I believe!

Peak insanity

Not watching the Super Bowl, but apparently, Fox had a cheer track for Trump—while in other countries, the crowd was heard booing. If true, that’s quite the editorial choice. Reality distortion in real time.

Sunsets in Iowa just hit a bit different #iowa #sunset #country

Murphy: "I continue to get reports from Connecticut that agencies there, like Head Start programs and community health centers, are actually not receiving the funding they are due. So I think there's a big question as to whether the administration actually is implementing the court order."

NEWS: Another massive anti-ICE protest breaks out, this time in New York, TikTok's fate is now in the hands of JD Vance, and the Trump Administration just cut millions in biomedical research funding. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Thank you!! A federal judge in New York has granted a temporary restraining order in favor of the states suing over DOGE.

Elon Musk’s staffers are still attempting to manipulate the Treasury payment system to halt the flow of funds following their recent losses. Reminder: U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has restricted DOGE’s read-only access. No one is above the law.

Musk’s staffers are heading to the Pentagon, while Trump continues his attempted purge of Washington. He recently announced on Truth Social that he is appointing himself as head of the Kennedy Center and plans to remove multiple members from its board of trustees.

Farmers cheering for USAID cuts might want to check their receipts—$2B in sales comes from those programs every year. Maybe don’t cheer so hard while cutting off your own supply line.

Amid today’s massive NIH cuts to universities, please know that my research colleagues: - Develop new cancer treatments for kids - Are curing sickle cell disease - Build new tech to help premature babies survive - Prevent teens from dying of drug overdose - And more #NIH #MedSky #research #science

White Christofascism is formally US state religion now, in violation of the First Amendment, because the white nationalist broligarchy and their kakistocracy of lemmings want it. Next it'll be Praise Be as mandatory greeting.

When Trump’s gone. When we rebuild. Every new rule must pass the ‘Could Trump Break This?’ test. If a psychotic toddler with a machete could wreck it, it’s not strong enough. No more loopholes, no more chaos—just a democracy that actually works. Let’s fix everything for good.

Reminder: this is completely lawless

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.

House Democrats made an unsuccessful attempt to subpoena billionaire Elon Musk to testify about his efforts to radically reshape the federal government, only to be blocked by Republicans.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

The DOGE kids showing up at Treasury:

USAID helped bring an end to apartheid in South Africa. Now, an unelected billionaire from South Africa is staging an unconstitutional coup to shut it down.

This is Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll. Last Friday he refused Justice Department order to identify & assist in firing all agents involved in Jan. 6 riot cases, He is said to have pushed back forcefully. Thank you Brian Driscoll!🇺🇸

Thank you ACLU, NYT, and AOC! ✊

Brisbane, Australia.

Our coalition is a peaceful resistance—a group of tree-huggers dedicated to keeping Americans informed.

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."

A witch hunt has begun at the FBI. Employees are required to provide information by Tuesday and are being encouraged to report on their coworkers. The FBI questionnaire asks agents about their roles in various cases, including whether they made arrests or appeared in court, among other details.

Broad daylight heist

In all the chaos of the world, here’s little Puchi hiding in the tall grass #dog #cute #puppers

“If you don’t advertise on my failing platform, I’ll just force you to pay anyway.” X really out here making up new levels of shady. Who’s still on that mess? Never Meta, never X. We’ve gotta stop feeding Zuck and Elon our views and dollars. #Bluesky #DecentralizeTheWeb

Sean Duffy on Fox News Sunday suggests that "changing names from 'cockpit' to flightdeck'" undermined safety at the FAA

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

Among the questions I'd never imagined asking, I can now add: "How best can I help Canada and Mexico in the trade war?"

Bernie Sanders: "We are living in an unprecedented moment in American history. We are looking at a rapid growth of oligarchy. We are looking at a rapid growth of authoritarianism. And I fear we're looking at a rapid growth of kleptocracy as well."

Resist! Get involved in these multiple ways. Show up! www.mobilize.us/indivisible/

Very much worth a watch if you have not yet seen the PM’s brief and moving speech to Americans and Canadians. “From the beaches of Normandy …to the streets of Kandahar, we have fought and died alongside you during your darkest hours. We're always there, standing with you."

Trump on USAID: "It's been run by a bunch of radical lunatics, and we're getting them out."

Sign on Roxborough - Parlatuvier Rd, Tobago that I related to a lot. Picture taken July 2024.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

On climate, did you know that only 11% of people in the US (and even smaller percentages in Canada, the UK, Australia and beyond) are dismissive? Yet because their voices are so loud and persistent, people often think they’re 50%. This is why I advocate so strongly for using YOUR voice!
