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.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did

From United Humanists on FB

They telt ye Scotland would be stronger in the UK. They telt ye pensions would be at risk and that Brexit wid be a success. Lies. Every. Single. Time. It’s OK to admit ye were lied to—they’re still at it! Time to stand on our own two feet & pick leaders who work for US, not Westminster. 🔥 #YouYesYet

There’s something happening in this country.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

“She didn't say that. And if she did, she didn’t mean it. And if she did mean it, you didn’t understand. And if you did, it’s not a big deal. And if it is, others have said worse.”

This is how it’s done.

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

I Stand With Ukraine 🇺🇦

🚨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!

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

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 😂

The U.S. has been the strongest supporter of Ukraine in its war with Russia. Yet with a series of blunt comments, President Trump now sounds more aligned with Russia than Ukraine.

This is not how federal criminal investigations work. —me (former federal criminal investigator)

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

He should be our messenger.

I kinda like this and think it sorta works. Can we make it stick?

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Congressmen when they are asked if they will cut THEIR budgets and lay off staff as well:

A dictatorship that kills people from democracies if they say something inconvenient hosting another dictatorship that does the same and a country run by a wannabe dictator who wants people jailed for saying anything inconvenient gathered to decide the fate of a democracy that wasn’t even invited?

Hey bros in my replies telling me to “cry harder”, 89 people were cut in the FDA’s human foods program over the weekend, including staff with expertise in infant formula safety. I’m sure that shit won’t affect you right? Not people you love? Infants you love? Just us Libs right?

Brazil shows that it can be done. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: "The question is can you work with Republicans in the middle of a constitutional crisis when democracy is on the line? And right now, I think that this crisis is serious and deepening in its seriousness, that our job #1, #2, and #3 is to save our democracy."

Someone let DOGE know about this wasteful government spending by the Secretary of Transportation Also wtf, is it take your kids to work day …

Glad Trump had the chance to waste millions of taxpayer dollars to fly over the Daytona 500 and then ride The Beast on the track as parts of West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee are underwater. Priorities.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Money talks

Yesterday I read Napoleon. Today it reads like an updated “Stand Back and Stand By” to me

Count me in, ladies!! 💙💙

From an FDA probationary employee: the firings are coming from outside the agency without cause and with zero input from supervisors (as promised.) More firings expected between now and Tuesday. Do not open the termination email before you download your documents and performance evals.
