Imagine you're the top performing employee in your department. You have a flawless career. But then a new dictator is installed, and fires everyone who did not vote for him, or will not submit to his poisonous way of governing. You don't have to imagine, it's the dystopian hellscape we're in.

The President is asking rhetorical questions about what federal government aircraft was doing, as if there's someone else who is supposed to have the answer. This is his responsibility. If he doesn't even know the answers, it's because he and his unqualified appointees are incompetent.

“Commander in Chief” jumps to throw military crew under the bus before any details are known. Coward. We no longer have a leader in the White House but a conman who’s #1 goal is always to dodge responsibility. Next time a R or D says “respect the office” remind them the President himself doesn’t.

“History does not repeat, but it does instruct." — I have been reading On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder. It is incredibly informative, enlightening, & inspiring, as well as bone chilling. It was first published in 2017, but it is more pertinent than ever! I give it 10/10. Read it!

Trump’s “Buyout” Offer for Federal Workers Is Already Backfiring: “I’ll continue to do my job and fight for the position I’ve earned. It took me 10 years of applying and 20 years experience in my field to get here. I will not be pushed out by two billionaire trust funds babies. I’M NOT LEAVING!”

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

Oligarchy is a form of government in which power is held by a small group of people, often characterized by their wealth, influence, or social status. This ruling group typically makes decisions that benefit their own interests rather than the common good.

Oligarchy was trending last week for getting the most searches for a definition.

The White House Financial Disclosure page has been WIPED. The U.S. Office of Government Ethics mandates public financial disclosures for high-level federal officials through the OGE Form 278e promoting transparency and ensuring compliance with the Ethics in Government Act of 1978. SHARE EVERYWHERE!

Definitely spread the word!

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

I have a small business. I pay for internet to help me with various aspects of my business. My internet is out and I have to cancel 4 hours of patients, and be in my office waiting, in order to be available for the repair people. This really irritates me!

This! Fucking this! It has come to mind repeatedly since I read 1984. It’s come to mind with ever growing frequency since trump seriously got into politics.

House Republicans are celebrating pardons issued to a bloodthirsty mob that violently assaulted police officers on January 6, 2021. What happened to backing the Blue? Far right extremists have become the party of lawlessness and disorder. Don’t ever lecture America again. About anything.
