Hands Off! was the biggest day of civic protest in years.

We want next Saturday to be even bigger — with more people in more places driving even more defiance of Trump’s fascist agenda on No Kings Day.

F*ck it—tonight we’re doing it live! Join us at 9 p.m. ET for an emergency live Secret Podcast.

Elon Musk and DOGE’s Savings May Be Erased by New Costs An expert on the federal work force estimates that the speed and chaos of Mr. Musk’s cuts to the bureaucracy will cost taxpayers $135 billion this fiscal year.

"The Partnership for Public Service, which studies the federal workforce, has used budget figures to produce a rough estimate that Trump's firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers will cost upward of $135 billion this fiscal year."

Elon soecifically, quite publicly, called for a full boycott of The View TV show less than a month ago.

Glad he has encouraged the public to exercise our individual voices effectively. I choose to use mine to refuse to feather his billionaire nest, thank you.

Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who agrees that if it isn't "illegal" for MAGA to boycott Bud Light, Target, Starbucks and more because of the 1st Amendment, it sure as hell ain't illegal for us to boycott Elon's shitty Tesla.

FUCK ELON.
BOYCOTT TESLA!

Mr. Trump, evidently out of control with gleeful destruction, is now decimating suicide and substance use treatment programs he himself boosted in his first term. Evidence shows these are lethal cuts - but oh what fun!! www.facebook.com/share/1AJg5V...

Good. Objective achieved.

A kindergartner’s hopes for beating cancer are tied to federal grants now on the chopping block | CNN A family whose 6-year-old is battling cancer says a move to slash funding by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for research at universities and medical centers would be “devastating.”

“The days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over.”

Uh....

B.S.

Do your jobs!
Listen to your voters, and be responsive.

We, and history, are watching, and will not ve ignored!

Just "Wow."

It is scary to be exposed to beliefs (e.g. Trump and RFK have betrayed them to kowtow to the Jews) held and expressed by some of these anti-vax fanatics who are, after all, among us!

RFK’s flip-flop on the measles shot is ripping the anti-vax world apart The true believers react, or not, to his surprising new stance.

Is anyone else's hard-earned retirement nest-egg imploding, thanks to Mr. Trump's destabilizing and destructive willy-nilly tariffs frenzy?

Then show us all the evidence, Speaker Johnson.

What would be the point of claiming there is massive waste and fraud in Social Security without sharing the evidence with all of us?

How much $ has actually been spent/wasted through checks cashed by fraudulent claims for 150 y.o. recipients?!

Good trouble. Ask for that from your Member of Congress.

Ultimately, what happens to our country will come down to our own courage and resolve: To engage in peaceful protest. To organize and mobilize others. To work against hate and bigotry. To fight for justice and democracy.

I am heartened by these words:

"Tyranny cannot prevail over people who refuse to succumb to it."

Boycotts are taking hold. Protests are on the rise. Federal courts are hitting back. People are starting to fight back.

Wow!

This is great executive leadership. Gov. Moore rocks!

Anniversary Today:
On March 1, 1973, Pink Floyd released their eighth studio album, The Dark Side Of The Moon, in the US. It remained in the US charts from 1973 to 1988, longer than any other album in history; and then 759 more weeks on the Billboard Top Pop Catalog Chart, until May 2006.
Classic!

Analysis | Trump decries a ‘scam’ USAID contract. It supports a program he started. The $520 million contract to a Bethesda, Maryland, development company was part of the Prosper Africa initiative launched in 2019.

Where, even, to begin???
