#ProudBlue #50501Movement This is a very disturbing thread about the regime’s actions and plans to stifle free speech. I totally believe they chose the name on purpose. These nazis touch themselves picturing tanks on our streets.

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

When you share information about upcoming rallies, please add #StandUpForScience, coming March 7 in D.C. and nationwide!

Hmm. Sounds familiar. 🤔

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

Trump and Hegseth’s Reckless Purge of Military Leadership Endangers National Security. Common Defense calls on Congress, military leaders, and every American who cares about democracy to speak out and stand against this dangerous coup in the making.

By executive order - federal police misconduct is no longer tracked. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-... #DemVoice1

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

A lesson in how claims of meritocracy as justification for opposing DEI are often cover for the demand that we return to a system of preference for white men - whatever their qualifications. Fire a qualified Black man. Hire a statutorily unqualified white man. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Trump again proves he is focused on all the wrong things. These firings put his chaotic, short-sighted decision making norms on full display. Weakening our country by gutting the Pentagon only further demonstrates that he doesn’t put our national security first. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

I come from a long line of military service. I never thought that we would ever get to this level of tyranny so fast. This is an air-raid level of warning now. Be prepared to act fast to counter this, the moment to act will come sooner than expected. #DemVoice1

The senior military officer purges will put our troops in danger. Trump put a part-time airmen incharge of the military, jumping a slew of 3 and 4-stars with 30-40 years of military experience. Our enemy couldn’t be happier.

Mr. Robert DeNiro and the creators of The New Limited Series “Zero Day” on Netflix don’t fail to amaze by showing how what is today’s fiction can be tomorrow’s reality. www.netflix.com/us/title/815...

Look, when the parliamentary leader of the Rassemblement national refuses to appear at CPAC thanks to Bannon giving a "provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally last month", you should just acknowledge that these guys are fucking Nazis!

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are already closing your favorite National Parks.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce the Russian disinformation network “Doppelgänger”. Doppelgänger is an influence and hybrid operation spreading Kremlin propaganda via AI-generated fake news websites and social media sites, especially X. 1/20

The Daily Star is like the National Enquirer, so it’s really embarrassing for them to be laughing at us.

"Most Americans don’t want to believe that their government is taking life­saving medicine away from sick people in Africa, or betraying Afghans who sacrificed for this country" But it is. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Tonight, Senate Republicans are charging ahead with their budget proposal. They’re making clear who matters to them: billionaires and giant corporations.  And who does not: working families.

People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.

Youngkin fails to stand up to Trump as federal cuts threaten thousands in Virginia Although some Republicans can't seem to bear what the president is doing to their states, they're too scared to say they’re against it.

This is the simple truth of our times. I remember being in awe of my great-uncle who survived the beaches of Dunkirk and my grandmother who was a wartime nurse. Now is the moment for which you will be judged by your descendents. Make it right for them and by them. #DemVoice1

#DemVoice1 #ProudBlue 🗣FL06 Special April 1, 2025 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Fl... Vote for @joshweil.bsky.social / joshweil.us He’ll fight to defend your Education/Hoising /Social Security/Healthcare 🙏share.

If people want to be useful, they can stop blaming Democrats for not doing what Democrats have no power to do, and start calling and calling out the people who do have power and are doing nothing— Republicans.

It's like when Musk had his engineers retool Twitter's algorithm because Biden received more likes than him for a Super Bowl tweet. Except far more dangerous. This is what Ukraine is facing right now...

A lot of Americans want Trump to be king and don’t care about the price of eggs. They “voted for liberal tears.” Today’s @americandoom.bsky.social is about the pain and punishment they’re inflicting on the rest of us—and their gleeful enjoyment of it. www.american-doom.com/p/punishment...

More on the new Coalition of Nations coming together to stand against the Trump security crisis.

Watch this clip, folks 👇 Does Bannon sound like he's joking about Trump becoming dictator for life? Because he isn't.

Coming after the media? This is FASCISM! This individual is a "government gangster" - the title of his book. "Offensive operations"? Patel is behaving like a drug cartel head leader- Note- Bannon has a new hairstyle and cleaned himself up. #ProudBlue #DemsUnited #DemVoice1

My friend Mary @maryrosewood.bsky.social is bringing back “Today on the Hill,” a series she did in Trump 1.0 on Facebook. She has now made an account here and everyone should follow her. Her insights are truly priceless and she’s doing the lords work in South Cackalacky!

My husband is an auditor. We're not allowed to own stock in any company his COMPANY works with, not just that he personally audits. He's also not allowed to work on accounts where the company employs anyone he's friends or family with. Auditors are not supposed to have skin in the game. Jesus Fuck

How strong is the garrison on the Falklands right now?

VERY important we stop the SAVE act.

Christine Blasey Ford moved 3x and employed around the clock security after going public with her allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, thereby showing about 100x the courage that a sitting US Senator did

Today take a moment to reflect upon the utter despair and despondency those who voted Harris and ended up with #DonnyDiaper Trump must be feeling.. They didn’t want a corrupt, unhinged, puppet of Putin’s as President but they got one❗️ So.. let’s not say “all Americans are morons” it’s just some 🤷🏼‍♂️

Kash Patel has been confirmed to be the FBI Director. I know God is getting tired of looking down at his caller id and saying "you again" 😑

Every single Senate Democrat voted against Kash Patel to serve as FBI director.
