🚨 🚨 As you find yourself appalled, day after day, by what is happening, never let the far right convince you that you are somehow in the minority. Most Americans agree with you. They do not like what they’re seeing either. 1/

If you support this, you’re an awful human being

Looks like we have even bigger issues. Yikes—the Trump administration is becoming a Russian sympathizer, spreading misinformation about Ukraine. Trump won’t even stand up to Putin, essentially telling him, “Do whatever the hell you want.”

The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.

Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

The Trump administration is using loopholes to maintain spending freezes despite court orders, with political appointees invoking legal authority to justify the pauses while distancing them from Trump’s directives.

Musk is pouring $1.5 million into Wisconsin’s upcoming Supreme Court race.

Trump issued an executive order to drastically shrink the Presidio Trust, the federal agency overseeing San Francisco’s Presidio, a national park site at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge.

The DHS will use polygraphs to question employees about communications with the media or nonprofit organizations in an effort to root out members of the resistance.

Trump administration is planning to use polygraphs to assess federal employee loyalty. There are ways to manipulate polygraph results, and we will provide guidance to coalition members. Polygraph results are not admissible in court due to their potential for false positives and negatives.

Three updates: 1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

A small government team at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, responsible for regulating autonomous cars—which Elon Musk claims are the future of Tesla—is being cut nearly in half by Musk. Conflict of interest?

Some updates: 1. A federal judge extended a restraining order blocking the National Institutes of Health from cutting research funds until she rules on a permanent injunction. 2. The IRS will not allow a member of Elon Musk’s team to access individual tax returns.

I'm glad that this story has been picked up by national and international outlets. One local outlet, D Magazine, has also highlighted the report. The rest of the mainstream news outlets in Dallas have not. Perhaps I'm being impatient but I must admit I'm confused as to why they've yet to pick it up.

This moronic war on EVs is getting out of hand. Its one thing to put a moratorium on new projects. Its entirely another level of malevolent stupidity to shut down existing chargers. www.theverge.com/news/617235/...

Happy b’day “Hotel California” — released as a single 48 years ago today. 🎂 Asked about the meaning, Henley said, “It’s so boring. It's a song about the dark underbelly of the American Dream — and about excess in America, which was something we knew about.”

Fired federal workers share the crucial jobs no longer being done Six people describe what they were doing to benefit public health, safety and the environment www.sciencenews.org/article/fire...

My new favorite drug is Republican members of Congress getting yelled at in their districts by constituents who hate Musk.

HELL YEAH!! The largest organization of professional and amateur surfers has just SLAPPED Donald Trump with a major lawsuit to protect California beaches from off shore drilling. SEE YOU IN COURT!

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

Protesting last weekend was great. What are you doing this week for democracy? Go community, now.

Wise man…

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

Todays hero

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Let me help those who just get mad and post. It will take years and possibly decades to build infrastructure anywhere in Ukraine to be able to mine these minerals. Then, the biggest refiner is China. It will take a decade for the first $ If Zelensky gets what he wants, who benefits the most ?
