He nails it.

youtu.be/t3PM15wCVn0?... You can make your own decision if you can make time to watch this. I’ve been thinking for a while that I really believe majority of Americans believed the truth about Trump and did not vote for his evilness. Cybersecurity experts even said a forensic audit was needed.

Happy Friday! This is the resistance. Cause some Good Trouble today!

This is really something

Dark Pence is back.

Trump is now blaming Ukraine for being invaded by Russia. This is what you get when a rapist occupies the White House.

Lets GOOOOO!!!! (Or VIA....or whatever we are gonna call it...) national unity project, will reduce trade barriers and free up freight capacity...use Canadian steel and concrete...seems like a no brainer at this moment...get building!!!

Small glimmers of hope? Will it be too late for Congress to step up? Fun historical times.

Shameful. Weak. Frustrating and depressing that they are not taking this seriously.

It seems to me that if Musk has proof that millions of social security checks have gone out illegally to dead people, he should be presenting that evidence in front of a grand jury under oath tomorrow instead of shitposting it on social media. When can we do this under oath?

Elon Musk’s newest target is the regulator that fined him $20m and is still investigating him #StopElonMusk finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-mu...

If you’re wondering who the Elon Musk staffers are, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has several Musk staffers, including Amanda Scales, Brian Bjelde, Stephen Duarte, Christina Hanna, and Bryanne-Michelle Mlodzianowski.

"A consistent feature of globalised capitalism is an unintentional assault on systemic resilience. As corporations pursue similar profit-making strategies, and financialisation and digitisation permeate every enterprise, the economic system loses its diversity and starts to synchronise. ...

Canada, Greenland, Denmark, Panama, and Gaza could not immediately be reached for comment

Lotta stuff you can urge federal Democrats to do right now that’s effective and useful, but the scale and impact of the constitutional crisis is so severe that they should be abusing parliamentary procedure to hold the floor in the House and the Senate until the coup ends. Waiting is dangerous.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Judge Chutkan (who reminded lawyers Friday that she works weekends) has called a President’s Day hearing to potentially resolve the emergency motion by states to enjoin Elon Musk and DOGE’s operations.

This morning, @votersoftomorrow.org called for Gov. Hochul to remove Eric Adams as mayor of New York City. Adams is corrupt and compromised. He traded immunity from the law for betraying his constituents. He is not fit to be mayor.

Here’s a better peace plan for Ukraine. “Russia, you’ve already sustained twice as many casualties as the US did in ww2. Leave Ukraine or suffer four times more, and collapse as a country in the process” Done

NAACP lists companies that dropped DEI in its tactical spending guide for Black Americans. People of all backgrounds are encouraged to use the Black Consumer Advisory. apnews.com/article/blac...

Even if I posted it once, it deserves more than that. The hilarious Sarah Cooper on the History of Wealth. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cJ1...

At this point I say screw it, don't give them another inch. Let them own all of it.

Said every tyrant and dictator in human history to justify his actions.

DOGE is the new "Big Lie".

I hope the DOGE gang gets charged with espionage. Their incompetence is dangerous for the country, but also for them.

LOL - Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman tells GOP members on the committee exactly HOW the Tax Scam affects their own constituents. #DemCast #GOPTaxScam

We must recognize MAGA as an actual cult. For people to consider leaving a cult, they must see others leave. LeavingMAGA.org has tools, resources, & support for those questioning their beliefs. Weaken the GOP’s cult. Share it. Spread it. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory leavingmaga.org

Great point - DOGE isnt just meant to destroy the existing federal government, it’s also a propaganda campaign to make people distrust the idea of a federal government that can provide public goods- & thus become more accepting of the corrupt autocratic-oligarch regime Trump/Musk want to create

The procurement wording was changed today to "Armored Electric Vehicles".

I think we might know where all the missing Dem ballots went This is Ethan Shaotran. He's one of Musk's DOGE takeover hackers 2 yrs ago he won the Berkeley AI Hackathon But in 2000 won the HackGT7 with a ballot altering program called BallotProof Here's the deep dive that he couldn't scrub....

We've updated our tracker below with these 3 additions. If you have information about any of the people on this list, or know of other Musk associates who have entered the federal government, reach out on Signal at 917-512-0201.

Good morning! This incredible NYT op-ed by @katherinestewart.bsky.social needs to be the very first thing that you read today. The next thing to do is send it to all your friends who still don't believe Trump is a crisis. This lays it all out (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/o...

"Just since Donald Trump’s election, Musk’s personal net worth has grown by far more than the entire annual budget of U.S.A.I.D., which in any case accounts for less than 1 percent of the federal budget."

Kudos to @ricksobey.bsky.social at the Herald for being the only Boston outlet I’ve seen spotlighting Bondi’s freezing of DoJ funds to sanctuary cities. The article doesn’t answer my questions about the potential effect on Boston/Cambridge/Somerville, but at least recognizes the local relevance.

There are no three people I like hearing talk about the energy transition more than @stephenlacey.bsky.social, @jigarshahdc.bsky.social, and @cleangridview.bsky.social. And at long last, they're back :) New podcast from @latitudemedia.bsky.social drops soon. www.latitudemedia.com/news/three-i...

Yup

Listening to Trump explain how he plans to have Pete Hegseth occupy Gaza, displace Palestinians into Egypt & Jordan and build a Riviera-like resort playground for rich folk on the shores of the Mediterranean And thinking about all those who couldn't hold their noses to vote for Kamala Harris 🤦🏻‍♂️

Who else agrees with Jamie Raskin? 💙 🔥 ✅
