If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be legislators right now. We need them to be politicians. There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.

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)

Trump’s Pentagon purge has included the top military lawyers. Nobody should be surprised. Dictators politicize the military. Trump wants those with the biggest guns loyal to him, not the Constitution He says he’s demilitarizing it. I call BS. Orwellian to the core. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Trump military purge. Any Congressional Democrats telling themselves they can sit back and wait for Republicans to tank the midterms are delusional. We need full opposition mode, including supporting mass rallies and direct action. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Memo to Democrats: If EVERY ONE of you would do what Janet Mills did yesterday EVERY TIME, Trump would unravel entirely. He relies on you being bullied. Refuse to be.

He wants Elon to hurt more people, even as his poll numbers are down not up: www.instagram.com/reel/DGTS6V4... There’s a book about leaders counting on the truth not reaching their supporters. It’s called ‘1984’ — forget “Truth Social”, it’s “Ministry of Truth Social”

What a fucked-up framing from the #BrokenPost. Trump is surrendering Ukraine and the West to Putin but here the burden is on Zelensky to "salvage his relationship." Can Zelensky salvage his relationship with Trump and save Ukraine? wapo.st/4it7ZS3

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

So the President has abruptly fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Charles Q. Brown Jr., and is replacing him with a retired three star general, Dan Caine. This portends a future grave crisis as the President attempts to restructure the military into one personally loyal to him.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

It’s been a long fucking day, I’m tired, and I misspoke. Let me rephrase it in a more correct way. Fuck Hakeem Jeffries and almost every other elected Democratic official for forcing me to be the one to get arrested instead of them doing their goddamn job and being leaders.
