WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

you know the tide is starting to turn with these people when you're hearing this kind of shit

Are you all okay over there

Check out this map of the “North American Technate” … a “technocracy” espoused in the 30s by among others, Elon Musk’s apartheid loving grandfather. Note it includes Greenland and Canada and America. Now you know who is feeding Trump his lines.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Head out to your state capitols or other established points, for today's Not My President national day of protests against the Trump regime and Musk. Remember to stay warm, alert, and most importantly loud. #3E #USprotests #Feb17 #NotMyPresident #NoKings #fiftyfiftyone #NDOP

Michael Steele: “ I’d just like to see somebody wake the hell up and get excited about the fact that your country is under assault! “

He who wrote this is a fascist and a felon.

President Trump's pathetic decision to fire thousands of hardworking U.S. Forest Service employees who protect our communities from devastating wildfires is beyond reckless. It’s dangerous, shameful, and an attack on the safety of the Eighth District. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Just looking at the events of *this one day* compels the conclusion that the United States Government is being run by morons, psychos, invertebrates, and crooks.

I'm outraged that the Senate has decided to confirm RFK Jr. - an unqualified conspiracy theorist - as the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Having him as HHS Secretary puts our lives and national public health at risk.

I need someone to answer this damn question!

“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” Edgar Degas

Kendrick Lamar has a Pulitzer Prize (the FIRST MUSICIAN not in jazz or classical to do so), four albums in the Library of Congress, 22 Grammy nominations, an Emmy, and 3 platinum albums. If ANYONE is trying to discredit him as "unknown" or "trash," they 100% got white hoods in the closet.

If you are looking for someone to say that all is lost and the courts can't help protect democracy, you are following the wrong guy. If you are looking for someone who fights hard and will never give up, I'm here for you.

Yeah, this is more of a class war than a coup.

47,000+ Palestinians killed. 111,000 injured. Trump’s response? Forcibly expel Palestinians to make Gaza “a real estate development for the future. A beautiful piece of land.”  No. Gaza must be rebuilt for the Palestinian people, not billionaire tourists.

So everybody saying we don’t need to worry about any of this stuff because it’s not legal. When do those legal folks step in and turn everything back to normal? Is that happening Monday? Tuesday?

An important announcement from the Governor of Illinois.

Reminder— here was Russ Vought, Trump’s budget guy just confirmed 53-47 by the senate, caught on a hidden camera saying Trump’s Project 2025 disavowal was a lie, they’re keeping their real plans secret, they want to only let in Christian immigrants, etc.. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DFwhPcE...

“It is my purpose,” Churchill wrote in The Gathering Storm, “first to show how easily the tragedy of the Second World War could have been prevented [and] how the malice of the wicked was reinforced by the weakness of the virtuous.”

Exactly. No is a complete sentence

I am begging every Democratic committee, PAC, and candidate to get control of your damn email program right now and stop sending tone deaf fundraising emails that have nothing to do with what's happening. Stop listening to focus groups from a month ago. Stop the 2 approved talking points.

If Musk gets away with leading the charge to close USAID by executive action and cut funding, it won't stop there. They will go through the budget and zero out programs and polices they disagree with across the government. Congress becomes inert and useless. Game over democracy. Line in the sand.

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

"Musk is a private citizen taking control of established government offices. That is not efficiency; that is a coup." nymag.com/intelligence...

If you don't want to be accused of racism, don't vote for a fucking racist, this isn't exactly rocket science my dudes thehill.com/homenews/cam...

Please repost to join this apt apology to our neighbors.

Yes, all if this.
