🚨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!

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

Canada wins…

Thanks to Donald Trump and Elon Musk, firefighters who just finished weeks of around-the-clock shifts fighting dangerous fires were given a note from their Commander in Chief: "Please quit." That’s a hell of a way to say thank you.

The Republican Party should be ashamed of themselves, but there's no shame in their game. They knew this man was mentally failing before he even ran for office, but they allowed this travesty to go on. They own this shitshow, "lock, stock, and barrel."

Conservative Political Action Conference 2025 Nazi Salute Convinced MAGA-Nazi Coup has a particular odor Fuck these Fascist-Nazi Christo-Racist Motherfuckers

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.

Remember when team USA beat the Soviets in the 80s? Canada just had that moment and the US were the Soviets this time. Congratulations Canada 🍁

If a Democratic President suddenly supported Russia in a war like Trump just did, GOP in Congress would go ballistic. Even in minority they would be making press calling the Pres a "traitor," demanding all bank transfers to see if Russia sent him $, flooding Fox News calling for impeachment etc

An important point to keep in mind.

How many of you tech people would describe the on-boarding of someone, with a laptop and access to massive databases, with this many "as I recall," as if it is not documented? This is a Privacy Act related declaration from Department of Education. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Objective 1: Neuter IRS enforcement of tax law so the ultra-wealthy like Musk can pay $0 with no consequences. Objective 2: Get the private information of Trump's perceived enemies so he can target them for aggressive audits. Objective 3: Like always, break stuff and harm people.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

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.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

FACT.

Yes. They are. Maybe a rapid response team under the age of 75 would be a start. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Count me in, ladies!! 💙💙

You know, if they'd just STOP doing Nazi shit all the time, we'd stop calling those fuckers Nazis. It's not that complicated.

I absolutely agree 💯💯 🎯

I fear they’re coming for ALL school vaccine mandates next. Including measles, mumps and rubella.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

With Handmaids Tale people focus on the shock of the mass rapes in the book and the show. But how the regime came to be in power in that book keeps me awake at night because it is playing out in very intricate detail in our real lives right now.

If you’re searching for the political philosophy of the Musk-Trump team you should look at “mud-sill theory” pushed by writers who were defending slavery as the bedrock of domestic tranquility and equality among white people in the antebellum US.

They didn't realize the Department of Energy oversees nuclear weapons. "Competence and caring" #killtheDOGE www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/c...

Volodymyr Zelenskyy's speech at the Munich Security Conference ends with prolonged applause👏

Where does the accumulated debt of this country come from? It comes from Republican Presidents. So much for Republican's being the party of fiscal responsibility, all to pass their tax scam.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

The only thing this guy had going for him was his branding as a smooth communicator on TV… but dear God he is a dogshit communicator.

Doing the unthinkable: The deep cuts to the #CDC's workforce today are expected to decimate the Epidemic Intelligence Service, a program that has trained public health rapid responders for decades. Envy of the world. Poof! www.statnews.com/2025/02/14/t...

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at. You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters. Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

Today the felon in the White House banned the use of the word "felon" in the White House.

A white person calling yourself an “ally” to Black people is kind of like bragging to strangers about being funny. Whether you’re funny or not funny is for OTHERS to decide, not the would-be comedian. Same goes with racial allyship: you people do NOT get to decide if you are our ally. We do.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

What is it about watching a 4-year-old tell a 78-year-old with the maturity of a 2-year-old to "shut up and go away" that is SO deeply satisfying?

god this guy is an idiot. like, a stone cold idiot who sincerely believes that war fighting and preparedness is about having the biggest dick
