1. Have the wealthiest man on Earth "accidentally" perform the gesture on stage at a victory rally for the fascist autocrat that he spent hundreds of millions of dollars to elect. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/thi...

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are on a rampage with a very specific purpose: To weaken our government's ability to fight oligarchy and autocracy. WATCH:

Black officers were also not permitted to refer to themselves as policemen, but rather as patrolmen. To read the full story about how Miami’s Black police officers had to follow a different set of rules, click the link ⤵️

🔥WATCH: “My people used to write country songs about this and march with coal miners. Now look at us— singing the boss man’s praises, marching straight towards the cliff’s edge with smiles on.” TN’s own trae crowder on Trump & Elon’s DOGE rampage. FULL: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2P77fEy/

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

Did you guys see the governor of Maine talk back to Trump? Oh my God. Legend.

We can’t call a Nazi salute a “gesture”

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Remember when you were in school and you read "The Diary of Anne Frank" and you thought of all the things you would have done to stop the Nazis? Do those things now.

Does Congress even remember that it has the power of the purse? www.law.cornell.edu/constitution...

Authoritarians attack women’s and LGBTQ rights to consolidate power—it’s a strategy, not a side effect. Trump’s playbook is no different. Follow Jennifer Weiss-Wolf as she tracks these attacks, with a deliberate eye toward solutions.

More than 10,000 federal employees who had yet to complete their probationary periods have been fired by the Trump administration, including those who work to protect American agriculture.

Do not comply in advance. Stand in the way of those who would subvert what the flag represents. We do not kneel to a would-be king. Be the friction that slows their progress.

"About Jay: I’m weirdly similar to your ex, but like a fabulously rich and mysterious version of him that you would never have dumped for NO GODDAMN REASON in the first place, Daisy."

U.S. tariffs could cause the prices of steel and aluminum cans to rise, an increase that may ultimately be passed on to consumers.

Elon Musk is now trying to flip the balance of power on the top court in one of the country’s most important swing states. Read @ariberman.bsky.social on the very high stakes in Wisconsin and the Tesla founder's plot to buy the state supreme court.

Hello, office of [CONGRESSPERSON’S NAME]! This is [YOUR NAME] from [CITY OR TOWN]. I’m calling to ask about [CONGRESSPERSON]’s stance on simply putting an end to this hellscape of a world and allowing humanity to fade into the black abyss of nonexistence.

Most people don't know this but Ancient Rome was fully remote until Julius Caesar implemented a return to office program and well you know what happened next

Resisting comes in all forms. Here is a very creative one starting to pop up.

Trump rode to political prominence on birtherism and spent the last month of his campaign claiming that Haitians were eating cats. The rise of authoritarianism in America *must* be understood as a misinformation crisis.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Five major airlines—American Airlines, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, and United—have joined an airline trade association lawsuit to overturn a Department of Transportation rule that forces airlines to treat wheelchair users and their mobility devices with dignity.

Understand USDA is now fast tracking to rehire front line employees working on bird flu outbreaks. They were “accidentally” fired by the administration.  Translation: Nice job Musk! You and your friends will still get your tax breaks, but higher egg prices for everyone else.

Over 120,000 Japanese Americans forced into imprisonment in internment camps simply because they were of Japanese heritage.

I'm in the Netherlands this week to foster business ties with companies looking to expand in Minnesota. I've made similar trips as Governor, representing Minnesota around the world, but this time is different.

If you thought Chamberlain’s appeasement of Hitler was a disaster, wait until you hear what 47 just did. We are in the upside down, and our friends in the West are understandably stricken with horror. My write-up: https://buff.ly/4b5ULIe

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

Elon Musk fired a disabled Veteran with 3 tours of duty from his job serving other Veterans at the VA. Elon’s companies get billions from defense contracts. He’s happy to profit off our servicemembers - but when he can no longer make money off them, he kicks them to the curb.

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

BREAKING: Los Angeles fast food workers are ON STRIKE. As activists and immigrants across the nation are learning their rights, the fast food industry is lobbying against Know Your Rights Training for 50,000 LA fast food workers.

The past few weeks have been a master class in myth-busting, starting with the fantasy that the government should be run like a business and the corollary delusion that winning candidates don’t follow through on their agendas. My latest at @thebulwark.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/seven-myth...

These are the GOP members of the House Ways and Means Committee--THEY'RE some of the people hiding while DOGE disrupts Medicare/Medicaid and NIH funding. If they are YOUR representative, consider a visit to their LOCAL OFFICE this week, while they're home, to explain why they need to oversee DOGE.

If you’re wondering who the Elon Musk staffers are, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has several Musk staffers, including Amanda Scales, Brian Bjelde, Stephen Duarte, Christina Hanna, and Bryanne-Michelle Mlodzianowski.
