SEN. @gallego.senate.gov on the terrible Milei rock concert: “Millions of Americans are about to lose their health care and have their insurance premiums double, but Trump & Republicans are giving this idiot $20 BILLION. Good job. Way to make America First, guys.”

Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

- Millions of federal employees aren’t getting paid
- 15 million people about to lose their health care
- 24 million Americans could see their insurance premiums DOUBLE

Now Speaker Johnson gives House Republicans another week off work. 4 straight weeks out of DC. Unbelievable.

Painful to hear the fear in her voice as she says, "let them know." And as others have noted, this seems to violate Judge Ellis's order issued just yesterday about arresting journalists & also about unnecessary physical force. (See 1(a) and 1(h) of order). storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

As a protest optics nerd love about the inflatables is how much they visually disrupt and pull focus from the fascist shock imagery Noem & Miller are trying to create.

So many of these photos now look like the world's silliest dance party, backgrounded by a bunch of guys in uniform looking awkward

Portland is leading the way. This is how you (non violently) beat Fascism. Humor and ridicule are key.

One reason I donate to #Wikipedia.

More, though, is that without doubt, it's going to hit by a tsunami of suppression very soon, as it's anathema to all that the Trumpist regime and its techbro billionaire fanboys stand for.

Without global support, it will be destroyed.

Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

When referring to people who are anti-Trump, don't fall into the trap of calling them "Antifa."

That is a loaded, mangled word. Call them what they are, "anti-fascists."
