Trump is trying to single handedly save Russia from certain collapse

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks. This is leadership. It’s also unprecedented. A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

Illinois is not afraid of you bitch.

Sophia Magdalena Scholl[a] (9 May 1921 – 22 February 1943) was a German student and anti-Nazi political activist, active in the White Rose non-violent resistance group in Nazi Germany. She was convicted of high treason after having been found distributing anti-war leaflets & executed by guillotine.

Who knew Biden could have just stormed into the White House, handed a friendly billionaire the keys to all the federal buildings, fired anyone who might have voted for Trump and imposed the Green New Deal, police, gun and voting reform and Roe v. Wade by force, without barely a peep from Congress.

1,100 EPA employees have been notified of imminent termination.

Important follow-up on my pinned report and my recent post about the takeover at OPM: The Washington Post has confirmed the claims below. There is indeed a takeover of the federal government happening that is being coordinated by people outside the government who have gotten access to U.S. servers.

Imagine thinking Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense is a win. 😬

WE'RE NEW HERE! Normally I like to stay away from the label of our former TV show "Pit Bulls & Parolees" but I figured it was the best way to catch everyone's attention and to make sure y'all know this is our legit page. Okay Bluesky...here we come!

Don’t throw in the towel. Rest, then call your Senator - Dem & Repub.Tell them you expect them to do their constitutional duty and have real confirmation review & hearings for Gaetz, Hegseth, Gabbard & all cabinet nominees.Don’t let your Senators give their power to Trump w/o a fight. 202-224-3121.

BREAKING: Tim Walz's daughter Hope says that her "red flag" for dating a man is if he listens to Joe Rogan because it means he "probably isn’t a great person" and his "values" won't "align" with hers. This rule has "never failed" her and her friends. Like and share if you love this rule!

It took four years longer than Trump planned, but the January 6th insurrection ultimately succeeded after all. This was due to three main reasons: the cowardice of feckless Republicans in Congress; the greed of all-powerful billionaires; and disinformation fed to voters by Fox News and social media.

I wonder which song he means? ;)

Yep.

Good morning, Bluesky!🌞☕

Terrifying

The most disgusting and disturbing indictment of the US medical system I’ve ever read. This doctor and hospital deserve the UnitedHealth CEO treatment. My god. These poor families. 💔

Thanks to all the atheists out there just doing the right thing without me threatening you with fire and brimstone.

When she’s right she’s right

We need to get past anger and move to defiant, ready and resolved to build a strong, durable opposition. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/buil...

I can’t stand election post mortems. She was a brilliant candidate. She engaged a lost generation of voters and she almost won. I’m still with her.

😂

Two years ago today we were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for protecting The US Capitol on January 6th 2021. Almost 4 years later the efforts to downplay, whitewash and minimize what happened appear to be succeeding. I won't ever stop standing up to them.

This is an oligarchy. The founders never intended people to have this much power… EVER Stop the oligarchy

Ah, the faces of cowardice.

“Trump appears determined to test if he can squander the goodwill he has, and when he does, it will only serve to reinforce what many already know: his leadership is a clear and present danger to the principles that hold this nation together.” My latest: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-honeym...

A terrific article about book bans you all should read bookriot.com/its-still-ce...

I understand Donald Trump for what he is a buffoon. Donald Trump wants you to be scared. Rather than being scared, I am proud to be a happy warrior for democracy. We all need to have the courage to not back down. Do not obey!
