Democrats you want to do something? Sign up to be a poll worker for the April Election. Every polling place needs democrats; rural, urban, suburban. Contact your local election authority, or county clerks office & request to sign up for training. Plan now to take off work. #DemocracyNotDictatorship

Please take a few minutes today & read this piece by @rtraister.bsky.social. I have tried to write/say something similar several times over the last month but find myself too choked by rage & futility to get through anything. Rebecca says it all:

I don’t mean to be rude about this, but since Musk isn’t the DOGE administrator, under what authority is he ordering this? If this is an order from Trump, where is it written up and why isn’t it implemented via Cabinet secretaries?

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

this is not where you want to be in the opening stages of your project to bludgeon the American population into submission so you can destroy their government

“Did you know that for a long time, Girl Scouts has openly included transgender and nonbinary individuals in its membership?” Really wonderful from @erininthemorning.com. Now buy some cookies if you can 🍪

you would not joke about elon's botched penile implant if you knew an ill-mannered pug ran off with most of his dick and balls during the procedure. he spends hours every week chasing after it with a big dog catcher's net.

Got himself arrested on purpose while telling his city council to not put a MAGA plaque on the library because MAGA = Nazis. It worked, producing media coverage. Baller. ✊ www.latimes.com/socal/daily-...

By the way, this is one of the issues where you might be able to make some headway with GOP reps if you live in a rural district. It has always been the heavily red rural districts that stopped them from destroying USPS in the past. Reps know their constituents depend on USPS.

Did the @nytimes.com really quote the mf-ing communications director of the Houston YOUNG REPUBLICANS as if he were just some random young Black person who likes Trump? Cause it sure looks like it.

How stupid and arbitrary are Trump's mass firings at federal agencies? A State Dept employee tells me some colleagues are racing to change their job descriptions so phrases like "transnational crime" don't get caught up in DOGE AI bots scanning for words like "trans" to fire people because "DEI."

People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.
