I’m the dairy farmer running to replace Elise Stefanik in New York’s 21st Congressional District. Can you repost this, give me a follow, and help spread the word?

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

Please stop shaming federal workers for their decisions to stay and fight or resign in protest. You don't know their lives or what they have the privilege of doing. It's like yelling at a rape survivor for not reporting.

(📢) This is an ASK ME ANYTHING (AMA) post—my first one in over a year, I think. Ask me any question, on any topic, and I will answer it honestly. (The only rule here is that you have to retweet this post before you ask your question, so that there will be at least _some_ audience for the answers.)

Reminder for today: The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering the event, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.

This is Oligarchy. The three richest men in the world have become $196 BILLION richer since Donald Trump was elected. $196 billion for three men in 99 days. Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States. If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does. Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

You might have missed it, but Amazon warehouse workers in Raleigh, NC are voting this week on whether to form a union. If they win, they'll be the first unionized Amazon facility in the South. Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.

If Trump and the GOP extend their 2017 tax cuts, the top 1% will make out like bandits — taking home an extra $165 per day. But the bottom 60% will get shafted — getting only an extra $1.10 per day in exchange for massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. It's reverse Robin Hood.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They make sure we have clean water. They protect us from financial fraud. They provide healthcare to our communities. They make our government actually work for people. Do not forget this.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

Insiders are blowing the whistle on Kash Patel, claiming that Donald Trump’s appointee to run the FBI lied to Congress during his confirmation hearings and is already directing a “purge” of the bureau while he’s still a private citizen.

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.

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

Our parks are in chaos. We’ve seen firsthand how Trump’s hiring freeze, the rescinding of hundreds of job offers, and the layoff of 5% of NPS staff have left us overwhelmed and short-handed.

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.

He’s been co-POTUS for 4 weeks. Not even a month. And they’re already calling for the likely future leader of the Democratic Party—a nonwhite woman—to be put in a cage. Twitter has many tweets like the one below. Everyone needs to understand: America is on very limited time now. Fascism is here.

Correct. This is a President of the United States declaring himself a dictator. And instead of Americans understanding that we’re now under imminent threat of martial law and tyranny, we’ll get a month of think pieces about what the President of the United States meant by his UNAMBIGUOUS statement.
