The US government is now nonstop performative idiocracy.

When my Dad was over at Christmas he told me that in the town he grew up in, to this day, which pub you go to drink in is still defined by which side of the Miners Strike you were on in 84/85. Just a quick reminder that you don't have to forgive or forget, the people who betray you and your class.

The week in review:

Our latest: The Resistance is alive and well and angry. Please consider reading and sharing. No paywall.

Just to be clear, this dangerous, yet ridiculous, fascist propaganda is depicting Donald Trump, not as Julius Caesar, but as Caligula.

Not all heroes wear capes 🤣🔥

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

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.

Let me know if you agree Trump deserves to be called out! 💙

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.

🎯💯

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

Los Angeles peeps—spread the word about ICE. We won’t know for sure until it happens, but better safe than sorry. Be prepared.

trump, by the numbers: 3 days since flood 2 days of golfing 11 laps in Daytona $5 million taxpayer dollars 14 dead in Kentucky 77 Truth Social posts ZERO posts about the Kentucky victims. NOT. ONE.

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

A dictatorship that kills people from democracies if they say something inconvenient hosting another dictatorship that does the same and a country run by a wannabe dictator who wants people jailed for saying anything inconvenient gathered to decide the fate of a democracy that wasn’t even invited?

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

That’s the ticket. Show up in court, with your Bar licenses on the line, and answer a judge’s pointed and specific questions on how this deal went down.

Proof that Lindy Li has been a fraud all along. Guess who she voted for? Wait for it…

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

The amount of secondhand embarrassment I have even just watching this is through the roof.

... “total shutdown” is planned for March 15... Website for the General Strike: generalstrikeus.com OPPOSE! PLEASE REPOST!

We shouldn’t have patience for Dems who refuse to hold the line. We’re the opposition party—everything should be about obstruction unless it benefits us. No more tolerance for those who won’t get on board. We tried that, it got us nowhere. “Don’t upset Joe Manchin, we need his vote. Same w/Sinema.”

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

ATTN: Probationary federal workers who have been fired, please read: federalworkerrights.com/2025/02/13/m...

Man...he literally nuked them from orbit. Thank God some people still remember their duty.

I dunno, it's just kind of a bummer to see every tiny thing you've ever worked and fought for in your life eradicated in the span of a few weeks by a cabal of smirking, sociopathic buffoons, y'know?

President Elon Musk holding court with India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In what universe does MAGA think our Founding Fathers wanted to have this unelected billionaire meeting with world leaders in the White House?

Valor Danielle Sassoon, Acting U.S. attorney for SDNY - refuses to drop Adams charges and resigns John Keller, Acting head of DOJ Public Integrity Section - refuses and resigns Kevin Driscoll, Acting head of DOJ Criminal Division - refuses and resigns www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

This one was censored in the US so not sure how many of you caught this before, but little X knows about the election rigging. Which is why Musk has effectively kidnapped him and doesn't allow him to be with his mother or other family.

@malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social response to Kanye West’s antisemitic Super Bowl ad. #StopHate

Deceased 🤣💀

This is just one of thousands of harrowing stories told about the U.S. Government abandoning Americans abroad in the USAID shutdown. This is Benghazi times a million. 1/

Mitch McConnell voting no on terrible cabinet picks because he doesn’t have to run for reelection is all the proof you need that we must have term limits. You shouldn’t only have a spine because you don’t have to run again. We are breeding chicken shit power hungry electeds.
