Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe calling President Donald Trumps MAGA slogan a "Nazi movement" and being arrested and carried out of a city council meeting by police. Love to see it ✊️

they call it single sign-on because it makes you sign on every single time

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

@repjasmine.bsky.social Thank you so much for your dedication and commitment to the US and our democracy.

Trump Issues Order to Expand His Power Over Agencies Congress Made Independent www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

Accidentally firing nuclear workers? Accidentally firing people working on bird flu? Firing people who keep us safe? No one accidentally fires anyone. Gross incompetence fires people "willy-nilly." It's so Saturday morning cartoonish.

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

Musk’s DOGE seeks access to personal taxpayer data, raising alarm at IRS www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Kentucky flooding, at least 9 dead. Where’s Trump? For the second week in a row off to a major sporting event spending tens of millions of taxpayer dollars. Where’s DOGE now? Little DickTater #DemVoice1

Have I got this right? We are abandoning Ukraine so we can invade Gaza?

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

With Trump and Musk driving U.S. policy, Kansas farmers have been played for suckers kansasreflector.com/2025/02/12/w...

The offer of so-called ‘deferred resignation’ is deceptive and legally dubious, and denied federal employees the time they need to make a major life decision. Today's ruling pausing that offer will give them a little more time to evaluate what is on the table, which is a step in the right direction.

This is a scandal. Elon Musk gave a self-described "racist" and eugenicist access to a system that controls all financial payments from the U.S. Treasury. That system also contains the personal information including Social Security info of every American. 1/

NEW: ICE operations are underway in Denver and Aurora this morning, following similar operations in Chicago and New York www.9news.com/article/news...

Elon Musk gets more than $20 billion in contracts from the US government and bought his way into a new role in the government where he can direct even more money to himself. Enough! My new bill, the ELON MUSK Act, will end this grift! Stop Elon’s grift!

Senate Democrats are considering voting NO or delaying every Trump nominee as retaliation for his overreach on ending USAID. Smash the RT if you SUPPORT this plan. ZERO votes from Democrats!!

Yes, It’s a Coup and Yes, It’s Targeting You

MAGA voted for low grocery prices, but got Trump International Golf Resort and Spa Gaza instead

Maddow: Okay, sure. Yeah. The American people definitely voted for sending troops into Gaza. Is that what this election was about? You think you've got a big Trump mandate for that? Corporal Vance, you're going to suit back up for that?

www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/1/... President Trump thinks he can decree where the people of Gaza are "sent." Last week, Jordan and Egypt rejected this idea.

So are all the isolationists in the new administration, going to agree with the US sending troops to Gaza? When the Muslim world declares war on us, will maga embrace a new war?
