If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Multiple reports of drivers doing spontaneous sieg heil salutes at protesters today, including in one case from someone I know personally. What is being normalized is monstrous and dangerous; every day we step closer to the abyss

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Let Amazon and Apple make this Faustian bargain...especially as Musk and Trump are going to be more and more unpopular. People won't forget.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion were ideals instilled in many of us from a young age by Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, The Reading Rainbow, PeeWee Herman, and so many others. They aren’t new. Those ideals were the standard, what we all wanted, what we worked toward. What the fuck happened to everyone?

Hi!👋 My team and I are hoping to speak to federal employees who have been impacted by DOGE cuts. If you’re willing to share your story, please send a note to [email protected]

This is absolutely the way! This is so, so critically important - to shift & guide the public narrative to say this is not just about protecting federal employees (which we want to do!), but this is about protecting the public and all the services and benefits we rely on to live our lives.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Wrote about how easy it is to claim you saved taxpayers billions when you just make shit up. But also how this is the Twitter Files all over again. The dumbest people don't know what they're looking at so it must be a conspiracy www.techdirt.com/2025/02/19/i...

REMINDER: Cutting IRS spending is not a “cost-cutting” move. Cutting the IRS lowers revenue. It’s a move to protect the wealthy, like Elon Musk. Auditing the rich returns $12 for every $1 spent. www.nber.org/papers/w31376

This is like Senators asking for Trump to release funding for their pet projects. When you campaigned for a personalist presidency you have turned yourself into a beggar seeking the King’s favor rather than a citizen who can be confident of equal treatment for all.

The key point that was made in this clip is that it happened organically. We don’t come from the consultant class, we get zero legacy media hype, we don’t get invited on shows & don’t want to be on TV, no big money donors writing checks. It all happened one person at a time. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

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. 🧵⬇️

To Trump and all his cronies trying to set back progress 100 years —including the Republicans who think this is going well for you. You should have listened to the millions of Americans who told you loud and clear before election day that WE ARE NOT GOING BACK. If you think we’re playin —FAFO

Zelensky has been fighting for democracy in Ukraine. Trump, aka-‘Wannabe dictator bone spurs’ and his fascist goons are trying to destroy democracy here in the U.S. If I had to go into battle— I know which one I would want on my side.
