#DOGE was never about reducing the size of government and always about letting their billionaire donor friends rip you off.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

We did this. Back in the 19th and early 20th century. They were called "insane asylums" and one of their key features was the idea that they would be entirely self-sustaining...meaning the "inmates" worked everything from janitorial to agriculture to domestic service for the medical staff.

A meme of a woman speaking into a man’s ear, and the words in all caps above the image saying so anyway virginity is a social construct and a completely made up term with no basis in medicine and was only created to control and shame people — mainly women.

A meme of a woman speaking into a man’s ear, and the words in all caps above the image saying so anyway virginity is a social construct and a completely made up term with no basis in medicine and was only created to control and shame people — mainly women.

The idea of virginity comes from outdated — let's be real, patriarchal — ways of thinking that hurts everyone. 📢

Screen shot of Trump’s truth social post that says: “DOGE: Looks like the Radical Left Reuters was paid $9,000,000 by the Department of Defense to study “large scale social deception.” GIVE BACK THE MONEY NOW!” Beneath the post is a red arrow and the reminder: “Trump’s own DOD literally signed this contract when he was president in 2018. He’s like the arsonist who wants a refund for the gas he used.” 

The truth social post is dated 2/13/2025.

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed.

Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly.

Yet another reason he must be rejected.

President Musk now has a body count, which will ultimately climb into the millions. This is a feature for him—he’s a white supremacist eugenicist. But, journalists need to EXPOSE that. Ask every Republican and Musk if they are pleased with killing people. All day, all night, 24/7/365.

The AP should stop covering Trump events. Instead send those White House reporters out into the field to report on the harms and repercussions of his policies.

The U.S. public never needed coverage of pseudo-events anyway.

Reminder once more that the President has ZERO authority to reallocate funds already appropriated by Congress for a particular purpose.

And an unelected billionaire oligarch has even less than ZERO authority to hijack & reallocate funds.

This is a coup. A hostile takeover. A Constitutional crisis.

First stack is books by Black authors I loved and the second are the ones I’m getting to.

I’m so tired of this ‘mandate’ BS and ‘the American people said…’ nonsense.

Trump didn’t win a majority of the popular vote, and beat Harris by one of the smallest popular vote margins (1.5%) in US history. If you factor in turnout, he got the votes of less than 1 in 3 eligible voters in the US.
