For the first weeks, Americans seemed frozen, expecting institutions to do something. Americans were used to “checks and balances” and “guardrails” working. That didn’t happen. People realized that they had to take matters into their own hands. 👇

Decades of sacrifice and work by generations of men and women across the globe up in smoke. Truly tragic. Tens of millions of American voters squandered the legacy of their parents and grandparents for the thrill of racism and “owning the libs.”

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

NEW: A federal judge blocked Trump’s effort to stop funding grants and contracts that have DEI components, saying it is likely viewpoint discrimination and worded so vaguely that it will chill free speech. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Is Vladimir Putin calling the shots?

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Wow. What a reply!

Abortion bans kill women.

Finally, some good news! Keep sounding the alarm! We need to show the people in charge what We The People want changed or addressed. Always fight back when your personal rights are involved. #RESIST

If someone wanted to destroy the United States from within, would they do anything differently than what Trump is doing right now?

Of course he did 🙄

Keep going, we need to fight for Democracy. This isn’t like the first term. We are genuinely witnessing history take place! #RESIST

Many of us will not fall for his loyalist agenda, that is not what we gave an oath to. We will defend the Constitution of the United States. 🇺🇸

Trump’s January 6 mass pardons are being used to entrench power at the DOJ. Enrique Tarrio and other insurrectionists are embracing Trump’s retribution agenda, believing it will “set us up for the next 100 years.” Read and share: https://www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/trumps-pardons-solidified-dangerous

@sanders.senate.gov Thank you for listening to our cries. When you asked for information about what is stressing us out, I wrote to you on all of my worries and you definitely touched on each problem that I brought up. That means many of us share the same concerns. youtu.be/CVxHFhhWea4?...

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

The truth 👇

If you don’t want us to call you Nazis, then stop acting like Nazis. #noTrump #noKKK #noFascistUSA

We will be back in court on Monday to defend this essential right.

I don’t want to live in a Christian Nation. I want to live in a FREE Nation that allows for freedom of religion. #firstamendment

Now that they are avoiding court orders, can we arrest them? 🤨

Even MAGA can't keep up with Trump's lies.

Not possible autocratic takeover. This is an attempt at an autocratic takeover, and they are succeeding.

Donald Trump ran on lowering costs for working people. Yet last night, Senate Republicans passed a budget blueprint that sets the stage to deliver huge tax cuts for billionaires at the expense of everyone else. It's the Great Betrayal and the American people won't stand for it.

Freedom of the press is foundational to our democracy. The government cannot punish outlets for their editorial decisions.

BREAKING: Supreme Court maintains pause on Trump's bid to fire the head of a watchdog agency in the administration's first case to reach the high court.

After last night, it couldn’t be clearer: Republicans aren’t fighting for everyday Americans, they’re working for Trump’s billionaire buddies. Disappointing? Yes. Surprising? No. But we’re prepared to fight for an economy that works for everyone.

Weakness seems to be the dominant theme of Trump’s presidency. I can’t think of another President who has so quickly weakened the United States of America.

This is why we fund scientific research. This right here!

“Make them outlaw YOU. We will stand behind you. We will be there with you. I will get arrested with you.” Couldn’t have said it better myself. Work together with your Representatives. If you want to fight, then you need to be willing to give your all. #resist #protest #FIGHT

We asked Senate Republicans: is there any millionaire or billionaire rich enough who doesn't need another tax giveaway? $10M a year? No. $100M a year? No. $500M a year? No. $1 BILLION a year? No. With Republicans in control: Billionaires win, families lose.

Sad. They can’t even support victims without seeing it as woke. I love that he called it American Values. Because that’s exactly what it is. We are a Nation of justice and should hold criminals accountable for crimes - as is tradition 🧐

I want to salute the Governor of Maine Janet Mills who, in that room with a raging Trump and silent complicitors, stood her ground and said, “see you in court!” Maine residents, show your support for your Gov for standing up for your independence.

Great way to quickly catch up on the news if you need a break! However, so much happens in a few days, it may not be best for your mental health. Just fyi.
