Holy shit, a whopping 56 percent of Americans DISAPPROVE of trump's abysmal handling of the economy. This is lower than any other point even in his first term. PASS IT ON.

True facts.

To quote FDR: "I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made."

four votes for “the president is a king and the framers created a monarchy”

For those who must watch - I’m sending you strength. Personally, listening to the current president feels offensive. The yelling and gaslighting makes me recoil…I’m not signing up to be harassed by a convicted felon, abuser, and cheater. I will read the take away and activate wherever I can resist.

To be clear: Vance and Trump blew this up on purpose. Yet another gift to Putin. Pathetic.

He’s sided with the aggressor because they pay him and he owes them…bigly

Staying up way too late watching the #nationalparks beef on #tiktok it’s so heartwarming ♥️ 🏔️

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

This is evil. Pure evil.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

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.

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." Arthur C. Clarke

It's called the Gulf of Mexico.

Instead of gutting government programs that make the world a safer place we should be cracking down on ubiquitous tax avoidance by our country’s biggest corporations.

UPDATE: My colleagues and I were locked out of the Dept. of Education and denied a meeting with Acting Secretary Carter.

Um… @lifelock-identity.bsky.social do you have a plan and coverage for the DOGE breach? Think we’re gonna need that

Having to fight Elon Musk at DOGE before we’ve even battled Trump feels like having to defeat the forces of Saruman first at Helm’s Deep.

More corruption, out in the open.

Have a good morning and keep supporting the people who are fighting back, today

How is this not a crime, a conflict of interest requiring recusal, or something you get disciplined for? You are the prosecutor and the defense lawyer on the same case?

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Just two weeks ago, everyone was screeching about China stealing all of our data through TikTok, but now Elon steals it and the MAGA crisis actors are OK with it? That's some fucking bullshit.

The United States literally spent trillions of dollars on defending its democracy during the Cold War from external autocracy. It's unfathomable to witness US democracy be so easily and rapidly dismantled from the inside. It's an unconscionable betrayal of American history, values and sacrifice.

TOMORROW: Let’s talk about how we can take action against Trump’s illegal power grab. We’re teaming up with @moveon.org and @workingfamilies.org for a conversation on fighting back. RSVP now: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

#Mexico , take #california back. Together, we can make this part of North America great again

This is a coup.

Housing at Guantanamo = concentration camp

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Of all the terrible sign posts in the last week, this is the worst.

Please be accurate: when you say 1/2 the country voted for dismantling democracy you are not being accurate. Only 63.9% of eligible voters showed up. So if we’re talking all eligible voters, it’s better to say a little over 1/3 voted for facism, another 1/3 voted for democracy, and 1/3 chose nothing

"Security agents" pulling an independent watchdog out of government after being illegally fired. What would you say if you saw it in another country?
