Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night. Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim. Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen. Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

It’s important to understand the extent of the digital bloodlust on X. They’re scraping data from social media sites—including Bsky—to create a searchable database targeting people for perceived thoughtcrimes related to CK. It has 40k names so far, and they’re sharing it with the federal government.

The president and his sons made $5 billion on paper as their cryptocurrency started trading — highlighting the extraordinary degree to which they are personally profiting from Trump's return to the Oval Office.

Homegrowns are next…

Where is our humanity?

Vaccines. 💪🏻💪🏻

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you. If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you. If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you. We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

He fired the black chairman of the joint chiefs for being woke and hired his brother.

Martial Law. It’s the elephant in the room. It’s what authoritarians resort to when the tide turns against them. It’s what the authoritarian in this White House is setting the stage for. 🧵…

The Trump regime is working to deter dissent. Anyone who goes against Trump could end up on a target list. This is having a chilling effect on five major pillars of society — universities, science, the media, the law, and the arts. It's straight out of the fascist playbook.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

So let me get this straight—Trump’s nat sec adviser added a JOURNALIST to a group chat on classified Yemen strike plans?? This isn’t a group project, it’s national security. They screamed “Lock her up” over emails, but leaking war plans is cool now? Make it make sense.

Imagine this: On the evening of March 8, you and your spouse unlock the door to your apartment building. As you step inside, two men—not in uniform—push their way in behind you. They tell you your visa has been revoked and that they are there to deport you.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

"Khalil's abduction, in its cruelty and unlawfulness, has horrified people around the country. Let us be clear: This is what fascism looks like, and it is part of a much broader campaign," said the director of Palestine Legal. www.commondreams.org/news/mahmoud...

This is what we’ve become. In just a single decade.

The FAA is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to overhaul the communications system that serves as the backbone of the nation’s air traffic control and is awarding the work to Musk’s Starlink. Follow the money and see where it goes.

Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.

Trump and the GOP are trying to repeal a Biden admin rule that requires lead water pipes to be replaced. Tens of millions of people, including children, would continue to have contaminated drinking water if the rules are revoked. So the GOP is the party of lead poisoning now?

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at USAID on leave after they refused to turn over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s government-inspection teams, a current and a former U.S. official told The Associated Press on Sunday.

And the party that wanted to throw HRC in prison for using a private email server is ok with Musk having access to all this government information...unbelievable

So Musk, who’s not an elected anything, who runs a non-existent “agency” has accessed sensitive Treasury data including Social Security and Medicare customer payment systems and there’s no way to stop him? apnews.com/article/dona...

I found this on Twitter. I believe it’s being suppressed there

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

The Soviet-style purge is intensifying

To recap, Trump: -Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence -Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers -Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee -Blamed the DCA crash on DEI This is disastrous leadership.

A lot of tragedy is going to occur over the coming four years as Americans inevitably find out the hard way that governments, while imperfect, actually do many things that make their lives better and safer.

House GOP members are figuring out which of Trump's promised tax cuts to propose into law and how to pay for them. Among their targets: slashing benefits for single mothers and the poor who rely on government health care. By @robert-faturechi.bsky.social & @justinelliott.bsky.social

Heartbreaking 💔

"Trump has denied or downplayed links to Project 2025," said @molly.wiki, who exposed the memos' authors. "These documents show that implementation is well underway."

Not a great sign when Wired says it won't name at least two fo the people Musk has installed to run the Office of Personnel Management because they may be minors www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

The only thing more dangerous than a vengeful president is an opposition that’s too despondent to fight back. “There won’t be an election in 4 years.” Oh really? Please. You don’t know what will happen tomorrow.

Inspectors General are key public servants tasked with holding our government accountable. They’re independent, nonpartisan whose work is identifying fraud, waste, & importantly, abuse. Trump just fired them all. Make no mistake: he's purging those who will protect the rule of law.

If you threatened to deport a bishop because they advocated for mercy, you’re not a follower of Jesus Christ.

Supreme Court sides with House DFL in quorum case. #mnleg

So we federal civilians are recuev8ng this at work now. Thought I'd share. Don't know how to get this message out but I trust you Pearlmania.

Hundreds of refugees bound for Minnesota over the next few months are now stuck abroad, including two orphaned Karen children and a Somali family of five in Kenya.

Get ready. Trump is going to fire most of the VA workforce, 70% of which are Veterans, then to "fix" the problems he created, he's going to privatize the VA and send our veterans to expensive, shitty corporate health mills after he slashes health benefits so he and his buddies can get richer.

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

Today and in the coming days, remember

Funny how the Christian Nationalists aren’t at all upset about this image. But if it had been Joe or Kamala who had been sworn in without their hand on the Bible folks would be pearl clutching and calling them the Antichrist. Interesting what people will overlook in service to their agendas.

Any questions ?

House Republicans are still working to overturn an election in Shakopee to unseat DFL Rep. Brad Tabke. Election night: ✅ Tabke won. Recount: ✅ Tabke won. Judge: ✅ Tabke won. Republicans: ❌ Refusing to accept the results. Voters should decide elections, not Republican legislators

Yesterday, Trump signed more executive orders on Inauguration Day than any President in history. Every day this week, I'll be breaking down Trump's attacks on your rights and freedoms. First up: immigration rights and birthright citizenship. (1/11)
