#ProudBlue #BlueSkyResistance 🚨‼️🚨 This is exactly what I was afraid of when I saw them remove top Military officials. Hegseth went on Fox news & said they are removing roadblocks. Roadblocks to what you drunk, womanizing abuser? A roadblock to shooting protestors (in the legs)?

When I landed in SLC, I used the bathroom despite an anti-trans bathroom ban. Nobody cared. Nobody ever does. The truth is, whatever anti-trans laws they keep passing, nobody actually gives a damn or wants to be the bathroom police. This is the ultimate reason anti-trans hysteria will fail.

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

We are one Hegseth away from never being able to peacefully protest again. #ProudBlue

❗️The interference in the German elections by Elon Musk and Washington was "no less radical and outrageous than that of Moscow," — 🇩🇪German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

This is a moving and powerful letter to Elon Musk from @marcelias.bsky.social Read it when you are feeling discouraged or scared I am keeping it handy to do the same for myself Love, Luna 💕

perhaps the voters of Alaska would like to reconsider their decision and send someone who can do the job next time, like, oh, I dunno, Mary Peltola

Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA): “A program is not waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world. It is not fraud just because he doesn’t like it."

In case you need a smile

I’m positive you all saw the video from Coeur d’Alene, where a woman was pulled out of her seat and arrested by men who claimed to be sheriff deputies, but were not in uniform. I need the men to do something: When you see a woman being abused, step in. Step up. Get in the way. Put your body to use.

TAX THE CHURCHES TAX THE RICH REMOVE THE CAP FROM SOCIAL SECURITY CONTRIBUTIONS HANDS OFF OF SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, MEDICAID AND SNAP AGREE? ✋

NYT: “Except, no. None of that is true. Not that it stops Trump… he has long been unfettered by truth...” Nice to see them using the L word in their headline. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/b...

📌Our Park Service Rangers have flagged the warning on El Capitan. We are under threat by an America-attacking felon.

Trump is not a King Elon Musk is illegal DOGE is illegal Ruling by executive fiat is illegal This is fact not opinion Keep reposting #NoKing #DumpTrump

This woman perfectly demonstrates how to passively resist arrest.

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

😕

Wouldn't it just be a damn shame if EVERYONE emailed their five accomplishments, or 5 thoughts, or insults for Elon, to OPM as they requested of federal employees, thereby crashing the site? Sounds like good trouble to me. PASS IT ON.

Use this call-in line to reach your member of Congress and say you oppose all Medicaid cuts: 866-426-2631 What kind of immoral country cuts healthcare for the poor, for children and women and babies, in order to pay for tax cuts for corporations and billionaires? healthlaw.org/medicaid-def...

TRUMP IS SO WEAK he surrendered to a broken Russia in under a month.

DANCE FOR ME, PEASANTS! DANCE!

I wouldn’t think “moved to root out diversity initiatives” is a useful phrase for journalism at all, but using it as a euphemism for a purge of high ranking black officers is downright Orwellian.

Wise man…

www.npr.org/2025/02/22/g... The homeless in America is staggering It's everywhere It's families It's veterans It's young people 84% CUTS IN STAFFING AT HUD OFFICES that are support offices for HOMELESS PROGRAMS where are they going to go? What ... more Guantanamo bay?

Trump and Musk’s illegal power grabs are hurting working people. They’re gutting Medicaid, public education and the VA all to pay for billionaire tax cuts. Today thousands of people showed up at the State House to say we are ready to fight back.

Got part way through the first sentence at least - "As you watch President Donald Trump and Elon Musk recklessly attempt to destroy the federal government like a pair of toddlers picking legs off a spider..." That is one excruciatingly accurate, precision-guided munition of a metaphor! 🎯☠️

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

Dear America, has it really come down to this? Slash funding for 40.6 million children’s healthcare to enable Trump and his MAGA administration to cut taxes for 756 Billionaires?!? Speak up. Speak out. Right now!!! Don’t cut my Medicaid

Nazi’s sent gay men to ‘the camps’ who were identified with a pink triangle. After the war, most were imprisoned because being gay was still a felony, some until 1994. The symbol later was that of liberation. Here my wife & I at Pink Triangle park in Castro, filled w/ pink quartz. More in comments.

I'm just saying...

Speak it brother.

Three updates: 1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

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 😂

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

What a shame. Teamsters deserve better than this.

📢 “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

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

He will burn down whatever he can, however he can Our systems of governance, rule of law, global alliances, even the Constitution. Consumed by vengeance and greed, he is the greatest threat to our Republic since its founding. We must meet this moment with the force of a thousand suns. Or perish.

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"
