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)

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result is demagoguery and corruption.

This. Is. Insane.

There are 3 special elections coming up and those 3 seats are the keys to stopping the Congressional Republicans doing Trump & Musk’s evil bidding. We need just 1 seat to block them, 2 seats to stop them, and with all 3 we can FLIP THE HOUSE. Join us!! Monday 2/24 @7:30 EST. 👇👇 mobilize.us/s/Y9NrBb

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

This hits hard.

DOGE’s expenses have risen above 40 million, with weekly costs now exceeding 10 million. We will release an updated DOGE staff list soon.

200 million dollars of waste.

This gets my vote for tweet/post of the year. This is a RED ALERT post. This is exactly why he’s doing it.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Wow! Congrats to Bluesky for passing the milestone of 32 MILLION users. Spread the word!! 💙🦋 bsky-users.theo.io

KEEP PUSHING! If they won’t do a town hall DEMAND ONE

Way to go, Sheryl!!

ICYMI Bravo to NY AG James + 18 other State AGs who fought & won! "A NY federal judge issued a preliminary injunction preventing members of Musk's Department of Government (In)efficiency from accessing the Treasury Department's central payment system" www.newsweek.com/letitia-jame...

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

A federal judge has extended the order keeping Elon Musk's DOGE out of Treasury Department payment systems, ruling that the Trump admin's process for granting access to the sensitive data was so flawed and haphazard that it was likely illegal.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

Literacy is activism. Reading is a political act. Books are tools for liberation.

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.

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.

To any American who doesn't comprehend what is happening to our country-- We are under attack! The right wing agenda is to destroy the progressive movement and replace it with autocracy. They realize that fair elections are bad for them. They would rather burn it down than give up power.

Wow! The number of @bsky.app users just passed 32 MILLION! 👏 LETS DO THIS!

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

wearing sunglasses inside and following an event where he at times had a hard time speaking coherently, Elon Musk walks off the CPAC stage waving around a chain saw. this is the guy currently running our government. Congrats, America!

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

This is really something

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?
