Tuned in to Bluesky for the coup coverage. Everybody knows this ends with roundups and dead bodies, right?

I’ve long believed that the American media would be more clear-eyed about the return and actions of wanna-be dictator Donald Trump and the coup by Musk if it was happening overseas in a foreign country. Here's the story the US should be writing this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/king-donal...

At the Long Beach Tesla Takedown, lots of folks out here (I’d estimate probably 40-50 so far) and lots of support from cars driving by. Come out and join!

This is how it’s done.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

The context makes it clear:“Fight. Fight. Fight.” Nazi salute “Amen”

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

Donald Trump promised to protect Social Security. Instead, he unleashed Elon Musk and a gang of racist teenagers to ransack our Social Security system and steal our personal data. HANDS OFF OUR EARNED BENEFITS!

Donald Trump is selling out our seniors to Elon Musk. He is handing over control to sensitive Social Security information to an UNELECTED billionaire. Is Trump too weak to tell Musk no? Is he using Musk to cut Social Security so he doesn't have to take the blame? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...

"They are laying the groundwork for denying benefits to anyone they want to punish or deem unworthy—or indeed, any one of us." - Nancy Altman, President of Social Security Works

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Less than a month since a crash that took 67 lives, Trump is firing hundreds of federal employees who inspect and maintain air traffic control communications, radio and computer systems.  This is extremely dangerous and could have deadly consequences. www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

What Trump has done for US farmers so far: -frozen their foreign aid program (and left their food to rot) -encouraged EU to ban their products -frozen legally-owed reimbursements for their energy efficiency upgrades etc. -threatened to deport half their workforce -suppressed research on bird flu

I don't think that my parents, because they're on Social Security, are parasites. I don't think my neighbor who is on Medicaid is a parasite. I need Republicans to get right with themselves.

Laying off thousands of IRS agents will worsen budget deficits. I understand the IRS is deeply unpopular, but the more we encourage tax evasion among high-earners and corporations, the more they'll eventually need to raise your taxes to plug the gap. washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Another way the dictatorship might kill you. This is from a friend who is a retired air traffic controller.

There’s an immigrant taking people’s jobs… his name is Elon Musk. He’s snatching farms, government jobs (even those in which they manage our national security), and definitely those whose jobs are to root out fraud (inspector generals),

If getting drunk and throwing darts in the dark was a plan for governance... www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

With control of government ministries now seemingly assured by a quiescent parliament, South African oligarch Elon Musk spent his third week in power dismantling the legal constraints that would stop him from turning the US govt into his personal piggy bank. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-trump...

This is ballgame on the First Amendment unless there is immediate action by news media, Congress, the courts & the public to condemn & prohibt this www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/m...

Trump administration attaches a note opposing "gender ideology" to websites that the court ordered to be restored. 🔗 www.404media.co/trump-admin-...

Raising the retirement age is OUT OF THE QUESTION. Billionaires want to cut Social Security to work us to death and line their own pockets. It's our duty to stop them!

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted. Yet somehow Musk isn't.

The White House Press Corps needs to walk out.

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

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

I was previously told by Republicans that the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan was one of history’s greatest scandals. But the chaotic withdrawal of *all* USAID from the whole globe?! Crickets.

AP's still banned and the rest of the White House press corps leaves them hanging. I honestly don't get it. Didn't they all rally around Fox News a couple years ago?

The most sober, respected, you could fairly say establishment normie academic experts are saying it as loudly and plainly as they can: the Constitution is collapsing right now unlike anything in American history.

I think about this several times a day. Is there any part of the way the House or the Senate is acting right now that makes you think they’re worried about midterms?

I made a bumper sticker and put it on my car. Exponentially more relevant by the day.
