Trump military purge. Any Congressional Democrats telling themselves they can sit back and wait for Republicans to tank the midterms are delusional. We need full opposition mode, including supporting mass rallies and direct action. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

PORTLAND: let's go fuck up Elon Musk's money this weekend! Meet me at the Tesla store on 4330 S Macadam Ave at 11 am on Saturday. We have to let our neighbors know that spending even a single dollar with Tesla is unacceptable. No cars, no service, no charging, period. We're done. #TeslaTakedown

PORTLAND: Tesla will be exhibiting vehicles at the Oregon International Auto Show, starting today and running through the end of the weekend. People use this event to survey the market for new vehicles ahead of purchasing, so it's an ideal place to interrupt potential new Tesla sales. #TeslaTakedown

btw, i will tell you this - i have been talking to people all day, and the media is missing, whether intentionally or not, how absolutely, volcanically angry the people who have been fired are, not because they lost their jobs, but because their jobs matter, to us

The head of France's far-right party canceled the speech he was supposed to give at CPAC today, saying he was canceling because of what he himself called Steve Bannon's "gesture that referenced nazi ideology": www.rfi.fr/fr/france/20...

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

The crowd recognized it, responded by cheering, and he acknowledged that in return. It isn't some sneaky thing a few elites are caught up in, dogwhistling to the fringes. It is the base of their movement. Because they're Nazis. Sincere, unambiguous fans of Hitler and everything that goes with that.

In my first piece for @theguardian.com, I told the story about how a Portlander used social media to spark a movement that’s sweeping the nation… and why a similar movement in Portland over a decade prior didn’t have the same reach.

This is the reason I think @murray.senate.gov @wyden.senate.gov should ask GAO to investigate the fraudulent claims on DOGE's receipts page. Because it's serving as cover that DOGE is not seeking waste fraud and abuse but instead canceling programs Congress duly appropriated.

Dear business owners that voted for Trump, You could have had $50K in capital and a robust SBA. Instead, DOGE is cancelling all your government contracts and putting you out of business so he can have the contracts for himself.

THE MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE YOU'LL HEAR TODAY - From Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker. Still think we're being alarmist? Just remember it took German Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, and eight hours, and forty minutes to dismantle a Constitutional Republic. But more importantly, what comes next?

Gov. Pritzker, who is Jewish and led the effort to construct the Illinois Holocaust Museum in Skokie, said he doesn’t “invoke the specter of Nazis lightly,” but that he was “watching with a foreboding dread what is happening in our country right now.”

Creating new rules and structures to"increase oversight" is a sure sign that nobody wants to use the existing rules and structures for oversight to, you know, exercise oversight. Performative accountability is the American way.

Whenever people (especially scholars) say that FDR was one of our three greatest presidents, I think about this anniversary & how we still haven't fully processed how shameful it was & how that is one of the festering seeds that is now again bearing bitter fruit in our latest authoritarian moment.

Man, this thread. Can't imagine it getting better. Hope there's chatter behind the scenes about changing D Congressional leadership. I doubt the party gerontocracy will allow it, but MOCs who want to salvage their political careers - never mind democracy - might want to think about it
