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

This x10000000000 “In other words: We, the opposition, are the majority. Take heart.” www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/they-are-a...

Valuing diversity is not a crime Installing white men in every position of power is not a meritocracy

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Can we just seize the Russian assets already and give them to Ukraine? Good lord just do it

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Dear business owners that voted for Trump, You could have had $50K in capital and a robust SBA. Instead, DOGE is cancelling all your government contracts and putting you out of business so he can have the contracts for himself.

REALLY worth reading. Gessen is Russian-American and lived under autocratic rule. She knows of what she speaks. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/o...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but we didn't have multiple plane crashes per week under President Biden and Secretary Buttigieg.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

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.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

It’s not about “government efficiency.” It’s about autocratic power.

This is Washington, D.C.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

I absolutely love this idea.

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

Christian Science Monitor: “America’s farmers helped put Trump in the White House… these same communities are reacting with a sense of dismay as Trump dismantles federal agencies and freeze Biden-era financing programs…” www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics...

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

There are a whole bunch of Senators who could learn a thing or two from Danielle Sassoon about putting the good of the country before their personal ambition.

We need to be clear that Trump and Musk are not reducing the size of the US government, or making it more efficient. They are destroying it.

it's important to say in plain English what's going on

Not long ago, we had a president who stood firmly with our allies against the aggression of dictators and authoritarians.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Give us a break. McConnell had his chance after the deadly insurrection. He could have ended this nightmare with a Senate conviction. He didn’t. Let’s never forget his unforgivable disservice to the Constitution and America. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Hey Wisconsin!!! On the ground here! Let's make out voices heard! We can keep fighting! Supreme Court Election April 1st!!!

Just look at the press, practically salivating. They feed off this chaos. Trump’s instability gives them more headlines in a day than Biden did in two weeks. It’s great for ratings, but devastating for the country. And they’re complicit.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Begging some hero in the Department of Ed to rename the student loan record file folder "DEI training materials" before unlocking the door for the DOGE bros

There are more people who want American democracy to survive than there are people who want to destroy it. Let's act accordingly.

For all the unfair characterizations of women as being subpar “DEI” hires, most of the BEST managers I've ever reported to were women. I can think of TWO highly-qualified Women in particular who aren't convicted felons who would be a TRILLION times better than the buzzard in the Oval Office.

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees: Don’t accept a buyout. Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer. And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it? Sincerely, Robert Reich Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

Spot on from @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

You should print out your Social Security Statement. Elon and who knows how many countless others now have access to your private information, so it'd be wise to have a record of it.

This is how you cover it. World leaders know that Trump is a simpleton who can be easily flattered into backing down. www.nj.com/politics/202...

Well played, President Claudia Sheinbaum, for committing troops already at the border since 2021, knowing perfectly well President Man Baby would have no idea and take it as a win.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.
