she is right

She warned us 🤷‍♀️

Help for the people you know who may have been or will be affected by these unlawful terminations.

He thinks he's a king... because he doesn't remember what happened the last time a king tried to rule us. #USDemocracy

DANCE FOR ME, PEASANTS! DANCE!

Talk about "didn't earn it." Caine is the definition of a white man being promoted to his highest level of incompetence. #USDemocracy

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

Ffs🤦‍♀️

Look who got arrested again at the US Capitol yesterday. I could be making a small fortune placing bets on all these pardoned thugs.

They continue to tell this debunked lie 🤥 for a reason: so when they cut social security to pave the way for their tax cuts for the rich you think they had an actual reason to do it.

Somehow, caucasity keeps being misspelled as meritocracy. I guess that’s what happens when half of the population can’t read…

Trump: "We were the richest relatively -- think of this -- from 1870 to 1913. That was our richest. Because we collected tariffs ... we had so much wealth. Of course, now we give it away to transgender ... everybody gets a transgender operation."

The Ukrainians are very aware that giving up the nukes on their soil after the fall of the Soviet Union is why Russia was able to invade them. And so is every other non-nuclear country.

The President who was doing flyovers at Daytona and golfing through his presidency wants an accounting of every federal employee’s work week or they will be fired. This while Elon Musk won’t account for any of his time to Congress.

Lol! Everybody should just write, "I spent the week responding to ridiculous emails like this."

The Dept of Homeland Security has budgeted up to $200M to run anti-immigrant ads in the US & overseas that REPEATEDLY THANK TRUMP for leading an immigration crackdown. DHS Sec Kristi Noem said that these ads were Trump’s idea. 🔥NOT WASTEFUL AT ALL, RIGHT?!!🔥 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

General CQ Brown is a patriot and hero. Firing him makes America less safe, but it will help bring about a Golden Age. For Putin.

A group of wolves is called a pack and a group of Nazis is called a CPAC.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Trump has spent 10 of first 30 days playing golf while thousands of civilians go home to tell their families they have lost their jobs. Debts, kids, tuition, mortgages to pay. Poor mothers w/o childcare. Firing decorated heroes. Hungry kids. I will never forgive him for the suffering he had caused.

Trump on Ukraine: "I want them to give us something for all of the money that we put up and I'm gonna try and get the war settled and I'm try and get all that death ended. We're asking for rare earth and oil, anything we can get. But we feel so stupid. It affects Europe. It doesn't really affect us"

🚨Texas Measles Outbreak 💢From 58 cases - 90 in 3 days 💢Largest in over 30 years Senator Schatz (D-HI): For the first time ever, we will have a Health Secretary who has actively helped cause outbreak instead of to contain them." #Voices4Victory

Watched the video... Absolutely revolting

Harmeet Dhillon will lead Trump's DOJ Civil Rights Division. Michael Gates will be her lieutenant Both are super partisan election deniers from California who have made names for themselves among MAGA attacking civil rights rather than defending & expanding civil rights Both are unqualified

a very confused Trump still thinks that people who make political asylum claims by definition come from insane asylums

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

Who agrees? 👍 👎

4 min video. Yes, we're already in a coup, but there's some good news. We are the heroes - people who keep doing the right thing. If enough people keep doing the right thing, we will change the world. Step up, and speak up, even if you feel the walls are closing in. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOaU...

“I want you to thank me.” 💰Kristi Noem says Trump told her to spend $200 MILLION (taxpayer dollars) running ads thanking him for his immigration crackdown. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

Everything they do is to enrich themselves and their friends. electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

Here's a #GiftLink to this Washington Post story about how scientific research is being gutted: wapo.st/4hOuZed

Strong statement by retired Rear Admiral Mike Smith, President of NSL4A: "National Security Leaders for America strongly condemns the removal of senior military officers without just cause. ... Removing experienced leaders with meritorious records weakens the force and emboldens America’s enemies."

#ResistanceUnited #Voices4Victory Reason #847 why you can't delete documents based on individual words. Safety documents were removed from the Labor Department website because they included "diversity." They dealt with the proper fit of safety equipment for firefighters of diverse size and shape.

Joni Ernst cast one of two pivotal votes to let this happen.

Wealthy elites know that tax cuts for the super-rich are extremely unpopular. It’s why they try to distract us with scapegoats like immigrants, trans people, and a catch-all like DEI. Don’t fall for it.

Valuing diversity is not a crime Installing white men in every position of power is not a meritocracy

But of course!

Steve with a terrifying, and to my mind, sober minded analysis of the CivMil implications of the US Military purge

I was set to launch my book at the Carter Library next month. This week, we were told all events now need approval from the National Archives. The next day, my event was forced to relocate. A book about the working homeless. A book about civil rights. Apparently these topics are now off limits.
