Count me in.

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

👀 NEW: the current under secretary of State for Management, Ambassador Tibor Nagy, has sent an email regarding OPM's request for five accomplishments: "No employee is obligated to report their activities outside of their department chain of command."

When these inaccuracies were first found, they could be called "mistakes." When DOGE took efforts to cover them up, they can no longer be considered "mistakes."

DOGE staffer Edward “Big Balls” Coristine is the grandson of Valery Martynov - a “former” KGB spy. That’s right, one of Elon Musk’s young cyber criminals — related to a former KGB spy, and who seemingly did not have to undergo a background check — now has unprecedented access to…

Strong letter from Rep. Gerry Connolly (ranking Dem on House Oversight Committee) to acting OPM Director Chuck Ezell re: 5 bullets email. Calls it “illegal, reckless, and yet another example of the cruel and arbitrary chaos Mr. Musk” has inflicted. Says he must clarify non-response≠resignation.

There's going to be news about a woman illegally detained and being forcely removed from a Coeur d'Alene Idaho Town Hall meeting taking place at the high school by men that would not identify themselves wearing plain clothes because she opposed the republican viewpoints. youtube.com/shorts/hhJdH...

“Please be advised that this email did not originate from the Judiciary or the Administrative Office and we suggest that no action be taken.” www.wired.com/story/doge-e...

I think people are starting to realize that the oligarchs are not just loathsome, but more often than you would think, incredibly stupid

Some federal judiciary employees received the email on Saturday from OPM, even though the court system is not part of the executive branch. www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

We have to go through all of this cybersecurity training every year to recognize phishing attacks and now trump’s mini me is phishing the entire federal government and bragging about it on Twitter

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.

Elon’s mass harassment email to all federal employees underscores the importance of having unions to represent workers against abusive management.

🧪 #resistrfk #warren #HHS @warren.senate.gov Senator Warren held a townhall (2/22). Fired HHS and NSF scientists presented their stories of the chaos Junior and Musk are creating out of the US research community. Warren asks everyone to HHS and NSF to tell their stories. youtu.be/hgbSXeN2vxY

WSJ: “DOGE touts $55 billion in cuts - WSJ counts $2 billion if spending levels remain constant, and only 2% were DEI-related… majority of cuts were research, including Alzheimer’s & traumatic brain injury and education…” www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Minnesota Senator Tina Smith bringing the thunder 🔥

New — State Department employees have been instructed *not* to reply to OPM’s 5 bullet email, per an email I reviewed, saying leadership “will respond on behalf of the Department.”

As you see stories circulating today about Trump having been recruited by Soviet intelligence in 1987, keep the timing and text of the ad below in mind. m.economictimes.com/magazines/pa...

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

This is fucking stupid.

Poland is paying for and will continue to finance Ukraine’s access to Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet system, according to Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski.

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Zelenskyy has shown the world what democracy means. Donald Trump is a convicted felon and a sexual pervert. These two men shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence.

When the butt assed ignorant New York Post is pleading with Mango Mussolini you know it has gone off the rails.

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

Interesting how papers in other countries aren't afraid to call this what it is. elpais.com/mexico/2025-...

I kept thinking, The War on Terror paid for this.

Germans have been subjected to covert Russian propaganda as well as overt American propaganda - jointly in support of the far-right www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/w...

Heroin addict and steroid abuser wants the rest of us to to make as smart decisions about our health as he has.

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

People do have the Power, they just do not utilize it especially in North America. Watch the French, the Germans, they are on the streets when they do not like what they see is happening.

Don’t worry. I’m sure they’re just doing it to troll the @nytimes.com. All coincidences!

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

This is straight extortion. Soldiers will be unable to communicate and people will die.

“I’m in West Virginia — My insulin went from $6 to $80”

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

I know. Others know. Some of us are calling balls and strikes. Others had their balls removed and have struck out.

This is a drug addict who can barely put together a sentence.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

👇🏽

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.
