It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

This is huge! Trump is ramming his agenda through now, so he can’t be stopped later—shock & awe. But look at these approval numbers—he’s underwater on our major issues. Public opinion is against Trump & his policies—his approval rating is historically low. It’s only going to get worse… MUCH worse.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

NEW: Elon Musk’s team has descended on an already understaffed Social Security Administration, which now faces further workforce cuts and closures of vital local offices. The consequences could be significant for millions of the most vulnerable Americans.

@hewlittpackard.bsky.social HP bricked my printer on the fifth anniversary of me buying it, even though it had worked perfectly till then and I was still paying the monthly fee. Never again will I own an HP product

If Trump really thought Zelenskyy was a dictator, he’d be fawning over him like he does with actual dictators.

I'm pretty sure the entire current administration is the result of rich people trying to make 'being rich' a protected constitutional class

Massive protests in the US as the country faces an ongoing coup d’état by the Trump regime and his oligarch cabal headed by Musk. Countless people are standing up to fascism proving the US will not go quietly. #3E #USprotests #fiftyfiftyone #Feb17 (🎥 @vuralelibol.bsky.social )

Proud to join almost 1,000 other DOJ alumni supporting those who are standing up for the non-partisan administration of law. The oath we all took is to uphold the Constitution, not to advance a president’s political agenda. www.thejusticeconnection.org/wp-content/u...

DOGE claimed it saved $8 BILLION in 1 contract. In reality it was $8 Million (i.e. how much Musk's companies get in federal tax dollars EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE YEAR) To put $8M vs $8B in perspective: •8 million seconds is 93 DAYS •8 billion seconds is 254 YEARS DOGE is 99.9999999875% INACCURATE

Abolish bank regulators. “Delete” the CFPB & IRS. Gut Social Security and Medicare. The Trump administration’s plots all boil down to the same thing: swindle working people, funnel money to the ultra-rich.

This is great. Fox is saying that we are all going to get lots of money back from the government because of all the fraud Elon is finding and we will get to buy houses and cars with it. I hope this only takes a few weeks for these checks to go out.
