A rogue DOJ… Pardons for Jan6 treasonous acts were inexcusable. Broaden the scope to include drugs, guns…and child porn manufacturing/possession of child porn? Abuse of judicial power. www.npr.org/2025/02/20/n... Criminals supported by bigger criminals. This is our country. #SheShed

Why fire thousands of park rangers if not to privatize our national forests for logging and mining tech minerals?

Friday’s New York Post. When you’ve lost the Murdochs.

Because of DOGE, countless Americans are going to die.

@shutdown315.bsky.social We have more power than we think. If we don't respond now, there may be no later. 💥Call your MOCs (202) 224-3121 💥Use @resist.bot or 5calls.org 💥Connect w/ activist orgs @Indivisible.org @workingfamilies.org @moveon.org @50501movement.bsky.social @shutdown315.bsky.social

We are nearing a precipice.

This is probably the most accurate take.

NEW: NY Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins calls on Mayor Adams to resign. New Yorkers, please make your call to Gov Hochul! While you’re dialing please call Schumer’s office and ask him to step aside as leader - he’s a joke!

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

THREAD: Trump's intentionally flooding the news cycle w/ a stream of outrage porn to distract, scare, & confuse. These are the stories that actually matter that you might've missed this week: NIH funding cuts jeopardize ‘life-saving’ research in AL aldailynews.com/nih-funding-...

Doing the unthinkable: The deep cuts to the #CDC's workforce today are expected to decimate the Epidemic Intelligence Service, a program that has trained public health rapid responders for decades. Envy of the world. Poof! www.statnews.com/2025/02/14/t...

Suggesting arrest for @aoc.bsky.social because she’s educating folks about their #constitutionalrights is absurd. ICE is overstepping.

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

Trump has deemed the Legislative Branch of government neutered, powerless and inept. We're watching a dictator destroying America's constitutionally governed democracy. And the media is treating it like some routine policy shift instead of the absolute gutting of our democracy.

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.

This is not just a musing from a dude with some various ideas. The next step is to hollow out the judiciary and also not follow their rulings, which have been against Musk’s efforts. This is a very obvious coup, for those not paying attention.

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in
