Where are the Democrats but also Where are the churches Where are the celebrities Where are the NGOs Where are the Universities Where are professional groups like AMA Where are the athletes Where are the unions What people/groups do and don’t do for next month determines our collective future

This is a great idea. I won't buy ANYTHING on Feb. 28. Anyone else in? 👇

He nails it.

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

The IRS will not allow a member of Elon Musk’s team to view individual tax returns while he works at the agency, according to a copy of an agreement laying out his temporary job assignment.

SCOOP: New Social Security chief was being investigated for leaking data to DOGE when Musk team tapped him. Sr officials placed him on paid leave while probing whether he may have violated privacy & tax laws, WaPo's Lisa Rein reports. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I sure hope there are secret meetings in what to do when musk/trump declare martial law and have the military in their pockets

One does wonder why the airlines are being quiet about this, considering that their asses are on the line here.

Usha Vance, is that you?

If you still have friends/family who think this administration will help them, talk to them about money....

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

ny times, the most well financed, praised news source on the planet, able to influence govts, institutions, etc: "here's some lie, dont fact check it, just trust us" me, who failed high school geometry, googling while waiting for a burger: "yeah, that's not true." www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Musk is a real liability for congressional GOP. Make them squirm.

The only reason the GOP is ‘panicking privately’ is because their constituents are yelling publicly. Otherwise they wouldn’t care. That means our organizing, our phone calls, our rallies, and our protests are working. Don’t let up on these cowards for one second. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

We are literally living “Idiocracy.”

"When reporters called this out, the DOGE team made a fascinating choice. Instead of fixing their error, they actually removed the correct document from their website and replaced it with the old, incorrect one. They are now deliberately posting false information to support the narrative."

Disappointing that the organizers ended the action a little after 7 instead of the advertised ending of 7:30

Does anyone think there is an uptick in burner phone sales and there are people in govt actively planning an action? 🤞

Here we go. Certain generals must be removed before any martial law plan is put into action—as Trump and Hegseth are worried there may still be some generals out there who support the Constitution rather than his proposed dictatorship. This is a political purge intended as a precursor to far more.

This pastel piece is much better. I realized it needed lights and not midtones )although I think the tree line may be too dark now) It’s a practice using different color palettes on the same subject. At the Chicago botanic garden. #art #chicagoartist

During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived. His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. Slava Ukraine! Heroyam Slava! 💙💛

“Masses of enraged, terrified people are looking at the analog, slow-motion leadership of Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer and the zero-calorie rhetoric of House leader Hakeem Jeffries and want them replaced by people who know how to fight.” [thenation.com]

State governments should cut off all state and local cooperation with the FBI, and they should do it immediately. No law requires it, the Constitution fully empowers you to not even return their calls. But there is no legitimate purpose now in treating them as an acceptable partner for anything.

This was just 233 days ago:

This is the life.

In Chicago? Join us TONIGHT(Thurs Feb 20) at our rally downtown to send our message to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who's in town for a book event. INFO HERE:

fantasizing about a world where an opposition congress responds to trump’s attempts to usurp legislative power by defunding the entire white house staff

What will it take for Obama, the Clinton’s, bush … actually take a stand in what is going on and take part in actions? #Cowards
