When the U.S. Nazi Party says they’re cutting mandatory spending, they’re talking about slashing Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, and paying less on the national debt. These programs are funded by our tax dollars- they’re not handouts. Cutting them is the same as taking money out of your pocket

Still, the DOGE team landed at the Social Security Administration this week, with Musk drawing attention for his outlandish claims that large numbers of 150-year-old “vampires” are receiving Social Security payments. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Good. Of course they’ll stop having town halls, be in the chicken shots that they are. But that doesn’t mean we need to stop yelling.

In just 30 days, Trump has unleashed the deadliest policy shift in modern history. It’s estimated that these are projected to claim between 6.8 million and 8.84 million lives over the next 4 years. They are not speculation but grounded in historical precedent, expert analysis, and hard data. WTH

Marc Elias 2/2 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. ❤️

"Republicans let Trump get away with grabbing women by the private parts, committing crimes, inciting a violent insurrection, throwing our European allies under the bus & praising Putin." I bet they’re also willing to trade democracy for a Crown to put on the head of their Orange Lizard King.

There we go. Joint chiefs chairman out. In all, six Pentagon officials were fired, including Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the first woman to lead the Navy; Gen. James Slife, the vice chief of the Air Force; and the top lawyers for the Army, Navy and Air Force. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

How stupid and arbitrary are Trump's mass firings at federal agencies? A State Dept employee tells me some colleagues are racing to change their job descriptions so phrases like "transnational crime" don't get caught up in DOGE AI bots scanning for words like "trans" to fire people because "DEI."

Adm. Lisa Franchetti’s also fired and was not totally unexpected. Her name was reportedly on a circulated list of officers that the Trump administration was considering sacking for being associated with diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives or for other reasons (DefenseScoop, 2025).

Suicide doesn't only affect adults. Out of fear & despair children can feel there is no longer hope. With no sign of help to rescue them they succumb to suicide. To them there is no choice. We need to help spread this number in the most vulnerable areas to save the children.

. Trump wants control over the USPS to interfere with mail-in votes in the midterms. This is dangerous—tampering with the postal service threatens democracy. Be very clear: voter suppression isn’t strategy; it’s cheating. #FuckTrump #USPS
