Relentless K8

"If it continues like this, the U.S. will not score as a democracy when we release [next year's] data," said Staffan Lindberg, head of the Varieties of Democracy project, run out of Sweden's University of Gothenburg. "If it continues like this, democracy [there] will not last another six months."

The Serbian revolution, this is what Washington DC should look like.

One SSA employee tells me that DOGE has admitted it has no interest in improving Social Security—just in gutting the agency to save money. This will result in the failure to distribute benefits, insiders tell me. www.american-doom.com/p/social-sec...

Nothing going on in Washington, D.C. right now is “normal,” and I won’t normalize it.

BREAKING: Foreign-born leader comes to Oval Office, dressed down in a disrespectful manner, having already received billions from America, asking for American taxpayers to keep paying him more billions, subsidizing him for years to come:

On the eve of tomorrow’s boycott, I just cancelled my subscription to Amazon Prime and replaced it with a donation to/membership in PBS Passport! Great trade off!

“We cannot be made to be afraid of these f**king people. I know these people. They are cowards" - Tim Miller

“We are currently fighting with the EPA and the DOJ over a nasty stunt they pulled. There’s an account of IRA money being held by Citibank as the fiscal agent for all these different programs…..they tried to set up a fake grand jury investigation.” - RI Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse

Some clarity.

She is great!

Trump is projecting far more power than he actually has. The executive orders makes it seem as if he has complete control, but much of it is smoke and mirrors, PR for his base. An authoritarian only wins if we let them win. Don’t make his job easy by making us believe we’re already defeated.

Pure class!

BREAKING: A federal judge just blocked the Trump administration from canceling foreign aid contracts/awards that were in place prior to Trump's inauguration. t.co/2OBoBANkxW](s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...)

If you live in New York State and think Gov. Kathy Hochul should remove the corrupt mayor of NYC, give her a call or send her a letter.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

📌Heather Cox Richardson @hcrichardson.bsky.social is a national treasure. Just can't thank her enough for her tireless work teaching me and the rest of the world, about things we all should (need to) know. Information is POWER. ⚡

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

Ron Howard FTW 🎯

🔥 AMAZING. Today, the Baltic states disconnected their power grids from that of Russia. It’s taken years of prep. What a moment.

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

The richest man on earth, Elon Musk is trying to kill a department, USAID, that helps the poorest people on earth Because USAID has been investigating Musk and his Starlink company — and their ties to Vladimir Putin and Russia THAT is why Musk is attacking USAID

THIS is how you do it: 250,000 people in Munich, Germany, demonstrate against Putin's puppets, the Musk-endorsed AfD.

Normalize pronouncing DOGE as DOUCHE.

While we may face repercussions for this, the truth lies in the metadata. Memos to federal employees are being authored by individuals with ties to Project 2025. You can verify this yourself.

Your lips to God’s ears.

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

Hail to the thief!

(1,2) Yesterday, Donald Trump and JD Vance politicized the horrific New Years attack by trying to make it about immigration. In fact, it was not. The murderer was an American who served in the US military. I remember when Trump politicized my daughters murder in the Parkland School Shooting

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

Did Musk tank a spending bill because it would have harmed his business in China? From @theprospect.bsky.social prospect.org/politics/202...

Trump on Elon Musk: "No, he's not gonna be president, that I can tell you. And I'm safe -- you know why? He can't be, he wasn't born in this country. Haha."

Does anyone have the number for the Bat Phone? I think we can solve all of this with a short call to Batman. These rich, greedy, creepy villains are straight out of Gotham City.

This needs to be said, loud, and often.

Oligarchs now own: - the incoming President - the majority of the Supreme Court - half of Congress - most of legacy and social media They do not own: - most of the American people - our values - our hope for better days...for all This is our ground zero for the rebellion.
