This is good stuff.

It's absolutely extraordinary that historians are leading us and telling us how to fight fascism. Thank you so much. We are listening.

I had the same experience here in Cleveland. Before, the rallies seemed just us gray hairs. Today had people of all ages and complexions, abled and with disabilities.

Applied for Social Security and Medicare in early April. Now 6/11. The SSA website won't open. Medicare hasn't received information from SSA. Called SSA; my application hasn't been approved. Supposed to get benefits 7/1. Now on hold for 2 hours. Congressperson has not answered, either.

113 for me. Will be cancelling Prime before it renews.

All the lies Pam Bondi told.

This is a primer for all the people too busy to keep up with the news. For all the people on FB who keep asking, "what's happening?" or "what can I do?" Hopefully clips from this speech will be all over social media for the next two days, getting citizens ready for Saturday's national protests.

I don't have many followers, so please re-post this. The Trumf government is breaking our laws. There is no reason for citizens to pay taxes this year. The IRS does not have the staff to come after us. Spill the tea, my friends. Starve the beast. Resist.

@aoc.bsky.social, @johnnypalmadessa.bsky.social, @davidhoggbskysocial It's clear the trumf administration doesn't care about the rule of law. So why should we pay taxes this year? They aren't representing us. They don't have the staff to come after us. I suggest a tax boycott. Spill the tea.

Here's some hope for you.

This is such a well written cri de coeur

So it turns out when you DON'T go woke, you go broke.

Trump's New DEI? Dying Economy and Inflation.

It's only two weeks in and Trump is Making America Broke Again!

Hey Elon Musk's "freshman fifteen," (thanks Rachel Maddow) does it occur to you that you are committing treason and you might be found guilty of that? You might want to look up the penalties for that. It's not good.

Serious question. Tax season is upon us. Is there any reason to pay taxes to this illegal regime? Taxation without representation.

Another plane crash, this one in Philadelphia. Welcome to the hellscape that is now America.

@maddow.msnbc.com ICE has been picking up people in Cleveland too.

Yes please

Folks in Cleveland-- has it hit the news that ICE is taking people here in Cleveland?

ATTN: THREAD: The loyalty interviews have begun in DC. As someone who has direct experience with this, I have a couple of recommendations for all federal workers. Please share this widely, and with any federal government employee you know. 1/

I was thinking about my lack of skills dealing with our cruel, greedy new "leaders," and wondering how I can survive this era. Then I remembered that I was a bullied child. They are bullies. I survived them once and thrived. Us grown-up bullied children have the skills to survive this era. Resist.

This is beautiful, Jo. Led me into feeling a little hope and Christmas spirit.

Wonder why people are on their last nerve? Called my bank about my car loan. 1st, the phone tree. Then the outsourced service staff who couldn't understand that I was calling about a car loan. The constant asking of the same questions due to a required script. 10 minute call that should've been 2.

I agree completely. These MF-ers are protected by the Constitution, and they horribly missed the opportunity to do what the Constitution expects them to do.

Don't know why this was flagged invalid. Anyone know what might have happened?

Prediction: Their ratings will tank, NBC will let them go, and they will become Fox anchors.

Prediction: their show will tank in ratings, NBC will dismiss them, and they'll become new Fox anchors.

Prediction: their show will tank in ratings, they will be dismissed by NBC, and they will become new Fox anchors.

This is exactly how I'm feeling.
