Knowledge is Power; bringing Power to the People while the Feds won't. HOPE cannot be stolen or sold by the President, nor bought by billionaires - it can only be surrendered & we're not surrendering TODAY.

It’s fitting that Trump 2.0’s first major ask of the Supreme Court arises from his sweeping usurpation of Congress’s power of the purse on Day #1 of his 2nd term. As he told us, he planned to be a Dictator on Day One. He didn’t disappoint. And who’re his victims? search.app/TR3BK2Vt1f25...

The full show down. The AP's seat being held, like a political prisoner, by "Real America"'s host Brian Glenn, aka Majorie's other half, who wasted our time with moronic rhetorical (or plain moronic) questions = another WTF to add to the long list of WTFs since Nov. www.c-span.org/program/whit...

Culpable.

Lots of feelings about the meeting today ... lots to say about it. We'll start here.

"A person familiar with the matter ... said analysts at the agency were verbally informed that they were not to follow or report on Russian threats, even though this had previously been a main focus for the agency." Buckle up! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We strongly encourage following & subscribing to The Contrarian - a well-written, wide awake newsletter. Independent journalism always needs our support & right now it's imperative, on top of being an easy way to show up. Your dollars are one quick, powerful, way to shake some sense into things.

Who doesn't love a purpose-driven excuse to visit our greatest National treasures? You know what to do. Hype. Share. Go. #ProtestforParks #ResistanceRangers

Small actions by individuals ... this is how we build a big movement that manifests change. If you buy, PAY IN CASH & BUY LOCAL. If you need gas, GO TO COSTCO or a Mom & Pop. The idea is great, let's show them we are awake & affect them financially. But as important is the message we are telling

Happy to see @altnps.bsky.social hollering. If you have to buy, buy local. There's a lot of power in money. Bonus points to anyone intentionally supporting our most vulnerable neighbors. I will be delivering letters to Target & Whole Foods tomorrow letting managers know why I can't shop there.

A little interesting article about Amy Gleason, who [enthusiastic 90s era quotation marks here] "OFFICIALLY" [and here] is the acting administrator of DOGE. www.opb.org/article/2025...

If you're on the East Coast it's 12:01am & it's time for a National Economic Blackout. This means don't buy anything for 24 hours, any time today, Feb 28th. If you're curious about why, read below & then some. Let's see what happens. Maybe nothing. Maybe something. www.npr.org/2025/02/27/n...

Will the courts protect the People's work or the President's whims? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We all know which way the wind blows right now ... but we still need educated public servants who can provide daily weather forecasts, severe storm warnings & climate monitoring; which affect fishery management, coastal restoration & marine commerce.

I am now hearing from multiple folks in the past two hours (including some who have personally been fired) that mass firings have now commenced within NOAA--including, yes, at the National Weather Service.

WELCOME! I am a concerned citizen with an older brother/hero, an Army veteran & 20+ year career diplomat at the State Department, who is also concerned. Our primary purpose here is to provide information & resources for hope via self-empowerment & unity in the face of deception, greed & tyranny.

In the interest of our preservation, as we navigate the deep waters of an entrenched system that is no longer pretending to be Diverse, Equitable or Inclusive. We will either rally & swim towards the shores of Democracy ... or get pulled away & drown in Tyranny. www.wired.com/story/the-wi...
