Americans are having our services gutted while facing a massive cost of living increase. The economic anxiety is palpable. And yet he wants to spend $90M for a military parade for his birthday. Republicans are ok with this waste, fraud, and abuse? www.cnn.com/2025/04/07/p...

The Constitution gives CONGRESS power over tariffs. Congress gave that power away to the president over the years. The Republican-majority Congress could STOP Trump's tariffs. Right now. BUT THEY ARE CHOOSING NOT TO.
Local Indivisible member was abducted by ICE in Washington. If you're in the state, please elevate this thread to your electeds and ask for their help in getting his release.

Just an FYI, even the Conservative subreddit is demanding consequences for this COLOSSAL fuckup. That’s how you KNOW it’s bad. This isn’t leadership. It’s the clown conducting a circus. apnews.com/article/trum...

I think they’re all culpable for this, not just Waltz. The fact it happened at all is wild, but none of the other people in the chat even bothered to validate who was on the call? And this wouldn’t have even been an issue had they not been using an *iPhone app* to conduct war planning.
Pete Buttigieg@petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 2y agoFrom an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Exactly what I’ve been saying. I’m shocked this hasn’t happened sooner.
Kimberley Johnson@kimberleyjohnson.bsky.social · 2y agoSo, I'm not attacking the Democratic Party. I'm a Democrat through and through. But the party could use some help with messaging. Someone with money needs to put together a team of advertising execs and human psychology experts to get this shit going. The right has been at it for decades.
This is really the whole ball game right now, *particularly* among the institutions that make up civil society. (my parents definitely had this poster when I was growing up)

Amen. 🇺🇸 They want you to believe this is radical. It isn’t.
Millions of seniors who rely on Social Security as a lifeline could see their benefits disrupted once DOGE cuts crucial phone services. Why the cuts? To address fraud that amounts to less than 0.00625% of what the government sends out in benefits each year. Hello?

The decisive test of our society in my lifetime was the 2024 election and our failure was spectacular and total. I will never again have any faith in the American electorate to do the obviously right thing.
Imagine calling yourself the master race and have to resort to erasing the achievements of minorities to make yourself feel better.
I’m waiting for an executive order that bans seat belts.
Here’s your president America. He believes he should be able to do WHATEVER he wants. And no judge/court should be able to stop him. So I ask you America: Do u agree with him? Should he be able to do WHATEVER he wants? Even if a judge/court says it’s illegal or unconstitutional?
This tweet is from a DOGE “engineer.” Anyone, like myself, who works with data for a living knows how ridiculous this claim is on multiple levels. These people have NO idea what they’re doing.
Trump claimed “The world will respect us again!” Two months into office, France is starting a motion to repossess the Statue of Liberty on the grounds that America is no longer a symbol of liberty. This isn’t The Onion… www.france24.com/en/france/20...

I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard. Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.
Trump doesn’t respect veterans because they’re veterans of other presidents’ wars. Fighting for your country means nothing to him. It doesn’t register in the mind of a malignant narcissist. This is why he has no problem abandoning them. time.com/7266955/trum...

Indivisible ❌👑@indivisible.org · 2y ago🧵 The passage of this dangerous Republican funding bill is a travesty. The ongoing administrative coup led by Donald Trump and Elon Musk is a constitutional crisis. The authoritarians stripping away our rights and trying to loot the government to enrich the billionaires are a five-alarm fire.
The #TeslaTakedown protest in Smithtown, NY earlier today was at least double the size of the same protest 2 weeks ago —same day of the week, time, and location. The movement is growing! Join the movement. 🫡 indivisible.org
