Yes i think the only answer left now is to do General Strikes like the Poles used to do to get rid of their governments.

Acting on Trump's order, federal officials opened up two California dams The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers just opened up two California dams. A spokesperson says the flows are 'controlled' and being coordinated with local officials.

For a photo op & a bragging media post, Trump minions at the USACoE have thrown away millions of gals of #water farmers were relying on for later this year. This water will not be captured, will not be useful for cities or farms or firefighting. It is now lost.

Giant banks like JPMorgan and Wells Fargo hiked the cost of loans to make a bigger profit.

After pressure, they pledged in front of Congress that they'd pass on higher savings rates to their customers.

Senator Reed and I called on these CEOs to keep their word.

This same Christian Nationalist symbol is tattooed on the guy they just confirmed. Hegseth has raged against Muslims while drunk in public. He’s told racist jokes about Mexicans according to his sister-in-law. We know what he’s about and why he has that tattoo. So disgraceful.

Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified nominee for Secretary of Defense in modern history.

He should be rejected by the Senate.

Trump's Pardons: How Judges Effectuate the Expressive Function of the Law By Judge Nancy Gertner (Retired) and Joel Cohen

Judges handling cases related to the Trump administration should do more than simply rule; they should explain their decisions to uphold public trust and the legitimacy of the judiciary. Former Judge Nancy Gertner and Joel Cohen, a former prosecutor, explain why trust within the courts is paramount.

one reason democrats should cut the β€œwe just want to work together” shit is that you lose the opportunity to do things like, for instance, hold a loud press conference on the fact that trumps ICE thugs arrested a veteran www.newarknj.gov/news/mayor-r...

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.

We know Russell Vought wants to ban abortion nationwide with no exceptions β€” because he’s said so himself.

The architect of Project 2025 would have immense power to enforce Trump’s extremist agenda if he's confirmed as OMB director. Tell your senators to vote NO: act.indivisible.org/sign/oppose-...

from a practical standpoint, it’s worth considering that these orders that are so clearly unconstitutional cost taxpayers money. Litigation isn’t free. Not to mention the time and attention our civil service have to divert to this roadshow instead of doing the actual work of public service

The J6 pardons are legally authorized but constitutionally unpardonable. Their issuance is a β€œhigh crime and misdemeanor” within the meaning of the Impeachment Clause because it is a clear abuse of presidential power. Sadly that power was neutered by the Senate during Trump’s two impeachment trials

5 years of Netflix US profit: $15.1 Billion

5 years of Netflix exec pay: $652M

5 years of taxes paid by Netflix: $236M

In a 5-year span after Trump's tax cuts, Netflix paid top execs 3x what it paid in federal income tax.

Yesterday, Netflix announced it was raising prices again.

AP Headline: "Climate Here’s what the Paris climate agreement does and doesn’t do"

This is an excellent, in-depth article on what leaving the Paris Climate agreement means for the US by @borenbears.bsky.social

One conclusion: "Several experts say the US will lose out on a trillion dollar plus renewable energy boom, leaving other countries like China to rule the green economy."

Trump's Day One executive orders were a huge gift to to the Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Oil, and private prison companies who bankrolled his campaign.

The big losers? Ordinary Americans desperate for lower costs.
