So after promising to focus on safety, theyā€™ve gotten right down to workā€¦ on gender terminology?

Is there anyone out there that is mapping any delayed or cancelled federal payments ? Would be really interesting to see which towns and cities are going to be hit

We win by uniting, not by cheering as our friends and allies get eaten by leopards. Even if they voted for the leopards. The resistance must absorb those hurt by the fascists, or there is no resistance. Because we will all be hurt by them in one way or another. The doors must stay open.

BREAKING via AP A federal judge early Saturday blocked Elon Muskā€™s Department of Government Efficiency from accessing Treasury Department records that contain sensitive personal data such as Social Security and bank account numbers for millions of Americans.

Why does it feel like the Death Eaters are taking over the ministry

The US Secretary of Homeland Security is banned from ~20% of the state that she lives in. Let that sink in.

A dark, lie-filled inaugural address. Cruel and unconstitutional executive orders. Billionaires saluting a fascist agenda. Heather Lofthouse and I break down Trump's first week back in power.

Secret Service agents, who for some reason identified themselves as ICE agents, arrived at the school searching for an 11-year-old who posted an anti-Trump video. WTAF is wrong with these assholes? blockclubchicago.org/2025/01/24/i...

@el-p.bsky.social we need you guys, man

So, he does understand how tariffs work....like duh

I'm listening to @aoc.bsky.social on The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart and holy shit! We must elevate her! She is our leader! She sees all the ridiculousness of the party that brought us here!

It was never about grocery prices.

Trump is now ordering health agencies to stop warning Americans about bird flu and to halt publication of scientific reports. This comes as egg prices are expected to skyrocket in the coming days.

Former D.C. police officer Michael Fanone on Trump pardoning violent Jan. 6 rioters: ā€œI have been betrayed by my country, & Iā€™ve been betrayed by those that supported Donald Trump, whether you voted for him because he promised these pardons, or for some other reason, you knew that this was comingā€

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

January 6 defendants and convicts are now being released. First, Matthew and Andrew Valentin. They pled guilty to multiple felonies in September 2024. Among other crimes, they both assaulted law enforcement officers by using pepper spray and using a chair to strike them.

This is just one of the approximately 1,500 people convicted in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack who were pardoned by Trump. šŸ˜”šŸ˜”

Another order rescinded 78 Biden-era executive actions, orders and presidential memoranda. They include a wide variety of actions related to racial equality, climate, migration and gender policy; the federal workforce; and Biden's recent move to take Cuba off the list of state sponsors of terrorism.

Elon Musk, Days in Government Job: 1 Elon Musk, Days Without Doing Multiple Public Nazi Salutes: 0

The President that supposedly ā€œbacks the blueā€ and is for ā€œlaw and orderā€ just pardoned thousands of traitors who took part in a violent insurrection that led to the deaths of multiple people.

If you donā€™t believe in science, believe your own damn eyes.

In case you missed it, American Nazis had no difficulty whatsoever understanding what Elon Musk was doing

This shake down of TikTok is Trumpā€™s long con. Trump started the TikTok ban, but has now flipped-flopped to play the hero while looking to enrich new owners (his donors). There is nothing in this post about protecting Americanā€™s data, Trumpā€™s original justification for the ban.

And so the bullshit begins. One day early.

Happy last day of America.

go buy a chopper and have a doctor on speed dial i guess

TikTok saying daddy Trump will save them, Netanyahu doing everything he can to delay the ceasefireā€¦ I donā€™t know. Almost like theyā€™re both just trying to make their friend look good.

What a shame. All that wasted money trump supporters spent to travel to the Capitol for the inauguration. Think of how many eggs they could have bought.

I donā€™t believe one person in his cabinet that says they will respect marriage equality as settled law and leave it alone. Three Supreme Court justices said the same thing about abortion and lied.

Thank you to Greater Manchester Police for helping keep vulnerable road users safe from this. There's a reason Tesla Cybertrucks are not legal in the UK and Europe; Cybertrucks present acute dangers to pedestrians and donā€™t meet European safety standards. The vehicle has been seized.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Donald Trump is too weak and fragile to have an outdoor inauguration ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha now the stupid fuck can't brag about his crowd size ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha oops I mean how terrible for Donald Trump

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring šŸ¤·šŸ˜†

Yep

There it is. Trumpā€™s Treasury nominee just said ā€œextendingā€ Trumpā€™s tax handouts for billionaires is their TOP priority: ā€œThis is the single most important economic issue of the day.ā€

The Cults greatest weapon is FEAR! The opposition party is consumed with fear. What they donā€™t realize it will not stop them. As throughout history there is one. Michelle Obama. The COURAGEOUS ONE in a sea of COWARDS. www.editorialboard.com/if-only-more...

I wonder how long it will take Trump to destroy the U.S. economy after President Biden fixed it following Trumpā€™s initial destruction?

MAGA: "Democrats control the weather, y'all!!!!" DEMOCRATS: "Oh, honey . . . if that were true, it would currently be *pouring* rain in LA and Mar-a-Lago would have been obliterated by 1,000 hurricanes in one week."

In ā€œ60 Minutesā€ interview, FBI Director Chris Wray emphasizes the many dozens of Jan 6 defendants whoā€™ve pleaded guilty to assaulting police officers

Dem Senator Jack Reed, the Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, after meeting with Peter Hegseth, Trumpā€™s nominee for Secretary of Defense: ā€œTodayā€™s meeting did not relieve my concerns about Mr. Hegsethā€™s lack of qualifications and raised more questions than answers.ā€
