Great news! If the cost of living under Trump is screwing you over, so will the GOP tax plan! OK, so there's no good news, actually. Sorry.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

NEW — The National Treasury Employees Union Chapter 282 just emailed its ~8,000 employee members strongly advising them NOT to reply to the “What did you do last week?” email from OPM/Musk.

This is a joke and a waste of taxpayer dollars. Irvine has the first (and hopefully last) police Cybertruck in the U.S. Saw a guy on a video, I think TikTok, ripping parts off a Cybertruck with his bare hands and destroying the doors by slamming them. That car has no business in a police fleet.

See this is exactly where my personality would get me fired because if I was told to enumerate 5 things I did at work it would be 1. Your dad 2. Your dad 3. Your dad 4. Picked up your dad’s viagra at CVS 5. Your dad

I don’t know how many different ways to say that agency personnel don’t work for Elon. They don’t have to report to Elon. They report to their agency leadership, which reports to the President.

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

KEEP PUSHING! If they won’t do a town hall DEMAND ONE

Our military has to get vaccinated before they go ANYWHERE. Smallpox, tuberculosis, malaria, yellow fever. These fuckface pieces of shit know vaccines work.

He’s really picking the wrong city to fuck with this time. bsky.app/profile/atru...

There are 3 special elections coming up and those 3 seats are the keys to stopping the Congressional Republicans doing Trump & Musk’s evil bidding. We need just 1 seat to block them, 2 seats to stop them, and with all 3 we can FLIP THE HOUSE. Join us!! Monday 2/24 @7:30 EST. 👇👇 mobilize.us/s/Y9NrBb

Dan Caine, Trump’s new replacement for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reportedly told Trump, “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.” He also put on a MAGA hat, despite it violating military protocol.

Saving Americans. Loyalty knows no bounds. This is what SHEROs look like. 😍💗

Cece McDonald is an activist who brought national attention to the discrimination and violence imposed on trans women of color. She was assaulted in an anti-trans, anti-black hate crime in 2012 and was subsequently imprisoned 41 months in a male prison for defending herself. #BlackHistoryMonth

They continue to tell this debunked lie 🤥 for a reason: so when they cut social security to pave the way for their tax cuts for the rich you think they had an actual reason to do it.

In 2020, the military was adamant about refusing to get involved in the election. That's why Trump hates General Mark Milley so much. Now, Trump is transforming the military into one that will back him up in 2029. We need to figure out how to prepare for that eventuality.

Right-wing censors are now "quiet banning" books that they can't removed legally. Librarians in Chicago have been finding books dealing with race, LGBTQ+ issues or Islam hidden under shelves, in trash cans or otherwise "disappeared." www.chicagotribune.com/2025/02/22/l...

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

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

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

This is just pure unadulterated insanity. None should respond to this nonsense.

Today 😱

"While Florida insurers claimed to be losing money in the wake of hurricanes Irma and Michael, their parent companies and affiliates were making billions of dollars, according to a study obtained by the Herald/Times." And it appears that the DeSantis administration tried to keep it under wraps.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money, an EARNED benefit!

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

Rep McCormick (Roswell—safe red) can’t gaslight his constituents—but they need to wake up. He won’t do a damn thing to stop Trump. A woman asks about Trump declaring himself “king” & what he will do to stop him. His smugness is off the charts. This is the guy who said hungry kids should get jobs.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

The solution is the #revolution2025

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.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

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...

Power of the people…

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

If you're worried about passing a polygraph, this can help you understand and prepare for it. #godspeed

This is WSJ edit board’s second piece in a week raising escalating alarm about RFK Jr’s groundless & lethal anti-vax predilections and now policies (firing CDC vax experts) — and it pull punches in portraying him as no more & no less than a treacherous corrupt killer www.wsj.com/opinion/rfk-...

Constituent: When will you stand up to them and say that is enough? Rep. Fitzgerald: The end result of the fraud and abuse that has been discovered Crowd: Booo

Yeah these signs aren’t gonna last long lol.
