Thousands of people marched in DC in solidarity with Ukraine and against impunity by oligarchs like Trump and Putin. They gathered outside the Russian embassy. #3E #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity #USprotests #DCprotests #StandWithUkraine

DOGE staffer Edward “Big Balls” Coristine is the grandson of Valery Martynov - a “former” KGB spy. That’s right, one of Elon Musk’s young cyber criminals — related to a former KGB spy, and who seemingly did not have to undergo a background check — now has unprecedented access to…

"The increase to Musk's wealth since Trump was elected president three months ago is greater than all of the American aid given to Ukraine over the last three years."-- @timothysnyder.bsky.social

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.

Helpful explanations here. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

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)

The DoD has never passed an audit and no doubt its spending should be reviewed. But Sec Hegseth knows little about how DoD works, and less about national security. It would be a good idea to bring in some expertise rather than just throwing the axes.  www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

Musk will now sue Bannon for not paying to use the Sieg Heil feature on Twitter

Usefully sober fact sheet on Ukraine. Please share with those who need it. understandingwar.org/backgrounder...

Ilan Vladimirovich Muskovich seems manic to me. Manic fascist 🤦🏼‍♀️ Everyone thought it was good idea for reconciliation after South African apartheid instead of imprisoning all of slavers, including daddy of Ilan. This is what happens when you don’t punish evil.

Damn! $10.49 for a dozen eggs in Wisconsin. If I recall correctly, just a few months ago JD Vance was bitching about eggs at $4/dozen. You see boys and girls, Republicans LIE to you and you fall for it. Enjoy your eggs 🤦‍♀️🥴 #Voices4Victory

Kristi Noem’s week: • Sent 400 ICE agents to Colorado and made ONE arrest. • Got the Acting Director fired. • Played dress-up cosplay. • Cheated with Corey Lewandowski. • Wacked more puppies and goats.

Let me get this straight. Elon and his team of tech geniuses don’t understand how SQL databases work, are ignorant of COBOL programming, can’t secure their web server, and have now failed to properly configure an email server so it’s messages don’t get marked as spam. Is that right?

KEEP PUSHING! If they won’t do a town hall DEMAND ONE

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES (sound up) DAY 22 FEBRUARY 2025 I think of my MOM who came from Europe as a young girl, an immigrant All of you know WE ARE ALL IMMIGRANTS What Donald Trump and Elon Musk and DOGE have done to our Country is beyond despicable IT IS NOT AMERICA SHAMEFUL

Apparently, Grok is the only reliable thing Elon Musk has paid people far smarter than him to create.

Enrique Tarrio and some Proud Boys just showed up at the JW Marriott trying to get into the Principles First conference, where several J6 cops are speakers.

Musk’s latest baby momma is releasing the text messages.

Rep Gerry Connolly (D-VA): “The capricious dismissal threatened in Mr. Musk’s post is illegal & cannot be tolerated..Musk’s post is an insult to federal workers & shows that he lacks a basic understanding that many federal workers will not be receiving this email in time to respond by the deadline”

Why is there deafening silence from senior University administrators and trustees in the States, in the face of what appears to be an aggressive assault on scientific inquiry & independence? One plausible explanation is trustee conflicts of interest during crises. www.linkedin.com/pulse/univer...

This gets my vote for tweet/post of the year. This is a RED ALERT post. This is exactly why he’s doing it.

“AI Chatbot, what’s the most shameless exploitation of a conflict of interest? I mean, yet.”

"The reclassification exposes these employees to termination without due process, said U.S. Representative Don Beyer... NSF unilaterally stripped permanent status from both union and non-union workers, including executives, without notification." More on this here: beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

If you’re a federal worker looking for a good accomplishment to share with Elon, tell him you responded to texts from the mother of your children.

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-...

Trump's attacks on the USPS aren't new. For decades, the GOP has been trying to privatize the Post Office and other crucial public services — all to pad the profits of their wealthy corporate donors.
