I may be late to the game, but have people seen the Wild, Wild Space documentary? Eye-opening, re, the private rocket companies and the race to own our orbit. He who owns the sky runs the world. It’s not about Musk. Sounds boring but it’s pretty interesting and some scary shit that we need to know.

When the ‘We’re in the middle of a hostile government takeover’ viral ditty is running through your brain every time you wake up, you may have been doom scrolling for too long. 🤦‍♀️

Fox News is telling everyone that their big bonuses in their bank account is from TRUMP. Stop the LIES!

Nothing to see here. What the actual fk? We are russia. www.upi.com/Top_News/US/...

They're coming after the lawyers & I need you to care even if you're not one. Lawyers are the backstop. We challenge illegal conduct in lawsuits, yes, but we also support mass movements by helping keep police misconduct in check & representing detained protesters. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Anyone else get a weird email from social security? Came from ssa.gov. Lots of repeated use of the word Statement, italicized. 🤷‍♀️ I did not click the link.

We have a weekend protest! 💙 Saturday, April 5th 🗽 @50501movement.bsky.social will be protesting in every state Ask your dem reps to attend using www.5calls.org ☎️ More info ⬇️ www.fiftyfifty.one

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

This story is horrific and terrifying. Then, near the end, this: "The reality became clear: Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a business. These facilities are privately owned and run for profit." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

SCOOP: Hooded ICE agents snatched Indian-born Georgetown postdoc Badar Suri from Rosslyn street Monday, per court filing. Like Khalil, linked to pro-Palestinian views & Rubio 'foreign policy' power, lawyer says. Then whisked to Louisiana. w/ @kyledcheney www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

The level of corruption in our government has never been seen before. It’s time to take the country back, y’all. We won’t be silenced. Find an event near you:

Today is Mister Rogers' birthday. Today is Big Bird's birthday. And spring has officially sprung. A beautiful day in the neighborhood, indeed.

Excellent discussion between News, Not Noise Jessica Yellin and lawyer/podcaster Amanda Doyle. open.spotify.com/episode/2qUO...

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

1/3 Trump, above all else, craves respect-something he has probably never gotten throughout his life. He- and his cronies - mistakenly conflate fear with respect, even though it does not result in him being respected. I heard one of them, Homan, maybe, say on Fox, that Zalensky wasn’t showing Trump

Shout it from the rooftops. This is not left vs right, this is a class struggle.

Millions of dollars wasted by Trump for pure theatrics. But the cost cutting….🙄 www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/u...

Republicans have already begun taking away life saving services!! We can’t allow or afford republicans to cut our Medicare any further!! Hands off our Medicare!!

Wouldn’t want to be one of these brave astronauts relying on SpaceX right now. 🤦‍♀️ www.accuweather.com/en/space-new...

Don’t let up, y’all. 5 calls a day with the 5 calls app. You can call after hours and leave messages if you don’t want to speak to someone. They still count your opinion when you do that. They give you the script. Easy peasy, and important to keep up the pressure on our congresspeople!

Grok agrees.

Trump is STILL - RIGHT NOW - tweeting about Tesla. He's spent more time protecting the richest man in the world's profits than he has protecting healthcare, education, jobs, or veterans in the last 6 weeks as president.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com just said: “Elon Musk - he’s not from around here”. That has impact. We should repeat it.

Defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe. If Elon doesn't understand that, maybe he should leave it to those of us who do.

This is really remarkable. A pardon attorney was told that Gibson was a personal friend of the President and she should recommend he be given his access to guns back. She didn't and was immediately fired. They will fire lawyers who won't bless their cronyism. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/u...

@joycevance.bsky.social is right: “The state of our Union is…compromised.” “It’s important that we face the reality of what Trump is trying to do to our country. We cannot afford to look away.” Our resistance makes it harder for him to do permanent damage. Resist. Insist. Persist. Enlist.

Let this sink in.

Democratic House Minority Whip Katherine Clark is asked what she’d like to say to Donald Trump: “Resign.” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The Dow is down nearly 1400 points in two days.

Big crowd at the action on the Amherst town Common today. 💪

I knew this would happen, but it's still surreal to hear another nation's leader talk to us in a televised address the way US presidents have historically spoken to the citizens of countries led by dictators and despots.
