Trump and Musk are a living monument to the worst excesses of human nature—an exhausting blend of arrogance, ignorance, greed, selfishness, narcissism, and the kind of misplaced confidence that has already fueled a thousand horrible decisions that will ultimately hurt millions of everyday Americans.

. General Mark Milley was right . . . ... and he's still right ! 💠 👊 💠

UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices" muskwatch.com/subscribe

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

New: Elon Musk’s team has descended on an already understaffed Social Security Administration, which now faces further workforce cuts and closures of vital local offices. The consequences could be significant for millions of the most vulnerable Americans. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

RFK Jr. cannot be trusted to oversee or interpret legit scientific research.

200 million dollars of waste.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

Hegseth and Trump are incompetent evil personified. Admiral Lisa Franchetti, and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman CQ Brown Jr., are military leaders with LONG distinguished careers based on (plot twist) MERIT! 🤡 is driving our country off a cliff as the world watches. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

Call today to let your Congressman know what you think about Elon Musk’s DOGE and its slash-and-burn cuts to the federal workforce and vital government programs. Leave a message if necessary. YOUR CALLS REALLY DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE! ☎️

We can agree that it's shameful if it comes to fruition. I dont think there is any chance it does. I don't understand why people don't believe Zelensky is as good a negotiator as Mexico or Canada. He knows you give Trump the PR win and move on

Reply with a 💙 if you believe that we need more people like Letitia James.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

He nails it.

In the #BrokenPost's totalitarian dictionary, a fascist coup is a "honeymoon" Trump’s honeymoon is over www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

“The United States has threatened to cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink satellite internet terminals if Kyiv does not reach a deal with the U.S. regarding critical mineral resources, Reuters reported on Feb. 21, citing three sources familiar with the negotiations.”

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

Good morning to the 83% of America that disapproves of Trump pardoning 1500 traitors.

🫡🇺🇸 "Americans do not swear an oath to a king, a tyrant or a dictator. We swear an oath to the Constitution and the idea of ​​America, for which we are willing to die," — Mark Milley ❗️He said that every US military member gives his life to protect the Constitution, not to individuals.

We refuse to let the oligarchs win and control us, and I feel a sea change (link to full video in reply)

The cars keep lurching to the far right.

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.
