Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Art speaks when words fail.

I made my call you should too

It wasn’t about egg prices, gas prices, or any of that. This was about destroying your great country and spitting on you to make themselves richer. It’s obvious. Tonight they’re gutting the military while they toast to the largest billionaire tax cuts in *history*. THE PLOT AGAINST AMERICA!

Senator Murphy lays out exactly what is on the line. "  There was a promise made to finance this tax cut with two trillion dollars of cuts to Medicaid and Medicare. Medicaid, poor kids, poor families, Medicare, seniors in this country." Don't Cut My Medicaid

When Rupert Murdoch’s rags turn on you …

Agreed, pass it on.

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

The second rule of Fight Club is "you do not talk about Fight Club."

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

When is every federal employee just walking off the job? Fuck this shit. Bring this country to a halt. Like wtf are we even doing? My grandfather fought in WW2 against the nazis. No way in fucking hell I’m just continuing on like shit is normal under this new nazi regime.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Resisting comes in all forms. Here is a very creative one starting to pop up.

Where are Obama, Harris, Biden, Clinton, Gore? Somebody say something, DO something!

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

We must not obey. We must defy.

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

Trump’sTariff Plan Threatens the Global Economy In starting a process to impose reciprocal tariffs on American trading partners, Trump is sowing uncertainty and risking inflation. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/16/b...

Planes didn't crash when this guy ran things.

A drug addict who makes cars that spontaneously explode, plows into cops, and crash at much higher rates than other cars, is going to fix the air traffic control system? I'm not getting on a plane until this drug-addled illegal immigrant is deported or imprisoned.

We need to consider this: Trump and the Billionaire squad want to kill us.

Head out to your state capitols or other established points, for today's Not My President national day of protests against the Trump regime and Musk. Remember to stay warm, alert, and most importantly loud. #3E #USprotests #Feb17 #NotMyPresident #NoKings #fiftyfiftyone #NDOP

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

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Trump is the first president to constantly wear makeup. Lol

If judges and Congress are just ignored, sooner or later, someone is going to have to lay hands on Trump and his oligarch crew and lead them away in handcuffs. It has to happen sooner or later. Sooner is much better. #3E

As you watch the felony charges being dropped against people like Eric Adams who have allegedly committed serious crimes, (which constitute national security issues), just realize this: It's just a matter of time before the opposite begins happening; innocent people being charged..and prosecuted.

You know I can’t remember even once hearing a Republican member of Congress when they were in the minority say “we can’t do anything…we aren’t the majority!” Not one damn time.

Since they are continuing to break the law and law-enforcement agencies seem unable to enforce the law, then we the people have to rise up and enforce the law for them. Remember Romania, 1989.
