Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Said the man cosplaying working class in a hoodie and cut off sweats on the floor of the United States Senate.
The weeks of performative “resistance” from those in my party were limited to undignified antics.
Voting to shut the government down will punish millions or risk a recession.
I disagree with many points in the CR, but I will never vote to shut our government down.

NEW: Archived tweets for Gavin Kriger, Musk's 20-something DOGE employee wreaking havoc inside USAID, shows that Kriger has retweeted multiple neo-Nazis including Nick Fuentes, leader of the so-called Groyper movement, and another popular explicit Nazi account recently unmasked by @travisbrown.dev
Gavin Kliger, Elon's DOGE hitler youth shutting down USAID, is now indirectly responsible for the deaths of thousands of children. His Instagram appears to be @gkliger. He's scrubbing his online footprint.

As expected, President Trump just signed an executive order withdrawing the United States from the World Health Organization.
The United States provides around 16% of WHO’s annual budget…over $200 million.

I can’t watch the confirmation hearings: a clown show of white supremacists, sexist, homophobic, incompetents whose only shared goal is burning the country to the ground. They will succeed too. The Democrats have proven incapable of responding to MAGA.

In the face of a devastating natural disaster, right-wing media decided to lay the blame on the "diversity" in the LA Fire Department rather than, for example, climate change.
As Los Angeles burns, we're seeing a conflagration of lies and disinformation
Bad-faith actors, including Donald Trump, are blaming the outcome on "diversity" in the fire department and a nonexistent “water declaration resolution."
