Green Banks help fund clean energy projects. So, of course, the Republicans want to kill it. #ClimateChange #CleanEnergy #DOGEisCorruption #Project2025isFascism www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Do you make less than $360,000 a year? Your taxes are about to go UP. And you have Trump, Musk, and the Republicans to thank for it.

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

Minnesota is leading the way on combatting climate change, and we’re creating clean energy jobs in the process. www.startribune.com/xcel-says-it...

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

Black American communities have long served as frontline defenders of the environment, fighting for the fundamental right to breathe clean air and drink uncontaminated water. Read this blog post! #BlackHistory #EnvironmentalJustice #ClimateReality www.climaterealityproject.org/blog/know-yo...

Oil companies form coalition to fund marketing campaigns to deny climate change! A US judge rules that Exxon and others must face climate claims from Puerto Rican towns, emphasizing accountability. #ClimateJustice #Accountability #PuertoRico www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

Love to see it!

The DOGE claims are not true. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Amen to that.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

We must stand together! Thank you @repjasmine.bsky.social for being a voice of reason and positive influence for all. #StandTogether #FightFascism #DefendDemocracy youtube.com/shorts/nb5-M...

Today we launched a website to track how much orange assface plays golf. We’re guessing this thing is gonna get a workout! Bookmark it. Enjoy! More: TrumpGolfTrack.com

We have added @trumpgolftrack.com to Bluesky. Please pass it on!

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

I'm in ! Tell me how.

Another shakedown: U.S. negotiators pressing Kyiv for access to Ukraine's critical minerals have raised the possibility of cutting the country's access to Elon Musk's vital Starlink satellite internet system, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

The Supreme Court, in its first ruling on President Trump’s use of executive power during his second term, decided that he cannot, for now, dismiss the government lawyer leading the watchdog agency responsible for protecting whistle-blowers.

I'll take that bet.

At least the team at DOJ has a mentor.

Sharing some news. #TheBigSick

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) was established by Benjamin Franklin in 1775 when the Second Continental Congress appointed him as the first Postmaster General.

"...eliminated positions for employees who have played a role in assessing the brain-implant technology in Elon Musk’s Neuralink devices." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/h...

Breaking: A federal judge has indefinitely adjourned New York City Mayor Eric Adams' fraud criminal trial after last week's request from the Department of Justice.

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

Raskin: "It's becoming obvious to the American people that Elon Musk and Donald Trump are not opponents of corruption, they are agents of corruption."

If you don’t think Trump is taking over the US Mail to do away with mail-in voting, you haven’t been paying attention.

It’s a cult.

This has been my point for weeks about what Musk is after. Consolidated data from the biggest mine of information in the world. He’s so thirsty for data he’d get his hands on the nuclear codes if he could. Could he? www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Governor Janet Mills, effectively told Trump, “I won’t bow down, mushroom boy!”

EVERY FUCKING WORD OF THIS! We have to take the gloves off! So listen up @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @democrats.org We are ready to fight! And if you fight, know that we will stand beside you every step of the way!

đź’Ą Apple is upholding its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Despite attack from right-wing anti-DEI shareholder activists -- the same anti-DEI group that targeted Costco. And just like Costco, look for Apple shareholders to tell anti-DEI activists to take a hike on Feb 25.
