Says the guy who won't even respond to the mothers of his own children

“Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars.”

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

83% of Americans disapprove of King Donold’s pardoning his Jan. 6 goon squad, and now his poll numbers are falling faster than a gold-plated toilet in a hurricane. SMITE!

"The best tool we have is public pressure..." @sarajacobs.house.gov on the GOP's majority in Congress. "The more Republicans start to feel this pressure, the more they'll be willing to work with us to stand up to what Elon Musk, and DOGE and Donald Trump are doing."

So trueeee

63% of Ukrainians support Zelensky's activities, and 74% consider him a patriot, according to a study by IBIF

Literacy is activism. Reading is a political act. Books are tools for liberation.

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)

More Good News For Us That’s Bad For Trump: Onward.

🫡🇺🇸 "Americans do not swear an oath to a king, a tyrant or a dictator. We swear an oath to the Constitution and the idea of ​​America, for which we are willing to die," — Mark Milley ❗️He said that every US military member gives his life to protect the Constitution, not to individuals.

Nailed it.

He nails it.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

🚨WATCH🚨 ON THE LINE with VoteVets, hosted by @fpwellman.bsky.social, digs into Trump’s reckless and feckless military purge.

A real chance for Democrats to make inroads in rural America…

Trump’s Pentagon purge has included the top military lawyers. Nobody should be surprised. Dictators politicize the military. Trump wants those with the biggest guns loyal to him, not the Constitution He says he’s demilitarizing it. I call BS. Orwellian to the core. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

"We need one another in this moment," states Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez! She continues: "We have an obligation to #Resist oligarchs," and "Don't go quietly!" I was fortunate enough to hear her speak in person with Bernie in 2016. She's awesome! #StrongWomenRock www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSil...

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

JUST IN: Per Congress' directive, the occupant of the position can only be fired for "inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office."

Irresponsible Assholes Like Irresponsible Asshole

In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

The Trump administration’s latest wave of paternalistic policies claims to protect women. In reality, it strips them of rights, autonomy and safety.

Day 32 of the Golden Age of America: Trump & Musk pitched a $5K ‘DOGE Dividend’—Congress laughed, Musk waved a chainsaw on stage to ‘cut bureaucracy,’ IRS blocked Musk’s aide from taxpayer data, Trump threatened Maine’s governor over trans athletes—she clapped back with ‘See you in court.’ #FElon
