Wow

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

In a statement issued late Friday, Mills said, "Do not be misled: this is not just about who can compete on the athletic field, this is about whether a president can force compliance with his will, without regard for the rule of law that governs our nation." https://buff.ly/3Qwpghc

The truth is a crime now.

This is a drug addict who can barely put together a sentence.

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

Maine Governor Janet Mills is reportedly considering a run for the U.S. Senate against GOP incumbent Susan Collins. After taking on Donald Trump today, she’s shown that she has what it takes to win this race. ========================

A little story about repression and why I've never treated arrests as something anyone should do: for those of you who don't remember, Occupy Wall Street was a massive movement that was centered around encampments that popped up in city centers across the US (and Canada and UK) from Sept to Nov 2011

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

Found some waste, fraud and abuse: "We’re going to run a marketing campaign" "The ad campaign amounts to an extremely expensive taxpayer-funded propaganda blitz to scare off migrants and to flatter Trump on television." www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

They are monsters!

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.

Idiocracy was a documentary

"The state of Maine will not be intimidated by the president's threats," Gov. Janet Mills said after a public exchange over Trump's attack on trans athletes. www.commondreams.org/news/trump-t...

Iconic, Janet Mills. Iconic. Shop Now ➝ thatgayguycandlecompany.com

See you in court': Trump and Maine governor clash over trans athlete order Basically, Maine’s Gov Janet Mills tells Trump to STFD. Ba a Janet, not an Orange Turd.

“In America, the President is neither a King nor a dictator, as much as this one tries to act like it — and it is the rule of law that prevents him from being so,” Mills said. 💪🏽

Gov. Janet Mills not opting for Susan Collins-style acquiescence, it seems. #MEpolitics

Democratic governors should have all walked out together midway through that meeting but especially after Trump's attack on Gov. Janet Mills. I don't know why they didn't. Makes no sense.

REPOST if you stand with Maine Governor Janet Mills against Donald Trump!

Go, Janet!

One more time for the people in the back: Trump does not give a f*ck about working folks!

The Trump administration has issued a two-week ultimatum for schools and universities to end all DEI programs or risk losing federal funding. Educators are warning that the “autocratic” directive is part of a larger attempt to privatize education.

I’m inclined to believe this. Those people aren’t religious it’s about greed and power/control over the population.

This.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

"America is afraid of itself. It is totally afraid of its own history. It has never dealt with it successfully. It really thinks it's something that isn't." - Alice Walker in 1997 (Now replace America with a certain demographic)

Patriotic Americans must get their minds around the idea that mass protests likely will be necessary to stop a Trump-Musk dictatorship. Consider what outrage would get you into the streets. Keep bottled water and snacks handy. But mostly, get psychologically ready to defend your country.
