Since this administration does not think people can chose their own preferred pronouns, let's all start using the pronouns "she" and "her" when referring to Trump or Musk. As a matter of fact, let's add Patel, Hegseth, Bessant, Duffy, Burgum, Vought, et.al. to the list. It will drive them wild.

We need the past Presidents to speak up.

Makes more sense than the "pee" story. www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news...

Of course they did. www.nbcnews.com/business/bus...

The truth 👇

He's mad his lies about Ukraine were fact-checked by his own website so he wants to change the fact-checking system

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

There is a tremendous arbitrage opportunity for a country to give US scientists amnesty or fast-track citizenship to become an intellectual and research leader.

Elon Musk is an idiot on an almost inconceivable scale. He had his high-school toadies pull a random list from a database he doesn’t understand, and on that basis alone decided that 60 MILLION SOCIAL SECURITY ENROLLEES, out of 72 million total, are fraudulent. 83% fraudulent!

Also worth pointing out that if we take this at face value then if Musk were to face criminal charges in a state court he could not claim supremacy clause immunity nor could he invoke officer removal.

Over 650 political scientists who have dedicated our lives to the study of democracy & government, have signed this letter enumerating our deep concerns about this administration’s actions that undermine the Constitution and the rule of law. Please share. urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=htt...

two different Zürich coffee shop baristas have given me free coffee as a consolation for being American, so i've got that going for me i guess

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." As the foundation of #democracy in America crumbles and the vulnerable are under attack from a rogue administration, we, the people, are asking our former presidents to "Say something!”

This.

Man who sold his soul says what?

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

Why isn't the Remote-Worker-In-Chief on Musk's hit list? Oh, wait.... www.cnn.com/2025/02/18/p...

"If the opposition party is somehow not legitimate, if they’re enemies, if they’re an existential threat to the nation, then that justifies extraordinary behavior against them."

Mere weeks ago, media outlets were still publishing pieces asking where the “resistance” was. It seems we are now well past that: Possibly, that’s because “the resistance” is bubbling up in too many places to track.

MARCO RUBIO IN 2017: "Foreign Aid is not charity. We must make sure it is well spent, but it is less than 1% of budget & critical to our national security.” MARCO RUBIO IN 2025: "USAID is a global charity."

Defense Secretary reframing not paying his taxes as a weaponization of government is a pretty good distillation of where things are

From Meidas: "Musk reposted a random account today that showed a picture purporting to show migrants storming a hospital with axes and knives. The photo turned out to a screen shot from the movie The Dark Knight Rises."

Trump is trying to single handedly save Russia from certain collapse

It’s President’s Day today

Bezos actually turns down $$$ in effort to keep Musk/Trump administration happy. www.cnn.com/2025/02/17/m...

Celebrate "Not My President" Day
