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)

Rep. Grothman (R-WI): President Trump has done some very good things Crowd: Booooo

Outstanding ……………🤭

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

The 71st Jaeger Brigade repelled a massive Russian mechanized attack in the Pokrovsk direction. Several pieces of heavy equipment were destroyed.

Remember Rosie the Riveter? She’s thriving in Ukraine.

The People’s Hotline is blowing up on social media. Clips of YOUR CALLS are reaching MILLIONS of Americans. 🚨 We are looking for real, personal stories about how the Trump Administration is impacting you and your family. 🚨 These calls are cutting through the noise. Please call & PASS IT ON!

I heard someone compare Trump’s mass firings to him being a bull in a china shop. I disagree. Trump is a like a bull in a VA hospital. Trump is like a bull in an assisted living facility. Trump is like a bull in an Alzheimer’s research center. Trump is like a bull in a NICU.

Occupied Mariupol. The "liberated" by Russians Azovstal stands today among the city's ruins. Russian propaganda plans to turn it into a "post-industrial park tourist attraction," creating a main tourist destination in Donbas, built on the bones of war victims and fierce battles for the site.

“The UK didn’t have a general election for 10 years because of WW2 - that doesn’t make Winston Churchill a dictator. Zelensky has not banned opposition parties - just the ones openly pro-Russian, just like we banned the fascist party when Hitler was bombing the shit out of us on the nightly basis.”

🫡🇺🇸 "Americans do not swear an oath to a king, a tyrant or a dictator. We swear an oath to the Constitution and the idea of ​​America, for which we are willing to die," — Mark Milley ❗️He said that every US military member gives his life to protect the Constitution, not to individuals.

The book by Professor @timothysnyder.bsky.social outlines how we can fight tyranny, published in 2017 during the first Trump administration. Read the list here with short explanations, or just read the short book itself: scholars.org/contribution...

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Trump’s EO ruining the independence of federal agencies shows the real goal of Musk and Trump is not efficiency or even winning the culture wars. It’s thievery. And they are *exceptional* thieves. My latest in @thenation.com

A Friday article from me to you, this time referencing rumors of a general/admiral purge in the US military. www.thebulwark.com/p/dont-purge...

⚡️🇩🇪🇺🇸 German Foreign Minister Baerbock threatens the U.S. with a severing of ties over Trump’s remarks on Zelensky and Ukraine. "We will increase pressure on the Americans to make them realize they have a lot to lose if they stop supporting Europe's liberal democracies," Baerbock stated.

The premise of American foreign policy to Ukraine, today, is one of grievance. It is worth patiently considering the proposals. They reveal little about Ukraine, but much about America in February 2025. snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...

Hey everyone! I did an emergency live over on Substack, reminding us all that we will win this thing! Take a look! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

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

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds. Gov Mills: See you in court

Many of you will be thinking it, if nothing further

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.
