WOW!!

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

!!!!!!!!!

Jamie Raskin is 🔥

Hello everyone.

🤦🤷🍸

Focus on now. PAY ATTENTION TO THE MEN BEHIND THE CURTAIN. They've opened the curtain, and are dancing on the FUCKING TABLE. Generalstrikeus.com

More than 8,000 web pages across more than a dozen U.S. government websites have been taken down since Friday afternoon, a NYT analysis found. The purges have removed info about vaccines, veterans' care, hate crimes, and scientific research, among many other topics. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/u...

Elon is mad about what USAID did to help end Apartheid…but wait until we have our own Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

None of this is legal.

So lets recap: - Trump announces tariffs. - Allies turn against the U.S., launch boycotts on U.S. products and boo us at events. - Markets nosedive. - Trump caves. The "deals": - Mexico agrees to do the same things they always do at the border to help the U.S. (including under Biden) 1/

Congratulations to Trump on securing a $1.3 billion border security deal from Canada.... which was already negotiated in December 2024.

TRUMP TRADE WAR UPDATE: Colombia: Lasted 4 hours - Trump accepts what was already offered. 🇨🇴 Mexico: Lasted one weekend - Trump accepts worse than before. 🇲🇽 Canada: Lasted one weekend - Trump accepts what was already agreed. 🇨🇦 Two-step process established: 1. Try to look tough 2. Just fold 🤡

Marco Rubio's new acting undersecretary of state for public diplomacy, ladies and gentlemen.

BREAKING: Trump has signed an executive order creating a Sovereign Wealth Fund- popular with Middle East monarchies - so the U.S. can buy TikTok. That’s state-run media, folks. www.reuters.com/markets/weal...

People are getting up off the mat.

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

Trump is torching the economy, whilst dismantling federal agencies and purging all dissenters. The world’s richest man has been given full access to the federal treasury, which controls trillions in payments & holds sensitive personal data on millions. This is happening. This is a state coup.

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

Well done for making it to the end of January. Stop whatever you're doing and read a book to reward yourself. If you don't have a book, then buy one from an indie bookshop, that way you'll be making TWO people happy.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

Great news for the Great State of Michigan!

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

From monumental legislative successes to steady leadership amid our nation’s greatest challenges, Joe Biden gave us 4 years of reunification, recovery, and revitalization. Trump will try to steal the credit, but it was Biden who delivered it for us. Thank you, President Biden.
