Pressed to provide evidence of fraud that Musk has discovered, Leavitt waves around "screenshots of contracts" that go "against the president's policies" (going against Trump's policies is not fraud)
‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history. This pride, we riot.
They’re really getting down in the weeds to scrub trans people from history along with the present. The nasty pettiness of it says everything about this fascist administration.
They’re also attempting to divide us, and it works on a small subset of anonymous morons. (See least popular comments here.) Stay unified, people. Transphobes are also homophobes, even if we gay people are no longer Target #1.
Why did Trump have himself put in charge of the Kennedy Center?Because he knows that the educated and cultured people who patronize it despise him. So he seeks revenge. And he knows that his being in charge of the center will destroy it.
Reporter: Why do you want to be chairman of Kennedy Center board?Trump: Some of the shows were terrible. They were a disgrace.Reporter: Have you seen any shows there?Trump: No, I didn’t go.
Seven witnesses tell me that CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp allegedly engaged in lewd conduct and allegedly sexually assaulted a man at a bar on Saturday night near a property he owns in north-central Virginia.

The Middle Ages called. they want their superstitions and their paranoias, their fear, their quaking religiosity, their faux piety, their domination by clerical abusers and perverts back. The USA has usurped the Middle Ages.

Washington, Madison, Lincoln, FDR, Ike, etc. “stood up for America” far more than Trump could ever be capable of doing. Although I agree not one of them or any other American president would have thought that disgraceful display was “standing up” for anything other than his ego. pic.twitter.com/UfJr7pNtvZ

Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that Donald Trump would be a “puppet” for Russian President Vladimir Putin, if the Republican presidential nominee were elected to the White House.
After Trump attacked Clinton during the third and final presidential debate, saying Putin had “no respect” for her or President Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee shot back, “Well, that’s because he’d rather have a puppet as president of the United States.”
“No puppet. No puppet,” Trump shot back. “You’re the puppet. No, you’re the puppet.”

🚨 This is terrifying. 🚨@DHSgov can collect intelligence based SOLELY on sexual orientation or gender identity. This opens the door to labeling #LGBTQIA+ organizing as threats to national security & labeling us "terrorists."#QueerRightsAreHumanRightshttps://t.co/olxfC1wJWe
The DHS is no longer banned from surveilling LGBTQ folx based on immutable characteristics.
All LGBTQ folks are in the same boat now: being targeted for surveillance that the DHS can later use to railroad us for terrorism if we resist our oppression.https://t.co/C4Jqd5TljM
Donald Trump’s Department of Education has launched a new portal for Americans to rat out the diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts at their local public schools.
Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities.They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.
Since I’ve been getting this a lot – if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Projectwww.thetrevorproject.org
If DOGE wants to root out "waste, fraud and abuse" in the healthcare area re: Medicaid, how about they cut out the wasteful, price gouging mafia middlemen in between us and our doctors, the insurance companies, and make Americans' healthcare entirely self funding with one payer?
Guess who’s getting a new FAA contract to help privatize air safety?Elon Musk. He’s cutting the FAA and everything else in government — and carving it off for himself.THE WHOLE THING IS A MONEY GRAB
Medicaid covers:- 21% of Americans nationally- 83 million low-income Americans- 4 in 10 children- 1 in 4 adults with disabilities- Nearly 50% of kids with special needs- 41% of births nationwide- 5 in 8 nursing home residents- 32% of people in Mike Johnson's home state

Our immigration carceral system is designed to create a permanent underclass of subminimum wage workers who can't speak up about workplace abuse or unionize for fear of deportation. Corporations like DoorDash prefer immigrants to be under threat, and that's who Trump represents.
Ok now vote is back on. To be clear this is basically a purely symbolic vote on a framework that won’t pass the senate and should be an absolute lay up
This is "The Boardroom" from Donald Trump’s “reality” show “The Apprentice.” Look at the top and you can see where the wall ends because it wasn’t a real boardroom. It was a set built on a soundstage because Trump’s real offices were small and shoddy. The show created an *illusion* of Trump success.
Of these two, the one bigot above or the classy lady below. Hate is not good for anyone.

This man, who might be high on Ketamine at any given moment, talks privately with Putin. He is not elected, nor is he appointed by Congress. He’s ‘outside’ of government.
He has hired a crew of young rightwing nerds and they are now inside every fucking computer system in the government. They work for a Russian agent.
Don’t be surprised when, sometime soon, every system shuts down or worse, every dime of US money is flying into Russian accounts.
It is painful to see that it would be so easy to destroy a big country like America.
Horribly hateful people / person the above.
“This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.” of course it is they’re just using DEI as a cover.
I appreciate that Ten Bears adds his thoughts here. I have taken great value from his comments and his posts. I admit I don’t know enough about social media and these spoofing of names / IDs online. I don’t comment much and I doubt I am important enough for anyone to do this horrible thing to me. I imagine finding others posting as Scotties Playtime, as me saying things I do not agree with nor would ever say and the thought of it would not only anger me but how to explain to people now angry it was not me who felt that way. So this is a repost to let people know if they read something that sound off from what you know I would say, what others you follow would say, please think about if it is really them saying that thing.

This time I tried to not only use memes and cartoons but also stuff from Bluesky I like. Let me know if that is something you all enjoy. If the Bluesky links to far more important news links is jarring to your viewing, again let me know. Hugs

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding”Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure.We are all in this together, and we all go down together.I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.
Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked.Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care.And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care!AMAZING
People with doctorates are the most liberal and progressive. The entire mission of destroying academia is to eliminate entire voting demographics. They explicitly spell this out.Shutting down PhD programs isn't an accident, it's the goal.
This is a stunning betrayal by Whitman Walker in DC.You CANNOT jettison the trans community to protect yourself.It’s shameful. I got my name changed at WWH. I have promoted their research.Now they are capitulating to save gay people at trans people’s expense by trying to erase us.
A sitting congressman calling Elon Musk a dick is now considered a threat by the DOJ and are now starting a criminal investigation. This is the death of free speech in the United States.
I love this! While far too many of the top Democratic Party leadership want to stand by watching the government fall and burn thinking it will be a sweet easy return to pick up the pieces they don’t seem to understand the power of messaging. Every failure of government will be blamed on the democrats while everything of benefit Biden did will be created to their great god tRump. We need to get an offensive game going yesterday. A defensive only game loses every time. We are battling uphill only because our team won’t go to every microphone they see and blast the republicans. There is so much easy low hanging fruit to nail them on. The question is … are the democrats too scared to come out and play the game they ran to be in? They seem to be cowering before the maga republicans just as the republicans cower before tRump. How can they expect anyone to vote for them if they already surrendered. Hugs
The dismissal of criminal charges against the Yam Man for concealing classified records at Mar-a-Lago eliminated a significant barrier to making records about the probe public, a federal judge ruled Monday. Via Politico:
U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell said Trump’s election as president — which forced the end of the criminal case — combined with the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity mean Trump is effectively insulated from any criminal responsibility for his conduct. That means the FBI’s previous reasons for refusing to gather and disclose records related to the probe no longer apply, Howell wrote in a ruling in a Freedom of Information Act case brought by journalist Jason Leopold.
She noted that while the dismissal of charges against Trump may have reduced his criminal exposure, it “ironically” made him more susceptible to public scrutiny for his conduct. “With the far dampened possibility of any criminal investigation to gather evidence about a president’s conduct and of any public enforcement proceeding against a president, the [Supreme Court’s] decision … has left a FOIA request as a critical tool for the American public to keep apprised of a president’s conduct,” Howell ruled.
“The phrase “cute winter boots” is not about footwear. It’s a code phrase being used to discuss resistance to Trump and how to fight back against the draconian immigration policies his administration is enacting. Users talking about “cute winter boots” keeping people safe from “ice,” are referencing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “Cute winter boots” is just the latest example of algospeak, coded phrases and words aimed at subverting algorithmic filters.”
The reason is a perceived idea – which may well have basis in fact – that actual discussion of how to combat ICE raids and so on will be demoted by the platform’s content algorithm. It’s also clearly a way of trying to avoid scrutiny from authorities. But it also reveals a strong knowledge of what the TikTok algorithm likes to promote:
“The videos discussing “cute winter boots” leverage the TikTok algorithm’s preference for product-focused content to amplify their reach. “What the algorithm likes is products,” said Diana, the admin of @/citiesbydiana, a TikTok account about urban planning. “It’s a way to talk about resisting the federal government in a way that will actually reach people.””
This is absolutely dystopian police state stuff, but at the same time, it shows a ton of initiative, and illustrates that people aren’t going to take any of this lying down. Power to them.
