They want us to be afraid. They want us to hesitate. They want us to fear their next move. Fuck that shit. We are just getting started fighting.

I don’t know why this is hard for folks to understand. The layoffs aren’t just about probationary employees. They are going beyond that. It won’t stop. It’s all about making agencies non-functional.

There is not a snowball’s chance in hell that Christopher Wray, Merrick Garland, and President Biden hadn’t known for at least four fucking years that Donald Trump was a Russian asset. If they didn’t, then every single one of our intelligence agencies….sucked. In short: They fucking knew.

Folks, here’s a running short list of some of Trump’s terrible actions that are turning his voters & supporters away from him and the Republican GOP. We ALL need to dog-pile these issues, bull horn them, and remind all voters what a terrible choice he & his party was, and is! Support is eroding!

We need a decisive pro-democracy, pro-rule-of-law intervention against the Putin/Trump/Musk dictatorship, by American civilian & military leaders, who have sworn an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic." Please share!

Per @cturnbull1968.bsky.social: “Dear DNC, if you don’t run political ads with Elon holding a chainsaw, combined with video of a chainsaw cutting Grandma’s social security benefits and healthcare, I’m going to file a suit against you for gross negligence.”

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. That starts with banning super PAC donations in Dem primaries. There’s no way the party can speak for the majority of working people in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

Oh nothing to see here — just the United States of America aligning itself with Russia and against Europe. This is fine. Totally fine.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

I want to remind you that less than 90 days ago, we had the White House...and a President who could influence, sway...and as we know now...even CONTROL the DOJ, FBI, and other agencies. Intel briefings gave them access to, oh, a million times more information about the rapid approaching 1/2

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

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.

Feels like I'm missing something. Even setting aside the clear corruption and conflict of interest, why would SpaceX know how to "overhaul air traffic control"? Is the knowledge required to launch a rocket every few months really transferable to managing 7,500 planes in the air?
