I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

It occurred to me that firing thousands of highly skilled, highly knowledgeable people, some of whom had access to highly secret information, and now have grievances and an urgent need for money, might be considered a security risk. Like, a big one.

It's strikingly similar to the white supremacy campaigns in Reconstruction North Carolina, as described by Gregory Downs in Declarations of Independence (p.192), where Black employment in government jobs was framed as prima facie evidence of anti-white discrimination.

Trump fans can’t get over threatening Ukraine “So the US is now a country that threatens and robs other countries. Amazing. I was a Trump supporter but … now I start to believe those who say Trump is a fascist. He is showing his true colors and it's ugly af.” #LeopardsAteMyFace

Be aware of Nazi symbols, and what they are doing..

This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.

Call it the Musk-Trump Veteran Firing Program. Nearly a third of the federal workers are veterans, and the figure is much higher at DoD. Musk and Trump are going to fire tens of thousands of American veterans, on top of the thousands they already fired. “Thank you for your service, you’re fired.”

"These are not Democratic actors who were bussed in from, you know, the blue parts of the state, honey, These are Republican constituents."

Republican events for a month now (including Inauguration Day!) have featured a prominent Nazi salute & legacy media outlets ignore it. Seems like a trend worth covering, no? Maybe access to the Nazi party shouldn't be prioritized??

www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv... "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government. "

Trump is proving that what DEI is really about is preventing people from consistently hiring unqualified White men when there are qualified women and people of color. And that's why Trump hates DEI.

Because of fucking course it was his idea

“As of now, Trump administration officials say they are planning on using the bases as a holding facility before the immigrants can be deported.”

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Here's a straight line: In 2019, Pete Hegseth encouraged President Trump to pardon accused war criminals. In 2025, Pete Hegseth and President Trump fired the military's top legal officers.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

Good

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

When I want to feel hopeful, I remember I hold my political beliefs because progressive taxation, equality of all citizens, peaceful co-existence & anti-fascism are morally & logically superior to MAGA fascism. I can hope the scales will fall from the eyes of others. Lots of work in the meantime.

Yeah, these federal workers actually understand what they do for us and how devastating these cuts are for us. It'd be great if the media could explain that clearly instead of taking Elon Musk's word that he's magically produced "savings" that come with no downside.

Seems like the GOP is getting to be too racist, even for other far-right world leaders.

They’re super willing to gut us

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

Modern-Day Peaceful Protest… TikTokers are hunting Cybertrucks—pulling up behind them and projecting anti-Elon Musk messages onto the tailgate. What’s genius: the driver has zero rear visibility & zero idea. The Cybertruck Hunters account launched a week ago and already dropped a dozen videos.

I dont know about the "envy of the world" framing, but these are all major pillars of U.S. hegemony and soft power, and yes, the far-right hates all of them for stupid reasons.

That CSIS is even entertaining this situation is a mark of autocratic breakthrough. It is not a mere partisan proposal, it’s an attack on the free world & the post-war settlement as a whole. It must be assessed as such. I don’t think you can work there and stay true to the Four Freedoms.

🚨BREAKING: Zelensky surrenders to Donald Trump A deal could be struck as soon as Saturday, people briefed on negotiations told the Wall Street Journal. The exact terms are not yet clear, however Trump had been pushing for $500 billion worth of minerals in exchange for continued military support.

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy
