Dear third-party voters, you’ve been awfully quiet. What’s up? What’s the game plan for the next 3 years and 11 months? Asking for 75,017,626 friends who did the right thing because we wanted to avoid all of this shit!!!

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

Emergency Video: will Congress do to itself what they are demanding of other departments? Cut congress’ budget and shrink THEIR staff now!

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

Just as relevant today… “The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses.” - Malcom X (1963)

Reminder, as DOGE style program slashing appears in state houses and treasuries in all 50 states, the highest paid state job in most states is FOOTBALL COACH followed closely by BASKETBALL COACH at public universities.

Because of DOGE, countless Americans are going to die.

The best messaging is to state what everyone knows to be the truth in the simplest and clearest way possible. So it’s hard to imagine more effective messaging than this.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

This Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

A fake billionaire is letting a fake genius destroy America because a bunch of fake patriots are too stupid, too entitled and too hateful to understand the difference between what is fake news and what is fact.

You owe an apology to every child who has to spend their formative years in an America defined by: fear of the other, an epidemic of cruelty, a poverty of decency, a deadly allergy to facts, a Christianity of coercion, a defiant resistance to diversity. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/trump-vote...
