Over the next 15 months, we can expect a coordinated campaign — backed by the full power of the executive branch — to undermine confidence in our election system. Here’s what to expect, and how key actors can be ready to respond: bit.ly/4fRIqtA
"Bless his heart"
While Donald Trump and his billionaire buddies line their pockets, we’re stuck paying the cost for their greed.
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time. When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”
Who cares about childhood cancer. We need money for the military to go pick up trash in DC. It's desperate there!
Why do people vote against their own best interest? In case their rich someday they want their taxes low??!!!
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
Really important new study on the tax rate of billionaires from @gabrielzucman.bsky.social et al Upshot: The top 400 ultrabillionaires: 23.8% Avg Americans: 30.2% Yes, the superrich pay far less in taxes than the rest of us. www.nber.org/papers/w34170
If only the news media and social media would ignore MAGA. Stop feeding them!!
These guys should be home with their families.
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
Resentful is a mild term but it must cover all Republicans! They are promoters and enablers for the Felon, DOGE, Theil, Vought and others. The whole party is responsible for America's dissent into Fascism and Techno billionaire control.
Their focus on ratings makes them complicit.
The UN has a little informational update for us this evening, also useful to anyone currently threatening to invade New York
I’ve heard military law experts advise, if you are given an illegal command as a soldier, do not blindly obey. Call your attorney. Obeying an illegal command can result in a court martial.
🔥🔥🔥
Frost: On one end, we have the big ugly law. And then on the other, we have the federal government occupying our cities.. It's not two different things. It's the same damn thing. These aren't things that distract from one another. This is the thing to enable the other thing,
🔥🔥🔥
Warren: But right now, given what Texas has done, I say to California and Gavin Newsom, well played
No one will hold them accountable so, yes, they will get away with it.
FAFO
What happens if they don't shut it down???
If this Republican Administration and synchphants feel America's cities and states are so horrific, maybe they should leave the country.
#AltGov exists to call out the BS in real time and expose the machinations of the powerful. #AltCitizens respond with action. Together, we bring accountability and throw wrench after wrench to slow the wheels of tyranny. If we wait, we risk losing everything.
I'm consistently baffled this occurring in American and the majority of Americans are doing nothing. 💔
This Republican Administration, which enabled DOGE, creates devastation everywhere and will for decades.
It's time to GET LOUD, DC. The people who oppress our communities are not welcome in our communities. No matter where you are tonight, bring noisemakers, pots and pans, GoGo on the stereo, whistles, chants, or any other way to MAKE NOISE so Trump hears we want FEDERAL FORCES OUT NOW — FREE DC.
Make no mistake, they've been planning for years to control every aspect of American life. Fascism is here.
Their cruelty and desire for control is boundless.
NEW: More than 20,500 workers have left or been pushed out of federal health agencies, a ProPublica analysis found. Staffers say the cuts will leave their agencies less equipped to conduct studies, perform inspections and combat deadly outbreaks.
Sarah, a victim/survivor of Epstein/Maxwell, & co-conspirators tells all. Listen. Feel. Believe. Demand #Justice4Survivors. #WhereIsTheList
Exactly what they want. Employees working 3x harder with fewer resources and volunteers to keep the park running. They win, everyone else loses.
Great, now what??
Getting ready for civil war!
Thank you! I'm stalling getting the Shingrix vaccine as I'm dreading feeling sick for a few days. Silly, I know as shingles is much worse.
Great point and phrasing examples. Average citizens don't understand how vaccines work and since they're less trusting of medical professionals, words matter.
Why do some vaccines, even if they're the same type (modified live, killed, etc) cause more side effects such as fatigue, achiness, etc?
Thank you for saying "bodily autonomy". These words emphasize this Republican Administration's real motives: control women, control choice to matche their white patriarchal Christian Nationalist beliefs.
FAFO!
This Republican Administration's cruelty to humans and animals alike is deplorable. They're the most egotistical self-serving worst of the worst Americans.
And the majority of citizens are going about their daily life as if nothing is happening beyond typical political disputes.
If you’re in the US military and are interested in seeking discharge or reassignment as a Conscientious Objector, we can help. We’ll work with you to navigate the complex admin process. Our services are free of charge. CENTER ON CONSCIENCE AND WAR centeronconscience.org
Yes, but Americans love to spend money on the military!! Definitely not on mental health, addiction, and social services. That's socialist!
👏👏👏💚
Because the "news" revolves around The Felon and Republicans. They control the narrative with drama. Dems and journalists are still playing defense.
What they’re doing is ILLEGAL. It’s false imprisonment and nothing is being done about it🤬. And when it comes to fascism, too many are wearing rose colored glasses and saying ‘let’s see what happens.’ A lot of people need to wake the hell up.
Musicians and other artists, please create "We are America" like was done for We Are the World! Democracy will only survive if all individuals use their unique power, collectively!!
Yes! More of this, please!
Same as me with commas and spelling. Auto correct and grammar suggestions ensure I don't have to think as I type.
The embarrassment never ends. Someone please, rescue the guests from grandpa's stories.
YES! And they aren't gerrymandering because they're afraid the won't win on policy. It's been part of the plan. Get into power. Stay in power by extorting every method.
Yes!!!
Repubs freak out about the idea of a trans woman in a bathroom but they're fine with masked assaulting women in public.
Saw a series of new cameras on a NC freeway today. Not sure what they're for....
Americans at large have become accustomed to daily comfort and nuclear family focus. Until that is severely disrupted they won't fight. And once that stability has been removed there won't be enough power to fight. It will be desperate attempts with guns against tanks in the streets.

Let's add climate change and natural disasters, water resources, pandemics, and war. It's all going to collide when Americans are at their weakest.
Horrible!!! I bet they also locked up his dog through Animal Control or left them on the street!
Words, words, words.
...There’s no sanctuary for these people in the city of D.C." "These people"
Waste Fraud and Abuse!
They hopped on the train eagerly while non-voters followed along to avoid inconvenient effort.
If Teflon Don can't be brought down, all those who do his bidding need consequences.
Why aren't their law licenses being challenged?
Poor pup. Her teeth appear to need some dental care. 💜
Are the huge non stop protests going on in DC? I haven't seen any. If there aren't, we're in terrible trouble. Americans are living their lives as normal and gradually getting used to Authoritarian rule. Republicans are counting on this.
And what happens if they don't comply???
This Republican Administration is stacking the deck to cheat win or lose.
It's why I always refer to it as the Republican Administration. They encoraged and enabled this drift into Authoritarianism. They've been planning it for decades. Voters and Dems should have been prepared.
Love this!!!!
Stephen Miller tried to claim only real "Americans" built the Empire State Building, but he left out the true stories of the Indigenous ironworkers who actually did. The Mohawk Skywalkers helped shape America's skylines—and shatter the lie behind Miller’s whitewashed nostalgia.
Good trouble:
Stop what you're doing and listen to this warning from @marcelias.bsky.social about the real reason for Trump's National Guard deployment in DC.
Facts don't matter. The Republican Administration's marketing strategy works.
🔥🔥
EPSTEIN!
More of this, please!!!
Definition: Authoritarianism the blind submission to authority and the repression of individual freedom of thought and action. Authoritarian regimes..do not afford..citizens civil liberties or political rights. Power is concentrated in the hands of a single leader or a small elite…

A January memo from the Department of Justice
Great little series on women's contributions to democracy by @hcrichardson.bsky.social 10 segments all brief (under 2 mins.) All important contributions from all ethnicities. How easily Americans are piddling it all away. youtube.com/playlist?lis...
People in Los Angeles have been protesting 24 hours for 2 weeks straight and no news outlet is covering it! 8/8/25
I disagree that Repubs change tactics knowing their policies are unpopular. This gives them way to much credit. They don't care what citizens think. They're rigging the system to consolidate and remain in power. They've been planning for decades.
They are comprehensive in their layers of control. The villains were planning for decades while the rest were asleep.
Dear all scientists and everyone who cares about #NIH and medical cures: This is very important! Please read the thread and blog post. The Supreme Court looks very likely to blow up NIH grants and create chaos. Decision could come any time. 🧪
This is reflective of who we are as Americans and homo sapiens.
Agree. A claus needs to be added to every relevant article to states the breach of power/law. What this Republican Administration is doing can not be normalized ever. Call it out consistently and repeatedly.
Ballroom or Children's cancer research....the orange Mussolini scrapped cancer research funding to build a ballroom in the WH instead🤬🤬🤬🤬
Access to health care should never be tied to your job!
Thank you, Governor Hochel!! 👏👏👏 More of this, please!
If it wasn't perverse, why in the world would the Felon know anything about any certain spa attendant let alone end a friendship because they quit to work for the friend. How many people work at Mar a Lago? Does the Felon track every chef, landscaper, janitor? No, just young girls he likes to rape!
Agree! Follow the money. It's how this Republican Administration bullies cities and states to commit and comply. It's not about deporting people, there's no financial gain for cronies in that strategy.
