President Trump said he will continue to restrict The Associated Press’ access to his events and news conferences until the outlet goes along with his renaming of the Gulf of Mexico in its reports. He acknowledged that the move was a presidential retaliation against AP's editorial policy.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

I know there’s lots of decent and sane 🇺🇸 ppl but I wish they were louder locally. Trying to figure out how I can fight the good fight in grocery lines & parks without alienating people. (Remember #RBG ‘s words: fight for the things you care about but do it in a way that leads others to join you) ✊

Are the hyenas starting to question Mufasa yet? #TheResistance #Resist

OPE! #raincheck 😬

It’s a great day to crush the opposition! Let’s make today count. I’ll be back with suggestions for action we can take. Stay tuned. 💙💪🔥 #TheResistance #Resist

Did you know that those pardoned by Donald Trump for trying to storm our Capitol on January 6th are about to run for office, and the Republicans are going to support them? Spread the word. We need to sound the alarm now.

I can’t decide which cabinet confirmation terrifies me the most. Every one of them keep me awake at night, especially #TulsiGabbard #RFKJr and #PeteHegseth. It hasn’t even been a month yet, y’all.

CW: R*pe Just your friendly neighborhood social justice warrior popping by with a bright red megaphone to remind everyone that he is also a Ra pis t. Our president ra p ed a woman.

Farmers: “He was supposed to hurt other people, not us.”

If there’s one thing Trump has done extremely well it’s to test how deep my roots are in #SanDiego. Things are so terrible and Mexico is right there and I adore Canada, but my life is here. I’m just praying things don’t get worse, but I’m worried.

🚨🚨🚨 Trump just fired USAID inspector general Paul Martin—one day after he exposed how Trump’s foreign aid freeze & mass firings have made it easier for U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund terrorist groups like Hamas & ISIS.

We didn’t throw tea into a harbor for this.

Law and Order Party Ends Law and Order

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

This energy.

Great point.

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

Call to action: US national protest on Monday February 17 at your State Capitol or White House. Spread far and wide. End Impunity End Oligarchy End Autogenocide #3E #USprotests #eyesontheoval

🧵The shuttering of USAID could mean the end of billions in income for farm operations in the US. Last year alone, USAID purchased $2 BILLION in US grown crops from corn, soybeans, wheat, sorghum, 1/3 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Abolishing the Department of Education will further decimate rural schools... And, for what? The Dept of Ed does not write curriculum -- that is done at the local and state level. The funding from the department mostly supports economically disadvantaged school systems. The poorest schools...

What's happening in America is that, in the most literal sense, internet trolls have taken over the government.

Déjà vu all over again.

Here's what the decision by America's favorite sports league tells us about "anticipatory obedience."

This is really a terrible time to work in an industry that requires you to be aware of what is happening

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

True.

He’s firing the FBI, silencing the press, and dismantling Democracy: The window to fight back Is closing quickly.. We need to keep protesting on the streets... one weekend is not enough.

State media

This unfortunately has always been the state of dental care in America. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this book and any documentary about dental inequality. (Googling “dental inequality documentary” gives great results!) #DentalInequality #Inequality #IneqaulityInAmerica

This is how we’ll find out about things now, I guess. JFC.

Kamala Harris was not planning an ethnic cleansing to pave the way for golf course courses… Both sides were never the same.

It doesn’t feel real. None of this feels real.

Great job by Ruben (@rubenbolling.bsky.social).

We’re being bombarded with crazy by the White House. Here’s how to handle it. statuskuo.substack.com/p/understand...
