Someone you have never watched Schoolhouse Rock, and it shows.

“These firings are not about poor performance..." "They are about power. They are about gutting the federal government, silencing workers, and forcing agencies into submission to a radical agenda that prioritizes cronyism over competence.”

This makes so much sense

"Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses"

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol. We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.

Bernie Sanders: "The struggle against Trump, the struggle against oligarchy, which is led by Elon Musk ... that's not gonna be won here in Capitol Hill. It's gonna be won by millions of people all over this country standing up and saying, 'we fought and died for democracy.'"

Beware!

So the plan is to burn it all down so they have an excuse to privatize government functions and dole it all out to their fat cat buddies, foreign and domestic? Make it all "for profit" and definitely not "for the people?" Got it.

JD Vance owns AcreTrader, an app that lets wealthy—often foreign—investors buy up U.S. farmland. Guess who’s deliberately tanking farm economies so JD and his billionaire tech buddies can scoop it up for pennies. civileats.com/2024/09/18/j...

"It had gotten so aggressive, Carranza was meeting with a school counselor multiple times a week. Her family, however, was never notified." Quit raising your children to be assholes. ...

While I hold the deepest respect for those who are refusing illegal and/or immoral orders, can you please all stop resigning? I get it can be a strong form of protest, but you are leaving openings for them to place loyalists in those vacancies. Make them drag you out, kicking and screaming!

Veterans make up nearly a third of civilian federal workers, the vast majority of whom are employed to assist veterans and the military.

The Times spoke to people being trapped inside a Panama hotel after deportation from the US and the individual stories of horror are almost too much to bear www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

“If you think fertilized eggs are people but parents who've crossed oceans with their kids aren't, stop pretending your concerns are religious.”

I know I'm baffled 🙄💥

Not fake It's happening

These free speech absolutists sure have a problem when the target of the speech is them and their rich buddies. Here's an ad from @commoncause.bsky.social and @splcenter.org that the cowards at the @washingtonpost.com wouldn't run

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

Have that conversation. Set you fear aside. This is your Anne Frank moment.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

DOGE could save $18 billion by canceling Musk's SpaceX and Telsa subsidies.

The lawsuit alleges the migrants have been "disappeared into a black box" and are unable to communicate with attorneys.

Good morning. 🥶 It’s cold again in TX. Everywhere, really (non-weather related). Also dealing with medical issues on the home front so won’t be online much. But want to leave you with this: No, you’re not crazy. It’s all happening. We see it. We feel it. But we are legion. 🗣️

What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.
