They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Just a quick reminder, if Russia ceased firing there would be a cease fire

Show some gratitude, JD Vance and Felon Trump. You have no respect for the countries and people who supported your country after 9/11. Past time to say, "Thank you."

WOW. After yesterday’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit. The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

A planned ambush of the elected leader of our ally! The outrageous attack, in the Oval, of our ally is unspeakably disgusting! The most shameful thing I have ever seen-aside from having Felon Trump elected a second time.🇺🇦💔 #ukraine #Zelensky #FelonOfTheUnitedStates www.instagram.com/reel/DGoNR0h...

Only the second worst thing to happen today. #RIPUSAID #RIPUSA The US is no longer THE world power with influence abroad. It is only a declining state led by an autocratic fascist bully. youtu.be/dO8CJd6duRI?...

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

You aren’t safe in Trump’s America.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Trashing AOC because she is knitting on her commute instead of fighting? History lesson: #Knitting IS a Symbol of Resistance!!💪🏼🧶 Also, good for mental & emotional health & well-being, a historical symbol of independence & Resistance. 👇🏼 #knitters #knitsky @aoc.bsky.social youtu.be/fq0o_QetQXU?...

This is the dumbest timeline. Trump fired a bunch of people that oversee our nukes because he had no idea what they did, so he had to hire them back. More proof this is a hatchet job www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/c...

Felon Trump's plan for Gaza is grotesquely incomprehensible! @sanders.senate.gov tells it like it is: #Trump wants sea-side #Gaza for the billionaires. Club-medGaza for the MAGA-zillionaires. 👇🏼 Gaza belongs to the Palestinians! 💪🏼 youtube.com/shorts/X6pEl...

The Republicans own all this chaos. MAKE THEM OWN IT WHOLLY BY THEMSELVES. I was dumbfounded to watch Dems vote yes for ANY of these cabinet nominees. Dems must not enable Felonius Trump's chaos - Only OPPOSE IT! Make Republicans own & justify every single moment of lawlessness and HARM. 🤦🏼‍♀️💪🏼

Plain language: It's a coup. Of course it is. Republicans are gleefully supporting the total overthrow of the US gov't. They have entirely ceeded the power of congress to control $$$ or provide oversight. And every Y vote from a Dem has helped them do it. Who is going to stop this? Raise your hand.

Of course it’s a coup. Miss the obvious, lose your republic. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Republicans own this coup! They not only signed on, but are enabling this destruction of the stature, the power, influence & stability of the United States. Surely, at least a handful must know that what they are doing is not worth the death, the destruction, & the HARM to American citizens.

@senschiffinhiding.bsky.social Nice troll of @schiff.senate.gov Who will be OUT of office if he doesn't start fighting FOR democracy instead of voting FOR the Coup-supporting Republicans. Because I am campaigning AGAINST Schiff if he doesn't get his head out of his ass!

So, how does one stop a coup that is happening OUTSIDE of the law? Well, for starters, you go in and physically remove the people doing the coup (I heard they're some teens 🙄). Loyal FBI officers - go and arrest the unauthorized private citizens who are invading the US government. 💪🏼 Share ideas ⬇️

I know we can’t run around on fire every time Trump says something but he appears to have just announced the new US policy on Gaza which is to take ownership of it, ethnically cleanse it of the 1.8 million Palestinians there and maintain a long term ownership stake as it’s “developed.”

How to be an OPPOSITION party 101: Do NOT cooperate! Do not vote to confirm cabinet positions. WTH do you think you are doing?!! Every Dem Senator who voted for even ONE of Trump's cabinet picks needs to rethink their career choice & who they actually work for. It is NOT The Felon DT. Pls share!

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you. Do something
