Trump and Musk are a living monument to the worst excesses of human nature—an exhausting blend of arrogance, ignorance, greed, selfishness, narcissism, and the kind of misplaced confidence that has already fueled a thousand horrible decisions that will ultimately hurt millions of everyday Americans.

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 could not agree more… The voices of our former presidents and vice presidents would help validate the gravity of the moment. They need to step forward. All hands on deck! NOW.

✊🏼We stand with Ukraine! Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦💙🇺🇸

Price of Eggs ⬆️ Price of Groceries ⬆️ Price of Gas ⬆️ Measles Cases ⬆️ Fed Employees Without Jobs ⬆️ Anti-American Sentiment ⬆️ American Planes ↘️

I'm starting to think DEI may have been the only reason so many planes stayed in the sky...

WTF

Look at all the photos.. all the people braving cold temps!

Musk’s staffers are accessing the heavily guarded Internal Revenue Service (IRS) system, which contains detailed financial information on every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Fascism thrives on fear and exhaustion. Reclaiming joy, laughter, and leisure (as one is able, of course) is an act of resistance. Dear sister, please rest. 🫶🏾

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Hell yah Canada.

Meanwhile, here in Ohio – The first case of bird flu in a human, even though you wouldn’t know it because the CDC’s weekly flu report is two weeks behind. www.wkyc.com/article/news...

I love that the mental equals are having a staring contest!!

Truly sad and humiliating to see Donald Trump, the President, just sit there weak and quiet as Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire, acts like the President and talks to the media in the Oval Office. Wild scene.

Nailed it 🏆

The point about Trump’s deranged comments about Gaza is that we’re wasting precious seconds talking about Trump’s deranged comments about Gaza and not unelected Elon Musk’s coup to dismantle our government.

There are thousands of families that are affected by this. My cousin's wife works for USAID. She earned her PhD, and is a career employee with a great deal of expertise. They've lived in several different countries for her job. Their son is in his freshman year of college.

“They want to divide us. They want white people to blame Black and Latino people for every tragedy, every problem, every harm. And they want Black and Latino people to react not only with hurt but with justifiable anger.” open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Why aren’t a lot more Democrats standing up LOUDLY and FORCEFULLY to Trump and his agenda? At the very least, they should be holding daily press conferences talking about rising egg, coffee and gas prices; Trump’s blatantly illegal executive orders; and how he’s destroying America’s global standing.

They are absolutely flooding the zone. People are fighting back at every level, on every issue. I know it’s scary, but we have collectively only begun to fight, and we won a big one today. We will keep fighting.

To ALL Members of Congress: Speaking out against Executive Orders is NOT enough, WE NEED A PLAN. We NEED you to ASSURE us that you are working on SOMETHING. Calling evil & cruelty out is the LEAST we expect, and we NEED to know what YOU are doing to STOP these ILLEGAL acts w/o Congress Permission.🚨

Let's be clear: the Medicaid portal went offline because of Donald Trump's orders. The only reason it is back on is due to outrage from the American people. Now, they are trying to lie about it. Medicaid was never taken away from Americans under President Biden.

We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life & history, there is such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action. ~MLK Jr

Trump cannot abrogate birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment by way of executive order. That’s not how constitutional rights work.
