Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

Get ready for a continuous occupation of the National Mall until Donald Trump is impeached and removed from office. #3E #EndOligarchy #USProtests

Meta got an arbitrator to order the author of a tell-all book about Facebook to stop promoting it. So whatever you do, don't read this book: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/careless-p...

What’s to stop the Trump regime from arresting American citizens who support any cause the regime doesn’t like? Where, may I ask, are the “First Amendment absolutists” these days? Where are all the Republicans who for years have accused liberals of “cancelling” their views?

Call to Action: Nationwide General Strike incoming. At least 11 million people are needed to pledge, that's nearly 3.5% of the US population. When the number hits 11 million it's time to strike. Spread widely. Pledge today: generalstrikeus.com #3E #GSUS #USprotests

Zampolli founded ID Model Mgmt and ran in the same social circles as Epstein, even running a charity with Ghislaine Maxwell. He says he introduced Melania to Donald at the Kit Kat Club in NY. He facilitated her move to the U.S. from Slovenia after finding her during a scouting trip to Europe.

If Tesla's stock drops far enough, the bank loans Elon took out to buy Twitter lose their collateral and get called back immediately. Which is why Elon is panicking, Trump is panicking, and their shadow backers are all panicking.

Any Jew with a sense of history should be leading the condemnation of Trump police state tactics. The ADL’s alliance with Nazis in support of ethno-nationalist war criminals is a betrayal of its mission and the end of its legitimacy.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Did he just withdraw us from the conflict entirely?

Basic authoritarian stuff: the government revolves around protecting the President and punishing his enemies. Completely inconsistent with democratic norms, but will barely be a blip in the news in our new regime.

📌I was the managing editor at Stars and Stripes and can tell you that Pete Hegseth is the first SecDef I am aware of to be openly booed by military families on a military base. 📌This is the most significant pushback I have seen to this administration's racist, hostile initiatives.

A.P.: “.. It is among the most basic tenets of the First Amendment that the government cannot retaliate against the public or the press for what they say.” @nytimes.com @apnews.com www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/b...

Elon Musk says he is going to investigate federal employees whose net worth appears excessive. How does he know their net worth if he hasn’t broken into the government’s IRS and other databases, which the courts have ordered him not to do? And is he now acting head of the IRS, FBI, and DOJ? l

This is a REALLY important distinction. Buckle up.

This is the escalation I’ve been dreading. I don’t think I’m alone.

Protestors outside the US treasury shout "lock him up" as calls for Elon Musk's arrest increase nationwide. #3E #USprotests #DOGE #UStreasury

This is straight up ethic cleansing

REAGAN: “Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies; they are our allies… beware of demagogues ready to declare a trade war against our friends—weakening our economy, national security, and the entire free world—while cynically waving the 🇺🇸 flag.” Trump’s bad ideas are not new.

what Musk is doing is as close to the government being taken over by a hostile foreign power in our lifetimes, the coverage should reflect that

On our Instagram page, a commenter tells us their conversion story from being “school choice” voucher advocate — once they realized what (and who) was really behind it all 👇🏽 #LeesVoucherScam

Good. Learn more about your rights when approached by ICE at www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...

Truth: Simply being present in the U.S. without legal authorization is not a crime: it is a civil offense, not subject to criminal punishment. False: Leavitt's statement below that everyone who broke immigration laws is a criminal. Now let's ask if Trump-Homan policies are based on same falsehood

I have heard from multiple sources today that lawyers who provide Know Your Rights presentations in ICE detention centers have been kicked out completely. These presentations are sometimes the only way people in detention find out details about the process they’re going through.

Trump is moving to close down the Civilian Protection Center of Excellence (CP CoE) at the Department of Defense. The CP CoE is responsible for helping to mitigate civilian casualties and responding to civilian harm in active combat environments.

Former D.C. Metro police officer Michael Fanone to Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes: "Go f*ck yourself." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

We were sent this video by a worker whose labors under a UFW contract at Gallo vineyards. They are pruning vines that will produce Cabernet wines. Workers tell us that these are the hardest type of vine to prune requiring extra skill and precision. #WeFeedYou

2025. In America. Madness.

Oh.

Nothing to see here. Literally. Download the Constitution because it no longer appears on whitehouse.gov. When you search for it, a lot of other bullet point shit appears (ending birthright citizenship, etc). 🚨 WE IGNORE THIS AT OUR OWN PERIL 🚨

This is NOT a reason for exercising the pardon power & it's not a legitimate use of presidential authority even if Trump is legally entitled to do it. Rewarding people for their political support of your candidacy by pardoning their kids is a sign of political corruption.

The next four years are going to require irrational acts of bravery and solidarity. Lead with love.

My team deciphered the Mark Meadows’s text messages surrounding January 6th. We found the Ginny Thomas texts. We created the “Monster” call analysis from over 30M data lines. We found the links. Accountability didn’t happen. The people spoke. Around 80M voters didn’t care about J6. I care.
