This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized. The ADL literally had ONE JOB.

Donald Trump promised to let Elon Musk self-police his conflicts of interest. The result? Those investigating his companies have been fired. Cases against his companies have been dismissed. The corrupt self-dealing is staggering.

Don't be gaslit: They are Nazis. This is a Nazi salute. They are not hiding it, or dog whistling, they are announcing it. They have come out as Nazis. Show the people in your life these images all together. Make them understand this is not an accident, or a fluke. It is happening here.

I’m in for all of them. How about you? Spread the word!

I’ll just leave this here!

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

Canadian power! 🇨🇦

The Ukrainian community is rallying at the Lincoln Memorial marking three years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion. Speakers have already pushed back against Trump’s views of Zelenskyy, asserting that the real dictator “lives in Moscow.”

Proud to stand with the LGBTQ+ community as an ally in the fight.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

This is 100%. Almost everything in the constitution is general or implied. The document literally says there's going to be a post office and congress is in charge of setting it up, deciding what it's rules are.

This is horrific to see. And any news organization that resorts to any sort of euphemism to describe this is absolutely failing everyone.

All across the country, civil servants who worked in the federal government for a public good are risking their jobs to pushback against the Trump Administration. Here are some of their stories.

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

DOGE's "savings" is like saying, "I've saved hundreds of dollars by never changing the oil or replacing the brakes in my old car."

Posted by @warmonitor3.bsky.social on another platform: “Massive military aid package being sent by Europe to Ukraine in the next couple days. And I mean massive.”

Kings have bad endings. They often stop breathing, against their wishes.

I’m sensing a trend

I’m sure there’s a lot of $$ to be had in institutionalization of disabled people. I have a terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach that this will be happening. And soon.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

Keith Olbermann has been talking about this for a long time and having press conferences.

My weekly column and news roundup of our national crisis, written in the style of how the US media would—with more clear-eyed authority—cover these events if they were happening overseas: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/king-donal...

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

Shoutout to Governor Janet Mills! This is the kind of courage we need.

"Leland Dudek, a data analyst working in a small anti-fraud office, was suspected of sharing unauthorized access to information with representatives of Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service. Now he’s the acting Social Security commissioner." wapo.st/41qBKwR

Memo to Democrats: If EVERY ONE of you would do what Janet Mills did yesterday EVERY TIME, Trump would unravel entirely. He relies on you being bullied. Refuse to be.

Please for the love of Dog get off X, people. You're not resisting. You're supporting a fascist.

This is a hopeful perspective, and also a very necessary one. The more people see angry citizens, public refusals to comply or to kneel, and public servants speaking about their loyalty to the Constitution, the more fragile the Trump coalition will be, and the more isolated the Musk clique will be

Watch the courts
