AOC: Donald Trump is trying to play this bluffing game of, well, maybe what we're going to do is hold the entire all the federal workforce hostage and fire everybody. Donald Trump has been firing everybody.

T. H. I. S. !!! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

WATCH — @aoc.bsky.social : “At some point we’ve gotta call these people’s B.S. for what it is. You can’t believe everything a con man is gonna tell you. We cannot live in perpetual fear of these clowns.” #TrumpShutdown

I support this!!!

I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be the leading source for pro-democracy news, information and analysis. It will never bow down. It will never compromise. It will never obey. Support its vital work by signing-up today (free or paid). hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

trump’s last gov’t shutdown, a 35-day shutdown in 2018-2019 reduced the country's GDP by $11 billion, with $3 billion never recovered. Goldman Sachs estimates a shutdown would reduce GDP growth by about 0.2 percentage points each week it lasts. So yeah, trump & his G🤡P are fucking Americans AGAIN!!

Before he destroys everything. The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.

As Trump tries to cancel and silence his critics in America, Saudi Arabia is giving bags of money to the most influential comedians to help whitewash its regime's human rights abuses. #SHAME

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days. Mike Johnson voted “no” on that. They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

Ted Cruz wants us to STOP attacking pedophiles!!! WTF??? Listen 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 www.reddit.com/r/lostgenera...

Can no one stop the insanity?!

We have a lawless president in the White House — and California refuses to back down.

Is someone keeping track of all of these violations of the law so we can #IMPEACH #CONVICT AND #REMOVE trump?

Please protect this man!!! #NY

The irony is that these Republicans will be hurting THEIR OWN constituents MORE than those living in Democratically controlled states. They are so fucked up!!!

Clearly stated!!! 👇🏻 I’m hoping our Military Leaders stand firm and keep their oath. I’m heartbroken at where we are in our nation!!! Heartbroken 💔!!!

I am sickened by the inflated ego and abusive nature of Pete Hegseth. Imagine having to sit there and be lectured by this miscreant. Tiny doesn't even begin to describe it. #FireHegseth www.rawstory.com/pete-hegseth...

Republicans are a NO SHOW today and Speaker Johnson has canceled the vote to keep our government open—just in case you’re thinking that it’s NOT the Republican’s Government SHUT DOWN #RepublicanGovtShutDown #GovernmentShutDown

“Move out and “draw fire.”” WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK??!???????????????? This is AUTOCRATIC INSANITY!!!!!

And after 40 minutes of cringe-Thunderous applause from the generals! Just kidding. Total silence. 👀 🦗 🦗

Seriously 💥

Time for our Military to know their rights on refusing to act on ILLEGAL ORDERS! nlgmltf.org/military-law...

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Ha ha!!!

God, I hope this is true 🤣 “You have until Wednesday to swear her (Adelita Grijalva) in…or I will release your Grindr profile and your IP address. I bring receipts, bitch!” RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Erasing history.

Here's Nigel Max Edge and Thomas Jacob Sanford. Both committed mass shootings within 24 hours of one another. Two more cases of White on White crime. Is it the fatherlessness in the White community? Are they Inherently violent because of their race? Or, is it the guns? Sip it slowly. 🔥☕️

Oregon AG Dan Rayfield: "California, DC, Memphis, potentially Illinois, now Oregon - this normalization that you can use the US military in our cities. That is un-American & every place that it happens, you will see Democratic attorneys general standing up, drawing a line in the sand & saying, 'No'"

Fuck these #FASCISTS !!!

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Djt is spending American’s money (OUR tax dollars) to buy 24 karat gold bullshit when out government is $40 TRILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT AND OUR PEOPLE WON’T HAVE HEALTH CARE BECAUSE OF HIM AND HE’S GONNA SHUT DOWN OUR GOVERNMENT AND AMERICANS WON’T HAVE JOBS… WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!!! FUCK THIS !!!!!

This is because Hegseth does not understand that there is a real world out there beyond his obsessions with American enemies within. His only idea is to use our armed forces against us. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

🙄

For some excellent and good news about Ukraine winning against Putin, here’s great reporting by @therickwilson.bsky.social About a 30 min. listen. Worth your time, imo. youtu.be/_ILAMub1-y8
