This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Jesus, this testimony from Tiffany Flick, who has since resigned from her position at SSA, about what happened when DOGE arrived, is hard to read. But everybody should read it. Because this is the reality of what’s happening.

UPDATE: The charges against her have been dropped “in the interest of justice” (she bit one of the brownshirts that assaulted her) and the private security firm has lost their license to operate. I hope she sues them into oblivion.

U.S. Attorneys are not the President’s lawyers. They are the United States’ lawyers. You didn’t pledge an oath to a President, you pledged it to the constitution. This statement alone is reason enough to resign.

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention?

Goodnight friends ❤️ Get some sleep.

Every day, I give up

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

The American flag at full mast with the word #RESIST underneath which means don't comply in advance and stand in the way of those who would subvert what the flag represents. 
We do not kneel to a would be king.

We've reached the first inevitable crossroads.
The question, which is clearly answered in the Constitution, is: "Does the executive branch have to obey the judicial?"
What happens if the executive branch says "my ball, my rules"?
Stay tuned.

We are not sheep. Get louder. Take action. Create a shadow cabinet. February 10, 2025

@rbhubbell.bsky.social says it’s time for the Dem MOC to implement a Shadow Cabinet. @timothysnyder.bsky.social has been sounding the alarm to do this. Robert’s suggestions who should be on it are in his article. We can add to it. @repjasmine.bsky.social comes to mind. Let’s do this! 202-224-3121.

On the left, is a golfer dressed in boring clothes doing what's expected by the system. On the right i is a golfer in bright wildly colored clothing, smoking, staring down the establishment. 
Boring is labeled Regular Gov while brash is labeled ##AltGov

It's week 4 of 208.
With your support, we've built a stronger, more diverse coalition of #AltGov accounts, countered their fictions with facts, performed our 1st coordinated drop of bluesky, & found 10s of 1000s of fellow citizens who are standing firm against this coup.
We, the People, are #AltGov

This is what employees at the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau woke up to this morning.

And their website is offline. It looks like Vought shuttered the agency without notice.

This would be another illegal EO by the Orange Idiot.
Congress is who creates these agencies and only congress can defund or disband them.

This will never stand in court.
