⚡️'We're going to get our money back' — Trump on US-Ukraine resources deal. "I want them to give us something for all of the money that we put up," Trump said on Feb. 22. "We're asking for rare earth and oil — anything we can get."

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.

If we liquidated Elon, every American could get a check for $1 million dollars

Trump was willing to stand up there for a few minutes to pretend to care about black history, but hugging the guy was a deal breaker.

Folks are asking, “what should I do in this moment?” One of the most passionate, progressive voices in Congress for 30 years, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden answers that question. Here’s our conversation, inside a replica of the Senate chamber at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute: youtu.be/n_nQ-Moa9fI?...

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Even Yahoo news is publishing that Donvict Drumpf is a fucking KGB Ruzzian Pootin spy & Moscow Tool. Codename Krasnov, named after a Ruzzian collaborator with the Nazis. uk.news.yahoo.com/donald-trump...

after i called out the @nytimes.com on bluesky and in my story for @dailykos.com the ny times has FINALLY added a correction. we caught them in the act. they tried to hide it. then we exposed them more. and now they've reacted again.

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

Musk: “If the central pillar of western civilization that is 🇺🇸 falls, the whole roof comes crashing down, and there is no escape.” This sound like a threat to anyone else?🫤

~How insulting! Gretzky is a traitor to Canada Gretzky was made Team Canada’s honorary captain for the tournament The move has drawn harsh criticism as Gretzky has been repeatedly spotted at Trump's side www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

Major news media aren't ready to say directly that Trump and Musk are pushing us toward a dictatorship, and by the time they come around to that fact, it may be illegal to say so.

Civility doesn’t seem to be working either.

I can’t just sit by and pretend I’m not seeing what I’m seeing So, like, the Nazis are in charge now huh? I literally just watched multiple WWII documentaries over the past few months. It’s not funny, it’s not a joke. Like WTF. Grandparents & ancestors who fought this rolling in their graves now

It looks like Steve Bannon just did a Nazi salute at the end of his CPAC speech.

WSJ: “.. The message was clear, according to several people with knowledge of the conversation: Get your clients to spend more on Elon Musk’s social-media platform, or else.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/business/med...

No reasonable person would view my comments as a threat. We are living in a dangerous time, and elected members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced. Read more: www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Every Trump move in the last month has brought us closer to one-man rule, a.k.a. dictatorship. Fight back now, while you can.

Donald Trump’s Putinization of America My new column: www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

‼️Another cable damaged in the Baltic Sea. C-1 Lion 1 cable between Finland and Germany was damaged in the Swedish economic Zone. It has already been damaged in November 2024. Swedish Coast Guard: it is unclear when the damage took place exactly. Officials were notified of the incident yesterday.

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

I have been pushing Elections Canada to take steps to protect our democracy from American/Musk interference. We have only to look at Germany to see how the Trump machine will undermine democracay to promote the far right. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

A sitting congressman calling Elon Musk a dick is now considered a threat by the DOJ and are now starting a criminal investigation. This is the death of free speech in the United States.

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.

Imagine leaving school and not being able to afford to go to university, or rent a flat, or move out of your parents' place, or save for a mortgage, or get a job, or go on holiday. Imagine growing up fearing pensions won't exist, & civilisation may collapse & the climate might kill you. Imagine.

Putin did this 👇

The question is, whether or not we have enough good people who are willing to push back and to move together across lines of politics and religion and race and nation of origin and orientation—and to declare our interdependence from fascism. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/fascism-is...

To every Canadian hockey reporter who ever once asked US players about our poor anthem etiquette: if you don’t ask them to address this very post, we’d better not see you wearing a motherfucking Poppy this November. You’re not worthy. Biggest jock-sniffing pussies in all of sports media.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...
