When Russia surrounded Ukraine with tanks and troops then invaded by land, sea and air, President Zelensky stayed in Kyiv to be with his people, declining offers from other countries to shelter him safely, knowing full well there was a bullseye on his back. Elon Musk really should shut the fuck up.

Unfortunately the people who didn't vote for him have to suffer too.🤬😢

Dark tidings as Kansas Statehouse overflows with anger, confrontation and confusion kansasreflector.com/2025/02/22/d... This sounds like a wake-up call to stop electing Republicans who are quick to inflict upon us new BS we don't want, but intend to block us from what we want and need, doesn't it?

Trump’s betrayal of Americans: He promised not to cut Medicaid—now he’s backing a House plan that slashes $880 billion from it. All to fund $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich. He doesn’t care if families drown in debt, as long as he & his billionaire buddies get richer. Don’t Cut My Medicaid!

Modern-Day Peaceful Protest… TikTokers are hunting Cybertrucks—pulling up behind them and projecting anti-Elon Musk messages onto the tailgate. What’s genius: the driver has zero rear visibility & zero idea. The Cybertruck Hunters account launched a week ago and already dropped a dozen videos.

This is huge breaking news. Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Chief of Naval Ops, Vice of the Air Force and all three JAG’s of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Watch this breaking news report we did for @votevets.org tonight. This is outragous. www.youtube.com/live/OdOjEdR...

I know math is hard, but are you Trump voters starting to see the picture yet?

What the fuck is it going to take America? It wasn't an election, it's a coup. 😳

TRUMP FUCKED YOU AGAIN TRUMP FUCKED FARMERS AGAIN TRUMP SCREWED FARMERS AGAIN TRUMP LIED TO THE NATION A FUCKING LIER

Remember the good old days of billionaires? They minded their own business and did their crazy crap behind closed doors.

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

My new favorite drug is Republican members of Congress getting yelled at in their districts by constituents who hate Musk.

U.S. military leadership must speak out firmly against the growing political instability in this country, and Trump’s efforts to build praetorianism within our government. Trump’s ultimate goal is authoritarian rule.

📌It’s about time ALL our retired military flag officers started showing some damn leadership by speaking out against this authoritarian attack on our nation. You know damn well that what is happening right now is WRONG.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

After sending over 400 ICE agents to Denver and Aurora, CO, and knocking on hundreds of Americans' doors, ICE made only one arrest. Now, Trump has removed the Acting ICE Director, Caleb Vitello. (WaPo)

folks...

OREGON: “The house & senate are totally abdicating their responsibilities.” @RepBentz (R) is the latest Republican to get confronted by constituents at a town hall. (Tennessee folks— town halls are these things where senators/reps show up and you can talk to them in person)

Todays hero

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Corruption isn't normal. KEEP UP PRESSURE ON EVERY GQP ELECTED... FEDERAL & STATE. Send support to Dems fighting back, share your ideas for resistance. Keep up your own resistance activities & do even more with www.fieldteam6.or/all-voluntee... demcast.com/team/ #USDemocracy #DemVoice1

It’s a cult.

There’s something happening in this country.

I'm just saying...

Mitch McConnell, having toiled for four decades to destroy or demean everything that actually made America great, announces his retirement. Good riddance.

The ‘real’ reason they are gutting the IRS…👇 Are you paying ATTENTION, yet?!

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory Here’s another great chart by @steverattner.bsky.social showing that the House GOP plans to cut about 10% from Medicaid & about 20% from SNAP, all while raising deficits by $2.8 trillion to pay for the wealthy tax cut renewals.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

How much money would it save the government if they seized all Musk’s assets and deported his ass? DOGE seems to be overlooking the obvious in favor of cruelty.

You don't need me to tell you, but the USPS is one of the most purely good things we have in this country. It's truly so beautiful that sometimes I get overwhelmed thinking about it. It's so, so important. It could be better, yes, but that requires FUNDING IT. It needs money to be good.

Musk: “If he loses I’m fucked” WHY would Musk say that? WHAT has he done? Watch it while available because it keeps getting stopped. Watch the second video with Musk and Tucker. Please repost!🙏 www.threads.net/@cloudyinvas...

Trump, Musk, and Republicans are full of it.

I mean- If we're serious about saving money......

It was never about saving money was it? It was always about stealing money.
