Uhhhhhh www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Musk and DOGE are closing local Social Security offices, making it hard for people with disabilities to access help. Frank Bisignano, former FISERV CEO, is Trump’s nominee for commissioner of Social Security. He is likely to expand this. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

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)

Several good things are happening according r/fednews so I am going to drop them here. If federal workers are fighting back, how much more us? A thread/

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

What parent could object to letting this upstanding looking man inspect their children's genitals?

Among the states are South Carolina (yes, a reversal of their current school book ban legislation!), Rhode Island, Arkansas, Tennessee, and many more. If you have been calling when you're opposing a bill, here's an opportunity to call in support.

It's pretty cool that Eater put together resources for restaurants about how to handle ICE raids

Musk, the memo warns, is moving rapidly to take control of the apparatus of US Government power on behalf of a core network of interests who subscribe to Yarvin’s ‘ Dark Enlightenment’ ideology.

If you still have friends/family who think this administration will help them, talk to them about money....

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublica’s analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

This is a prime example of poor messaging. “At 4am, Republicans just voted for more of *your* money going straight into the pockets of multi-millionaires.” Take a lesson from Pete Buttigieg.

This dangerous lunatic is dismantling our country for personal gain. We have the power to stop him. Hit the streets and make your voice heard at Teslatakedown.com

The SAVE Act’s impact on voter registration processes would affect tens of millions of Americans, including those who have ready access to their citizenship documents. Congress should reject it.

Trump spent $10.7 million on golf in just 1 month. That doesn’t include the over $20 million spent on attending the Super Bowl and Daytona 500. #BlueCrew #BlueCircleFamily🌈🦋 #BluePetPatrol💙🐾 #ProudBlue #Resist #TruthWarriors #antitrump #antimaga

I hate these fucking people so much.

Today I introduced a resolution condemning Trump for referring to himself as king. As the place where it was ratified, Philadelphia has an obligation to call out this assault on our constitution and reaffirm how treacherous it is for the President of the United States to declare himself monarch.

Inspired by the abolitionist and civil rights movements, Get Free is mobilizing young people to turn campuses and communities into freedom beacons that defy Trump-Musk’s authoritarian power grabs.

Here's how the 1974 Privacy Act is being used in legal battles against DOGE—and how you can protect yourself from government surveillance.

Trump’s plan to heist $800 billion from the money you have put into Social Security is not a surprise to you. It’s time to carry that to people who have not heard it, especially family members receiving benefits who voted Republican. We all understand the assignment. #RadioFreeAmerica

We’ll soon be hearing a lot about the “unitary executive theory,” but don’t be fooled — it’s just an attempt to disguise the president’s power grab in legalistic garb.

"MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement. You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is." www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

The reporters at Texas Observer have been doing incredible investigative work lately, the kind of work that places like the WaPo used to do with a much larger budget before it got bought up and then slowly hollowed out by a billionaire sycophant who'd rather go into space than live in a democracy.

It has not even been a full month yet and the Trump regime is already doing or proposing multiple things that are plainly global level crimes.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Rep. Jasmine Crockett exposes near $1 billion in new contracts for Musk in just 2 weeks: "This is nothing more than a money grab. He's not out there trying to save money for the American people, he's lining his pockets."

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

late night news: The Trump administration has just told a federal judge in a court filing that it will not comply with the court's order to resume funding for USAID and State Department foreign assistance. It’s happening. They are solidifying the coup we are running out of time to stop them.

That LGB without the T thing isn't working out, bro

Google warns that hackers tied to Russia are tricking Ukrainian soldiers with fake QR codes for Signal group invites that let spies steal their messages. Signal has pushed out new safeguards.

Watching SNL 50 & holy crap the alien abduction sketch had me laughing so hard I was gasping for air

Hundreds of asylum seekers from around the globe are being trapped by the US in a Panama hotel where they'll eventually be sent to a camp in the jungle. One Chinese man said “I thought: America is a free country with respect for human rights. I had no idea it was like a dictatorship.”

What should Democrats be doing? They should be legislatively opposing everything Republicans do, grinding down their operation so it can barely operate. They should be on constant attack, berating and deriding their actions - on social media, in the press, and on air.

While everyone is focused on what DOGE is doing, Elon Musk is quietly spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on an April Wisconsin Supreme Court race. This race could have electoral consequences in future elections, like 2028 in a crucial swing state. Pay attention.
