Have you heard about the gutting of Social Security? Please spread the work! @georgetakei.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com www.threads.net/@jesscraven1...

The Richest Man In The World Is Coming After Your Social Security crooksandliars.com/cltv/2025/03...

You can either support the United States of America and our democracy, or you can support trump. You cannot do both.

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

Remember.

Shitler just canceled any peace talks bc he is offended that Zelenskyy stood his ground. Let me be clear: Zelenskyy didn’t offend the US. We have always stood by our allies in defending democracy. Shitler & CouchFuqr wanted someone to buff their egos. Zelenskyy is too much of a man to do that.

It's time to stand up and speak out. Call (202) 224-3121 and tell your representatives to not let Donald Trump and his administration take away your services.

This will be a long series of posts. Important read. Please share EVERYWHERE. Report from the Senate Floor: Last night in the Senate, something really important happened. Republicans forced us to debate their billionaire bailout budget framework.

Is Donald Trump going to respond to Musk’s email and report on what he did last week? To help, I’ve gone ahead and done it for him. A thread:

Good morning ☀️ Abortion bans show that MAGA wants women to die. Article highlights TX: www.rawstory.com/texas-aborti... It’s happening in all Red states. That it’s happening at all should enrage us to the core. Sisters, rise. #FightForWomenToLive #SheShed

Just an unpleasant reminder as they say HogSnout is about to go after the military hierarchy. We are about to see purges of rational and thoughtful human beings from the world’s most powerful military.

Thank you Canada

Let's be perfectly clear here: the people who could actually stop the administrative coup of the U.S. government are any given half dozen Republican senators and representatives, if they had any courage at all.

They're using fear to bully you into compliance. Fear of losing your job, your savings, your Medicare/medicaid, your rights, your freedom. They're using fear to bully our allies, to break our alliances and promises. What do they have to fear? Nothing so far. That needs to change.

CFPB - closed USAID - closed Medicaid - under attack NIH cancer funding - frozen Department of Education - under attack But do you know who just got a NEW government contract for $38,858,978 literally today? SpaceX — owned by Elon Musk

President Musk has big plans for the US, although none of them involve any actual benefits for Americans. #ProudBlue

Kendrick Lamar showed more courage in the face of rising American tyranny than we’ve seen from ANY former American leader. If you swore an oath to protect this nation, where are you now? youtube.com/shorts/keNw6...

“The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.” — Albert Einstein

U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI) announced earlier today he will introduce legislation entitled the "Elon Musk Act". Give it a read. The conflict of interest (along with so many other things) seems blatantly obvious to me. Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

After declaring that all Palestinians should be removed from Gaza and that the US should take "ownership" of the strip, Trump issues an executive order ending US funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).

Fascism survives so long as the evil at the top is supported by cowards below. Is any Republican in Congress willing to stand against Elon Musk and for the American People? Or will they sit in cowardly complicity with the evil of their leaders?

HAPPENING NOW: members of Congress led by @maxwellfrost.bsky.social are attempting to enter the Treasury Building to demand answers re: Musk’s unconstitutional money grab

This is ethnic cleansing. Live Updates: Trump Says Palestinians Have ‘No Alternative’ but to Leave Gaza www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

The current occupant of the White House & his corrupt party do not intend for free & fair elections to ever happen again in our country. They have been preaching their anti-democracy, anti-voting rhetoric for years, & have groomed their followers to repeat it. Stop them #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Don’t act shocked. Both of them told us what they were going to do… “we don’t need your votes”-DJT The damn manual was out there-Project 2025 And this👇🏼

They’re coming for us, and ‘allies’ are silent. We need everyone LOUD! Trump’s orders are stripping trans kids of life-saving care. Musk is amplifying extremism. We’re losing America in real time. 👀 Is anyone there, or are we screaming into the void? #TransRightsAreHumanRights #StopTheCoup

Elon Musk committed the largest & worst data breach & information system hijacking that has ever occurred in America. The police who should investigate (the FBI) & the prosecutors who should prosecute (the DOJ), he controls them too, via trump. Republicans shrug it off. And no one protects us.

Please and thank you

Good morning He’s only been in office 2 weeks. Dems have to show up at every govt office he has shut down or restricted. Make a spectacle. Get on every local news, Sue in every court, block every appointment. Stop thinking this a normal presidency

Picture this: a South African billionaire, neck-deep in your confidential info from the US Treasury, doing who-knows-what with it. Plus, he’s got a vendetta against USAID for dismantling apartheid while he lived it up as a privileged white boy in SA–so he’s causing chaos and killing babies in Africa

Don't let Republicans mislead you—it's corporate greed driving up costs, not the Biden-Harris Admin. Companies use 'economic uncertainty' as an excuse to hike prices. #CorporateGreed

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you. Do something

Anyone??!

Over the weekend, someone asked why I stay engaged in politics despite the induced rage. Simple— I like food without salmonella/listeria. I like clean air and waterways. I like ppl not having polio. I like when ppl can love/marry whoever. I like when women have control over their own bodies.

Should the richest man in the world be able to shut down a federal program because he wants to? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

1.It never starts with a dictator.It starts with gov’t that lets one man decide everything. Congress won’t act.Courts won’t intervene.The public is too exhausted to fight back.”Temporary” power grabs become permanent.And suddenly, democracy is gone #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

here's today's post: "incompetent imbecile sabotages California’s water supply" — millions of gallons gone, for a pointless photo-op. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

This brillant piece of journalism was crafted by Charley Reese - his final column for the Orlando Sentinel - nearly a quarter-century ago! However, his eloquent words still resonate - and perhaps even more so today - than they did in 2001! I strongly urge everyone to read, and hopefully, REPOST!
