So in the US there is a Republican politician that needs to hide from his own party for the next 24 hours or 17 million people are going to die. We've got the real life squid games thanks to Trump.

The Trump regime is deliberately deploying ICE agents at immigration hearings so they can more easily detain migrants.

Armed, masked men abducting people from courthouses —and arresting those who ask why — is the stuff fascism is made of.

Known dog-killer Kristi Noem has @padilla.senate.gov assaulted and detained during a press conference because this is a dictatorship.

California Sen. Alex Padilla was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference and handcuffed.

"I am Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary."

LAPD shoot US woman with a rubber bullet for trying to get into her home, they were blocking her entrance and there was no protest in sight.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

$134 million that should be going to LA’s fire recovery.

Shameful.

Don’t buy into Trump’s chaos. Rise to the moment.

This is about protecting our immigrant communities, not the destruction of our city.

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

True story bro.

The acting head of FEMA, a Trump appointee, told staff today he didn’t know the U.S. has a hurricane season. FEMA is dangerously unprepared this year.

After-tax income under the Trump/GOP budget:

-People making less than $17/k year: LOSE $1000
-People making between $17k and $51k/yr: LOSE $700
-People making over $4.3M/year: GAIN $389,000

This is what class warfare looks like.

Did he recruit all of these staffers through online gaming chat rooms? They're so unqualified and cynical.

My dad is 98, WWII USNavy Veteran. Showed up for democracy in San Diego today. "I fought for it once, I'll fight for it again!" 💙🇺🇸💙 THIS is what democracy looks like!!!!

I'm in Colorado. We've got a good AG.

Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

Dear god let this man cook.

Sorry, we promised not to post much today but we had to make a special callout. We forgot to give a proper shoutout to a few places yesterday. Denver and Dallas Fort Worth, you broke records. You were incredible.

If you have a problem with immigrants, you have a problem with me 🫶

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

Why are any books being banned from the Navy? If you want to argue certain books are inappropriate in K12 schools that's one thing, but adults? Isn't that literal thought-policing FSWs have bemoaned for years? And keeping ethnonationalist books while purging holocaust memorials?

For anyone who ever cosplayed at being poor, you're on the verge of finding out what it's actually like

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand.

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.

I wish he would go to Mars and leave the rest of us alone.

Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
