“Where does it end? In America, the President is neither a King nor a dictator, as much as this one tries to act like it—and it is the rule of law that prevents him from being so.” —the defiant Maine Gov. Janet Mills www.americaamerica.news/p/what-does-...

The Trump administration is canceling presentations including book talks on important civil rights issues at the Carter Center & possibly elsewhere. Let’s celebrate these authors by buying & reading their books. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/a...

"President Trump will work from early in the morning until late in the evening. He will make many calls and have many meetings.”

Amen to that.

WATCH: “When will you stand up to them and say that is enough?” WISCONSIN Republicans Grothman & Fitzgerald run into tough town hall crowds also 👇🏽👀

Fired federal workers share the crucial jobs no longer being done Six people describe what they were doing to benefit public health, safety and the environment www.sciencenews.org/article/fire...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

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."

📣 Protests need a specific demand. We demand an investigation into the 2024 election outcome! Why did t-rump brag about Musk having expertise in voting machines and then thanked him?? @gregpalast.bsky.social @adamkinzinger.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social youtu.be/MA4as9O1Jj8?...

"Friendship knows no boundaries! This dog waits every day for his dolphin friend 🐶🐬❤️"

He nails it.

This is how it’s done.

Governor Janet Mills, effectively told Trump, “I won’t bow down, mushroom boy!”

Maine Governor Janet Mills ‘See you in court.’

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

who’s gonna do it, who will be the hero we needed

Donald Trump is wearing an EXTRA LARGE DIAPER today because he is FULL of shit! 💩 Good for Maine Governor Janet Mills for standing up to the bully. I wished someone had her back! Maine Politics is going to be hit hard by Trump & Musk, they better start speaking out before it is TOO late!

Abuse of power is disgusting. This cruel rapist must be removed from power or we’re all fucked. Even maga. He doesn’t give a shit about anyone now that he’s consolidated power for nefarious ways.

Laguna Beach is an art colony. We support the arts. Chip Bok is the brilliant award-winning political cartoonist that created this artwork.

Donald Trump just fired a well-respected General who was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And his Administration announced they’re replacing other officers, too. The purge of people of stature and independence goes on.

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

Democratic governors should have all walked out together midway through that meeting but especially after Trump's attack on Gov. Janet Mills. I don't know why they didn't. Makes no sense.

Governor Mills of Maine…YOU'RE A FREAKIN ROCK STAR !

More of this

TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here? JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply? JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

So I heard about the disastrous GA town hall for that Republican rep. 🤣 This possibility is probably why Senator Susan Collins NEVER does town halls in Maine. She doesn’t want to take the chance. Coward not to face the people.

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.

DOGE means breaking America from the inside. We are under attack rapid fire bloodless attack that will result in America destroyed as we know it. DOGE shut funding spigot for medical research. Scientists are calling it ‘the end of science’ in America www.yahoo.com/news/doge-sh...

Love it!

All the GOP MAGA are 100% for states' rights, until is Governor Janet Mills in our great state of Maine. 🤣

When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: It’s 4am—still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway. We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no. So we tried $100m. Every Repub voted no. So we tried $500m! Every Republican a no. See what’s going on?

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.
