This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

OPMs email servers trying to hold back all the external troll emails they’re getting in response to DOGE.

They want us to be afraid. They want us to hesitate. They want us to fear their next move. Fuck that shit. We are just getting started fighting.

The Supreme Court’s decisions to let unlimited money in politics and to gut the Voting Rights Act directly created the conditions for Donald Trump.

👀 NEW: the current under secretary of State for Management, Ambassador Tibor Nagy, has sent an email regarding OPM's request for five accomplishments: "No employee is obligated to report their activities outside of their department chain of command."

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here? JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply? JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

Please watch #TurningPoint: #TheBombAndTheColdWar. There are many parallels between Trump’s current actions and those of #Putin after the collapse of the USSR (namely, the demand of financial tribute from #oligarchs and the stranglehold he placed on the Russian people). #KnowledgeIsPower #Netflix

I thought Trump promised to create an ABM missile defense system like Israel's Iron Dome in the US. Firing the people responsible for detecting incoming cruise missiles is a funny way to start...🙄🙄🙄

"Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage." -- @govpritzker.illinois.gov

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Mike Johnson thought gutting Medicaid would only hurt poor Democrats. Then he looked at a map and realized it’s his own voters who are about to get cooked.

🧵1 Today, the felon indefinitely halted immigration applications for Ukrainian refugees, Cubans, Venezuelans, Nicaraguans, & Haitians fleeing brutal violence & poverty, as well as those coming in under the Family Reunification Program. Stopping these programs abandons tinyurl.com/Immigration-...

🚨IMPORTANT! Kash Patel’s “mission” CPAC 2024 “We helped destroy the two tier system of justice that is targeting Americans illegally. “We helped destroy an intelligence community that has gone rogue” “And take on the most powerful enemy the US has ever seen….the mainstream media”

“Whether a #GeneralStrike succeeds or not is less important than the public stand it takes against the #exploitation of working-class people. The general strike is not the end of the road but rather *one step* on the path to #TakingBackOurCountry.” inthesetimes.com/article/shut...

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

Please share everywhere!!! Freeze your spending on Feb 28th…. Don’t shop! And if you have to, please turn to a local small business!

Sheinbaum: tRuMp'S EO renaming gulf applied to area of continental shelf under 🇺🇸 control "under no circumstances will MX accept renaming of geographic zone w/in its own territory & under it's jurisdiction." Google: 🇺🇸 will see 'Gulf of America. Everyone else will see both names. 🤔 #Voices4Victory

Hey bros in my replies telling me to “cry harder”, 89 people were cut in the FDA’s human foods program over the weekend, including staff with expertise in infant formula safety. I’m sure that shit won’t affect you right? Not people you love? Infants you love? Just us Libs right?

Called it!!! 🤬🤬🤬

Is Elon a govt employee? If he is, he needs to be held responsible for the intense and number lies he is putting out with constant “if true then…” If he isn’t then he needs to get the hell away from my govt.

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory Stop DOGE, Save NOAA Democratic lawmakers gathered as snow began to fall to condemn DOGE’s proposed cuts to the agency, which provides weather & climate information & oversees various fishing operations. #StopProject2025 www.eenews.net/articles/dem...

Russia is at its weakest in years. Putin is in a precarious situation. They are attacking western interests around the world and murdering Europeans. Why is Rubio bending a knee and showing weakness?

So they're finally admitting that tens of millions of dead people aren't receiving Social Security checks. They "misread" the data, those people were deceased and their social security numbers are on file but no payments are being made. Yes, they really are that fucking stupid🙄 🙄

So….the Bezos-owned rag, @washingtonpost.com, refused to run this ad from @commoncause.bsky.social ! What do you say we make up for their 🐓💩 attitude by spreading it far and wide? www.commoncause.org/articles/jef...

An important point to keep in mind.

The FAA firings. FAA regulates Musk’s rocket company SpaceX Musk clashed with Whitaker after the FAA fined SpaceX for regulatory & safety violations (Rolling Stone) Now Musk is installing SpaceX in place of fired FFA This is a clear conflict of interest. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Nothing says "I support democracy" like an oligarch whining that law-abiding protestors should be thrown in jail on President's Day. #elon #presidentmusk #uspoli #presidentsday #protests #usa #aoc #bernie #trump #potus #doge #donaldtrump #berniesanders #musk #elonmusk #vptrump

This chart is worth understanding before you say something ridiculous like 'Democrats lost everything,' especially if you're blaming Kamala Harris. And notice who's right at the bottom of the chart. #trump #50501movement #protests #elonmusk #KamalaHarris

Hegseth is revealing that he knows nothing about our own history here. If he thinks that might beats values, then how on earth is our nation independent? By his logic, the Continental Army would have been soundly beaten by the British. What an ignorant disgrace! #DemVoice1

The Trump administration is planning to lay off at least 40% of the workers at the federal agency that provides mortgage insurance on loans for people who otherwise wouldn’t qualify for one, according to two sources familiar with the agency’s plans. finance.yahoo.com/news/federal...
