The gospel according to #BrennanLeeMulligan, (no specifics to avoid spoilers) From Dimension 20 "In the same way your heart feels and your mind thinks, you--mortal beings--are the instrument by which the universe cares. If you choose to care, then the universe cares. If you don't, then it doesn't."

Choose 20 female authors whose work you admire. One author per day for 20 days, in no particular order. Poet Mary Oliver.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump killed these people

There are 2 underlying causes as to why oppression exists that we must fully uncover & be willing to deconstruct in order for this Revolution to create change… 1. America is a country profiting & benefiting from a small group being “on top” while stepping on the backs of the rest of us.

I just saw Plan B emergency contraceptive "on sale" for $35 at Target. IT IS AVAILABLE FOR $6 AT COSTCO, no membership required. PLEASE REPOST.

#Booksky Choose 20 female authors whose work you admire. One author per day for 20 days, in no particular order. 2/20 Marilynne Robinson: *Gilead,* *Lila,* and *Home* tell an overlapping story of a couple of families in a small community from three different points of view.

#BookSky Choose 20 female authors whose work you admire. One author per day for 20 days, in no particular order. 1/20 Harper Collins. Both books, and the changes made to the original to turn it into *Mockingbird* were wild.

This may be locking the barn after the horse has been stolen, but at least it's something. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

From Reuters: "The Trump administration removed two top security officials at the U.S. Agency for International Development...after they tried to stop DOGE representatives from gaining access to secure parts of the building. [They] were confronted by members of the U.S. Marshals Service."

I still don't get how six 20-year-olds walk into government agencies and say, "We want complete access to all your computers. Our billionaire boss says we can," and are not immediately thrown out on their asses by security. Explain it to me like I'm 5.

We’re rallying at the Treasury building with @moveon.org and thousands of our friends. Follow along live: www.youtube.com/live/sZXyEUF...

Push back.

I know they don't want to pay for functional government services, but when they can't even manage voicemail that feels intentional.

What's up with the U.S. Senate's voice mail? I called my senators this morning. The voice mail was slow and glitchy and hung up after its announcement, not even telling me the mailbox was full. In both offices.

Reposting to save for myself.

IF YOU KNOW ANY FEDERAL EMPLOYEES point them towards this class action suit being put together by @marklemley.bsky.social. Musk’s data grab of SSNs, disability (HIPAA) and other federal current and retired employee data violates federal law. #federal #employees #SSN #HIPAA #DOGE

Two screenshots from the CDC website. One shows the link, "CDC Contraceptive Guidance for Health Care Providers." The other shows what I got when I clicked the link: "The page you're looking for was not found."

CDC pages on clinical guidelines for HIV treatment and *contraception* are down on Saturday. I saw this on Facebook and decided to check. Searches get a response of "Page not found."

#booksky #blackbooksky Just re-read *Bud, Not Buddy* by Christopher Paul Curtis. Great stuff.
