I just picked up some Indian takeout. When I got to the restaurant, they had live music like they sometimes do, but it was an Asian man (Filipino, maybe?) playing bluegrass on a banjo. A Filipino man playing bluegrass at an Indian restaurant; this is the future Liberals want. ❀️

The only people complaining about Bluesky are corporate media opinion columnists who have a 200,000 followers on X and 800 here. β€œPlease go back to X!” No, fuck you lol.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpasβ€”and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Is anyone surprised by this? I'm definitely not.

Elon backtracked on DOGE savings goals from $1 trillion to $150 billion. But watchdogs report only $12.6 billion in verifiable savings. That represents just 0.173% of the U.S. federal budget for 2025. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

I've been thinking about this particular topic a lot. As Capt Gilbert said, "Evil, I think, is the lack of empathy," and I can't find a more accurate or succinct definition of evil than that. Everything Leon and Donald do is evil; there is not really any other way to describe it.

Odious little man

Even from a business standpoint, dismantling our national parks and using them for logging or drilling is such a stupid idea, because the tourism would be more lucrative. The only plausible explanation is that they just want to destroy everything good and beautiful about our country.

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🀬 πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί #24HourEconomicBlackout

She's so cool. I hope I'm half as cool as she is when I grow up. On topic: the fascists DO have a vision. Now, that vision is horrible, and a lie, but it's there, and their voters believe in it. Dems keep losing because they don't give their voters something to believe in.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just β€œwe’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. πŸ‘ŠπŸ½

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

"The Rubicon" is used metaphorically to mean the point of no return. I think that we've already passed that point and we need to act immediately. Problem is that I don't know what the best actions are for me/us to take. The usual (protests, writing to representatives, etc.) haven't worked at all.

what are the steps you would only take if push came to shove? and what constitutes a "shove"? and how many shoves have you already gone through without noticing? the final Alt-Right Playbook is now live. it's called The South Bank of the Rubicon. youtu.be/0YFdwfNh5vs

Very legal and very cool. πŸ™„
