This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

The DOJ, under Trump's direction is moving all incarcerated trans women into men's prisons. NPR says the DOJ is "well aware of concerns about risks of assault, sexual violence and suicides." This is what happens to trans women in men's prisons. Please share so it's well known. It's fucking cruel.

According to a memo leaked to the LA Times, ICE will be starting their “knock and talk” practices in the LA area on Feb 23rd. #KnowYourRights

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

REMEMBER: Next Friday, February 28. NOT 1 PENNY SPENT. We can do this. I'm IN, are you? 👋💙

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here? JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply? JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

🚨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!

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

Three updates: 1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

In the wealthiest nation on earth, 25% of seniors should not be living on $15,000 a year or less. We should EXPAND Social Security, not cut it. I will soon be introducing legislation to significantly raise Social Security benefits and extend the solvency of the program.

WTF

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

No reasonable person would view my comments as a threat. We are living in a dangerous time, and elected members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced. Read more: www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

“What’s the point of fighting cybercrime if we’re just going to give access for government networks to people with cybercriminal gang affiliations?” www.wired.com/story/doge-c...

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Dark Pence is back.

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

“We’re going to find billions, hundreds of millions of dollars of fraud and abuse.” — Donald Trump So, let’s have Elon and his team of hackers dig through everyone’s secret data to “fix” the problem. There’s a reason he’s using hackers instead of data analysts and experts in the field.

If you’re not confirmed by the Senate then you have no business meddling in the lives of MILLIONS of Americans We are suing DOGE for violating the constitution & illegally seizing power I’ll discuss tonight @ 8PM ET on @insidewithpsaki.msnbc.com 👇 statedemocracydefenders.org/fund/new-law...

Real people are being hurt by this illegal government purge by Elon Musk & Donald Trump. Read this from "Ranger Brian" Gibbs who was fired from his National Park Service job in Iowa. Just devastating. 1/

This is who Donald Trump has nominated to head the U.S Attorney's Office in Washington DC. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump has begun firing several hundred FAA employees. Guess who is visiting the FAA command center today to "suggest improvements"? Elon Musk, of course. The billionaire grift continues. https://apnews.com/article/doge-faa-air-traffic-firings-safety-67981aec33b6ee72cbad8dcee31f3437

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

Unbelievable. 🤯

Well said.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

Sam Nordquist didn't deserve this. Sam was reported missing on Feb. 9, 2025. Over that period of time, Sam was tortured and sexually abused repeatedly. Five people were charged with murder. Sam was transgender. This is what hate does. RIP Sam.🙏🏽🕊😪 www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

Are people finally waking up? The real fight isn’t about bathrooms or drag queens—it’s about who holds power & at whose expense. Culture war is just a distraction, keeping working people too busy fighting each other rather than noticing who’s actually robbing us blind: billionaires—not each other!

This is absolutely insane. — www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes…

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Every word of this.

Tom Homan basically admits to a quid pro quo for dropping the corruption charges against Mayor Eric Adams in exchange for enforcing Donald Trump's mass deportation plan. "If he doesn't come through...I'll be in his office, up his butt, saying 'where the hell is the agreement we came to?'" Vile.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022. The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion. Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

“MaYbe shE’s goiNg to be in TroUble nOw” Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start

📌Anti-vaxxer RFK Jr. leading the Department of Health and Human Services is literally a sick joke.

This fight will not be easy.  What we're dealing with now is one of the worst stress tests our nation has ever endured. But I believe that we will survive.  Do not descend into despair.
