www.nokings.org For over a year, millions of people have come together to send a clear message: in America, we have no kings. Power does not belong to billionaires, strongmen, or politicians who believe they are above accountability. Power belongs to the people, but only if we use it. #Pinks 🌊

β€œDonald Trump is a traitor.

Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year β€” 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

I don’t understand how my Republican colleagues could hold hands with their fellow legislators, say a long prayer, and then vote to cut a trillion dollars out of Medicaid. There ought to be a connection between what you say on Sunday and what you do on Monday.

Dear Trump voters, You wanted mass deportations. Well, hundreds of thousands of people have been deported. NOW WHAT? β€’ Did you get that job they supposedly took from you? β€’ Did grocery prices drop? β€’ Is rent cheaper? β€’ Did your health insurance premiums drop? #TrumpsAbuseOfPower 🧡

More insider trading and war profiteering from inside the White House Billions made. Investigators were then told to stand down. Off the charts corruption.

This is, unambiguously, the United States aiding fascist Russia in its war against democratic Ukraine. This is a disgraceful betrayal. The United States has been brought so very low, so very quickly, by Trump.

Olga Lautman πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦@olgalautman.bsky.social

Trump, Witkoff, Kushner, musk, are doing everything to help terrorist Russia murder Ukrainians. Siding with terrorists, restricting Starlink on top of funding genocide. This is beyond outrageous

It’s perfectly clear.

Olga Lautman πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦@olgalautman.bsky.social

So in the past few days Trump has taken sanctions off Russia’s energy, asked to buy diesel from Russia, restricted SpaceX Starlink, stopped sharing intel on incoming missiles, & asked Europe to unfreeze Russian assets to give to Russia. Hope Americans aren’t confused on who he works for

Trump: "They want to cut your children. It's unbelievable what they do. Your son leaves as Jimmy and comes home in three days as Janet, and they don't even ask you. They can take your child out of school and do whatever the hell they want. Minnesota is one of those states."

Trump has pardoned scores of US public officials charged with or convicted of crimes of corruption. But his clemency skews right. It's OK now to do crimes - with impunity- like fraud, bribery, conspiracy, racketeering, obstruction of justice & more.

Oh no! This paragraph in Autocracy, Inc. is prescient AF. Anne Applebaum writes about the "Maduro model" of autocracy: When an autocrat is perfectly willing to destabilize & rule over a failed state with economic collapse - if it means he can stay in power. They will destroy to maintain control.

They're coming for abortion. Just in case you thought the stakes in Alberta's referendum aren't high enough... Re-read question 9. Then try and tell yourself this doesn't create a back door for the anti-women's healthcare caucus to come after abortion rights in Alberta. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Trump’s Iran War is crushing American families. The average family has paid an estimated $2,000 more in higher gas, grocery & utility costs since the war began. Republicans keep voting to prolong this reckless war. Democrats are fighting for accountabilityβ€”and an end to it. Put Americans first.
