The new cover of TIME.

Please understand me when I say this: It is MORE IMPORTANT, not less, to listen to your lawyers and legal support right now if you are doing ANY kind of activism, direct action, or organizing work. It is MORE important. I'm really serious.

I am serious too. I was dismissed when I raised this a few days ago, called a "scourge" and other things, by those who don't want to admit that there is REAL DANGER right now for those engaging in direct action, including consequences to the nation at large. I don't know how to put it more plainly.

🪓MASS DELETION UPDATE—More than 1,000 pages are now deleted from websites of CDC, National Institutes of Health, and other sites of the Department of Health and Human Services, according to a new WSJ analysis—including many **vaccine recommendation** scientific pages!

Coming up at 12n ET, we're talking about Musk trying to access a sensitive US Treasury platform paying out $1 trillion/yr in social security & tax refunds, as official in charge quits; senior FBI officials fired; Trump signs a racist EO blaming DEI for crash; and more. youtube.com/live/z_Ql3O9...

#Maddow pointing out that Pete Hegseth has already made a massive blunder, breaking protocol on death notifications related to the service members killed in the helicopter crash. He was supposed to keep their information private for 24 hours. It took him about 12 hours to blab details about them.

I with there was a common sense form of etiquette on social media. Tided for #1 on my list would fast checking your posts for accuracy, including memes. I think it's rude to leave it to the reader to fact check your comments. Please post a credible source. Thank you.

BREAKING: The White House budget office has rescinded its order that froze federal grants and sparked widespread confusion.

Learn from ECM and more. She is an attorney and activist. Your living in a participatory democracy means more than posting memes, some of which are not even fact-checked.

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

You read anything today, make this a priority! When H5N1 mutates, we will never know! 1.1 million new covid-19 infections daily! We are in the middle of a huge surge! The Trump administration has made it Crystal clear, the health of the American people does not matter!

On today's broadcast at 12 noon ET, we're talking about Trump's return to office, all the EOs and whether they will stick, Trump's pardons of the 1/6 insurrectionists, Musk's salute, Cannon's refusal to disclose the second volume of the report, and way more. youtube.com/live/7f0WmLP...

47 minutes into the argument - Francisco isn't done. We've got two more advocates. It's already clear it's over for TikTok. Just a mess.

This cuts SNAP, Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, plus defunds climate remediation efforts and so much more. Project 2025 has arrived.

A bit of good news for a change 😊

Time for a "feel good" post. youtu.be/zIEIvi2MuEk?...

Please consider credibly posting your source of info with pertinent posts. I think there is implied etiquette with not burdening the reader to Goggle your post for legitimacy. Imho, opinions are one thing, but "news' is worth of credibility.

If I had to express my deep sense of dislocation about this political moment and the national mood, I’d put it this way: I feel like the murder of a healthcare CEO probably has wider support than *actual* single payer healthcare.

And people wonder why Bluesky is taking off while Threads is decaying.

Make NO mistake: John Thune is set to cut Social Security benefits. If he does the Republicans in office will sign their retirement.

Are you fucking kidding me?! www.asahq.org/about-asa/ne...

When I was a child, I learned that the Constitution didn’t apply to people like us. I said the Pledge of Allegiance from inside a barbed wire camp, the words “with liberty and justice for all” wholly meaningless. But I did not give up on America. I’ve spent my life fighting for its ideals.

Perhaps more of the legacy media should have pushed back on his lies at the time. @democracydocket.com did.
