Largest protest against fascism in Denver, Colorado since 2020. (🎙️ @kylec.bsky.social) Army Veteran George Lee: "I'm not fighting for me, I'm an old guy I'm 75, but I've got two kids ... I'm fighting for them ... I'm hoping for a better world for them." #3E #USprotests #fiftyfiftyone #Feb17

It really is this simple.

“The head of the Social Security Administration has resigned after she refused to by DOGE staffers access to sensitive information. Your information.”

📌Your (our) social security information is being compromised as I type this. 📌It is one of the biggest stories in United States history, and for the life of me I don’t understand why it isn’t being treated this way. 📌Fucking sirens should be blaring. It is a full-on emergency.

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

While Musk is dismantling and investigating agencies with his DOGE team, he's hoping you forget all the investigations & controversies he's accrued through the last few decades!

Juxtaposing intercepted calls back home from frontline Russian troops with shots of the devastation they have wreaked in Ukraine, Intercepted is a bleak & searing wiretap into Putin’s warping effect on his people & the psychology of power. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/fe... #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited

This is what oligarchy looks like.

POS Elon Musk Threatens to Imprison Entire News Agency President Elon Musk has set his sights on a new target. **WHEN DO WE SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH AND TAKE HIM OUT!!

In this week's column, I explore what I see as a very real prospect of systemic collapse, caused by Trump's actions, and suggest we start preparing. I try to explain how complex systems fail, and suggest some of the failure paths we could be on. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Hundreds of asylum seekers from around the globe are being trapped by the US in a Panama hotel where they'll eventually be sent to a camp in the jungle. One Chinese man said “I thought: America is a free country with respect for human rights. I had no idea it was like a dictatorship.”

Sounds like all of hhs is under a cyber attack, which in fact it is

URGENT: The special general elections for Florida’s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025. If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses!

TODAY’S EPISODE OF: WE FU*CKING WARNED YOU NYC firefighter unions that supported Trump and Republicans are furious at the House decision to strip funding for the 9/11 healthcare program.

There seems to be a vast under-appreciation for the lines we’ve crossed and the world we’re in. Trump’s win has basically put us in a post-rules world. People in power don’t feel constrained by rules and any remaining checks don’t feel empowered to be checks. This reality has not set in yet.

A judge issued Kash Patel an Order of Ineptitude. Follow along….

Wow. I’m looking at the actual pardon as an attorney and it’s SWEEPING. Not only does it pardon Hunter for crimes he was charged with, but any crimes he MAY have committed over the last 11 years. This is a father protecting his son from Donald Trump.

Good. And now I hope that Biden pardons those that will be targeted by Trump. President Joe Biden Pardons Son Hunter Biden www.huffpost.com/entry/joe-bi...

I REFUSE to BOW DOWN to Trump!!!

Kinda sums up where we are.

Give a man a fish. He feeds for a day. Teach a man to fish. He feeds for a lifetime. Teach a billionaire to fish. He buys all the lakes and rivers and then charges you to fish them.

For those, like myself, those dealing with post-election trauma, this article was very helpful. I'm sure I will be circling back to it over the next few years for sustenance. How to Keep Going Amid the Chaos www.nytimes.com/2024/11/29/o...

What Trumpism did was provide a way for deeply unhappy people to spend their time instead of doing anything to change their circumstances It's like meth in the form of a so-called "political movement" Some brief kicks, but your teeth will probably fall out because the DHHS Secretary hates fluoride

So Pete Hegseth, Trump’s disastrous nominee for Defense Secretary, had his own mother call him trash & an abuser of women? Yet another incompetent, unqualified nominee in scandal. If Repubs had an ounce of dignity left, they don’t, but if they did, they would block this guy. I won’t hold my breath!

How am I supposed to make the bed?

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

I am such a believer in this. Down-ballot is the way. It’s also how we build a sustainable future of good leaders and infrastructure to elect and support them, as well as the movements they represent. We don’t just need strong candidates. We need strong organizers, managers, CoS, grassroots, etc.

This is a starter pack I created of amazing activists, messengers, good trouble makers building the blue wave!!! I love Bluesky, organizing, mobilizing, supporting, donating, volunteering, doing everything I can electing Democrats up & down the ballot! Please follow everyone! go.bsky.app/8kZj2Ye

She also wrote: “I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.”

I DIDN’T KNOW HOME IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDED A NEW RUG I APPROVE

Chester got a little grated squash for Thanksgiving. 💕

I put up Christmas lights yesterday. I was thinking I should take down my Kamala banner, until someone driving by shouted "tRump". Fuck that. This banner is staying up until it rots off. If nothing else, this signifies a safe place.

Even if you're not moved by the argument that Twitter is a rightwing cesspool thanks to its redpilled owner, the fact that foreign enemies are expressing concern that they won't be able to use Twitter to manipulate Americans anymore should be enough to warrant the exodus.
