It is a twisted combination of funny and frustrating that every Nazi dog whistle they did over the past decade plus, yes, including that OK symbol thing, got downplayed into oblivion by many of the people who feel like they are just all of the sudden heiling out of nowhere.

Love this! #TeslaTakedown

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.

Thousands of people marched in DC in solidarity with Ukraine and against impunity by oligarchs like Trump and Putin. They gathered outside the Russian embassy. #3E #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity #USprotests #DCprotests #StandWithUkraine

A lesson in how claims of meritocracy as justification for opposing DEI are often cover for the demand that we return to a system of preference for white men - whatever their qualifications. Fire a qualified Black man. Hire a statutorily unqualified white man. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

This dangerous lunatic is dismantling our country for personal gain. We have the power to stop him. Hit the streets and make your voice heard at Teslatakedown.com

It's past midnight, and Senate Republicans are voting NO against every Democratic-led amendment to PROTECT HEALTH CARE for our families. Pay close attention: Republicans are working to push kids off Medicaid to pass MORE tax cuts for billionaires.

Republican Senators who voted for RFK Jr. have the best healthcare in the world, paid for by you. They don’t care about what’s going to happen to your kids, your parents, or you.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

AOC speaking to a thousand NYC federal workers and allies about the urgency of resisting Musk 🔥🔥🔥

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

"[Musk] is trying to gut everything good in America for his own private profit. This is the culmination of what oligarchy is all about...the fusion and the capture of the billionaire class of our democracy." - @aoc.bsky.social with @fedworkersunited.bsky.social today #SaveOurServices

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

Don't boo. Get involved with pro-democracy organizations. Don't boo. Write post cards and phone bank. Don't boo. Donate what you can to firms representing gov workers pro bono and filing lawsuits on behalf of us REAL AMERICANS Don't boo... Beat their asses in every election DONT BOO... VOTE!!!

Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now

Another fiery exchange from Judge Reyes in the trans military case:

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

Zero people have been fired then and everyone should return to their jobs. Also the people stealing private information should be prosecuted for attempted identity theft

@searchlightnm.bsky.social is hoping to connect with people in New Mexico who have lost their jobs at: the National Park Service, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management. Reach me at [email protected]. Please RT.

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

Largest protest against fascism in Denver, Colorado since 2020. (🎙️ @kylec.bsky.social) Army Veteran George Lee: "I'm not fighting for me, I'm an old guy I'm 75, but I've got two kids ... I'm fighting for them ... I'm hoping for a better world for them." #3E #USprotests #fiftyfiftyone #Feb17

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.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

@juliusgoat.bsky.social

This is horrifying

Last Fall, the Washington Post allowed a right wing group to run a full page ad falsely attacking me for protecting voting rights. Today, Bezos' paper won't accept ads criticizing Elon Musk. Support pro-democracy media. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

This is why there’s been so much silence as Black history and Black books are being purged, and integration efforts dismantled. Many Democrats think the purges are valid and necessary. “Candidly, the attack on over-the-top wokeism was a valid attack."

Tesla shares are the foundation of his power. But it’s a consumer product, so if you destroy the brand, you neutralize him.

Sam Nordquist, a trans man, was tortured over months and murdered by five people. This is the result and the intent of politicians who delegitimize, target, and strip the rights from trans people, who are less than 1% of our population. Their lives and rights matter. www.cnn.com/2025/02/15/u...

The Trump official currently dismantling USAID was caught in a secret meeting with a group of pro-Russian separatists in the Balkans. Those he met with are under American sanctions for trying to restart the Bosnian war in the name of Christian nationalism. 1/

Musk is acting like he runs the U.S. government—but the Constitution does not allow an unelected super-president We’re taking him & DOGE to court to impose consequences I’ll discuss tonight at 6PM ET on @msnbc.com w/ @jonathancapehart.bsky.social

#ICYMI: ProPublica has confirmed the names and roles of more than 30 Musk-affiliated staffers who are helping the world’s richest man dismantle or downsize federal agencies one by one.

Knowledge is power…

“The Maryland National Guard must decline events which celebrates individuals based all or in part on immutable characteristics,” the memo said. Douglass was an abolitionist, suffragist, orator and author. That’s what we celebrate him. Let’s be clear: This bars celebrating him because he was Black.

I’m sorry to keep posting this article, but it is become more urgent with each passing day under Trump and now RFK Jr as they take a wrecking ball to the CDC, NIH, IHS, and soon to Medicaid and Medicare. We can’t wait any longer to resist en masse. www.statnews.com/2025/02/11/a...

SCOOP: The top US election security watchdog has frozen all of its efforts to aid states in securing elections. The move represents the first major example of the country’s cyber defense agency accommodating Trump’s false claims of election fraud and online censorship.

Roses are red, Violets are blue, Elon Musk is a dick, And he’s robbing you too.

Hey, all! Check out the poster @xaqrox.bsky.social made! Please show up if you’re in the DC area. Will post other local Tesla pickets below. If Georgetown is too far, there may be others closer to you. #TeslaTakeover
