Trump and Elon have been labeling any judge who upholds the law and the Constitution as an activist and arguing that they should be impeached. The Chief Justice of the United States rejected their calls to impeach federal judges who have aggressively pushed back on the administration’s initiatives.

An intriguing portrait believed by some to be of England’s ill-fated queen, Lady Jane Grey, could be the only one painted during her lifetime, research suggests — but not everyone is convinced.

FYI: "Community Care" = "Privatization"

Moore: ‘I don’t think it’s my job to tell the Democratic Party how to find itself’

The interview @petebuttigieg.bsky.social did last night was better than this call. The live stream from @aoc.bsky.social was WAY more informative, honest and impactful. The establishment @democrats.org actually hurt their brand and credibility with this call.

What did I learn from that @democrats.org call? That I won’t be showing up for these unless there are actual powerful voices & thought leaders with actionable ideas on the agenda. Like @aoc.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @petebuttigieg.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov

Eeehhh… this is coming across very stilted… you are all reading from written or pre done remarks and it does not feel authentic. I thought this was going to be about a call to action and path to activate. We don’t need to be read to about all the issues and movements… we know this stuff already.

🚨 ATTN #MD02 job seekers: Baltimore County Government is hosting a Pop-Up Career Fair TOMORROW from 10 AM–2 PM! HR staff from 15 departments will be onsite to discuss job openings, walk attendees through the application process, and share resources.

Trump dwelled tonight on a debunked idea: that millions of deceased Americans could be getting Social Security payments. According to a 2023 Social Security inspector general report, only *44,000* people age 100 or older in the system were getting payments.

When calling @repjohnnyo.bsky.social I rarely get a voicemail. Often I get a staffer who really listens. This week while almost crying about what is happening at the VA and its impact on people like my dad they offered to put me on a direct reply list.

Rather than violate their oath or comply with Musk’s illegal requests, 21 civil service employees resigned today from Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (formerly the United States Digital Service), stating they would not use their technical expertise to dismantle critical public services.

UPDATE: The charges against her have been dropped “in the interest of justice” (she bit one of the brownshirts that assaulted her) and the private security firm has lost their license to operate. I hope she sues them into oblivion.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid. So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

President Trump's purge at the Pentagon is a major step toward creating an officer corps personally and absolutely loyal to him, @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. theatln.tc/V6pB4qcF

🚨Trump’s decision to shut down USAID has frozen critical work to deliver vital assistance around the globe, and put China in the driver’s seat. We’re at USAID HQ fighting back against Trump’s outrageous assault on dedicated USAID workers. Tune in now:

Rock and roll was created by a Black woman — Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Known as the Godmother of Rock and Roll, Sister Rosetta Tharpe was a singer, songwriter, and guitarist who served as inspiration for artists like Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash. We honor her as we still feel her influence today.

Just the annoying person in every meeting asking about the climate impact of every new tool that has AI baked into it.. 👀 Yes, I can see how it helps (SOMEtimes), but at what cost??

Life is so weird. Democracy is crumbling around me so I am anxious as all get out… But I’m also like… let me add some bone broth to this pasta water to sneak some nutrients into my toddlers’ mac and cheese, because that’s a top priority that I can control.

You may show a know-your-rights card to the ICE officer that explains that you will remain silent and wish to speak to an attorney. Per @aila.org

Good morning from @altyellonatpark.org

Important context for the NASA anti-DEI email that is circulating (and perhaps other agency emails).

Glad so many people are upset that the WH removed the Constitution page, but that’s not the only source for the document. For anyone looking to revisit the information it can also be seen here:

This was the same strategy from 2017, a landslide of horrible news in an effort to overwhelm & distract. Don’t be distracted by the flashy things. Focus on the things they don’t want you to be looking at closely. Also… we don’t need to know everything he does… it’s okay to not be overly informed.
