Governor Mills of Maine has more courage than every single GOP politician in USA. More of this please, Trump is a f’n coward, stand up to him. Stand up for USA. F*ck MAGA.

DID YOU KNOW: We had fewer federal workers in 2024 than we had in 1970?

🗣️WATCH: “Pull your head up. We got this. We are in this together.” @tequilamjohnson.bsky.social gets a standing ovation in rural Tennessee as she points to the resilience of Black folks throughout history to say Trump is not a hurdle that 🇺🇸 can’t overcome.

My autocorrect just tried to turn "werk" to "twerk" instead of "work." Dammit, even my phone is having more fun than I am!

Ooh, I know: the Black guy and the woman. Not qwhite sure why, though.

Love Maine!

I have never seen anyone hate workers more than Elon.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau makes sure you don't get scammed by digital payment companies and car lenders. Elon Musk’s role as CEO of X Money and Tesla makes DOGE’s takeover of the CFPB a clear conflict of interest. @schiff.senate.gov and I are pressing for answers.

America is becoming is one horrible wwf, real housewives of mira lago, apprentice dc, dr Phil reality show.

It’s Tuesday! Be a helper!

"Trump and Musk are testing the limits, trying to sell America on being an authoritarian state—but they can’t do it unless we allow them to do so."

I'm reading Matthew 25:31-40 as liturgist tomorrow. If I can get through it without bawling after this past week, it will be a miracle!

Play confirmation hearing mad libs. Senators put aside [dangerous fringe beliefs] and lack of experience and vote [name of nominee] into the secretary of [essential department]. Millions of [victims] will [type of suffering or destruction].

The debt itself is not the emergency. Inequality is. And DOGE is cutting programs for the poor to clear the way for Trump’s tax cuts for corporations and the rich, making it worse. DOGE is a transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top. See it for what it is.

Cha-Ching. But there’s no conflict of interest. Trump administration set to purchase $400 million worth of armored Teslas www.npr.org/2025/02/13/g...

Musk gets $billions from the federal government, fires middle class workers, cuts benefits for disadvantaged people, and cuts funding for cancer research. 21st century villains.

Q: “You said $50 million in condoms were sent to Hamas. That wasn’t true.” Musk: “Some of the things I say will be incorrect. Nobody is gonna bat 1000.” 🤷🏻

Sometimes I can’t decide what character Elon musk is: a Bond villain, the man who heralded in the terminator future, or some tyrannical space emperor from a Flash Gordon movie.

Maybe I’m looking for glimmers, but the eagles victory and Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show made me feel like we can do this.

Imagine risking jail to not teach state propaganda to children. The next generation is the facist’s prize.

Woke up very early this morning thinking we had to cancel school due to the storm. But it’s Sunday!

It's a coup.

Where have I seen this before? encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a...

It will be so imperial. 👑

Renowned for cheating workers out of agreed upon pay and benefits, Trump and Elon’s resignation offer has a few strings including we may not pay you and you can’t do anything about it.

Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them at one point as “targets.” The website lists mostly Black employees.

Running through her brain is the realization that Trump/Miller/musk have a place for her and it’s not what she thought.

The Defense Intelligence Agency has ordered a pause of all activities and events designed to celebrate women and minorities, in order to comply with President Trump's executive order, according to a memo obtained by NBC News. nbcnews.to/3PZRxw6
