A lot of people are going to die from this

Yup. In the end they’re a bunch of cowards cosplaying at being tough.

Proud of my fellow Vermonters today! Resist!

More than a thousand people protested JD Vance at Sugarbush resort today. I 💚 VT!

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

From the moment Silicon Valley exploded in the 1990s, its leading denizens have subscribed to a kind of techno-chauvinism: a belief that only engineers know how to solve the problems of humankind, and if you work for the government, then you can’t be very smart www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

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.

Non-zero chance Trump, Musk and Putin are now in an open alliance to destroy the democracies of the West. We need to be talking about it more. bsky.app/profile/simo...

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

Jan. 6 rioters pardoned by Trump say it should absolve their child-porn charges, too www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

American medical association is doing daily updates on their YouTube channel,since our govetment seems to be silent about it. Please share...

Popok breaks down the Trump admin’s growing scandals—7 prosecutors quit over a corrupt deal with NYC’s mayor, 68 lawsuits + 19 injunctions in 3 weeks, JD Vance praised by Russian TV for attacking our allies & more. Tune in now!

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Elon Musk and his minions are taking Americans’ private personal and financial data in one of the biggest data hacks in U.S. history. www.aft.org/press-releas...

"There are moments in the world’s history where people look back and ask, 'Where were the lawyers? Where were the judges?' In these moments, the rule of law becomes especially vulnerable," said the judge. Applause broke out in his courtroom. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-p...

Paying US farmers massive agricultural subsidies and then claiming it as overseas development assistance has been one of the worst US policies of the so-called free trade era. 🧵 #usaid #humanitarian #foreignpolicy

W, and I cannot stress this enough, TF

Please call 202-224-3121 ask for your Senator and tell them to hold the floor, and not vote for Russ Vought. Senator Bernie Sanders one of my Senators lines are packed!

As a prosecutor, we investigated cases where bad actors left themselves a back door in govt systems. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse suggests Musk’s team could “manipulate data, steal data, and leave back doors. Your privacy gone.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/u...

This thread should be the entire messaging strategy of the Democratic Party right now.

A teen DOGE staffer recently given access to government systems worked at a startup known for hiring convicted hackers. Someone using a Telegram handle associated with him also solicited a cyberattack-for-hire service in 2022. All raising questions about his vetting. www.wired.com/story/edward...

The thing about the sovereign wealth fund that Trump created yesterday by executive order is that it is the means to steal from the US Treasury and put that money into a place that only he controls.

It's classic narcissism: create the problem, terrify everyone, cave, and claim you've solved the problem you created so everyone can praise you. Except he's playing with lives, markets, and trade.

Elon Musk now has access to your Social Security number. The world’s richest man has gained access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States.

“There’s a certain amount of rhetoric that we take as normal now . . . and it’s a really dangerous way to run a country,” Bishop Mariann Budde says. “If we talk to each other like that all the time, we are going down a path of self-destruction as a nation.”

He signed an executive order last night blaming Biden, Obama and DEI for the plane crash. That's how scared he is that we'll realize that he fired the FAA head and disbanded the aviation safety control board at Musk's instruction ten days before the crash. This is classic DARVO. It's on THEM.

This is ENTIRELY unenforceable, and will be struck down ASAP. Also, this tries to legitimate the idea that teachers are performing gender affirming surgery *at school* which we all know is total horseshit. DO NOT COMPLY. Teachers, we love you, and we especially love you when you affirm our kids.

Why is Trump dismantling the federal workforce? I have some ideas. You can find them here. www.muellershewrote.com/p/trumps-sme...

Apt read this morning for those who want to understand what is happening.

I am begging the national media to start taking this seriously. Stop buying the claims that the framing of "temporary" or "pause." They are altering the review processes of federally funded scientific research from merit-based peer review processes to political screening by ideologues.
