Friday night massacre -- the next step in creating a fascist military state. Is there really nothing that can be done? I fear democracy is already over, and we are simply witnessing the death throes. Please prove to me I'm wrong. Can no one in the world stop this?

Part of the preparations for using the American military on American streets to commit violence against American citizens. Full caudillo. bsky.app/profile/avin...

Steve Bannon’s Nazi salute at CPAC was so upsetting France’s Far Right leader cancelled his speech at CPAC and hopped a plane back to France. When MAGA is too radical and Pro -Nazi for France’s Jordan Bardella we are all in trouble. Bannon knew exactly what he was doing. MAGA=Nazi #ProudBlue

Everyone needs to see this. Be ready to deny access, even if you don't know any immigrants. Let them waste time and you might save a family somewhere else. #Disobey #blue #fotus #FBR #immigrants #TruthWarriors #theresistance #resist #FBPE #FuckICE #SaveOurDemocracy #sanctuary #organize #fucktrump

Legend!! Thank you, Governor Mills! Would love to see this kind of courage from #NewJersey politicians.

Just saw this meme and it's Calvin Robinson erasure honestly.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Today would have been my dear friend John Lewis's 85th birthday. In times like these, we ought to look to John's example — his unflinching courage in standing up for what was right. I miss John every day. Let's honor him by continuing his fight.

Addlepated goon.

Republican Senators who voted for RFK Jr. have the best healthcare in the world, paid for by you. They don’t care about what’s going to happen to your kids, your parents, or you.

YES!!!!⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Dear business owners that voted for Trump, You could have had $50K in capital and a robust SBA. Instead, DOGE is cancelling all your government contracts and putting you out of business so he can have the contracts for himself.

wearing sunglasses inside and following an event where he at times had a hard time speaking coherently, Elon Musk walks off the CPAC stage waving around a chain saw. this is the guy currently running our government. Congrats, America!

🚨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!

Science (and science policy, and conservation) friends, I need your help! We are collecting *specific, clear* examples of harms caused by the Trump administration's attacks on science, to be included in an open letter. Can be links to news stories/social media posts. 🧪🦑🌎 #SciComm #SciPol

I missed this one: CNN filed a FOIA request for some information about DOGE accessing records at the office of personnel management, and someone from OPM wrote back saying "Good luck with that, they just fired the whole privacy team." newrepublic.com/post/191663/...

Mike Pence rebuffed Trump's requests to aid in his Jan. 6th coup. JD Vance says he'd go along. Bill Barr rejected Trump's lies about the 2020 election. Pam Bondi was one of the liars. Chris Wray refused to support Trump's election-fraud lies. Kash Patel claims there was fraud. Trump's dream team:

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

NEW: Scott Curtis spent three decades in the Navy. He retired as a captain, then took a leadership job in FEMA. When Musk's "fork in the road" email came out, Curtis opted to take the resignation offer. But this week he was fired anyway. Sam Stein talked to him: www.thebulwark.com/p/musk-doge-...

Never write this off as just teasing and trolling, goofing and goading. Not from him. It's probing. It's "softening up." You normalize talking about a third Trump term, then over time people become acclimated to the possibility. "Haha" becomes "Sure, why not?" becomes "Let's make this happen."

listen to this. Elon can barely form a sentence right now.

Waiting for the MSM to do this story— cancelled flights, vacation homes sold, trips changed, grocery boycotts. Why aren’t we hearing more @cbcnews-rss.bsky.social @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @nytimes.com @npr.org @msnbc.com

Say goodbye to mail-in ballots and any reliable mail service. Control communications. Control the populace. Straight out of the authoritarian rule book.

Just as jarring as Trump's pro-Russia foreign policy pivot has been his embrace of Putin-like tactics at home, unfolding with a speed and ferocity far different than what Trump was able to pull off in his first term. Call it the Putinization of America. www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

You want to know why we lost the last election? In this moment when we must be fighting Republicans I want you to look at the people engaging in attacking Democrats instead. Search "Hakeem Jeffries" and look at the accounts click farming and capitalizing on peoples anxiety.

In November, @alanhalaly.bsky.social profiled Riley Rackliffe, an NPS aquatic ecologist, whose job included monitoring Nevada's Lake Mohave for toxic algae blooms. (you can guess where this story is going...) @altnps.bsky.social

Shoring up their bets with the soft “sig hail” rather than the passionate, hard “sig hail” so the deniers can keep their plausible in tact.
