Everything has gone too far. The checks and balances have stopped checking and nothing is in balance. Now is the time to dissent.

Imagine DOGE opens your mail and finds your household electric bill. To eliminate this cost, they burn your house down without warning. Then they total up the bills that, as a homeless person, you will never again pay. On its website, DOGE boasts about the money it has saved you.

Made this on the train to nyc. trump and anyone enabling him is a traitor to democracy and this country. (FYI I’m working on more stuff in between the work I do to pay the bills.)

It can be hard to keep straight all of the alarming instances of politicization/weaponization of the Justice Department since January 20th. I created a detailed Timeline, with Audrey Balliette. We also link to all the publicly available documents. Read the 25+ entries here: #Democracy

yep. and this is the basic problem with trump being psychologically incapable of perceiving a positive sum relationship. everything is a dominance game for him.

Critical to remember. The constitution has a really straightforward tool to deal with this situation.

Our stock market is crashing. Our economy is contracting. Our government is dismantling. Our allies are fleeing. Our grocery prices are rising. But at least we now call it "The Gulf of America." So it all evens out.

The market just started tanking as Trump started talking about tariffs during a televised speech. He just crashed the markets.

TODAY! March 4th for Democracy. Find your protest at www.FiftyFifty.one. 50 Protests. 50 States. 1 Movement. #50501movement #PeoplesMovement #FiftyFiftyOne #ImpeachTrump #NoKings #March4thForDemocracy @polrev.bsky.social

We found the real fraud.

This is not leadership. It is abasement to norms that no longer exist.

The last time America increased tariffs like this, it was 1930 — and it triggered the Great Depression.

Promises made, promises kept!

here’s the thing: why wouldn’t you treat every dumbass idea as potentially worthwhile when a month later you can just go “oopsies” and no one holds you accountable for giving credence to stupid shit?

Millennials are a goldilocks generation raised in the narrow window between leaded gasoline and social media and hooooo boy is that showing these days

The boycott is strong and getting stronger every day.

After all the Red Carpets, the ceremony itself, the after party & the after-after parties, nothing compares to the warm welcome upon my return home. 🐕 🐶 🐾 #Oscars2025

After years of falsely claiming that MMR vaccines cause autism, RFK Jr. has published a new op-ed on Fox’s website encouraging people to get the vaccine amid a measles outbreak that has already resulted in the death of a school-aged child.

Imagine having this much disdain for your own voters

Something odd here. CBS News confirms other media reports: "Hegseth has issued a directive to U.S. Cyber Command to pause planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions." The CBS News then notes that National Security Advisor Michael Waltz said he's unaware of the directive.

Did Putin write this?

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

Tesla dealership in Rocklin, CA. A red district. It’s happening, folks. ✌️💙

Tesla dealerships are prime locations for bold, high-visibility protests against the Trump-Musk coup. These events are already happening nationwide, with more planned each day: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The lawsuit, filed by Elias Law Group on behalf of the three national Democratic committees, challenges an expansive executive order Trump issued earlier this month that would give him unprecedented power over key regulatory agencies that were designed to operate without direct White House control.

March 4th: Nationwide day of protests! Over 90 events added so far, and our team is working hard to get more up as quickly as possible. Find a March 4th demonstration at www.FiftyFifty.one. #50501movement #PeoplesMovement #FiftyFiftyOne @polrev.bsky.social #March4thForDemocracy #ImpeachTrump

Whoever supports this is a murderous ghoul

Demonstrators gathered at more than 50 Tesla showrooms across the United States on Saturday in protest of CEO Elon Musk’s role in slashing government agencies as part of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency established by President Donald Trump.

One day, we'll look back on this as just Step 1 of removing women from any position of public authority. No one is making a fuss, because it's just women, so Step 2 will be easier. The broligarchs have already stated repeatedly that they regard women's right to vote in America as a "mistake."

A major Norwegian fuel company is refusing to provide fuel to U.S. warships after the “shitshow” in the White House yesterday over Ukraine. This is the way. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/norwegian-fu...

Just a heads up for the Orange County folks, I’ll be at the 50501 anti-fascism gathering in front of Irvine City Hall tomorrow (Sunday March 2nd) from 2-4. I might even speak! Swing by to say hi, talk football, or just generally speak out against the direction our country is going.

Democratic Congressman Tom Suozzi just received a huge standing ovation in a Trump +5 Congressional District at Hofstra University after talking about how despicable Trump‘s behavior was in the Oval Office with Zelensky. Americans are furious.

BREAKING: WHO BEARS THE MOST RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE OVAL OFFICE ARGUMENT? WITH 79,312 VOTES 👏

The TL is bleak but Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, donated her Tesla to @npr

Brutal.

BREAKING: Federal judge rules that Trump's firing of Hampton Dellinger, the head of a key federal whistleblower agency, was illegal. The judge has ordered the Trump administration to recognize Dellinger as the head of the Office of Special Counsel.

Donald Trump is neither a savvy negotiator nor a brilliant dealmaker. He is a craven bully who telegraphs not only his final goal but his next move in achieving it. He is the kind of mark every poker player dreams of having at the table — rich, cocky and dumb. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Now THIS is true leadership on the world stage. In stark contrast to the weak, ignorant clown we currently have in the White House. #SlavaUkraini 🇬🇧 🇺🇦

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org

Elon Musk has shut down a team of tech-savvy civil servants responsible for developing the IRS’s free tax-filing service and improving government websites. As a result, 90 employees were immediately locked out of their devices and informed that their jobs were deemed non-essential.

HERO vs ZERO I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

Zelenskyy: "It's not just that the war began somewhere between our countries. The war began when Russia brought this war to our country. They're not right. They didn't respect our territorial integrity. They brought the war to our families. Ukrainians want to hear a position of the US on our side"
