Good morning. It's Blackout Friday. Not a dollar towards the oligarchs who are holding our Republic hostage. Not a penny for those bending the knee to a fascist authoritarian. Give them nothing.

If Biden had done this it would have been a major story that consumed the media for the next week.

I have noticed that as independent media thrives, the billionaire backed legacy media is starting to call itself independent as well. Don't be fooled. Support fearlessly independent, unapologetically pro-democracy outlets like Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

It’s a coup. That’s what’s happening. It doesn’t matter if it’s only been two weeks. Impeachable offenses aren’t like wine. They don’t need to age.

"...a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power." FDR 1938

At home, Trump has enabled Musk to stage a coup against the government with his army of unvetted stooges taking over the Treasury. Abroad, he's shut down aid & canceled malaria/ HIV programs & put 1000s of lives at risk. Meanwhile, top Democratic leaders are tweeting about egg and priza prices. 😠

Trump wants to distract you from the fact that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator last week. Don’t let him.

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

Journalists: When you ask the question this way, you are accepting the premise. The premise is that non-white men and women (including white women) are not qualified to do the job. Please don’t accept the premise. Frame the question in a way that challenges it. Thank you

Trump is out here trying to blame Black people and women for a plane crash that happened after he announced a DEI purge of the FAA

submitted 33 days ago • 233 comments

Reporters: Please stop calling things DEI that are not DEI. This is only cementing the propaganda being used to legitimize the dismantling of all types of initiatives that are not DEI as well as legitimize efforts to end civil rights enforcement. Be specific with your language. Be accurate.

If Joe Biden fired 100 FAA employees and a plane crash happened just a few hours later, Fox News would bring Lou Dobbs back from the dead with wall-to-wall coverage blaming it on Biden.

Was literally talking to the union representing federal air traffic controllers earlier today about how there’s already a major shortage of air traffic controllers and the resignation offers they all just got from OPM could seriously endanger public safety.

Schatz: The drumbeat below all of this has to be that the policy of the Trump Administration is to rip regular people off. They’re transferring wealth from regular working people, the elderly, students, the disabled and shoving it to the wealthiest individuals that have ever walked this planet.

The least you can do: Refuse to patronize businesses that (1) disrespect Jimmy Carter - and the law - and (2) seek to ingratiate themselves to the orange shitgibbon & his flying monkeys by raising their flag to full staff before Jan. 28. #HalfStaffOrNoBusiness

Dear MAGA, The inauguration will be a private affair. Just Trump & the broligarchs in the rotunda. No seating for you. No special events to acknowledge your support. Not to worry. There will be emails later urging you to buy Trump coins, shoes, bibles, hats etc. Keep that cash coming. Be best.

Corrupt Judge Aileen Cannon has no authority whatsoever to tell Garland what he can or can’t do with the Jack Smith report on Trump’s DC coup crimes. Garland needs to completely ignore her and release the DC portion.
