Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

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

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

FFS New York Times. They’re not *his generals. Unbelievable

Mathias Risse dissects JD Vance’s Munich speech, exposing how the VP is gaslighting the world on #democracy, #rights, and #misinformation. A must-read for anyone concerned with the erosion of truth in public discourse. @harvardcarrcenter.bsky.social #SurveillanceCapitalism #AI

Ilhan Omar introduced an amendment to make corporations pay their fair share. Instead, the GOP voted it down and have moved along the budget bill that would strip $880 BILLION from Medicaid. Fun fact - that's the ENTIRE budget. #HandsOffMyMedicaid

youtu.be/K_PcrqEIK3w?... PROTEST MUSIC!!!!!

Amen.

Looking like a dork aside, hurting grandma, the economy, and the military without much thought is definitely peak MAGA.

Amen to that.

WTG WISCONSIN VOTERS!!! KEEP UP THE PRESSURE!!

Funny how Trump is gutting every organization that have looked into him.

Forget "Resistance." We need to "Punch Trump in the face" each day in an effort to make headlines and knock him off his game. And this week we saw two Democratic governors and a former NFL player "punch" the crap out of Trump. My new article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/this-week-...

It feels like people are waking up

This will keep rising! 💪 It’s only just beginning! (I pray to God the far Left doesn’t sabotage it!)

Infuriating! 😡 Don’t Cut My Medicaid! The majority of my son’s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! 🤬 And we’re not alone!

My son suffers from MRSA ,Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in his lungs. It is deadly The research, science are all needed to find more drugs to fight this. Study: Growth of Antibiotic-Resistant Infections Could Have Massive Human, Financial Costs pioneerinstitute.org?p=31662

Gotta watch the local and state politics - this is where they're trying to solidify their fascist grip on our country.

The nations top research universities (R1) are under assault by the Trump administration. Pitts has paused all PhD admissions for next year. Many R1 schools are also Division 1 NCAA schools. All SEC, Big 10, ACC, Big 12, Ivy League schools. Suspend sports and explain it is due to Musk, Trump

Good to see the power of the people is still alive. We the people govern ourselves in a democracy.

BREAKING: International terrorist Erik Prince gives away the entire game, admits that the dismantling of USAID was to provide a “demand signal” for “the private market,” e.g. Blackwater. Transnational organized crime, right out loud. Revolution will be necessary.

They’re coming for your retirement so Elon Musk can keep playing with rockets.

General CQ Brown gave 40 years to this country—not to a president—only to be forced out for it. This is what service looks like. This is what sacrifice looks like. A hero. A patriot. 🫡 🇺🇸

Unfortunately I won’t be to DC in time, but this rally for Ukraine is happening in Lincoln memorial. Attend if you can and Slava Ukrainii!

UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices" muskwatch.com/subscribe

Completely nuts.

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.

Raise your hand if you find this shocking. 👀 Um...not seeing any hands. Convicted Felon Donald Trump and Muskolini's corruption is right out in the open for all to see. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #TrumpIsACriminal www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

1/ "The Trump administration has blocked key parts of the federal government’s apparatus for funding biomedical research, effectively halting progress on much of the country’s future work on illnesses like cancer and addiction despite a federal judge’s order to release grant money."

Here’s what is going on. When you start firing the military’s top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.

When I want to feel hopeful, I remember I hold my political beliefs because progressive taxation, equality of all citizens, peaceful co-existence & anti-fascism are morally & logically superior to MAGA fascism. I can hope the scales will fall from the eyes of others. Lots of work in the meantime.
