This. Make it hard for the Republicans to destroy the country.

If only there was a word for when an unelected oligarch moves quickly to take over control of the government.

The legacy media is failing us. Support independent media.

I suspect USAID is first because it's "foreign aid" and fewer Americans will object. But once the precedent is established, expect unilateral dismantling of domestic institutions too

No one voted for Elon Musk.

An unelected billionaire is trying to raid the Treasury Department and take money from the American people.

This is a constitutional crisis and we choose to fight. We’re taking action to stop the Trump-Musk power grab this week. Join us: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

The move by DOGE means it could have wide leeway to access important taxpayer data, among other things.

honestly think some of the hesitation here is that no one wants to sound like a crank. i was talking at an event last night and even i felt like a crank while i was speaking!
What if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it?

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

We can’t let a mega rich dude shut down the main foreign aid program created and funded by Congress just because he doesn’t like it and has our president by the balls

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.

So let me get this straight, Rev Lorenzo Sewell gave an over the top prayer at the inauguration, and then literally launched a crypto coin after?

This is just the biggest grift in human history. Ever. OMG

It's hard to believe that in a matter of days, the US govt wants members of the public to snitch on their co-workers. This is Stasi level bullshit. And the most depressing thing is - some Americans will do it.

Have seen some lazy writing about inequality and EDI of late (in relation to Trump-linked rollback on DEI programs and the REF PCE pilot). This is a reasoned and evidence-base antidote from Prof Keon West. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

All these people pushing carnivore diet on Tik Tok and I’m like - in what universe are vegetables bad for you? Eating nothing but protein can impair your kidney function, increase cholesterol, increase risk of colon cancer. You’re also looking at gout. Don’t fall for it. Eat vegetables and fruit.

Trump this morning proposing that TikTok becomes a state-sponsored social media app to pump out propaganda.

Oh, and if TikTok is spying on us, does that mean the US government will be spying on us, too?

There is a reason TikTok is so good at figuring out what you want to see, and why it’s better than everything else: it’s a weapon, and the best weapon is one you don’t know exists, or worse, one you think you can’t live without

I mean honestly, this TikTok scam Trump’s pulled out of a hat like a three year old with their first Marvin’s Magic set is risible. What’s more worrying is that there are enough gullible Americans falling for it.
