Modern-Day Peaceful Protest… TikTokers are hunting Cybertrucks—pulling up behind them and projecting anti-Elon Musk messages onto the tailgate. What’s genius: the driver has zero rear visibility & zero idea. The Cybertruck Hunters account launched a week ago and already dropped a dozen videos.

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

Ukraine has shown all of us around the world, what passion and patriotism looks like. For the past 3 years, they have stood tall and strong in the fight for democracy, sovereignty, freedom and humanity. Ukraine is all of us.

Heroin addict and steroid abuser wants the rest of us to to make as smart decisions about our health as he has.

🫡🇺🇸 "Americans do not swear an oath to a king, a tyrant or a dictator. We swear an oath to the Constitution and the idea of ​​America, for which we are willing to die," — Mark Milley ❗️He said that every US military member gives his life to protect the Constitution, not to individuals.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

I am very politically active and write/call my congressman often. I have lived in his district for almost 2 decades. I have never seen him in person and it’s not for a lack of trying. No town halls. No visiting his district. I’ve never seen hide nor hair of Sam Graves.

Brown had to go - he was serving his country while black.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

Let's be very clear that Pete Hegseth absolutely has his job because he is a white man.

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

200 million dollars of waste.

its amazing the way conservative arguments fall completely apart in court when there are actually penalties for lying

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)

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

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...

Donald Trump plans to take control of the U.S. Postal Service. This will make life harder for those who rely on the USPS to get medicine, purchase home necessities, and stay connected—especially in rural communities.

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory These people have NO integrity whatsoever. Scott Curtis, a top ranking FEMA official who took Elon’s resignation deal was fired 13 days later. 4 hours after this article was published, his firing was reversed. Don’t Let Them Screw U www.thebulwark.com/p/musk-doge-...

"rescind acceptances" the kind of thing that absolutely destroys trust and reputation for a supposedly world class institution

THR: “.. Paramount now signaling that it’s prepared to go on the offensive .. leveraging the threat of uncovering information about Trump’s financials, including with respect to his social media company .. and the cryptocurrency he launched, in discovery.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Bad messaging: We need to educate our constituents so they know we don't have any power. Good messaging: We will do everything possible to protect our constituents and democracy, we hear their concerns, and we're going to tell them daily how they can help us oppose autocracy.

As of yesterday, there were 58 reported cases of measles in Texas. 13 of which were hospitalized. Tens of thousands of dollars racked up in medical bills. (40k?) A one night stay at hospital in TX averages about $3,000 One MMR vaccine in TX averages $100 without insurance with a private doctor.

for the love of God. fucking honestly. “controversial salute.” it’s a nazi stiff arm salute. literally everybody knows this. “controversial” is a chickenshit word generally (what purpose does its use serve? hint: an editorial, not journalistic one) but when we’re talking about public nazi shit gah

In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

Donald Trump and his billionaire backers are carving up the government to sell our country for parts, make the ultra-rich even richer, and dodge accountability. He’s funding tax breaks for the wealthy by taking money from working families. We need union power now more than ever.

The British family that has steered the James Bond franchise for more than 60 years, zealously protecting the superspy from the indignities of Hollywood strip mining, has agreed to relinquish control to Amazon.

Did the @nytimes.com really quote the mf-ing communications director of the Houston YOUNG REPUBLICANS as if he were just some random young Black person who likes Trump? Cause it sure looks like it.

Impacts of the USAID Stop Work Orders A 2024 study looked into the impact of U.S. foreign aid. Every dollar spent on aid returns an average of $8 in exports. It benefits people in the US before delivery and in the development phase when countries strike up partnerships.

Here's one of the warnings I gave in an article before the US election. It's devastating to see it all happening. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

There's a union out there called AFSCME and they're busting their balls for you doing a lot of shit work you take for granted

BREAKING: Los Angeles fast food workers are ON STRIKE. As activists and immigrants across the nation are learning their rights, the fast food industry is lobbying against Know Your Rights Training for 50,000 LA fast food workers.

Rand Paul has introduced a National Right to Work Act. The bill is an attack on organized labor and workers across the country. It would make it harder for workers to unionize, win good contracts, and maintain their unions.

This Teamster thinks Right to Work is bad actually

Elon Musk waves chainsaw gifted by Argentinian President Milei

Once upon a time, these were actions by a private company. Now they are actions being undertaken by a high-ranking government official, in connection with his public activities. This raises 1A issues that didn’t exist before.
