The traitorous leaders of the U.S. government are not only incompetent, they are sociopaths who derive pleasure from mocking humans in agony. This fits right in with their support of Israeli genocide. What's next? The White House tweeting live executions? They truly believe: "Empathy is weakness".

It seems Russia is now just passing all stolen US tech to North Korea for production, outsourcing it not only for cheap labor but to then deny it's Russia stealing it all. Russia can use it to kill Ukrainians and Kim can destabilize Asia. Meanwhile, Trump craves the approval of both dictators.

DOGE is cutting the jobs of federal employees who perform vital services, including those who had previously received glowing performance reviews. Meanwhile, "Signalgate" shows the level of incompetence you can get away with at the highest levels of Trump's regime. Hello?

Do you find it strange that Trump‘s medical records, school grades, and tax returns are held under a higher level of security than our plans to attack Yemen?

#Greenland only has 56,000 people. If 300 people show up to a protest, that is the equivalent of 2.1 million Americans showing up to a protest. You think Americans can learn a thing or two from Greenlanders?

Elon calls this “a revolution” and trots out the sociopathic line Lutnick said about seniors who don’t get their social security checks — saying the “fraudsters” are who complain loudest. Not an ounce of empathy among them.

Goldberg said the level of detail in the targeting package that he received via Signal was down to the names of individuals to be killed. That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF. I’d be in prison if I fucked up that bad.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

THIS FRAUDSTER IS PROMISING THIS If you give WH faith adviser Paula White $1,000 before Easter, she promises that you will receive "seven supernatural blessings.": "God will assign an angel to you ... He'll give you prosperity. He'll take sickness away from you. He will give you long life."

#ResistanceRoots #Voices4Victory Today in history, 1933: The German Reichstag passes the Enabling Act, overriding constitutional checks and balances and giving Hitler and his Cabinet the power to make and enforce laws. It was the pivotal step in Germany’s transition to a Nazi dictatorship. /1

🧵1/2 Elon Musk is so desperate to control Wisconsin’s Supreme Court, he’s funding fake ads pretending to support Judge Susan Crawford — just to turn voters against her with phony “progressive” messages filled with misleading lies. Don’t fall for it. Read this: tinyurl.com/Elon-Schimel

Experts on authoritarianism warn and history proves that repressed populations who fail to push back against authoritarian creep suffer worse outcomes than those who do. Fighting back at every turn - LOUDLY, RESOLUTELY, FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES - is no longer optional. It's our only path forward! 👊

Pritzker: The question I ask is: if you’re willing to hand the keys to Europe over to Putin, what’s next? How does the US retain its leadership in the world when he’s essentially retreating to our own borders? He’s even made enemies of the Canadians—I can’t imagine anything more telling than that.

When republicans repeatedly bounce against the Constitution, testing and probing it for weakness in it's defenses, it's not for love of country, it's treason.
