The time is now. The purging of people of color, women, those who are not cis white “Christian” males from all walks of government has now impacted the military.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Breaking: Six of the eight joint chiefs are white men. Which two joint chiefs Trump fired last night may surprise you.

I beg someone to make an effective block list that catches all the blue wave blue heart blue butterfly no dms no crypto resist grifter bots and accounts Only begging b/c bluesky still hasn’t given us private accounts

That.... That could be read two ways. Ya know....

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Put this on during the Superbowl 😁

“If you had to guess the leading cause of death for children and young people around the world, what would you say? Malaria perhaps? Pneumonia? Suicide? They’re all high up there, but no, it’s road accidents.”

So much corruption. So much danger on our roads heading our way.

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

Spoiler: The glue is failing in freezing weather. Because they used glue on the Cybertruck.

Less than three years before Elon Musk tapped him to take part in a sweeping overhaul of the US government, Edward Coristine, then 17, was the subject of a heated dispute between two executives at the Arizona-based cybersecurity firm where he was an intern: bit.ly/3DcfRrN

U.S. Rep. Rich McCormick was peppered with boos and catcalls throughout a town hall meeting in Roswell late Thursday, as hundreds of critics jeered the Republican for backing President Donald Trump’s agenda during his first month in office. #gapol ajc.com/politics/mcc...

A lot of republican events are straight up dangerous for formal acts of protest, but going NIMBY-mode on townhalls seems like a perfect way to distort the calculus of GOP electeds

ICE’s agenda of fear must be answered by fearlessness and fact-checking on the part of bystanders and neighbors; their faceless intimidation must not be normalized.

yearning for...new catholic schism based on excommunication of american soft-sedevacantist using catholicism as cultural signifier instead of actual belief system

"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

⚡️Trump admits Russia attacked Ukraine. "Russia attacked, but they shouldn't have let him attack," U.S. President Donald Trump said on Feb. 21, after previously blaming Ukraine for starting the war.

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the US. It is laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world. The emerging battle will be global democracy vs. a global oligarchy. The US is emerging on the side of global oligarchy.

A probable terrorist plot that killed and injured zero people but destroyed three empty buses is getting more international mainstream coverage than nearly 100 Palestinians killed and over 800 injured since the ceasefire. Three empty buses are more human than 900+ Palestinians.

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

We're doing it, folks

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

EXCLUSIVE (by me, heh) New York Times caught passing off GOP flack as average Black voter www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

what would a foreign adversary do differently as part of a coordinated attack

Alex Kozinski has gone completely off the deep edge. abovethelaw.com/2025/02/disg...

My office is fighting back against the Trump administration's cruel and dangerous attack on transgender youth and access to gender-affirming care.   I will always fight to protect transgender youth and their right to simply be who they are.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

Kash keeping it classy. Putting him in charge of the FBI is a dangerous mistake of historic proportions. The disastrous rise of misplaced power.

What the actual dog water is this? It was a neo-nazi sig-heil. He even admitted it / referenced Musk. What is broken in the NYT headlines crew

NEW PIECE: On the shorter side for my recent writings, I take a chance to step back and return to the big picture. Why should we care if the Trump administration, and Musk's DOGE, are acting unconstitutionally? The answer is not as simple as it might seem. www.crisesnotes.com/why-should-w...

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. That starts with banning super PAC donations in Dem primaries. There’s no way the party can speak for the majority of working people in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

Enrique Tarrio just announced a lawsuit against the DOJ. He says it will be funded by their crypto investments.

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

This is what you get when you pardon violent j6ers. Well done, Trump administration.

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

More than 40,000 foreign nationals were serving in active and reserve components of the U.S. Armed Forces as of February 2024. An estimated additional 115,000 foreign nationals residing in the U.S. are veterans who have previously served on active duty. thetriibe.com/2025/02/blac...
