If protests keep getting larger, and they will, we’re quickly approaching the point at which Trump tells Hegseth to order the military to fire on protesters. Trump yearns for this. The question is if the soldiers under Hegseth will carry out these illegal orders. I don’t think the answer is clear.

NEW: It's the Elon Musk paradox: On X he's a budget-cutting warrior leading a noble Trump-approved battle against the Deep State bureaucracy. But to the WH, increasingly besieged in court, he's a run-of-the-mill adviser with no decision-making power. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

New—Social Security Administration (SSA) Commissioner stepped down bc she wouldn't comply w/ DOGE. Lower-level staffer Leland Dudek replaced her. In a now-deleted LinkedIn post (pre-promotion) shared w/ me, he said he was placed on admin leave bc he "circumvented the chain of command" to help DOGE.

Math is hard

Hit 'em where it hurts y'all. First Call to Action is a general economic boycott - February 28.

Ownership? He thinks he's going to own the Gaza strip. How're those protest votes feeling right now? I know, you really REALLY didn't like Harris' policy on Israel. This is so much better, right? When he says shit - believe him. #RESIST

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

If you think the whole OMB bullshit earlier in the week was bad, it's NOTHING compared to what happens if Voght gets approved this week. Do something. Write or call your Senator's every day and tell them to vote NO on Voght. D or R, doesn't matter. It will take 4 GOP Senators to vote no.

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

In case anyone cares - I will not argue with Magats. I will, however, block the shit out of them immediately.

Damn, Trump fucked up our country quick!!!

They fired all the prosecutors from the January 6 suits. They’re firing the FBI. Melon's people locked out gov employees. There is a coup happening and nobody is calling it out - what the hell? Where are Dem Congressfolks? Why aren’t they visible? Every Democrat should be flooding the zone.

There was a small plane crash in Northeast Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in a residential neighborhood. Welcome to Trump's America where planes keep falling out of the sky.

Where are the D leaders and why aren't they capturing their outrage about this on camera?

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day marking 80 years that Jews were liberated from Auschwitz. But we must mourn the precious lives taken from us. This tragedy can happen in the US too and we are seeing the warning signs. We must fight fascism in the US before another Auschwitz happens here.

✅ DEI Employer of the Day™ Mastercard "As with our commitment to decency, diversity, equity and inclusion [DEI] are embedded in our DNA through the Mastercard Way." "We do this not only because it has a meaningful impact on our business, but because it is the right thing to do." Priceless.

Because people are correctly interpreting MAGA’s use of the terms “DEI” and “woke” to mean Black.

Quotas, you say? Quotas mean everyone has to carry papers. Sounds more and more reich leaning every day.

Elon Musk: "race mixing is bad. Italy for Italians!" *woman next to him moves as far away as possible*

They tried to erase history. We loudly said "Hell no." They folded. We should say "Hell no" a lot more.

Oh snap!!!! Sam Altman clapped back at Elon Musk for crying about the Stargate Project with OpenAI. 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

We must understand the signals and the plans. History teaches us these.

*Elon Musk goes out in public wearing a t shirt that says “I am non-ironically a Nazi”* Mainstream media: what an inscrutable, mysterious man. Whatever could he mean by this

ELON DID A FUCKING NAZI SALUTE AND THAT IS NOT FUCKING OK

New, from me: as the Trump administration begins, I try to make sense of what, exactly, DOGE is. Journalists and policymakers should be skeptical of its claim to be a govt reform commission, and more willing to see it as a form of oligarchic state capture. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/doge-dange...

Ahem - we've been here before.

Y’all maga folks who’re pissed off at having the inauguration changed - just handle it like you did the last time you didn’t like the presidential change, k?

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA The 11th Circuit just slapped Aileen Cannon with a Writ of Go Fuck Yourself HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA Jack Smith gets to release his report HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA oops I mean how terrible for Donald Trump

Zuck's broadcast remarks was like he was being held hostage, being told what to say. That or he is every bit the asshole we always knew him to be.

Read this thread. Keep your eyes and ears open friends. The rightwingers are crafty little assholes. Don't fall for their bullshit. Thank you @eladn.bsky.social for calling them out.

When addressing MAGA Republican concerns about the Hunter Biden pardon, the correct answer is "because fuck you, that's why"
