As I child, I believed in the US. I was taught that our nation was great and and something to be proud of. Today, federal employees fear losing their jobs and, subsequently, health care. What kind of stupid-ass shithole nation is this? We literally have the power to be better, but do this instead.
Pass it on.

It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup
"The Attorney General has requested the FBI deliver the remaining documents to the Department by 8:00 AM on February 28 and has tasked FBI Director Kash Patel with investigating why the request for all documents was not followed."
I'm sure he'll get right on that.
I'm 100% down for it.
So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”?
But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"?
Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.
UPDATE: The charges against her have been dropped “in the interest of justice” (she bit one of the brownshirts that assaulted her) and the private security firm has lost their license to operate. I hope she sues them into oblivion.
They are not “Trump’s lawyers.” They are US Attorneys and their oath is to the Constitution.
Including freedom of the press.
I'll have a few minutes after votes tonight to talk about some of the events of the day on video. What do you want to know?
BREAKING: HHS employees are told that responding to the Five Bullets is voluntary, but warns that if you respond, "assume that what you write will be read by malign foreign actors."
If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.
UNFUN FACT: The current president of France speaks the English language at a higher level than the current president of the United States.
A Southwest Airlines plane was forced to abort its landing this morning after a private jet taxied in front of it across the runway at Midway Airport in Chicago.
Whatever that guy from The Real World is doing with the FAA has gotta stop.
We've been saying for YEARS that Donald Trump is a Russian asset, and people kept shrugging it off as if we were overreacting. The evidence has been there since before the first presidency, since before the Steele Dossier even came out.
I miss DEI
This is the way.
I'm not sure how soaring egg prices, mass firings, emboldened Nazis, a Measles outbreak, and planes falling out of the sky count as "wins" to MAGA, but I'd sure hate to see what losing is to them.
BREAKING: Judge in our Treasury case vs. DOGE just raised profound "concerns about constitutionality of DOGE"!

We @sddaction.bsky.social will be in Md. Fed. Ct. Friday in our appointments clause case to prove DOGE is unconstitutional
Currently appearing at UK bus-stops.
More of this pointed ridicule, please.
Let’s get something clear. The GOP has the power to keep the government from shutting down in March. They control both chambers of Congress and the White House. If they can’t reach a budget deal within their own ranks, that completely on them.
Dems: Don’t lift a finger to help them. Not one.
After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

Trickle down economics was always a hoax.
