We knew it was happening but it’s perfect to see it confirmed in writing. #FuckTrump #FuckMusk #BurnDOGEToTheGround www.propublica.org/article/doge...

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

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)

Keep at it

Minnesota Senator Tina Smith bringing the thunder 🔥

And millions voted to make the wealth gap worse. Most of them from the bottom 50%

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

@beyer.house.gov caught OPM/NSF arbitrarily reclassifying non-probationary NSF employees as probationary so they could be fired more easily. beyer.house.gov/uploadedfile... See also Reuters (which didn't link letter): www.reuters.com/world/us/us-... I hope the satire writers are watching.

I posted this longer version on X #Emails2DOGE cc: [email protected]

👀 NEW: the current under secretary of State for Management, Ambassador Tibor Nagy, has sent an email regarding OPM's request for five accomplishments: "No employee is obligated to report their activities outside of their department chain of command."

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Fact.

None of this normal. None of this is how “successful businesses” are run.

Pretty sure we do. Apparently, just very few of them in our government.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

These people protected US forests and lands. Their jobs have now vanished due to Trump

"As we navigate the sheer quantity of hate and unconstitutional extremism found within these orders, it’s essential we not let this blitzkrieg distract or deter us." - Keith Thirion

“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.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

More good reporting like this, please, cutting through the lies and bullshit of Musk et al. This is the #GoodTimes DOGE’s Only Public Ledger Is Riddled With Mistakes www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Heroin addict and roadkill enthusiast, RFK Jr. kills flu shot campaigns and cancels a major vaccination conference.

“What merit means to them” General Brown’s record, which Hegseth questioned for obvious reasons: www.af.mil/About-Us/Bio...

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

"Six weeks ago, we had the strongest economy, employment, and stock market in history. ..All gone in 30 days."

I'm about to drop a piece at The Atlantic on this Pentagon purge. As I warned, Trump is capturing Justice, Intelligence, the military. This is praetorianism, pure and simple.

BREAKING: Donald Trump just fired General CQ Brown (left) and has replaced him with the less qualified Lt. General Dan Caine. DEI isn’t a problem if you’re white.

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...

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Math is hard

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

And fully half of it is a humiliating error where they mistake the value of a contract by 1000x confusing 8 million with 8 BILLION

Dark Pence is back.

Ok that made me laugh

This 👇

It absolutely can. It will be done. We have the power. There was no mandate 26% of the voting population (when including those who could but don’t vote) is NOT A MANDATE. But the damage is being done. We need to act.

“American Exceptionalism?” 🤦‍♀️

👇👇

A dictatorship that kills people from democracies if they say something inconvenient hosting another dictatorship that does the same and a country run by a wannabe dictator who wants people jailed for saying anything inconvenient gathered to decide the fate of a democracy that wasn’t even invited?

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

Fact
