Who’s seeing a Newsom Pritzker Ticket? Or maybe Pritzer/Newsom? I think they’d both want to be on the top of the ticket. But either way, it feels appealing and that’s what we need! 🔥💙

This is sick and so dangerous. What happens when he’s done firing everyone who disagrees with him and all reality is a lie?? This is all happening quickly.
Trump just fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics after her downward job report.
No evidence, just excuses.
Economists warn: tampering with data is authoritarian.

ICE targets immigrants.
RFK Jr targets the disabled, elderly & vulnerable.
The whole regime targets marginalized people, those living in poverty and LGBTQ+ individuals.
They’re targeting everyone who they’ve deemed “less than”.
Everyone is expendable under fascism. It comes for all eventually.

USCM passed an emergency resolution today urging the Trump administration to protect & promote trade relations with Canada & Mexico. Mayors stress that pending tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods would inflict severe economic harm on American businesses and consumers.

Where are the courts? Why hasn’t Congress blocked Musk and company from entering anymore federal buildings and accessing anymore government data? He was never confirmed like Cabinet Secretaries yet he had unlimited power. What gives him the power to access ANY government files?
DOGE is about to receive full access to IRS taxpayer data. On its own, that’s horrific. But it gets worse.
The guy with access reposted content by Nick Fuentes (who advocates killing Jews) & says he was inspired to join DOGE by Ron Unz (an antisemitic Holocaust denier).
This is beyond dangerous.

This has made several rounds on social media. February 28 is a blackout date, in protest of the abolition of DEI. Companies like Target, Google and Amazon are shutting down their DEI programs. Jump in to join the movement if you feel compelled!

As may know, the Administration’s freeze on new foreign assistance funding and the abrupt dismantling of USAID, has created significant unintended consequences for America’s national security. Please contact your Members of Congress & urge them to act. Thank you! usglc.quorum.us/campaign/108...

Mexico and Canada are now moving to impose levies. We get what we asked for, a president that only looks out for himself and his family, and nobody else.
Trump started this trade war—now Mexico is hitting back with tariffs & other measures.
Why is Trump really doing this? Mexico has already cracked down on fentanyl & trafficking—so what’s his endgame?
This shows how bad it would be if Mexico cut us off. We’ll all feel the pain—including his voters.

It’s been a week! Mass deportations, atrocious nomination hearings, the firing of key DOJ and FBI prosecutors, blaming a tragic plane crash on DEI and forcing federal employees to quit. What will the end of February look like? Support those affected and stay alert but also breathe! 💙

They’re already utilizing scare tactics, announcing mass deportation plans and even how they’d apply rare laws to deport naturalized citizens. How do they plan to implement those actions? How will they identify those who need to be deported? I’m sacred to learn the answer.
