June 14, 2025. To the millions who showed up today. You participated in one of the largest single day protests in American history. And you did it in a week that was the most authoritarian week of the Trump presidency. It matters. Thank you. And keep building.

Alarm bells are ringing. Doge "ripped" the federal government, now Thiel's Palantir is filling the voids with AI. So many negative, horrific potential implications. x.com/capitolhunte...

@stevenmazie.bsky.social Did you see/hear about this provision in HR1?

@georgetakei.bsky.social Hi George, I'm passing this information around to high profile influencers that I know of after reading about it this morning. I'm concerned that this could kill the system of checks and balances. From HR1, feel free to look it up.

@maryltrump.bsky.social This is pretty alarming, Mary. I thought you'd want to know about this in case you haven't already. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-hidden...

They're trying to make people fearful of speaking out.

I only remember a handful of Tweets from over the years. But one that will stick with me forever is when someone once said: We have enough money in this world to feed every man, woman, and child. But we'll never have enough money on this planet to satiate the insatiable appetite of billionaires.

🤔 This is hilarious!

I just saw someone get banned on Twitter for posting the AfD political platform so that Americans can understand what they're really about. I clicked to view the full post and the account no longer existed. I really wish I didn't have any reason to be on there.

If you're breaking the law, lining your own pockets, and calling it "public service" — the Amendment I introduced in the Oversight Committee has your name on it. No more taxpayer-funded grift. Not for Trump. Not for Elon. Not for anyone. The GOP once again blocked it.

Trump on China: "They made a trillion dollars with Biden selling us stuff. Much of it we don't need. Somebody said, 'oh, the shelves are gonna be open.' Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more."

I saw a post on r/comedyheaven of another post featuring a Liberian flag in place of an American flag. Someone pointed out it was for Liberia, and someone else said "Liberals don't have a flag." 🙄 Which got me to thinking about a conservative flag...

@govpritzker.illinois.gov Hello Governor, I appreciate the stand you're taking against the present majority party in D.C. I think what we need most is a common, agreed upon platform and or organization to coordinate our efforts. I think it would be helpful if you took the lead on this.

What do you say we create a National Wear Your Chicago Bulls Hat Day? New symbol of the resistance? www.reddit.com/r/illinois/c...

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Vengeance of the AI era: Palo Alto crosswalks were hacked into this weekend to play various recordings of Zuck & Musk saying some sad & naughty things. 😅 #goodtrouble #Teslatakedown

Reminder: a century ago, the U.S. abandoned some tariffs, and Congress began delegating others to the Executive, in large part because of the graft & corruption resulting from carve-outs & exemptions. Today, the President is the engineer of the graft & corruption, and he and his cronies love it.

The entire administration is a table full of crazy uncles at Thanksgiving dinner
