One of the most powerful political cartoons I have seen. Follow the artist at @ellabaron.bsky.social.

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

I’ve been doing a lot of research about the people being laid off at the national parks and it turns out it has nothing to do with DEI or performance. It’s a land grab so they can drill baby drill.

if you get tired, learn to rest, not to quit.

Letter from congress that is incredibly alarming. Looks like #DOGE got access to #nasa and they use the word ominous. democrats-science.house.gov/imo/media/do...

“Former vice president and 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris received a hero’s reception, including multiple standing ovations & enthusiastic applause, at the 2025 #NAACPImageAwards, where she was on hand to receive the Chairman’s Award.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

Verbijstering over mail Musk, eist van alle ambtenaren lijst met prestaties #nieuws

History doesn’t rhyme but it does something something

What I Accomplished Last Week: 5 Bullet Points for My Boss 1. Pondered the great question of our time (“Who is the administrator of DOGE?????”) 2. Read some court filings that did not reveal the DOGE administrator’s identity 3. Asked Elon Musk to tell me who the administrator of DOGE is (no reply)

“Why is my information in there?” asked Kathy Gavin, one of millions of people whose data was collected by the gun industry. “Why did you need it or want it? Yes, you could use it to pummel me with postcards, but what else are you doing with it?”

Ukraine war briefing: Volodymyr Zelenskyy praises Keir Starmer for pledge of ‘ironclad support’

‘It’s blackmail’: Ukrainians react to Trump demand for $500bn share of minerals www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

It would probably help if more US citizens had even the slightest clue about why things like NATO exist.

Et tu, @pbs.org? Would you have held a panel with RFK Jr, Dr Oz & Dr Mengele as well? We know CNN would’ve.

You can see what is happening. Social media post lies about Democratic officials having millions of dollars. It doesn’t matter if they are lies. They are amplified as truth. Outraging the MAGA cult. These are Nazi tactics. The unwarranted arrests will come.

Money does not get sent directly to Ukraine. It is mostly used in America to build new weapons. If money has gone missing. It’s likely in the bank accounts of American oligarchs.

The Bureau of Prisons is moving forward with plans to move transgender inmates out of prisons that align with their gender identity and into facilities that align with their assigned sex at birth.

NEW: Elon Musk’s team has descended on an already understaffed Social Security Administration, which now faces further workforce cuts and closures of vital local offices. The consequences could be significant for millions of the most vulnerable Americans.

“The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up.” Some federal employees, both in public and behind closed doors, are resisting Elon Musk’s orders using whatever means they have. nyti.ms/3D4V7T2

Public health teams are being gutted, imperiling work to safeguard organ donation and prevent maternal and infant death. “We are hollowing out our government in a way that is going to hurt people and is going to get people killed.” https://propub.li/4370xr2

Outrageous hypocrisy

Wow! Congrats to Bluesky for passing the milestone of 32 MILLION users. Spread the word!! 💙🦋 bsky-users.theo.io

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

He nails it.

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...

“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.

Musk’s blitzkrieg is unnerving many of Trump’s senior advisers www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

#ProudBlue To all registered voters who “sat out the November 2024 election” You know what’s going on in the country right now. What was it exactly that made you NOT vote for DEMOCRACY, DECENCY, HUMAN RIGHTS, SANITY, etc? Fascism is here and taking root. By NOT VOTING, you allowed it.

BREAKING: It was just revealed that DOGE fired the top authority for all nuclear-safety matters at the National Nuclear Security Administration. Total incompetence that puts all of us at risk.

This is huge! Trump is ramming his agenda through now, so he can’t be stopped later—shock & awe. But look at these approval numbers—he’s underwater on our major issues. Public opinion is against Trump & his policies—his approval rating is historically low. It’s only going to get worse… MUCH worse.

More information to fight the disinformation the Felon spread today!

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!
