It's easy for him to be a bully among the freaks at CPAC. Tell him to bring his azz to Boston and speak to The People.

A MUST-SEE‼️ The PayPal Mafia—Musk, Thiel, Sacks, and Botha—have ties to apartheid South Africa & a hand in US policy and the election. • Elon Musk – Unelected co-president, dismantling the government for his own gain. FUN FACT: His grandfather wanted to scrap democracy for technocrat rule. 🧵

Yet our lawmakers cannot seem to say #ItsACoup yet. NAME IT. Create a shadow cabinet to get in the game of organized public resistance before he declares martial law. Not calling this a coup or Constitutional crisis doesn't make them go away. He WILL eventually declare martial law.

He did this at Twitter. Scaling up this lunacy to fed workers means fElon would likely have reports fed into his faulty AI for analysis to find the "bottom 10%" to fire, along w/the non-responders. They just had to re-hire tons of fed staff that were essential. So what if they don't respond?

He needs to stay away from windows & aircraft. Alnur Mussayev, 71, a former Kazakh intelligence chief says the Trump/'Krasnov’ file is "being privately managed by one of Putin’s close associates.” “I hope I’ll survive a third assassination attempt,” he said in a comment below his [Facebook] post.

📣 Pls read, share, discuss...a realistic, detailed look at a range of options on the table to take on the COUP. Covers: 🎯 What House & Senate Dems, in the minority, can/can't do; 🎯 What the above electeds can do to lead in events & on media; 🎯 What the courts can/can't do; 🎯 What WE can do.

📣 More town hall news, this time in Wisconsin, about the Felon47/fElon presidency and the #CoupUnderWay On the receiving end of "constituent expression" 😀: Rep Glenn Grothman (R-6). He represents rural, suburban and exurban communities between Madison, Milwaukee, and Green Bay.

🇺🇸 RE-UP SAT! 📣 Your electeds need to hear from you, esp Blue voters in Red states! 📣 Tell your Dems to admit #ItsACoup & we need a shadow cabinet NOW! ☎️ Phone: 5Calls has scripts: 5calls.org 📩 Hit 'em w/email: democracy.io 🔍 Locate your officials, fed, state, local.: tinyurl.com/USelecteds

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

📣 🇺🇸 More resistance! In a red district in my birth state of NC! Rep. Tim Moore (R-14) arrived at the Cornelius Town Hall (THROUGH THE BACK DOOR!) for a ribbon cutting for his Congressional office. He didn't speak to the democracy defenders outside. 1/3 is.gd/sJhF9V h/t: @jrobin.bsky.social

Rachel @maddow.msnbc.com looks at Repub lawmakers taking 🔥 at town halls from constituents with zero patience for Felon47/fElon defense talking points & excuses for govt destruction. Dems also take heat for feeble responses to the "house on fire" COUP. youtu.be/Pu1nW1pygts?...

Has anyone been keeping track of how many of the J6 felons that were pardoned have been rearrested, committed crimes, or ended up dead from confrontations with law enforcement? Felon47 is on a roll. I guess the list of J6 felons that will get to sing at the Kennedy Center is getting shorter...

Yeah but the replacement INAPPROPRIATELY wore a MAGA hat...

Hegseth’s biography is on the left, General Brown’s on the right. Go read these to someone without telling them who they are and then ask them to choose who is better qualified to hold the positions of SECDEF and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

“What merit means to them” General Brown’s record, which Hegseth questioned for obvious reasons: www.af.mil/About-Us/Bio...

This is big Thug Life from the White House. What a disgrace.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov Gov. Pritzker please start organizing with other blue state governors to push back on what is happening in the US. Please, you & all the blue state governors need to come together to help save the republic. You are the only one conveying the right tone and rhetoric. TYVM

Lolz. Hitting the nail on the head...

More, more, more 🔥!

AOC: “The Trump admin understands that it does not have absolute power and that it must rely on creating a false illusion of power to create a chilling effect to get everyday people to respond to fear, comply in advance, and censor their own free speech,” she said." She says to call their bluff. ✅

@velshi.bsky.social "explains why the Trump-Musk agenda of this administration’s first 30 days is giving experts like former Labor Secretary @rbreich.bsky.social a reason to believe America is moving from a democracy to an oligarchy." youtu.be/ZvlI4wn9T7Y?...

Poor Daniel Dale of CNN, keeper of Felon45/47's lie count. He has to go through (at least) another 4 years of this herculean task. We're only at Month 1 and there is a "top 13 biggest" lies. Out of how many total?! 😵‍💫

Compulsive Handsy Matt. "An intoxicated patron had just left the establishment in a BMW after assaulting another person and grabbing their genitals. The report identified Schlapp as the driver of the BMW. It also said that the alleged victim was “declining obtaining warrants.” is.gd/cDdTGe

😳 Trump shared a story re: Caine, saying the general told him: “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.” Felon47 recounted "Caine then allegedly put on a MAGA hat, despite military protocol prohibiting active-duty troops from donning any clothing w/a political message."

If only OUR govt was wise re: Musk... "From the very beginning, it was clear what an unstable partner we were dealing with. All the military understood that it was wrong to rely on military comms built on commercial infrastructure owned by another country, which is beyond our control." is.gd/bxIB9h

If you look at all the firings across the government over the last two weeks it's frequently been taken as a given that any black or woman official or officer is either a DEI hire or supports DEI and is summarily fired on that basis. Seems like the same model here.

This will go down as the Friday Night Massacre of the Military. First the Chairman of the JCS and now Adm. Franchetti, the first woman to become a member of the JCS. Next up the Air Force’s No. 2 officer & the top JAGs for each service. Martial law is coming. breakingdefense.com/2025/02/trum...

BREAKING: USCP is arresting Enrique Tarrio for swiping his hand at a counterprotester who got in his face.

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

Dementia & Alzheimer's have touched my extended family. The toll it takes on caregivers is heartbreaking. Juggling work, fam, navigating Medicare/Medicaid is difficult enough. The # of fams dealing w/this is exploding. Vile Felon47 & fElon, laughing at taking a chainsaw to our safety nets...evil.

We are unfortunately beyond a letter, Senator. THIS IS A COUP. Say it. The party is in the minority & cannot effectively stop this COUP as the vulnerable are thrown under the bus by a FELON KING. Accountability would be forming a shadow govt to lead the people in a resistance to tyranny.

JFC. It never ends. They F up, we pay. "Now that members have been deputized, they have more rights and could be authorized to carry weapons on fed grounds. It also means that if something went awry w/the detail, the Marshals Service could be held legally liable, one law enforcement source said."

You sign up to serve your country, only for A FELON & his drug-addled billionaire bud to swoop in w/a team of incels and betray you and your privacy, put your benefits on the chopping block, and are firing vets left and right. Tell your electeds you've had enough. #SayItIsACoup. 5calls.org

Can she please lead a shadow government? AOC is ready to help us reclaim democracy. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social & @schumer.senate.gov have too much Beltway rot & reticence for this moment. #ItsACoup and #ConstitutionalCrisis NOW. Being in the minority in Congress does not mean go to sleep.

So wait, they don't want any more federal employees working at home, effective immediately. So if they have an electric car they can't come to work and charge it, either? Make it make sense.

🇺🇸👍🏼🔥MORE LFG! 🔥👍🏼🇺🇸 Tell electeds to say IT IS A COUP. Dems, don't say you can't do anything about it because you're in the minority. We need a shadow cabinet of resistance to this self-appointed King & drug-addled fElon & his incels. AOC, Jasmine and others are ready to rock for democracy!

🤣🤣🤣 That town hall audience of constituents gave him a figurative wedgie on camera.
