Dear Feds, Epically long emails. Use all the acronyms. Reference EO, laws, and statutes. Copy/paste your position descriptions. Make it hurt, crash the system.

@beyer.house.gov @markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov Who is actually running the government? It's not Congress. It's not Trump. Is it Musk??

Voters are confronting. The press has been mostly sleeping on this or, worse, whitewashing this as "savings."

"Trump 2028" Stickers Were Handed Out During Republicans' Latest Conference." ~by Alexa Lisitza It's not in the 'Planning Stage' ... it's in the 'Starting Stage' which makes the 2026 Midterms extremely important.

Why we need a bunch of new Democratic leaders to take over—like right now The system that got us here can not get us out.

Does DOGE know about this??

This really feels like 2009 with the rise of the "Tea Party"

Whether or not the J6 choir ends performing there or not, it is time to boycott the Kennedy Center. It is now a purely political enterprise having been hijacked to support an anti-democracy, white supremacist, anti-American agenda. Attending and supporting the institution is aiding that agenda.

Imagine being a woman who rises to a position of tremendous power and authority in military leadership and then a guy who hosted Fox & Friends is like: yeah u had it too easy getting here so ur fired

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

“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.

Oh boy, a cyberplane by tesla. Hopefully, the panels will fall off with orange mussolini onboard.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

They're called swasticars.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

EVERY billionaire is a policy mistake.

#NATO's Article 5 was only invoked once, by 🇺🇸 asking for defence after 9/11 As a result, 1,105 European and Canadian soldiers died in the 20-year Afghanistan war - 1/3 of all coalition casualties I don't recall the Europeans demanding America surrender its mineral wealth in exchange for their help

This is ... insane.

Not for nothing, but me and my posse of women would spend our days pissing the "biological male" rooms. Fucking arrest us!

Just as the Founding Fathers intended.

Of course, with fascism, none of what I'm about to say may matter, but we really need democrats who have a firm understanding of the world today! Not how it was 30 years ago.

This theme of "you just haven't had correct sex" is disgusting and has been used as a justification for rape for goddam ever.

my retirement plan is moving to a country with universal health care in 5 yrs or being killed fighting for democracy why the fuck would I care about making sure I’m covered at retirement age if literally none of our systems are designed to get ppl to a retirement age? not chasing the carrot

Anyone else find it weird that Delaware Democrats are tripping over themselves to rewrite state law so Elon Musk can get his $55 billion pay package? Bueller? prospect.org/justice/2025...

#SecDef #Veterans #VetSky Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth will be firing Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of our US Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. Why? Because he had refused to pledge his loyalty to Trump.

I think Trump-watchers urgently need to retire the idea of a "transactional" foreign policy. In the light of what's happening, this is another rationalization of something much darker.
