Out with @actionnetwork.bsky.social 95% of the cars passing by were with us! Keep your hope. Keep being active anyway you can. Thanks Betty for all your efforts too! This gave me a much needed positive energy boost.

It's funny how that was overlooked, isn't it? The felon wanted to make it look as though Mexico was the only one to make concessions in the deal.

This is vital. As Michael Lewis wrote in The Fifth Risk, about the 1st Trump transition, the greatest fear government scientists and professional staff had was that data would be degraded, destroyed, or simply disappear.

This ⬇️ if the WSJ can do it, why can’t the NYT or WashPost? Or right. Never mind

German rank of threat level of world leaders:

The New York Times headline doesn't mention that Trump's new tariffs are about to raise consumer prices drastically. The WaPo doesn't even put its pitiful tariff story top of page. America's news media is failing the nation. #EconSky

Call or email your senators today. Russ Vought is too dangerous to confirm. Read my latest post if you need background. Please share! open.substack.com/pub/resistan...

Rep. Thomas Massie introduced a bill to get rid of the Department of Education. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Remember how Trump said he "sent the military in and opened up the water flow" in CA? It appears he forced the Army Corps to just drain reservoirs into recently flooded farmland without telling local farmers or leaders. “In 25 years, I’ve never seen anything like this.” sjvwater.org/decision-to-...

I'm struck by the near-total failure of leadership across civil society, in a country that fetishizes the concept. Whole sections of leadership books at every bookstore. Named, endowed "leadership" institutes and curricula across higher ed. Awards and special recognition for "leaders." AND YET

HE’S REPLACING NPR WITH BREITBART !?!?!?

This shit right here! Now he’s stealing and ruining everything! #FuckElon

Musk, Trump & Our Money Trump ousted a top Treasury official for blocking Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team access to the system that pays Social Security, Medicare, tax refunds, and federal contracts. They’re not just coming for government waste—they’re coming for our money.

BREAKING WAPO: Interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin just announced the dismissal of roughly 30 federal prosecutors who worked on Capitol riot cases in the D.C. office over the past four years. Notifications went out at about 5 p.m. on Friday. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

The Nicaraguans who keep Wisconsin’s dairy farms, restaurants and factories working are sending home their most prized possessions, bracing for potential mass deportations. “We don’t have much, but what we do have is important.” New, from @melissa-sanchez.bsky.social

"As Trump creates unprecedented chaos, Democrats have offered little more than platitudes – sparking comparisons to France’s collaborationist second world war regime" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Now that it's pretty clear Musk's running the country, here's a must read by @beccalew.bsky.social

Call Senator Cassidy even if he is not your Senator. He is the chair for the HELP committee and therefore represents all of us! 202 224-3121. Ask for his office and leave a message to vote against confirming RFK, Jr.

President Trump just shut off funding for law enforcement, farmers, schools, veterans, and health care.
 We are working diligently to reverse this, but we are preparing for every outcome to help Minnesotans weather this storm. Minnesota needs answers. We’ll see Trump in court.

Kash Patel is trying to get the chairman to shut up Senator Klobuchar instead of answering her questions. Watch how she handles him. Amy Klobuchar is one helluva powerful woman.

Keep your messaging simple: “Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.” That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.

Wow. The NYT actually said the “without evidence” part.

Please call your senators, either in DC or their local offices. www.senate.gov/senators/sen... Or use @resistbot to email them. #WeAreDemocracy

Kash Patel testified today that he didn’t know who Stew Peters was despite the fact that he was a guest on his show 8 times.

🚨BREAKING: New York appellate court UPHOLDS John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act of New York. This reverses a lower court decision in a case from Newburgh, NY. This is a big victory for the minority voters who brought suit and voting rights in the Empire State. www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-yo...

Fourteen hours before the crash. 👇

BREAKING: Donald Trump puts us all in immediate danger by firing the EPA's clean air and science advisory boards — paving the way for Big Business to get rich by polluting our air and poisoning our lungs.

NEW: Over 300 civil rights groups sent a letter to U.S. senators urging them to vote against Pam Bondi’s confirmation to attorney general, citing her extensive record of opposing civil rights and anti-voting activities.

I missed this entirely: The FAA Administrator criticized Space X’s safety record and threatened fines. Musk demanded he resign. He did. On January 20th. www.thedailybeast.com/faa-chief-mi...

For @us.theguardian.com, I wrote about how Silicon Valley’s right-wing politics go back to the dotcom mania of the 1990s — and how they’re far more central to the tech industry than we’ve previously thought www.theguardian.com/technology/n...
