"I think the Outer God got the message. Our tasteful combination of coordinated clothes, tiny paper fans with 'BAD!' printed on them, and some of our sternest looks of disapproval to date really drove home the fact that we aren’t jazzed by all this cosmic cruelty."

We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.

Happy Mardi Gras!! ⚜️💜💚💛

Ranger Troy suddenly found himself somehow in the darkest timeline.

We do not know what tomorrow may bring, and it is natural to fear the unknown. But I do know this: tomorrow you will awaken to face the day with honor, as the true warrior you are, and it is the unknown that should fear you!

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 ✊

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

I will not promise you that tomorrow will be better. That would be wishful thinking. But I assure you that tomorrow could be better, and that you have it in you to fight for it, to make a glorious effort to make it so.

Gene Hackman will always be my Lex Luthor and the frequency by which I reference him yelling "Miss Tessmacher!" in the Superman movies will remain undiminished.

Your average TV show will find ways to hide it when an actress is pregnant. But sometimes a sci-fi/fantasy show will find the most bonkers plotline to weave the pregnancy into the story. I thought Deep Space Nine was the winner in this, but I hear Xena had an even crazier one.

We are adaptable, as individuals and as people. But that does not mean we must adapt to oppression, to inequality, to bigotry. Though we may be tempted to go along to get along, sometimes we must choose, as individuals, as people, to fight.

Same, Picard.

I agree, and honestly I don't even understand the point anyway. Our insurance companies are denying so many meds so even if people believed in these ads and doctors also believed in these meds enough to prescribe them, insurance says no to paying for them half the time.

He nails it.

Wouldn't work for me because I can only wink my right eye, but it's a good question.

Attorney General Pam Bondi disbanded an FBI task force investigating foreign influence operations, including those targeting U.S. elections. Additionally, she restricted enforcement actions against individuals who fail to disclose lobbying on behalf of foreign governments.

A top Social Security Administration official resigned after clashing with Musk staffers over access to sensitive personal records. They sought entry into an internal system containing Americans’ private data. Thank you, Michelle, for resisting—and for your 30 years of service.

Wonder if Elon could survive a week on the salary we make. While he burns through $8 million a day, the working class struggles—yet he paints us as the enemy.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941

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

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

Ron Howard FTW 🎯

Great point.

Actually, that is precisely what the legislative branch is supposed to do.

this is the sort of thing you post when you’re ramping up to defying lawful court orders

Nearly $7 million has been “apportioned” over the past week to cover DOGE-related expenses.

There are some who will tell you that empathy is tyranny, that equality is inequality, that oppression is freedom. See these for the lies they are, and know the liars for the enemies they are.

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.

Ellen Weintraub, chair of the Federal Election Commission, announced that President Trump sent her a letter declaring her immediate removal. However, Weintraub rejected the action, stating it was not legally valid.

Self reminder. Sharpen bat'leth.

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States

In dark times it is easy to become overwhelmed, to feel helpless. That is what your enemies want. Defy them. Deny them this, and let that be your first step toward denying them victory, and then seizing it yourself.

A lone voice speaking truth may be drowned by a cacophonous enemy. But when true warriors stand together, add their voices to a chorus, the words gain the power to sweep away any perfidious clamor. Today of all days, add your voice, warriors, and sing for what's right.

Thank you! A U.S. District Judge has approved requests from anonymous federal employees to proceed under pseudonyms in multiple cases against the Trump administration to protect themselves from potential harassment and threats.

This is the one thing that brought me joy today.

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

Hey so FYI this is why a lot of us believe billionaires should not exist. Because no one should be rich enough to topple a government

"Your Cake Coverage will pay for 80% of your expenses every time you encounter a medical issue, so long as your expenses are limited to a $27 supermarket cake that you bought to comfort-eat while worrying about how you'll afford to fix your medical issue."

It is our honor to serve you. America, you broke through— the media is finally picking up on what’s happening. We love you!! 🦬 💚 🇺🇸

The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable.

I was led to believe by R.E.M. that I would feel a lot better about this.

I need more Dems like AOC.
