Anonymous announces: We will no longer be referring to Donald Trump as Trump, or Donald - we will be calling him "Krasnov". And so say all of us!! 🤣

In the UK they acknowledge Israel's US funded war crimes and Netanyahu's close friendship with Trump and Putin. Protestors carried a banner reading: "From Ukraine To Palestine, Occupation is a Crime" (📷 @UkraineSol ) #3E #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity #UKprotests #StandWithUkraine

Per @juliadavisnews.bsky.social: “The Trump administration wants revenues from Ukraine’s natural resources, according to a draft obtained by The New York Times, with no security guarantee in exchange. Some of the terms appear even worse than in a previous draft.”

Did you know? Republicans want to cut $880 BILLION from Medicaid to pay for a massive $4.5 TRILLION tax cut for their billionaire donors! Let that sink in for a minute…

🚨🚨 BIG NEWS today in my #FOIA lawsuit against the FBI revolving around the Trump classified documents case.

I'm here outside the Tesla showroom in Devon, Pa. west of Philly where about 10 hearty souls are protesting unelected billionaire Elon Musk #TeslaTakedown

FUN FACT: maga is the minority maga is the minority maga is the minority maga is the minority maga is the minority AND The resistance is the MAJORITY! We will defeat you as your only plan is destroying our country while lining your pockets. Keep flooding the zone. We’re watching & we will win!!

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

Really good. READ @legaldefensefund.bsky.social ‘s analysis.

A lesson in how claims of meritocracy as justification for opposing DEI are often cover for the demand that we return to a system of preference for white men - whatever their qualifications. Fire a qualified Black man. Hire a statutorily unqualified white man. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

As part of his bogus "energy emergency," our Outlaw Prez has ordered all EV charging stations in federal bldgs to be shut down & ordered the General Services Administration to sell the EVs it has newly bought. Just one more example of Trumpian numbskullery & jackassery. electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

He nails it.

I have to say I find the sexism of people's opposition to Pam Bondi grotesque. Not only is it sexist, but it leads you all to wildly underestimate her.

More Good News For Us That’s Bad For Trump We all could use some good news after another week of the Trump and Musk madness. And that’s what I’ve got for you today. I hope it gives you a break from this chaos—even if just for a moment.

I replied to this last night and I'm going to send one more slightly desperate post now. My ex is really terrified of this move and this fundraiser is basically the only carrot I have. Every dollar makes it easier for me to get my trans daughter to safety before puberty. gofund.me/8664c1dc

Wait. It gets worse: "The new document states that the revenues will be directed to a fund in which the United States holds 100 percent financial interest, and that Ukraine should contribute to the fund until it reaches $500 billion....The US has allocated $119 billion for aid to Ukraine."

probably fine right

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Imagine my surprise when Babymama #4 showed up looking for her loot from the Ketamine King.

I keep thinking about Trump saying that he needed the kind of generals that Hitler had.

On Wednesday I was the first to report Leland Dudek was on the verge of losing his job at the Social Security Administration when he was suddenly promoted to acting commissioner by Elon Musk. Thursday I published a story with more details. I’ll let you guess if I got any credit in this Post story:

The destinations we seek are like stars in the night sky. They shine in the distance and entice us with their brilliance. But the real treasure lies not in reaching them, but in striving for them. It is the journey itself that shapes us, that makes us who we are.

Don’t be a nice person…

Imagine being too far-right and Nazi-like for the French far-right: "French far-right leader cancels US speech after ex Trump aide Bannon appeared to make 'Nazi gesture'"

It's time to make a deck of cards for the Trump regime and their oligarch overloads

I am very politically active and write/call my congressman often. I have lived in his district for almost 2 decades. I have never seen him in person and it’s not for a lack of trying. No town halls. No visiting his district. I’ve never seen hide nor hair of Sam Graves.

When the stupid reveals itself..once again.. We don’t do kings, no matter how hard you try, asshole 🖕🏻 #SheShed

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

After mixed results covering it with tulips, they went with this. Those wily Dutch.

Daily reminder of who Musk is:

They keep showing us exactly who they are.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

When Trump names unqualified loyalist Pete Hegseth as defense secretary and purges our top military leaders, it raises rational fears that he wants a military willing to train its guns on American citizens upon his orders.

Valuing diversity is not a crime Installing white men in every position of power is not a meritocracy
