acknowledging the history and existence of black people in america is not dei; it is not diversity; it is describing what is in front of you.

1. I did the work of an employee you fired. 2. I did the work of a 2nd employee you fired. 3. I did the work of a 3rd employee you fired. 4. I did the work of a 4th employee you fired. 5. I did the work of a 5th employee you fired.

1. Monday - fell apart 2. Tuesday - broke my heart 3. Wednesday - same 4. Thursday - didn't even start 5. Friday - I'm in love

As America is being torn apart, weakened, and sold to the highest bidder, I think about all the folks who told me, "Well, it won't be THAT bad" and "We survived 4 years of Trump..." and "The systems will hold." All of them are privileged and well-off. Alas. We're all in it now.

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.

Costco and Trader Joes are yin and yang. Together they form a harmonious balance. One sells big piles of normal food, the other sells small piles of weird food. These are the two food piles people need

Republicans=Nazis

Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance. 1. Elon Musk

CPAC well on its way to taking its ultimate form this year.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

This is key to understanding the building outrage & backlash that extends way beyond the hurt of those fired. Firing people for no reason is brutal & loathsome but the even larger overall offense is wiping out all the fired people’s jobs with them, all the purposes & needs & value those jobs serve.

"The crowd again started shouting “tax Elon,” “tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich” and “tax the billionaires.” " www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

And now this statement after Trump’s DOE — which he is supposedly dismantling — said it’s launching an investigation

it is really notable the extent to which state Dems have been significantly better than federal Dems at telling Trump to go fuck himself

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

I don’t know man. Some things are just not knowable *intently sucks on toke*

This is in fact a real picture and it will work nicely in the ads next year about the military families devastated by Elon's illegal firings.

A cool thing about tonight‘s Senate vote-a-rama on budget is that Trump and Elon are going to continue ignoring Congress’ budget powers until Congress does something about it

Shout out to everyone who told me Biden couldn’t fire DeJoy.

trump wants to be able to tell the USPS not to deliver ballots to blue states www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Elon and Kash Patel sure do like chainsaws

Hey JD Vance, is this the kind of “bad on free speech” stuff you were accusing Germany of a few days ago?👇

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.

This is not about efficiency. Giving federal employees purchase cards saves money - it reduces layers of paperwork and red tape. Imagine running a business where you stopped employees from purchasing anything. The goal is to shut down government by other means.

This is like Senators asking for Trump to release funding for their pet projects. When you campaigned for a personalist presidency you have turned yourself into a beggar seeking the King’s favor rather than a citizen who can be confident of equal treatment for all.

And you know who you have to blame for this, Nikki?

Protests are taking place all over the country tonight against cuts to vital federal services. Here in Washington, people are marching to SpaceX’s offices demanding Musk be ousted from the government.
