And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

If all it took was trans people being themselves to turn you into a Nazi, you were always a Nazi.

NEW: The importance of being litigious. Lawsuits matter — even when they might not "win." This afternoon, at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/the-import...

"It makes me sick to think of him profiting from such vile hate.”

If you have a: - Credit card - Checking account - Savings account - Mortgage - Car loan - Student loan - Venmo account The fight to protect the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is your fight.

She’s right, and if I can win so can you.

Donald Trump promised to let Elon Musk self-police his conflicts of interest. The result? Those investigating his companies have been fired. Cases against his companies have been dismissed. The corrupt self-dealing is staggering.

So ashamed by this.

This is 100%. Almost everything in the constitution is general or implied. The document literally says there's going to be a post office and congress is in charge of setting it up, deciding what it's rules are.

Pretty god-damned sad #Republicans, compromising the security of the #US to lick #Trump's ass. Trump and the Republicans ARE the ENEMY WITHIN! Wise up and rise up, Americans, before it's too late. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

All across the country, civil servants who worked in the federal government for a public good are risking their jobs to pushback against the Trump Administration. Here are some of their stories.

"Don't call me a dick." - Elon Musk, dick

This question needs to be answered: Why haven't all living former Presidents stepped up and shown collective rejection of the fascist takeover of America? Americans need to see this. - Devin Duke

This should be our rallying cry. Every civil servant, every law enforcement officer, every soldier, every intelligence official, diplomat, all federal employees who serve our country- never forget this.

Republicans don't even want US voters to be handed a bottle of water when they are in line to vote, but they are desperate for voters in Ukraine to come out and stand in line in a war zone. - Alex Cole

Blood money. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/w...

🇺🇦 "If you are so generous to Russia, why not give her a piece of your country? Why should any sovereign country satisfy Russia? Let me ask, on what basis does Russia deserve anything — especially someone else's territory?" - 🇵🇱 President Duda

“It’s as if we lost the war to US..” He wants to take resources from a country in war. How are we supposed to live? We have children. It’s as if US seeks to deprive us of our economic potential. It would finish us off, the same as America did with Red Indians” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

"Do you expect me to talk?" "No, Mr. Zelensky, I expect you to die"

“Russia is not a country forged by shared values, common beliefs or a unifying purpose — it is an empire assembled by force, bound together by lies and sustained through the theft of other peoples’ art, culture and history.” thehill.com/opinion/inte...

Zelenskyy should sign it and then refuse to implement it when he’s got what he wanted - just like Trump would do.

More CFPB news: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's employees have been told that the bureau's Washington HQ lease is cancelled and the agency has 30 days to vacate the building www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

I'm calling for a total and complete shutdown of Elon Musk fathering any more children until we can figure out what is going on.

Be clear about what you are seeing. The firing of these senior officers has nothing to do with competence. This is creating an oath of loyal by the Armed Forces to the Leader. We face an uncertain future.

hey look our FBI Director as of 6 hours ago

Here’s a quick summary of what we know about Bird Flu. Please reshare if you find it helpful!

If true then the US is now a genuine Russia-style mafia state. Russia extorts with energy-, the US with tech-dependence. I trust the conclusions we draw from this will also turn into a semblance of policy.

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

The proposal for a US takeover of the Gaza Strip would disrupt almost every foreign policy objective the Trump administration has in the Middle East.

“Was it because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know…” Trump fires Black joint chiefs chair Hegseth accused of “DEI woke shit” I know BlueSky is supposed to be all nice and positive, etc, but more people should be reading about stuff like this… www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Good @sulliview.bsky.social: reporters had better stand together against the bully in chief or they’ll go down separately. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Did you know, for example, that the Founders created their own “department of government efficiency” when they declared independence from British bureaucrats in 1776? They called it the Continental Congress, or “Congress” for short. Fortunately, the name isn’t currently in use.

I have so many smart colleagues answering this question in different ways and now you can find all their work together in one place.

not sure I’ve ever shared a Douglas Murray article before but this is crystal clear unambiguous truth nypost.com/2025/02/20/o...

New from my team at the @brennancenter.bsky.social on the disastrous effects the SAVE Act would have on American elections. The short version? The way tens of millions of Americans interact with elections would be totally upended 🧵 www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

The Trump administration has begun dismantling the nation’s defenses against foreign interference in voting, a sweeping retreat that has alarmed state and local election officials. via @stateline.org www.newsfromthestates.com/article/elec...

Mock this #MadKing mercilessly. Scribble his face out on every post, like those ancient civilizations that would wipe out statues of hated rulers. Every little action adds up. Protest. Show up at Republican events and lay into them for being cowards. #TeaPartyX1000 #Impeachtrump #resist

Just proactively evil. They go out of their way to needlessly hurt people.
