🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

“Many do not have transportation or they are homebound or in the hospital and don’t have access or simply don’t know how to use the internet... What happens to them? What happens to the person who can’t do it online and now their local office has closed?” www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Federal marshals forced entry into the US African Development Foundation and escorted Musk staffers inside, after agency employees resisted their entry. Once inside, they changed the federal agency’s locks. Musk staffers were seen plugging in an external hard drive and going through everything.

“My take on what we need to do right now is this: stay informed about what’s happening nationally, and get engaged locally.” joycevance.substack.com/p/the-courts...

Russia’s military used a drone with a high-explosive warhead to hit the former Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine overnight, damaging the protective shelter that prevents radiation leaks, President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine said.

Pop quiz: People are saying the kid says “you’re not the president you need to go away” — do y’all hear it too?

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Elon Musk now has access to your Social Security number. The world’s richest man has gained access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States.

Saddened by yet another tragic school shooting in our country.
