Like many of you (and UNLIKE Trump & Musk), my ancestors risked their lives & livelihoods during the 🇺🇸 Revolution, so that we would never again be ruled by kings, nor dictators. I'll be damned if that ends now! Pls follow these Mighty Voices, & find YOUR role in The Opposition! go.bsky.app/PNuT5U1

Since the Spanish conquest of the Americas, settlers have justified their reprisals against indigenous resistance as defensive “self-preservation.” If they felt their survival was imperiled, colonizers engaged in massive retaliation against native peoples. @dirkmoses.bsky.social

Lincoln was exceedingly competent, secure in his own skin, and assembled a team of qualified rivals. Trump is an incompetent moron, he’s tremendously weak and insecure, and has assembled an unqualified team of kooks, mooks, drunks, drug addicts, freaks, and sex predators.

I’m feeling sad, anxious & angry at the administration’s illegal attempt to stop paying the grant money they owe Columbia University, mostly for medical research, teaching & patient care.This is part of a shameful attack on education, inquiry, health & knowledge production.

Trump illegally cut $400M in federal funds to Columbia University over pro-Palestinian protests, claiming they're not quelling antisemitism. Meanwhile, Nazi Musk gets billions in federal funds. He has no issue with Musk but targets legally protesting students. He's as hypocritical as he is hateful.

Trump regime just cancelled $400M in grants & contracts to Columbia University over antisemitism allegations—not because Columbia allowed alt right Nazis to speak on campus—but because Columbia didn't strongly enough condemn & expel pro Palestine speakers on campus. White supremacy in 2025 America.

Musk’s empire has received over $38 billion in government funding. Tens of billions in NASA and Pentagon contracts for SpaceX. Billions in subsidies for Tesla. Multi-million-dollar Defense Department. Military deals, including a $1 billion contract with the US Air Force to expand Starlink.

The future of the Department of Education—and of the students with disabilities who depend on it—will likely hinge on the world views of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, two billionaires who abhor what they perceive as weakness and waste.

Crypto is firmly in its heyday in Washington, with lawsuits evaporating, a wave of industry-backed lawmakers settling into Congress and a digital asset czar reigning in the White House. Now, crypto might be its own worst enemy. My latest column: www.politico.com/news/magazin...

BREAKING: Leaked memo of Trump administration plan to lay off 83,000 VA employees. This is outrageous and will hurt the millions of veterans who rely on lifesaving care from the VA. It is a betrayal and we are going to need everyone to fight this with us!

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Hochul: I convened a roundtable of farmers who are desperately fearful that this is going to kill their livelihood. They export most of their products to Canada; they get a lot of supplies—their fertilizer all comes in from Canada—this is going to crush the livelihoods of people who supported them.

Tonight's speech is gonna be an insane North Korea style celebration of all things Trump. A self congratulatory stroll down propaganda lane, complete with incessant MAGA applause breaks. Despite the distractions, Trump will be aiming it at an audience of one - Putin.
