Europe has a solution for Starlink, it is faster and the quality is better. The IRIS 2 program. IRIS will make Starlink obsolete and provide permanent global coverage. The US, and especially Musk, are not needed. #IRIS #EU youtu.be/V-SXNVeNby0

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

He's terrorizing federal workers. Some agencies have instructed employees to answer the email, some have advised against it, and some unions have said to hold tight for further instructions. All the while, no one is sure the right thing to do to keep their job.

Profoundly important thread. Please read and repost, ad infinitum.

The ketamine kid and the kakistocracy must go.

There are 3 open seats and upcoming elections. If you’re sick of this oligarchy shit, what will YOU do to help Democrats win these seats? No excuses accepted. Let’s hear action. Support the Democrat candidates #Voices4Victory

I am grateful that so many people found my open letter to Elon Musk moving and want to share it. Some well meaning people are just cutting and pasting it on their social media feeds. I would appreciate it if people would link to the version posted on @democracydocket.com instead. Thanks. Marc

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

“A video shared by Tarrio on social media on Saturday showed him following the officers, Michael Fanone, Harry Dunn and Aquilino Gonell, through … a Washington hotel that was hosting the Principles First summit, a conference where one of the officers received a ‘profile in courage’ award.”

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

The Pentagon is now pausing their mass firing of civilian employees in order to evaluate potential impacts on military readiness. I’m just spitballing here, but maybe a readiness assessment should have been the first step. 🤦‍♂️

Delta Airlines really needs to remove Fox News from its inflight streaming. A woman in the row in front of me watched it nonstop for three hours and EVERY segment I caught the headline for was lies, misinformation, and disinformation. It was a travesty.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Cutting USAID isn’t “draining the swamp,” it’s draining our influence. It feeds starving kids, supports U.S. farmers, & keeps fragile nations stable. Slash it, & China fills the void, our allies drift, & chaos grows. It’s not saving $, it’s losing power. Every $ will go to top 1% in tax cuts!

So they told us what they were going to do to ALL of us. Here is a tracker on their progress in destroying our country: www.project2025.observer

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary... "Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

remarkable that the White House cannot just say that Putin is responsible for Putin's war

Russia isn’t our friend. Bush tried. Obama tried. Trump tried during his first term. It’s an admirable goal, but it doesn’t work. No matter how much Trump capitulates to Putin, Russia won’t be our friend.

Not only is this kind of thing morally treasonable & unpatriotic, it’s just darn weird to fawn over & support one dude over the country, our laws, and our Constitution! Thanks for this sadly perfect quote for these authoritarian times, Teddy!

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

I posted this was a lie right after Musk said it. This is the Commander of the ISS. Musk responded to this post by throwing a temper tantrum and calling for ISS to be defunded.

Posted minutes after the Commander of the ISS said Musk lied about the stranded astronauts in his Fox interview with Trump.

It’s amazing how many Republican politicians, Fox hosts, & commentators have come out to strongly disagree with Trump’s statements about Ukraine while none of them even mentioned his name while doing so. Their level of fear and terror of Trump is something to watch.

Honest question: Why are people obeying DOGE?

Spineless, yellow-bellied, lily-livered, weak-kneed, pusillanimous chickenshits.

Disgusting

I wonder what would happen if @wyden.senate.gov @murray.senate.gov asked GAO to investigate whether DOGE's "receipts" claiming savings amounts to fraud. Honestly, it's the only fraud found so far. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

Why thank you for this. It’s very thoughtful of you. 🦋

BREAKING: The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals will NOT allow the Trump admin to end birthright citizenship for certain children of immigrants.

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

Now this, I can co-sign.
