Former Capitol police officer Michael Fanone when confronting Proud Boys insurrectionist Enrique Tarrio: “You are a traitor to this country.” RETWEET if you stand with Officer Fanone!

Pisses me off that we’re stardust with the gift of conscious existence and having to spend our time on all this bullshit.

This guy, former NFL player, Chris Kluwe, went into the lion's den in Huntington Beach, surrounded by smug-ass residents and cops, and did an incredibly courageous thing. We should all strive to be more like Kluwe and less like Butker (NFL MAGA dumbass.) www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

And it's going to get much worse!

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

Probably one of the most memorable state governor speeches ever. What comes next? @govpritzker.illinois.gov youtube.com/shorts/ZdDI6...

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

America: Home of the Red, White, and Brute 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

America is sick, like stay home and watch the price is right sick

Red state republicans have nothing on blue state republicans. They over here stabbing California fire captain’s to death for having the audacity of being a woman and having a job.

Until someone gets the balls to tell elonald to their face, we are and will continue to be screwed. On a lighter note, we could have been finishing Bernie Sanders 2nd term. But he was a socialist and apparently we only elect fascist here in America with a four year break in between.

This version of authoritarianism is slightly different from the 1930s version. Replace Jew with You and you will see the difference. (YOU being anyone that’s not a billionaire)

Politicians can become President.

It’s a conundrum. 🤷‍♂️

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Congressmen when they are asked if they will cut THEIR budgets and lay off staff as well:

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

This is what our Transportation Secretary was doing yesterday as planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. I cannot remember a more dangerous time to fly and yet this reality TV actor-turned-Cabinet Secretary is busy watching cars drive laps at the Daytona 500.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Captures it perfectly.

Fascinating profile of a park ranger in San Francisco who works with unhoused residents and has adopted the novel tactic of treating them like human beings, building relationships, and helping them access resources on their own timeline.

He’s been co-POTUS for 4 weeks. Not even a month. And they’re already calling for the likely future leader of the Democratic Party—a nonwhite woman—to be put in a cage. Twitter has many tweets like the one below. Everyone needs to understand: America is on very limited time now. Fascism is here.

At some point very soon, republicans in Congress will have to choose between pleasing Trump to avoid being primaried, and helping their constituents to avoid being primaried.

You cannot fire so many people and shutter so many agencies and services and not expect things to start to go very bad very quickly. Our job is to highlight not only the chaos and cruelty of the firings, but also the devastating consequences. The public must turn on this madness and soon.

The community note 🤌😘

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

FYI: @democracyforward.org leading an effort to stop the sweeping attempts to fire all probationary federal employees. democracyforward.org/updates/fede...

If one person were tasked with destroying our country from within, this is exactly what the fuck it would look like.

I’m going to continue to work until my computer access is revoked,” Lennox said. “Then I’m going to volunteer. I’m going to keep working as best I can to support the veterans. That’s what I’m here for.” taskandpurpose.com/news/veteran...

Heartbreaking news… Tonight, many of our friends were let go, and tomorrow, even more will follow. Word is that all probationary employees at NPS will be let go. 😭

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Germany’s Nuremberg Trials. 110,000 captured German documents, 30 kilometres of film, 25,000 photographs. “Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses -because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened”. —Dwight D. Eisenhower

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

You have to zoom in, but I saw this on cyber truck today 😂

Yeah. No. That’s not how that works…

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit

Hegseth got heckled by what appeared to be military family members in Germany. Yelling"DEI!" at him as he arrived at the headquarters. This is unheard of and shows how angry many are with the anti-DEI push that's led to book bannings in DOD schools. I break it down! Subscribe! youtu.be/c7ky05dmQ2g

“Those employees who remain are being warned to expect their actions to be surveilled, from their swipes into government facilities to the keystrokes they type on their computers.” Definite Big Brother energy here. www.npr.org/2025/02/11/n...

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

As relevant as ever.
