahmoud-v-ta...

Maybe you should talk to some artists, Lisa? They'll tell you about the impact of government funding. Honestly this government are plumbing new depths. To talk about "virtue signaling" in what's a pathetic attempt to signal you're "anti-woke" or some such nonsense is hypocritical and dense.

We can learn so much from disability history and the disability justice movement.

An interesting example of how fossil fuel industry PR and big media complicity have created a Human Centipede of propaganda that dominates the public information space.

US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine doesn’t sign minerals deal. Starlink is essential for Ukraine’s battlefield comms. This is the equivalent of FDR threatening to arm the Nazis if Europe didn’t sign over half its resources. Extortion. And utterly unforgivable. Hell awaits.

NEW: DOJ lawyers were so embarrassed by judge Reyes they went full Karen and are asking to speak to the manager. They filed a letter with the chief judge of the DC circuit complaining about Judge Reyes.

The Trump DOJ is big mad about their finest legal minds being humiliated in court

Did you know that 72 MILLION Americans rely on Medicaid for healthcare? The Trump Administration and MAGA Republicans in Congress want to take it away to give tax breaks to billionaires. Don't let them take away our healthcare. Let them know you didn’t vote for this shit.

Read the real stories about what USAID cuts mean, not the Musk propaganda www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the US. It is laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world. The emerging battle will be global democracy vs. a global oligarchy. The US is emerging on the side of global oligarchy.

Trump’s betrayal of Americans: He promised not to cut Medicaid—now he’s backing a House plan that slashes $880 billion from it. All to fund $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich. He doesn’t care if families drown in debt, as long as he & his billionaire buddies get richer. Don’t Cut My Medicaid!

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

New — All Department of Defense agencies were sent a video of an agitated Pete Hegseth debunking supposedly fake media stories. Today at least one agency called an “emergency” town hall and forced employees to watch the propaganda. www.dvidshub.net/video/953069...

" #SCOTUS for now prevented #Trump from firing head of a watchdog agency in 1st legal showdown to reach them.. In unusual move neither granted nor denied emerg reqst filed by Trump admin after lower courts blocked the effort to fire Hampton Dellinger" www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

My latest: "As Trump Sinks in Ratings, The Resistance Rises" Trump & Musk's desire to create a new Broligarchy Reich is being challenged by the majority & a GOP base, which is slowly realizing that Republicans don't care about them or the price of eggs. thelefthook.substack.com/p/as-trump-a...

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

DOGE = Department of Gross Errors

John Fetterman’s staff are leaving him in droves and there are awful rumors about how he treats them. Are we sure he’s not just three Kyrsten Sinemas sitting on each other’s shoulders in a hoodie? Our latest:

This is a right-wing media outlet using the false promise of nuclear power in a predatory, cynical and deeply cruel way to exploit the broad systemic failure to enact a just transition away from fossil fuels. Just utterly messed up HT @simonahac.bsky.social

The White House has kept the wire service from covering key events because it refuses to call the body of water between Mexico and Florida the Gulf of America, as the Trump administration prefers.

Ah shit it turns out the problem with conservatism is that conservatives are all evil

😱😱😱

Just wow. He's openly threatening governors if they don't comply with losing all federal funding by violating their own state laws.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

I’m with the true King. 🙌🏼💯 #StephenKing

“You can build all the dick rockets you want…” (getting alt text started because I don’t think it’s there.) #dickRockets

Something to note. The Proud Boys are at the Capitol today and Trump wore a yellow tie. Black and yellow are proud boy colors. It's very clear that he views them as his personal militia that will mete out political violence. "stand back and stand by."
