BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Federal career workers: We appreciate you and your work. You don't deserve this mistreatment. Here's a file with lots of resources if you are facing illegal termination. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Out of work? MSF is looking for folks!

It's not lost on me that the two Democratic electeds talking consistently to regular people right now are AOC and Jasmine Crockett. Dassit.

We're in the find out phase that blue states support welfare in red states.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

I try to keep the language on here… PG… but in this case i can’t. You, Trump, are a traitorous piece of shit

Fun Fact: You must verbally assert your right to remain silent. "I am exercising my Fifth Amendment right to remain silent and I want to speak to a lawyer."

Fact checking Trump’s Russian talking points:

He’s been a Russian asset for years. U.S. voters are morons tbh

Pure incompetence from the Musk-Trump regime.

They were never going to lower prices. They never cared about egg prices. It's the same lie as CRT. They want us chasing their bullshit while the real mission is to disassemble the government so the rich can get richer. They are on a mission to destroy it all. It's beyond a coup.

In South Carolina, tonight: “I have an ectopic pregnancy. It’s on my ovary. They’re making me risk my ovary even though I don’t want to. They refuse to do the surgery.” #ForcedBirthNation Original Post: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2yCKENt/

Normal countries don't allow coups.

I think it's worth calling Twitter "X", if only to differentiate the levels of openness and degrees of fascism. Twitter was never perfect, but the walled garden it's become is not Twitter. TwXXer? Oh, now I get why he loves "X", because X is like a swastika! 🤪 #CyberpunkDystopia

The Musk-Trump Regime is incompetent.

Because of veterans hiring preferences, a DEI initiative, most of my previous federal coworkers were military veterans.

Maga folks literally cannot have a convo about any topic without making a transphobic comment. They will find a way to tie it in, or will simply bring it up cold.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

Brazil shows that it can be done. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

Move fast, kill Americans. Our enemies are cheering.

Our family was spending $500+/month at Target. Not anymore. We've already replaced them with companies that take an ethical stance, instead of obeying a fascist regime in advance. #BoycottTarget #DoNotObeyInAdvance Shout-out to #Costco !!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9toc...

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

DOGE in practice: Disabled Army veteran who has 4 kids and did 3 tours overseas is fired from his job at Bronx VA hospital

True story: a few years ago, I was being interviewed by a reporter for the New York Times. I mentioned the history of eviction statutes and how they tied into Jim Crow. The reporter asked "what's Jim Crow?" When I explained, the reporter didn't believe me and said the US wouldn't do that.

Interesting data in light of current events. More about welfare queen Elon Musk: www.profgalloway.com/elon-musk-we...

When my class was elected in 2010, we cut congress’ own budget and our personal ones by about 10 percent. This one should cut theirs by about 20, and each office should lay off a couple employees. Same DOGE is requiring. Make every @gop answer

Government funding expires March 14 and there's a chance they'll need Democratic votes to prevent a shutdown so that could be a good time to demand that Musk and his teens are out of government and an impartial investigation into what they've done thus far

Target's shareholders lost $15 billion of net worth in their holdings of Target common stock when Target announced they were dropping DEI initiatives.

The Wheel from Jesse Welles was just the musical lift I needed today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mv3C...

Idea for a new reggae tune about my own private utopia: "Plenty Egg, No Plane Crash."

We are all children of the universe.

Musk is firing people who operate the Veterans Crisis Line. One of the most substantial and successful tools to fight veteran suicide today. They literally did a 2014 documentary about it that won an Oscar. Can someone point me to the outrage from the MAGA “we love the troops” crowd?

No more kings on Presidents Day! #SchoolhouseRock www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvOZ...

U.S. gonna spend $400M on these, and then armor them? #Tesla #CyberStuck

The mafia state makes no pretense of defending the common good. Trump, Musk and their minions are swiftly repealing executive orders regarding health, environmental and safety regulations, food assistance, as well as child care programs such as Head Start.
