Posted by @1goodtern.bsky.social: “I think it's worth saying this again: If you're an American general today and you're being asked to work on invasion plans for any other country -Canada Mexico Panama Greenland- you need to walk to your nearest microphone and start talking right now.”

They called him Sleepy Joe because we could sleep at night.

Also no funding for Musk-related businesses.

Vance is completely wrong here. US military sales to Ukraine served as a catalyst to rebuild our production capacity for our own potential military needs. I bet you'll never hear him say the same thing about US missiles fired to defend Israel, though that did deplete short-term stocks.

An apt analogy.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

And who determines what the executive’s legitimate power is, JD? The executive?! Come on. Let me put it in terms you’d get. It’s like football. The judges are the refs, and they say whether you’re in or out of bounds. And Musk is waaaaaay out of bounds with these takeovers of our systems.

I stand with the trans community, too.

Absolutely despicably cruel.

Question: if people from other countries (and even from the US) will be deported to El Salvador, what assurance does anyone have that they will not be forced into gangs, slavery, sex work, etc? How is this different from human trafficking?

WTAF?!!

This!

We are now over 20,000 strong. I need every proud and determined Canadian to reach out to their family, friends, colleagues to sign the pledge for Canada. Each one reach one. Each one teach one. Donald will not break us. True. North. Strong. Free #strongasfuck actionnetwork.org/petitions/pl...

@warren.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social and every other elected official, please take action. Democracy is crumbling.

"I'm scared for these federal employees. I want to warn everyone, I'm not sure Trump will obey the courts!" -Tim Waltz There is no one, anywhere, who will "save" us. If this attempt to overthrow the United States government ends, it will be because American citizens stop it.

Learn the name Curtis Yarvin....fast. That's who JD Vance has been quoting lately. Curtis Marvin promotes deleting our government, Constitution...and the whole system and "Getting over the Dictator phobia." 1/2

The Trump administration emailed all federal employees tonight, offering a buyout for early retirement. They are in the process...right NOW...tonight....of attempting to demolish the entirety of our government.

Jim Acosta is a man of integrity. What a great message he has for those of us who will not obey in advance.

🚨NEW: New York Attorney General Letitia James has announced she will be suing the Trump Administration over his illegal freezing of federal aid, becoming the first official in the U.S. to take action. REPOST to thank Attorney General James for standing up for our democracy!

This is insane: White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is making it clear that Donald Trump is not a president but a king.

In his parting message @jimacosta.bsky.social said we should all post: I will not give into the lies. I will not give into the fear. We understand the assignment, Jim. And fuck @cnn.com.

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

Repost this!

Democrats, don’t coddle him, don’t flatter him, don’t laugh at him, don’t appease him, don’t try to work with him. OPPOSE him. He’s a cruel, divisive, dishonest, lawless authoritarian. OPPOSE him. That’s all. Call him out for the un-American threat he is. Do it. Every day. Grow a spine. OPPOSE him.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus on Trump’s claim that Canadians would get better healthcare as the 51st state: This is my health card. I just walk into a hospital, give them my card, and I get free coverage. That’s how health care is delivered here. We don’t have people who pay and people who are denied.

Doing nothing is NOT an option.

The Contrarian offers no BS reporting in this time of mis- and dis-information.

BOOM! Bishop Mariann Budde has responded to her critics who told her to apologize to Donald Trump. “I am not going to apologize for asking for mercy for others.” Smash that repost if you agree she owes Trump ZERO apologies!! 🦋

If your spouse needs a safe word with her friends to protect herself from you, you should be in therapy. Or in prison. Not the Secretary of Defense.

If CBS settles this BS case, the money they pay Trump will pale in comparison to the drop in ratings they will experience.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka: ICE agents, during a warrantless raid, detained undocumented residents as well as citizens. “One of the detainees is a U.S. military veteran who suffered the indignity of having the legitimacy of his military documentation questioned.” www.northjersey.com/story/news/e...
