If you don’t think Trump is taking over the US Mail to do away with mail-in voting, you haven’t been paying attention.

Read before it's gone Donald Trump recruited by KGB in 80s www.irishstar.com/news/us-news...

The White House is expected to issue the order to dismantle the Postal Service today. We must take immediate action to protect this important public service that we all rely on, as well as the letter carriers who make it possible. Call 202-224-3121, ask for Mike Johnson's office.

I know, my friend, you are worried that wearing a mask might ruin your outfit but know, my friend, constantly catching all these viruses will ruin more than just your outfit.

W. The. Actual. Fuck.

So. Are we ready to admit this is a coup yet? We don't have kings in this country!

Navalny should be alive and with his wife. Putin should have been murdered in the god forsaken jail.

Insane.

When we talk about the latest iteration of the segregation movement it’s important to be clear that it’s about transphobia AND misogynist racism. “The bills flow from a fundamental belief that whiteness — both the category and those who occupy it — is under threat.” truthout.org/articles/the...

While Musk is investigating agencies with his DOGE team, he's hoping you forget all the investigations & controversies he's accrued through the last few decades. Don’t let anyone forget! Speak out about these things. #StopTheOligarchy

Educate yourself, folks... They are trying to steal YOUR Money

i think many people are still thinking about this as a problem that goes away in four years. this is not a problem that goes away in four years.

Well put!

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

Holy. Fuck.

Show this to a federal worker and let them know how many people support and appreciate them.

STOP FUCKING SAYING ELON IS SMART. He is lucky. He is manipulative. He has built nothing. He has invented nothing. He had daddy's money, made a couple of shrewd investments and then manipulated and strong-armed his way to where he is. STOP ACTING LIKE HE IS TO BE ADMIRED IN ANY WAY

Dear MAGA, Seriously, fuck off 🖕🏻 #SheShed

Ok BlueSky peeps, you know what to do!

Thank you. More please. #demcast #peopleoverprofits #mybodymyvote

Google Maps has lost all respect by renaming the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America. Trump wanted to rename the Gulf of Mexico after himself, but "Bay of Pigs" was already taken. #ProudBlue #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice Constitutional Crisis #TheTurdReich #GoogleMaps

🧵1/2 🚨 HUGE WIN for health & science! 🚨 A federal judge just ordered HHS, CDC & FDA to restore critical medical webpages Trump’s exec order erased. Blocking health info endangers EVERYONE. Science > ideology. Read more: 🔗 tinyurl.com/JudgeOrdersS...

The main difference between the people Germany's Hitler and America's Hitler (according to VP Vance) hoodwinked into fascism was the language they spoke. #USDemocracy #DemVoice1

Assume no one else will speak. Assume no one else will march. Assume no one else will fight. Assume it has to be you. That’s how we stop fascism.

Not good! bsky.app/profile/just...

my view is that as soon as the administration froze disbursement of congressional appropriations we entered constitutional crisis territory

"Protests by military families against a defense secretary are extremely rare..." www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

This will result in women being denied promotions in SC State Agencies. Call your state senators and reps at the Statehouse to stop this insanity. #DemocracyNotDictatorship #scpol

Psssst… federal workers… there are some people who want to help.

This is SO SO BAD. Are you the parent of a kid with an IEP or a 504 Plan? You better be on the phone to your rep and Senators RIGHT NOW.

Buttigieg for the win. Pay attention, Michigan. He could be fighting for you, soon!

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

sherrilyn.substack.com/p/democracy-... Great read from @sifill.bsky.social ..thank you THERE IS NO MAGIC WAY OUT But THINGS ARE BEING DONE Yes..in the courts Yes..Your states Attorney General's offices Yes..Public Outcry MASS PROTESTS and using YOUR VOICE Please take a moment to read

developing story here seems to be that DOGE goons cleaned out CFPB data before Russell Vought illegally ordered it shut down so that Elon Musk could use it as part of his plan to make Vichy Twitter the dominant payment platform www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

If a person cannot obtain an accurate identification document, use a public restroom, travel, obtain medical care, serve in the military, then they cannot participate in public life or our democracy. Trans people are being fully disenfranchised. These are Jim Crow laws. slate.com/news-and-pol...

I don't know how to be more clear. Stop listening to people who are telling us to "pick our battles." This is the fucking battle. It's here now. Each one of these acts is an attack in that battle. Either get in the fight or get the fuck out of our way.

Hold the fuck on a minute — Assistant President Poopy Pants spent $15 million taxpayer dollars to attend a single football game, but Phony Stark’s Division of DOGEbags can’t find the money to fund childhood cancer research? Are you fucking kidding me?!?

#DemVoice1 #ProudBlue Diversity? No, our tribe only 😤 Equity? No, our tribe first 😤 Inclusion? No, our tribe alone.😤 Breathe. Calm down. D.E.I. lifts everyone and is not “unfair” to anyone.

Modern-day coups don’t require rifles. They happen when the executive seizes power, dismantles the judiciary, and usurps the legislature—just like what’s happening now.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.
