I want to stay informed about topics I'm interested in. Presently, I'm focused on current events and taking action. I live in an orange idiot area of my state and want to be able to ask questions without fear of f2f rage.

Stephen King dropped in on X, after being gone since last year, to leave this little message…

The only Kings I want in this country are Regina, Billy Jean and Stephen. Carole can stay, too.❤️ Fight me.

And THAT, my friends, is how it’s done! 🤗 Rich McCormick showed up to his own town hall expecting a warm GOP hug and instead got booed into another dimension. His constituents—actual Republican voters—lit him up like a malfunctioning Tesla, furious over job losses, budget cuts, 1/4

Fun fact: Today is my 666th day on Bluesky. I've been having a devilishly good time since I've been here. To celebrate this sinister accomplishment, I have made a donation to Americans United for Separation of Church and State. Here's to the next 666 days! www.au.org

To all living former presidents, vice presidents, Congress members, fed judges, former military leaders and all vets: we desperately need your assistance with spreading the word about and helping to resist.

Of course stocks are tumbling in this unstable, scary environment led by ignorant, unstable people. Countless Americans fired, programs we rely on shuttered. Trump has alienated allies & trade partners. Stupid tariffs loom & with them higher inflation. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/b...

I have a few theories as to why Trump is gunning so hard to strip Native Americans of citizenship - resources, money and racism. He wants to give the rez land and its resources to his cronies. Casinos for himself, and to strip black American descendants of slaves, of their citizenship …

Research shows that LGBTQ+ inclusion can drive economic activity. Open For Business’ latest report shows the economic case for LGBTQ+ Inclusion in Poland: open-for-business.org/poland

Pulling out the same type of device on a traffic stop that was used to beat police officers on Jan 6 is probably not the best plan.

Got to say I LOVE the Trump Administration negotiating to get Rare Minerals from Ukraine, for 2 reasons: 1. It reduces our dependence on China for Lithium and Graphite (China provides near 70% of world supply) 2. More than 50% of those minerals are in Russian Annexed land.

The People’s Hotline is blowing up on social media. Clips of YOUR CALLS are reaching MILLIONS of Americans. 🚨 We are looking for real, personal stories about how the Trump Administration is impacting you and your family. 🚨 These calls are cutting through the noise. Please call & PASS IT ON!

1/8 🚨 Google’s Real-Time Bidding (RTB) system is exposing sensitive data on U.S. military personnel, judges, & government workers to foreign adversaries & ANYONE with the resources to exploit it. This is a national security crisis. ⬇️ #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

83 percent of Americans disapprove of Trump’s Jan. 6 pardons: Poll thehill.com/homenews/adm...

We should all applaud Judge Ho’s appointment of former Bush SG Paul Clement to present a perspective distinct from those of the indicted NYC Mayor Eric Adams and the Trumpservient DOJ prosecutor Emil Bove. Well played! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/n...

I used @5calls.org to call Rep Troy Balderson and Senators Husted & Bernie Moreno today I asked them if we could count on them to protect Medicaid All 3 offices replied "I can't say" "I CAN'T SAY?! AKFKM? This is one of the most urgent matters of the day FFS! #OHpol #Ohio

In Memoriam Congressman John Lewis 2/21/1940-7/17/2020 Honoring the little boy from Troy who dared to dream of freedom and equality for all and believed all things were possible if you got in good trouble. There is no need to miss our precious hero because he lives in each ballot we cast. 🧵1/2

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

www.wired.com/story/doge-e... From the resigning director: "These cuts were shortsighted, ill-informed, and indiscriminate. The government and the American people will be worse off from the loss of these people.” Sounds like a summary of all the cuts made by DOGE so far. Reckless Stupidity.

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

The GOP convicted felon has launched a war on the American people & our constitution. We have guardrails to stop a rogue president. But are our lawmakers? Happy to be part of it & obey, in the foolish belief that THEY will be spared. Wait for the final irony. #Opposition #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Cuts to NSF expected to be at 50% reduction in force for an independent agency that fuels discovery and innovation. "The NSF budget was $9B, or 0.13% of the total [budget]." This is not about fiscal prudence. This is about killing universities. nanoscale.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-...

I just wanna congratulate @meidastouch.com for beating Joe Rogan, and thank them for recommending my Substack. Indie media FTW! Check theirs out here: www.meidasplus.com

A rogue DOJ… Pardons for Jan6 treasonous acts were inexcusable. Broaden the scope to include drugs, guns…and child porn manufacturing/possession of child porn? Abuse of judicial power. www.npr.org/2025/02/20/n... Criminals supported by bigger criminals. This is our country. #SheShed

Get Ready For Delayed Tax Refunds, Long Hold Times After Mass IRS Firings But wealthy tax evaders will enjoy “a feast” as the strained federal agency lacks the resources to hold them accountable, said one tax policy expert.
