This adorable ping pong playing kitty has a great serve! 🤩 🎥 catzig

Janet Trafton Mills, the 75th Governor of Maine, is NOT playing! WE need more people to stand up, regarding how small or big the issue at stake, and disrupt the Trump/Musk new World order! WE NEED MORE JANET MILLS!

SCOTUS paused Trump’s bid to fire Dellinger—escalating the standoff between the executive & judicial branches Another test of checks & balances I’ll discuss this decision—plus my fight to stop executive overreach & hold Musk & Trump accountable at 9am on @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social 👇- TN

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

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

Memo to Democrats: If EVERY ONE of you would do what Janet Mills did yesterday EVERY TIME, Trump would unravel entirely. He relies on you being bullied. Refuse to be.

Sounds like FDR had a window to 2025, doesn't it?

Trump is a Russian Agent. Why is he in the Oval Office and not a jail cell? ======================= bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

And who they didn't like

Literacy is activism. Reading is a political act. Books are tools for liberation.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Do the dumbest trumplings finally get it???

Marco Rubio is already sidelined at the Department of State. So, he'll be reduced to the diplomatic weddings-and-funerals detail. Sad! puck.news/is-steve-wit...

A must watch…👇 Really loved Eric Swalwell! Enjoy. 😎✨

If you've never been in the military, a JAG is a Judge Advocate General. They are the military lawyers. They make sure military law (the UCMJ, Uniform Code of Military Justice) is adhered to by all. You don't fire them unless you have something to hide or are planning illegality. Beware!

. General Mark Milley was right . . . ... and he's still right ! 💠 👊 💠

If you still can not see how "Christian Nationalism" IS anti-Semitic fascism, you are willfully blind, brainwashed, white supremacist or a MAGA pastor. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ churchandstate.org.uk/2024/11/how-...

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

"Fascism is government by the few and for the few. The objective is seizure and control of the economic, political, social, and cultural life of the state." "They maintain themselves in power by use of force" Original: archive.org/details/Army... Plain-text version: archive.org/stream/ArmyT...

Timothy Snyder is an expert of modern authoritarianism.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Priced out of property

🚨 Republicans talk about their fear that Trump might incite his MAGA followers to commit political violence against them if they don’t rubber-stamp his actions. So we're bowing to terrorists now⁉️ #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #DemsUnited www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

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

"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage." -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)

1/ If Elon were really a tech guy, he would know his claims of 150-yr-olds getting Social Security checks are false. That's what data errors in an old (COBOL-based) system often look like—date values being left blank in a database or outdated records or both.

Kakistocracy. Try using it in a sentence today. There will be plenty of opportunities.

Meet 11-year-old Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, a young girl from Texas whose life was tragically cut short. She died by suicide after classmates threatened to call ICE on her family. Stop dehumanizing immigrants. That is not America.

#Voices4Victory #SheShed As a professional Makeup Artist in television and film I agree with the special effects artist (sfx) in the text below. This so called bleeding ear looks very suspect. An innocent man in the audience died that day and #Felon45 didn’t give a damn! We will never forget!

Anyone remember COBOL? The database for the Social Security administration was written in COBOL, way back in 1973-79. Here’s a coding tidbit for you: When a database doesn’t have a date value, each program has their very own epoch date. Guess what COBOL uses… 1875.

Whoa. When Hegseth sobers up he's gonna throw a fit. I mean "If" he does. So maybe... never?

WHY are YOU still supporting Trump?

MAGA KILLED THIS INNOCENT CHILD WITH THEIR VOTE OF HATE‼️

WHY aren’t more folks watching and commenting on this little video? Please WATCH it, and tell me what YOU think, I’m curious🤔 www.threads.net/@cloudyinvas...

Sometimes a visual explanation is more powerful than words.

Not according to Marbury v. Madison.

SWAN: DOGE and SpaceX employees are now working directly at the FAA and DoD, agencies that have billions of dollars of contracts with Musk's companies or regulate them. How is that not a conflict of interest? TRUMP: Well I mean, I'm just hearing about it

This is Luke Farritor. He is the 23 year old that fired all the staff in charge of our nuclear arsenal. Don't worry, though. He completed an internship with SpaceX, so I'm sure he is clearly qualified to determine whether our nuclear arms should be adequately staffed by qualified persons. 🤯🤯🤯

Just discovered that Don Bacon posted this last Friday.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.
