It would be a shame if we all flooded musk’s email ⬇️ [email protected] This is the email address musk is asking federal workers to email detailing their tasks during the week 🚨 you know what to do 🚨

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

The Trump Administration has cost our country over 22,406 American jobs. trumpcostsamerica.com

And proud of it!

The six factions dismantling democracy—but they don’t share the same endgame. Some are pawns. Some hold real power. If we don’t recognize this now, we won’t be able to stop it. #Democracy #NRx #Project2025 #Resistance

List 19 dropped 💙 let me know if you would like to be included, anyone over the 59 spots I have left I'll add to list 20. I only add people who follow me. Happy connecting my friends! Let's fight to save democracy together. go.bsky.app/DmXCYkH

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

A dictatorship that kills people from democracies if they say something inconvenient hosting another dictatorship that does the same and a country run by a wannabe dictator who wants people jailed for saying anything inconvenient gathered to decide the fate of a democracy that wasn’t even invited?

Democrats should be running ads nonstop in red districts that show how Trump has hurt the people there. Airplane safety, health benefits, VA, everything. Lay it out there. Go full paranoia about Musk and DOGE shits getting private info. And tell voters to call their rep/senator and give them hell.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

It's always been the case that "buying" an ebook from amazon was only actually a loan they could rescind at any point, but lately Amazon have gone harder on this, and it is 100% so that they can wipe banned books from your libraries without your consent. Buy direct from authors. Get your files.

The geniuses at the Democratic Party settling on “maybe we were too woke” rather than “a cabal of billionaire pedophile Nazis are stealing your money and taking a sledgehammer to your future” is astonishing. Just one of those things

Please share far and wide

AND ALSO THERE'S A COUP

Elon Musk went after each agency who is (was?) currently investigating his companies.

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941

During COVID I distracted myself by collecting vintage art. I needed beauty and the talent of artists in trying political times. This 1927 poster by John Heartfield was one of my favorites. Little did I know that he was better known for a political poster, which is in the comments.

The removal of a transgender reference from the National Park Service’s Stonewall website wasn’t done by NPS staff. Elon, care to elaborate?

One of the Valentine’s Day themed movies played at @thompsonmaggie.bsky.social ‘s local library was GASLIGHT (1944). Perfect choice for 2025! 🎥🍿😜

Read the letter of resignation from SDNY AUSA Hagan Scotten, Bronze Star recipient, former clerk to Chief Justice Roberts. Bravo! 👏👏👏
