Trump called out Maine for resisting his executive order on transgender athletes. Trump: "Are you not going to comply with that?” Gov. Janet Mills: "I'm complying with the state and federal laws." Trump said "we are the federal law" and threatened to withhold funding. Mills: "See you in court."

Unfortunately I won’t be to DC in time, but this rally for Ukraine is happening in Lincoln memorial. Attend if you can and Slava Ukrainii!

Trump’s every act demonstrates his belief that power is vested in him personally, and affirms that he is bent on amassing more. The new cover of The Economist.

Yep.

Thoughts?! 👇

This! Enough with pain for us and not for them.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

It's your money. Don't let them take it!

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Here we go. Certain generals must be removed before any martial law plan is put into action—as Trump and Hegseth are worried there may still be some generals out there who support the Constitution rather than his proposed dictatorship. This is a political purge intended as a precursor to far more.

They haven't stressed us out enough, so why not ruin our vacations? I'm sure the tourism industry, and communities with tourist economies, are going to be VERY pleased with Cheetolini.

This will especially hurt rural folks

wearing sunglasses inside and following an event where he at times had a hard time speaking coherently, Elon Musk walks off the CPAC stage waving around a chain saw. this is the guy currently running our government. Congrats, America!

Apparently, figures of speech are only ok when magats use them. When the rest of us use them, they're weaponized against us. It's blatant intimidation to silence critics. Welcome to autocracy.

Trump's approval ratings suck. If you are a citizen, don't be scared - resist relentlessly. We're the majority. If you are in Congress, this should embolden you to oppose him. If you are a journalist, find your balls with your ethics & start treating him like the deeply unpopular leader that he is.

People on X are calling for AOC's arrest for posting this.... so I am posting it everywhere!

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the United States. It is also laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world. And the oligarchy is cheering them on. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/paying-off-putin

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

I long for a day...just one...when the headlines aren't horrifying. I'm forgetting what that was like.
