Actually I pay my taxes so these government employees can do the jobs that our elected representatives decided they should do. Answering emails from a South African neo-Nazi who hasn’t slept in four days is something else

I do not believe that Donald Trump is going to spend the time it would take to actually sign all of the “executive orders” he says he’s signing today, and neither should you. Trump and paperwork, man. #TrumpAndPaperworkMan

This attitude—central to Trump’s approach to everything—is also why you’re almost certain to uncover a shocking lack of legitimacy in almost everything he does. And you’re pretty much guaranteed to be right if you question anything and everything he claims to be doing. #TrumpAndPaperworkMan

After 1,000 National Park Service employees were abruptly fired on February 14, staff banded together to signal “dire distress” by draping an upside-down American flag from the 3,000-foot summit of Yosemite’s iconic El Capitan monolith.

The GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to programs that millions of people rely on. 4) Repeat. They're trying it again this week. Don't let them get away with it.

This dumbass Elon Musk is now yelling “Defund the ACLU” as if it receives government funding, which it does not. This is the dumbass that Trump has in charge of government efficiency? He wants to cut the budget of things that don’t have a budget? Musk might be as mentally incompetent as Trump is.

I’m not sure how this got swept under the carpet, but President Biden’s efforts to combat junk fees will likely save Americans more than $20 billion annually. 👀

The former head of MI6 Sir Richard Dearlove says Europe is no longer in a pre-war situation with Russia, but an actual war. "I don't think there's any point in beating about the bush," Europe & the US are in a "very dangerous situation." "We are in an extraordinary situation historically."

The percentage of bullet ballots for Trump in swing states is significantly higher than in non-swing states, suggesting possible tampering. Cyber-security experts are urging for hand recounts in key precincts to verify the legitimacy of the ballots. www.planetcritical.com/p/cyber-secu...

The real muscle behind Trump’s “populist” movement is the moneyed class — wealthy heiresses, tech bros, and crypto kings. They influence policy to favor the rich, and tell voters that immigrants and DEI have caused their economic plight. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/20/us/politics/rockbridge-tr…

I know everyone is talking about Matt Gaetz but please don't miss this: Georgia fired every single person on its maternal mortality review committee. Why? They didn't like that reporters found out that the state's ban killed two women www.propublica.org/article/geor...

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish. Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part. Who’s with me?

They are counting on you to feel helpless, exhausted, scared, alone, too old or young. We have people worldwide who even at 90 years old went out and resisted. In Ukraine the grandmothers grabbed rifles, the children flew drones. You can hold a sign, organize, we know it’s scary but don’t give up.

I think I understand why much of the world hates the US. Many of us are truly horrible people. Entitled, wasteful, slavishly devoted to “more”. We measure economic success using a billionaire/megacorp yardstick, not the quality of life of the masses. Now we reap.
