What we’re doing is working.

Take two minutes for this one—it won’t just make you feel good—you’ll be fired up and ready to go.🔥

Meanwhile, big thumbs down (again) to meta who appears to be suppressing the posts of @hcrichardson.bsky.social . Several of her most recent historical analysis columns have been removed. #firstamendmentviolation

Ups and downs today, per usual. But more WAY ups than we’ve had in a long while! Congratulations to Senator Booker on his record breaking, history making, and inspiring speech. And congratulations also to (projected winner) Susan Crawford; Wisconsin voters did not let EM buy their Supreme Court!

Entire staff responsible for utility assistance included in HHS cuts, sources say Those who work closely with the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program now fear for its future.

The Trump administration on Tuesday eliminated the entire staff of a federal program that helps low-income households pay utility bills, sources say.

Musk money meaningless in a true democracy!

Fired But Fighting

Dear CDC friends. Today was the most foolish of April Fool's days. We have not just lost jobs. With entire teams and offices being cut, we have lost vast amounts of institutional knowledge. Take the time you need to grieve. Then join your fired colleagues in the fight.

Yesterday the 25 % pump. Today the 25% dump. Not suspicious at all. You muggs...

Republicans and Elon Musk are also causing a constitutional crisis in the states The GOP is going to unprecedented lengths to seize power over state courts in North Carolina and Wisconsin.

Groups tied to Elon Musk have already spent more than $4.2 million on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race—a clear sign that his plans for oligarchy extend well beyond Washington.

Power isn’t worth much if you use it to lick boots.

You can either support the United States of America and our democracy, or you can support trump.

You cannot do both.

Per @chrisdjackson.bsky.social on another platform:

“It took me 30 seconds to find at least ten postings from Zelensky directly thanking the United States for their support. There are many more.

This is pure BS.”

A bold political graphic features Elon Musk and Donald Trump in black and white, positioned in front of the White House. Musk is making a Nazi salute, while Trump speaks with clenched fists. The phrase "NO KINGS." is displayed across the center in distressed typography, with "NO" in bright yellow and a small tilted crown on the "S" in "KINGS." The background has a torn-paper effect, and the bottom half of the image is deep blue, featuring the call to action: "Join us to fight back - indivisible.org" along with the Indivisible logo.

Y'all, when Elon starts launching the paid protestors line at @indivisible.org, you know that what you're doing is working. Keep it up. And in case you needed a reminder, the next congressional recess is March 15th-23rd. And it's going to be loud. Let me be clear: we will not back down.

Understand what will happen
Trump selling citizenship

If we capped wealth at $999,999,999 we could invest almost $5.9 trillion into improving our country.

And if you’re upset at transferring wealth down, why are you ok with how we pass laws to transfer wealth up— from the working class to billionaires?

Billionaires shouldn’t exist.

This, right here…👇

Terrifying but true.

Oh they absolutely are. There were booths at CPAC dedicated to Trump 2028. They are not “Constitutionalists” or “patriots” - these are all lies to get votes. They are fascists, through & through. We are in deep trouble.

Please take down the traitors. We implore you.

'Aren't you embarrassed?' Dem gives tongue-lashing to GOP colleagues after Trump decision A Vermont Democratic lawmaker launched a stinging takedown of congressional Republicans on Monday in an impassioned House floor speech where she castigated the majority party while delivering what she...

“To my Republican colleagues, did you ever imagine that you would be in a party that stands on the side of dictators… Aren't you embarrassed by what you've become? It's revolting to watch my colleagues side with Russia because Trump said so.”

Trump is a fucking traitor who’s in bed with Putin. He’s a traitorous scumbag who’ll go down in the history books along with the worst of all the other traitors. Damn him to hell.

How the GOP tax plan will impact you

People are starting to see why Elon was fired every single time he was put in charge.

They wouldn’t even put him in charge at his shitty mapping software company.

He’s a moron and absolute fraud who had to buy the achievements of better men and women.
