The Pentagon will fire 5,400 civilian workers next week.

Gift link. A small unelected, secretive crew now has free access to sensitive private data of everyone. And Musk is already publicly targeting family members of judges who rule against the administration. If this isn’t ringing alarm bells, I don’t know what would. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

They are telling us, out loud, exactly how the 2026/28 elections will not be free & fair. They will go after vote by mail (bsky.app/profile/mira...). They will go after computer voting. They will then say we can't count all the paper ballots because it's taking too long & there must be fraud. Etc.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

How it started. How it’s going

This is good ammunition for talking/writing to your Senators & Representative. Amazing how much just within 50 miles of my rural county.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

Well now.

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant. Today:

I'm taking legal action to fight the Trump administration's efforts to gut the CFPB.   The CFPB protects Americans and ensures companies are following our consumer protection laws.   Eliminating it will hurt everyday people and benefit bad actors and billionaires like Elon Musk.

Lol

Humanity created a massive tool for social control and placed it in the hands of the worst people possible techcrunch.com/2025/02/19/s...

Aside from everything else it's just kind of funny that the CFPB is way over there on the left, meaning "companies shouldn't be able to scam you and take your money" is largely antithetical to conservatism

AOC speaking to a thousand people demonstrating against Trump's destruction of our federal work force She is the leader we need

I don’t often feel rage. That said, I’ve been getting pretty damn close, watching one of the few truly warrior like heroes in the world of leadership…Zelensky…being rat fucked by two of the biggest pieces of shit on the planet.

"[Musk] is trying to gut everything good in America for his own private profit. This is the culmination of what oligarchy is all about...the fusion and the capture of the billionaire class of our democracy." - @aoc.bsky.social with @fedworkersunited.bsky.social today #SaveOurServices

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

awwwww shit y'all, the flight attendants have entered the chat 🤘🤘🤘

This is probably a good time to point out that one big group of IGs Trump fired were busy finding $100s of billions in COVID fraud, enabled by Trump's own incompetence. Another big group fired were in charge of tracking spending in Ukraine. He literally fired people tracking problems with this $$.

3rd of federal workers are veterans. The federal government is largely a jobs program for them. This is who Trump and Musk are hurting with their callous, non-targeted DOGE cuts. We’re going to see a lot of Jobless vets.

Out of the 12,000 civil rights complaints the Education Department has put on hold since Trump took office: • 6,000 relate to mistreatment of disabled students • 1,000 are specific to sexual harassment/violence • 3,200 pertain to racial discrimination

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance
