“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

Senator Elizabeth Warren Town Hall 2.22.25 Framingham, MA THIS is America. Don’t let them change that. 🇺🇸

The Lithuanian Defense Ministry, Dovile Sakaliene, said (in flawless English) that Europe needs to be “armed to the teeth” to deter further Russian aggression…

I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

Keep at it

5 accomplishments this week: 1. Told NYT Trump’s lying about Social Security 2. Told CNN about the dangers of DOGE having your SSA data 3. Talked to WaPo about DOGE’s SSA purge 4. Told ProPublica about the risks to Social Security service 5. Wrote a blog setting the record straight

Everyone, please read this thread and share. Musk is closing down Social Security offices and it is not being reported. You have to go to the DOGE website to find it. Here are all the details: www.rawstory.com/anxiety-moun...

The new acting head of Social Security got the job because he'd been feeding our social security information to Musk all along as well as sending harassing emails to employees in the agency’s personnel and security divisions who were trying to protect our info. www.joemygod.com/2025/02/new-...

🚨🚨🚨 Closing Social Security offices! Dammit, it's all hands on deck and where are the Dems? fElon's team works weekends, folks. This is just the beginning... @propublica.org comes through again.

House Republicans are coming for your Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid—to the tune of $2 TRILLION. That’s your money. Your benefits. Your future.

Leland Dudek, a data analyst working in a small anti-fraud office, was suspected of sharing unauthorized access to information with representatives of Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service. Now he’s the acting Social Security commissioner. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

We need a class action suit against Elon Musk for transferring our Social Security data to his private server. I want him in prison!

Republicans are very definitely going to try to end Social Security as we know it. What I imagine that means is everyone under ~55 is out, something like that. The good news is, this is such a wild overplaying of their hand, it might help jump start the pushback to them ending democracy.

I would rather have air traffic controllers, Park Rangers, Cancer Research and Social Security than a $5000 check from DOGE

Social Security is our money. We’ll see you in court. Fuck Musk and Trump.

How can 150 year olds (born in 1874) be receiving Social Security checks when SS wasn't even introduced until 1935?🤔 And how math works.

This looks like a good idea. It turns out it wasn't initiated by HCR, so I've deleted her name from the image. I guess whoever thought it up is shy. I plan to do this, even though I can't spend any money anyway until I feel that my Social Security is safe.

This is why I love @aoc.bsky.social and why she is one of the leaders we need in this moment. This is one blueprint for change. Bottom-up change starts in our communities and local (and state) elections. #letsgo

I needed to hear this voice and these words at this moment. "This chapter will not be written simply by whoever occupies the Oval Office or wealthiest among us. The American story will be written by you, by we the people." Thank you, VP Kamala Harris. #NAACPImageAwards youtu.be/bnmKwxjMKgs?...

Next big protest from #50501 et al is on March 4

Hahahaha! “thanks” 😂 FBI Director Kash Patel tonight has instructed his employees to ignore Elon Musk’s productivity inquiry, saying, essentially—we will evaluate our own people, thanks.

Any talk you hear from the current administration about making the US more competitive in science and technology is utter bullshit. What they are doing is sabotaging our country for years if not decades to come.

This is the kind of callous assholery that makes my blood boil. That it comes courtesy of a chain gang of inept DOGEbags makes it even more infuriating. www.wired.com/story/lenaca...

“In some ways that’s even more chilling than firing the four stars,” Rosa Brooks, a professor at Georgetown Law. “It’s what you do when you’re planning to break the law: you get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down.” By NYT Greg Jaffe www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

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)

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

"I told you kids to stay inside!!" 🤣🤣🤣

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

Watch as the share holder REBELLION happens. We are too big, too diverse to just take us over. Yeah, they are going to break shit. But only what’s ripe for breaking. It’s good to know what needs fixin. We the people will stand up so hard, the actual earth will shake. Plus, yes, earthquakes.

Y’all need to READ/SHARE this shit, NOW. 1951 — 'How Corporate America Invented Christian America' The true goal of the Committee was advancing political conservatism (big fans of deregulation, lower corporate taxing)

Every centrist podcast bro telling us that sacrificing trans rights is the only way to win in 2028 is overlooking the reality that the logical extension of policing gender expression is targeting cis women who, like, wear pants

THIS IS WHY WE ALWAYS FILM THE POLICE www.reddit.com/r/Whistleblo...

If the Democrats had Republican style messaging, they would loudly claim that DOGE was stealing money out of the treasury a billion times and it would probably work.

The federal government is threatening to prosecute people who criticize Elon Musk. This isn't any different than the stuff JD Vance was criticizing about Germany.
