Absolutely insane.

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off.

We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos

In just two months, DOGE has —lost— the government an estimated half a trillion dollars. I propose that Musk pay it back personally.

Updated estimates now put turnout at 1.55 million — and we’re still waiting on reports from coalition members in other areas, with some events yet to begin! If you’re free, come out and join us!

HAPPY #HANDS-DAY, everyone! ✊

This! Research shows that protests 1) raise awareness, 2) empower people (especially the disadvantaged), and 3) exert pressure on elites.

Anyone saying they don’t work is unfamiliar with the research and the history of movement building.

Do not believe “thousands”. There were 100,000 in NYC alone.

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

—With love,
Your American allies.

Tens of thousands rally against Trump at DC ‘Hands Off’ protest Congress members Jamie Raskin, Eric Swalwell and Ilhan Omar among speakers as demonstrators denounce ‘fascism’ Demonstrators estimated to be in the tens of thousands gathered in Washington on Saturday in a display of mass dissent against Donald Trump’s policies that organizers hoped would snowball into a rolling cycle of protests that could eventually stymie the US president in next year’s congressional elections. Anger with Trump and his billionaire lieutenant, the SpaceX and Tesla entrepreneur Elon Musk, was expressed in a sea of placards and banners on the Washington mall, in the shadow of the Washington monument. Multiple messages denounced the two men for shuttering government agencies, cutting jobs and services and – in often graphic terms – for threatening the survival of US democracy. Continue reading...

Tens of thousands rally against Trump at DC ‘Hands Off’ protest

Thank you Senator. More of this from everyone please!

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

What about the fascist takeover going on do you not understand? Ffs grow a spine!

Are universities going to start speaking up? Because if they think Trump pulling back federal dollars is an existential threat, they should see what happens when no international students want to come here for fear of ending up in a MAGA concentration camp.

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

Please read—this is becoming serious!

DOGE lists 1,125 canceled contracts, claiming $7.2 billion in savings—but many were already completed, meaning no money was actually saved. In fact, 417 contracts saved $0, and another 51 added up to less than $1 million.

Misinformation spreads fast—sharing to set the record straight.

A federal judge in Washington said that the way the Trump administration set up and has been running Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency could violate the Constitution.

“Progressive policies don’t work!”

That’s odd because not once in my decades of life have we ever tried the policies most progressives suggest…

So maybe we can try them? And then debate the merits? Cause the world has tried the other policies repeatedly and they fail in predictable ways now..

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26.

Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency.

It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Yet another reason they deserve zero clicks.

If he thought life was easier when not being rich, he can get back to that easy life by shutting up and donating all his money charity.

It’s not so easy to go the other way.

With all due respect, you're a United States Senator and that's a rent-a-cop from a private security firm with no authority to stop you.

You can't just take no for an answer here.

Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.

it's not hyperbolic to say we're witnessing a coup.

He also very directly and specifically blamed disabled people. And I am absolutely begging y’all to call it out and not leave us out of your activism. He literally named us. Why aren’t we on your list of at-risk groups?

also Puerto Rico, but considering Puerto Rico's status with the States? they should pull the same shit as Colombia if they can. idk anything about trade/tariff/this stuff. don't ask.

Musk can keep the Washington name out of his fucking mouth.

Just remind them that Canada (as Britain admittedly at the time) has successfully burned down the White House before the last time the US tried.
