And remember folks, many so-called #ProgLibs #Democrats are really, as #Obama claimed to be himself, "Moderate #Republicans... ie. Moderate #Fascists.

"When you understand that the #DemocraticParty is NOT a leftist party, but a right-wing #capitalists party and the #RepublicanParty is a far-right #neofascists party then you realize why every piece of legislation and bailout in Washington DC ALWAYS puts corporations over people." -Ryan Knight 2:33 PM 23 Dec 20


Elon Musk spent over $200 million to buy the Presidency then shoved Trump out of the way as soon as the election was declared putting himself in charge of the Oval Office.

The move is unconstitutional, illegal and amounts to no less than a coup.

Breaking Things Faster Than You Can Read About It
Plus: Where have all the Democrats gone?

Text: Elon Musk, who reliable sources inform us is still not technically the president, wants to see reporters whose coverage he doesn’t like thrown in jail. “60 Minutes are the biggest liars in the world! They engaged in deliberate deception to interfere with the last election,” he posted last night. “They deserve a long prison sentence.” Happy Monday.

"What he's doing is illegal, if you care about #law... It's a #NationalSecurity crisis, if you care about national #security. It's unconstitutional, if you care about the #Constitution. It's likely to be devastating to the #economy, if you care about the economy... It's the most corrupt activity in the history of our country, if you care about #corruption."

Text from article (edited for length):
...the richest man in the world fired off a couple Nazi salutes for the delight of the voting base and then he and his gang of pimple-faced digital stoßtruppen started firing everyone else...

It's smash-and-grab looting of our entire shared life together as human society, enacted by a guy who needs none of it, a man who has fattened himself in time of slaughter, who eats long after he is full to bursting, who grinds other humans between his strange teeth just for the love of chewing. And one thing I know about Republicans is that they either love it or they don't give a shit, and you'll know it too, if you ask them.

What he's doing is illegal, if you care about law. It's massively expensive, if you care about expense. It's a national security crisis, if you care about national security. It's unconstitutional, if you care about the Constitution. It's likely to be devastating to the economy, if you care about the economy. It's burning the future for us and for our children, if you care about children. It's the most corrupt activity in the history of our country, if you care about corruption. Republican Americans claim to care about these things. They observably do not.

No Republican with any power to do anything about this is doing anything to stop any of it, and almost all Republicans at whatever level of power are either monumentally complacent or actually happy about what's happening.

They aren't "illegal immigrants". They're undocumented. That term is dated and dehumanizing.

Besides, they aren't doing anything illegal. It's actually a civil offense.

So, how about we treat them with a little bit of *civility* FFS.

"Republicans have long been immersed in transnational networks dedicated to wrecking democracy and now this can be an official part of foreign policy. America will increasingly be part of this autocratic axis."

And where IS all that money being saved by killing #USAID and #regimechange ops going? NOT #Health, #Education, or the Welfare of US civilians... #Trump is GOADING the left, or what passes for one in the US, by the attempted killing of covert civilian ops and putting the overt killing of militarized #colonialism IN YOUR FACE, leftie. Whatcha gonna do about it, punks?

" #Trump & his fellow #Republicans spent the weekend openly attacking the federal judiciary and... the #Constitution ’s separation of powers...

separation of powers is supposed to provide a check from the judicial branch, represented by the courts, against the executive branch of the president"

Trump’s Reaction to Court Order Blocking DOGE Is as Ominous as It Gets

Donald Trump’s supporters are urging him to ignore judges who rule against him. His own thoughts on the matter don’t exactly inspire confidence.

“This is where #democrats either find their spine or lose their #democracy. The stakes aren't just high – they're existential. & right now, the Democratic Party is failing.

They're still playing by rules their opponents abandoned yrs ago, still fighting the last #war & still pretending this is normal politics w/slightly higher stakes.”
#resist #resistance

We’re tired of cooperation w/lawbreakers & frauds.
Aka…#republicans
“Political Capital” no longer exists.
STAND UP & FIGHT!


Dear #democrats

Remember when we had a trifecta in the early #Obama years and the first two years of #Biden? And how the #Republicans stone-walled, stalled, challenged, took us to court, and pretty much stopped us from doing anything for four years each time?

DO THAT!!

They provided the blueprint for minority #resistance, let's follow it!


"We are the minority in the #House and in the #Senate, but we need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. #Democrats should not be giving votes to nominees or legislation in the Senate until #Republicans get serious about this crisis"
-Sen. Chris Murphy (CT)

"180 Republicans voted to defund the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 2019. These 180 Republicans voted against the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2019, which included funding for the agency responsible for keeping air travel safe."

Democrats need to retake both House and Senate in #election2026

#Impeachment would be faster than trying to explain to #republicans how they failed #Democracy 101.


Maybe #Republicans just hate #airtrafficcontrollers? Recall that when they wanted a raise #Reagan fired THEM ALL and replaced them with military ATCs. It was raises then, now it's #DEI.

I'm not sure #unitedststes #republicans should be taken seriously on any topic in #civics .

It's not like they have wholesome or coherent messaging. They can't even elect people who understand public service as they would rather have "a successful businessman" or "not a politician".

Anyone else see the flaws in that reasoning now that we've suffered #trump ?


It was only four years ago when #Republicans were in this situation having just lost a presidential election by a 5-point margin and I don't recall seeing a single story framed like this one.

The GOP, having just lost their 7th popular vote in the previous 8 presidential elections, was never described as "deep in the wilderness."

I'd also note that the Dems were able to pass bills without GOP votes. The #GOP hasn't been able to do that. So Dems objectively have more power.

#ElizabethWarren is 100% right on #Trump's latest blatantly illegal act: '"While President Trump illegally pauses federal funding from Congress, the Senate must not be business as usual," Warren (D-Mass.) argued on social media before the freeze was supposed to take effect. "We do not consent to this lawless power grab."' #Democrats must use every tool they have to bring everything #Republicans want to a screeching halt. Gloves off! https://www.commondreams.org/news/trump-freeze?utm_source=Common+Dreams&utm_campaign=f17882e943-Top+News%3A+Tues.+1%2F28%2F25&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-3b949b3e19-600541243


Watching #alexgarland’s “Civil War”. The non-political nature of the first hour is greatly appreciatedz It’s focused on telling us that the atrocities we see in #palestine should be felt as if they were in the #usa. There are moments of direction where I stop & think, “I wish this was 3-D #imax”.
