For those of us with financial privilege-we can starve the billionaires and disrupt peacefully. Divest from US stocks and bonds. There are plenty of wonderful investment opportunities in foreign markets. And you’ll have some protection when the $ devalues. Win-win. Your 401k has those options.

The Bay Area weather radar (KMUX) has been out of service for more than 24 hours now. An expensive broken part needs to be replaced and specially ordered, but that may not be possible due to ongoing freeze on government credit card spending, I’ve been told.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Here’s how you can directly financially support Ukraine. u24.gov.ua

Feeling frozen and overwhelmed and hopeless and powerless? Here are a few ways you can take part in the resistance. Even one act adds to the impact. We can do this!!

PubMed has been down for at least 11 hours and we are EXTREMELY concerned. We hope it’s mere incompetence and not an official action. If any of our followers have media events today, please mention it.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Zelensky fact-checked JD Vance in real-time, and repeatedly interrupted Trump’s lies. At the end, Zelensky looked at the press pool and gave a thumbs up with a smile. Zelensky then went on Fox and refused to apologize. Good. Trump is the one who owes an apology—and his resignation—to the world.

Something to bookmark: Potash is essential for modern agriculture. **Eighty percent** of the potash used on American farms comes from mines in *Saskatchewan*. {gift link}

Musk just gave the game away in his interview with Joe Rogan. He said that it's because of Social Security that "people are living longer than expected"—which coupled with a lower U.S. birth rate creates a situation he finds intolerable. He _is_ a Yarvinist—and he's coming for our Social Security.

That reporter really looked at the president of a country being battered by an invading force and asked “but what was he wearing”

BREAKING: WHO BEARS THE MOST RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE OVAL OFFICE ARGUMENT? WITH 79,312 VOTES 👏

The Empire is striking back, but we know how this story unfolds. The Resistance stands firm & grows. Those who were trampled by the powers of darkness joined & fought back. We are #AltGov, and we are here to help. The fight has only just begun.

Please sign and share this so that we can let President Zelenskyy, the people of Ukraine, the US Government, and the world know that we will not abide President Trump, JD Vance, and the Republican Party's partnership with Vladimir Putin. sign.moveon.org/petitions/to...

Hey Rubio, you're an abject coward – and cowards NEVER get to define what courage is or tell us who has courage. You couldn't be more wrong.

The entire town has come out to protest JD Vance and reports indicate he’s been either run out or forced to go into hiding. #3E #EndImpunity #StandWithUkraine

Yup!

Marco Rubio today.

Governor Walz has it right. I miss hearing his plain, common sense talk.

If you’re a leader at any level, This is the time to courageously stand up for dignity, respect, empathy and unity. A global storm is gathering pace. The winds have changed. Align yourself with the right allies on the right side of history.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

I learned a new term today. Rage Donating. It feels awesome. If you want to rage donate to Ukraine one option is united24 u24.gov.ua.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist. He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

Billionaires aren’t gods. They’re parasites. And when enough people stop feeding them, their whole empire crumbles.

Per @chrisdjackson.bsky.social on another platform: “It took me 30 seconds to find at least ten postings from Zelensky directly thanking the United States for their support. There are many more. This is pure BS.”

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

If you are a liberal in deep blue territory, one thing you could try doing right now is figuring out how to replace your Democratic member of Congress next year. With very few exceptions, the typical safe seat Dem is not meeting the moment. Find someone who will and help them.

Elon Musk has siphoned off more money in taxpayer dollars since November than the entire USAID annual budget. He is the real welfare queen. #fireelon

Five former defense secretaries denounced President Trump’s firing last week of the Joint Chiefs chairman and several other senior military officials, saying that the officers were “fired for purely partisan reasons” and urging Congress to hold hearings.

Andrew Lennox served as a Marine for 10 years Upon retiring, he took a job at the VA-where he was trying to stop waste, fraud and abuse But Elon Musk fired him About 30% of federal workers are veterans Which means-to date-DOGE has axed roughly 10,000 vets DOGE Screws Veterans

Massive encroachment by Bezos into The Washington Post’s opinion section - makes clear dissenting views will not be published I still have not felt encroachment on my journalism on the news side, but if Bezos tries interfering with the news side I will be quitting immediately and letting you know

This....

i think we should replace “how are you?” with “hey things are generally bad, how are you personally?” just to make things easier on everyone trying to answer in a way that doesn’t initially seem like you’re either delusional or complicit

BREAKING: A mass resignation rebellion has erupted at DOGE. Over 20 employees, including engineers, data scientists, and product managers, have asserted they refuse to use their expert technical skills to “dismantle critical public services.” “We swore to serve the American people and uphold…

Reporter: Who is the administrator of DOGE? White House secretary: “I’m not going to reveal the name of that person from this podium…”

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

You GUYYYYSSSSSSS The military choir sang Do You Hear the People Sing from Les Mis at the governor's dinner at the white house. Thanks to @beebrookshire.bsky.social for helping me fact check tihs one. As far as I can it's only "officially" been posted on Dan Scavino's FB
