Wise man…

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)

DOGE = Department of Gross Errors

The only way to save yourself is to name the person who is harming you and then join us against him…

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who will happily and enthusiastically be reminding trump voters of ALL his broken promises because he's too busy golfing, grifting, tweeting, and being an overall tyrannical shithead. My field of "I Told You So's" is full.

Health insurance is not meant to keep you healthy. It’s meant to serve as an obstacle to care while picking your pocket.

Media says: Where are the Dems? I say: WHERE the hell is the media? 📌Thousands of us stood in the cold here in Wisconsin and across the country protesting Musk's attack on our privacy, and it barely got a mention. 📌Dems are fighting, but the media has once again fallen at Trump's fat, little feet.

You don’t say…

I would pay money to be a fly on the Oval Office wall when Trump sees this

There’s your “tariff effect”. Highest 1-year inflation expectations since Nov 2023. #UMich @mikezaccardi.bsky.social

Want to see advertisers lose MILLIONS this Sunday? A record-setting low for viewers during the Super Bowl would do that. Money talks and bullshit walks.

Another reminder of the power of rightwing propaganda and the failure of mainstream media coverage: more people probably have heard about USAID ‘funding’ Politico (it isn’t) than about USAID funding anti-malaria programs which were just cut off and frozen by Musk and Trump.

I still miss WordPerfect

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

If you're going to disseminate Trump's propaganda note that: 1) All Elon found was $40K or less in subscription fees 2) That's not the billions Trump claims it is 3) It sure as hell isn't the $2T Elon promised

This is also a valuable resource for sky users theblue.report

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans. And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump. It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other. Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

Worry is unproductive anxiety, a loop of fear without action. It drains energy and fuels stress. Concern, on the other hand, is focused awareness; it identifies problems and seeks solutions. Worry traps you; concern empowers you. Shift from "What if?" to "What can I do?" and turn fear into progress.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Absolutely brutal scroll on Fox.

Thoughts and prayers to the owner of Politico, who asked executives to pray for Trump's reelection, now that Trump's wildly incompetent Secretary of Defense has kicked Politico out of the Pentagon. Careful what you pray for, dear.

Musk is going to the government what he did at Tesla, SpaceX, and Twitter: fire all the humans so it catches fire and explodes.

Watching this on repeat how is your day going?

It’s as if the attack on diversity hires reinforces to his followers his intention to make over the U.S. into a new supreme white race. Apparently, Trump’s making the U.S. into a country comprised of Trump, Musk, Bannon’s, Epstein and Hegseth wanna be’s and the women who willingly sleep with them.

I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but going to the gym to train is not resistance. Karate is not resistance. Organize in your community. Take care of people. Do the hard work of making sure people have what they need to survive. Do it through organizations that are already there.

I am very much in favor of merit-based hiring and high standards for jobs with life and death implications. Which is why I oppose confirming Pete Hegseth, RFK JR, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel.

The problem isn't DEI. It's DJT.

Old Guard Democrats on the hill need to get over their prejudice against digital media and content creators if they want to amplify their messages. Get on every podcast every day. Build audiences. Create a massive digital messaging network. Adapt or get left behind.

Pete nails it, with one exception. Trump has never shown real leadership and there's no reason to expect him to do so now. "The buck stops here" is not in his vocabulary.

It has now officially been confirmed. We have reached the singularity

With the terrible tragedy over the skies of D.C., it’s time to prioritize safety. Trump must end the hiring freeze on air traffic controllers and restore the aviation safety advisory committee he dismantled on Jan 22.

Just to recap: prices are worse, planes are colliding, we’ve been spitting on the Constitution, citizens have less rights then they did last week, we’re building concentration camps…BUT.. the good news is that children in schools are scared for a reason other than bullets for a change. 🤷‍♀️

Army Blackhawk helicopters are crashing into passenger planes at DCA while the Secretary of Defense is on Fox News ranting about DEI

Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say “cunt” a lot

FAA says a military helicopter collided with the American Airlines passenger jet from Wichita near DCA. There must be immediate hearings on how the federal government/Department of Defense allowed this to happen and if removal of safety protocols and recent personnel changes led to this incident.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

Keep fighting. Keep dancing.
