We must all band together. There are far more of us than there are of them. Never forget that, no matter how difficult this may become!!

Where are the voices of the Obamas and Harris/Biden amid this chaos and carnage!?!

I think the most wrong I have ever been as a political scientist was when I said in a public forum in 2020 that there would not be political violence in the US (Jan 6 was 2 mos later). Tonight’s purges are a clear precursor to more future such violence. This is textbook authoritarian abuse stuff.

And here we are.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Wish I could travel back two decades in time to tell myself that the guy who was then head of the Republican National Committee is now doing more to fight back against a Republican president than most Democrats.

Pass it on.👇

Elon and his Tech Nazis are accessing your personal data illegally, and there IS something you can do about it. Contact your state's Attorney General, or your Consumer Protection Agency here: www.usa.gov/state-consumer. Fight back.

FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Good advice ⬇️

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Note: In 2024 alone, Musk’s enterprises were awarded approximately $3 billion across nearly 100 federal contracts, averaging about $8 million per day.

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

Posted around NYC, Chicago, DC and other cities. Be creative. Do something!

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

Super Bowl USAID Save Foreign Aid

This is how you do it. Thank you, @tupelopress.bsky.social!!!

Go, Pete!

This Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

This tweet is setting up the Trump administration to thrust the U.S. into a constitutional crisis and obliterate our system of checks and balances as we know it.

A fake billionaire is letting a fake genius destroy America because a bunch of fake patriots are too stupid, too entitled and too hateful to understand the difference between what is fake news and what is fact.

It's getting a little North Korean around here.

THIS IS PERFECT.

As Elon Musk continues to talk about subsidies, let’s remember that he is the LARGEST GOVT SUBSIDIES RECIPIENT in the country!

Bravo, Rep. Marc Pocan !

My God, I feel this post as much as any I have read in the last month

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that. The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct. What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

The shock and awe Musk, Vought, Bannon and Trump — are bringing will backfire if we’re smart about it. Make clear that DOGE is the Dept of Govt Extermination, not Efficiency. Let people see that their taxes are no longer paying for vital public services but to fatten the richest people on earth.

A great post today from @theradr.bsky.social. I discussed the 3.5% rule and these studies at length in my 2021 book. Remember: it really only takes a handful of us acting non-violently across all levers of society to create massive change in a short time. www.lifeisasacredtext.com/organize/

Yaasss!!

The rush to destroy things like USAID and other agencies before lawsuits can stop them is to make it moot. When our stupidly slow judicial system finally moves to stop them it will be far too late. If all 10,000 USAID employees are home and projects abandoned it’s done. It’s evil.

@jamellebouie.net is as usual absolutely right. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/o...

Convo with my friend from Hungary tonight who left after Orban’s election. She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”
