DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

Zelenskyy: Trump is living in a “disinformation space”

Resisting comes in all forms. Here is a very creative one starting to pop up.

Trump's latest comments on Ukraine and Pres. Zelenskyy are disturbing and are lies. Trump really lives in his own misinformation bubble and it is seriously dangerous. He said the other day that Ukraine caused the invasion .. of Ukraine? And now called Pres. Zelenskyy a dictator on social media. Ugh!

NASA probationary employees were spared the hatchet of President Musk and the DOGE-bags. It is unclear why this happened, but it did. Let's hope it is permanent, and not something they enact in a few months time.

Trump says that Ukraine should have never started the war with Russia. WTF is wrong with that guy? Oh yeah, he loves Putin.

Thanks to @randirhodes.bsky.social, I'm learning about @generalstrikeus.bsky.social ... they need 11 million to participate.

Our future is this clear. We can’t even see a few months down the road. The chaos and incompetence of Trump and his admin are impacting everything.

1/ NASA letting go of 10% of its workforce thanks to another disastrous move by Musk and DOGE. Basically purge NASA of all the new hires because we wouldn't want a well functioning workforce in the years to come .. say around 2032 or anything. I keep hearing about 2% chance of an asteroid impact.

If I can sum up the event of today, it would go like this. Democrats are out of power, but are not powerless. Groups like the ACLU are using the law to slow down and push back against the Trump admin. And it has got to be the people to really keep the pressure on our representatives.

The resistance is forming. I attended a meeting. I was in the overflow room. I went even though when I tried to rsvp, they said they were full. They got 3-4 times the expected participation. There was a call to action to encourage Congress to vote no on HR 32.

I think I woke up on the wrong side of reality today. Just wanted to stay in bed and not even get up. I haven't felt this since the COVID-era.

1/ The pain and suffering unleashed by Trump will never stop. We knew Trump would cave to Putin on the war in Ukraine, but fuck does it hurt my at the core to hear Pigseth's say the US no longer supports Ukraine's entering NATO and it won't get its pre-2014 borders back.

Red, white, and blueland? US screwing Ukraine (officially now). Pigseth getting protested by US military families in Germany. Baby X digging deep into his nose and wiping it all over the place as president daddy talks. OMG .. falling ever so much deeper.

🚨🚨🚨 Trump just fired USAID inspector general Paul Martin—one day after he exposed how Trump’s foreign aid freeze & mass firings have made it easier for U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund terrorist groups like Hamas & ISIS.

In other words, do what Trump says or else. That checks.
