2 PhD students recently met at a conference & Trump's slashing of research & science bound them With only 3 other scientists they started a movement that's growing around the country On March 7 in Washington DC, and state capitals, "Stand Up for Science" will take place All details below & bravo!

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

DOGE’s expenses have risen above 40 million, with weekly costs now exceeding 10 million. We will release an updated DOGE staff list soon.

Respect our veterans who served. 💙 💜

DOGE technologists Edward Coristine—the 19-year-old known online as “Big Balls”—and Kyle Schutt are now listed as staff at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

The United States appears to be in violation of the Budapest Memorandum which disarmed Ukraine of nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees. The agreement signed by the US in 1994 specifically prohibits economic coercion against Ukraine.

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

Why aren’t you here? Want to show the administration how you feel? Show up. Now. Lincoln Memorial. Please.

PROTESTING SAFELY

Musk was angry at OpenAI, so he said AI would destroy humanity. Then he founded xAI and sued OpenAI—and said AI might not be so bad. Now he wants his AI to take over DC, so he’s killing all AI safety. The man is knowingly betraying his _species_. He’ll certainly have no problem betraying America.

A reminder to the men and women of our nations armed forces: You have a legal obligation to disobey blatantly unlawful commands. If you need verification, the legal department on any base can answer your questions about that, free of charge. Always remember your oath, and follow the law.

For the first weeks, Americans seemed frozen, expecting institutions to do something. Americans were used to “checks and balances” and “guardrails” working. That didn’t happen. People realized that they had to take matters into their own hands. 👇

🚨BREAKING: @democracyforward.org sues on behalf of unions, retirees to block access to personal and sensitive data at SSA. This case comes after SSA commissioner stepped down due to concerns about DOGE accessing data. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

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.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

Strong statement by retired Rear Admiral Mike Smith, President of NSL4A: "National Security Leaders for America strongly condemns the removal of senior military officers without just cause. ... Removing experienced leaders with meritorious records weakens the force and emboldens America’s enemies."

One very subtle symptom of bird flu I noticed was Heihei getting these puffy lower eyelids. First two pictures are from his puffiest day, last is from today.

People fuck up, but Wild Coast Raw is literally killing cats and declining to take ANY responsibility for it. My COMPLETELY INDOOR cats ate batch 22660. They are still acting like the bird flu results were fake. My stud who does not eat raw was negative. This WILL kill cats. This is evil.

Bird flu is deadly to cats. @kikidoodle.bsky.social has lost two, & came very close to losing two more. I wrote about how you can protect your kitties, which helps protect everyone. ko-fi.com/post/Bird-Fl...

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...

We aren’t all farmers…

Ohh....the powers that be don't want the federal workers to talk to the media....TFG, Musk ETC Sent out a mass email saying Do Not Talk To Media .......oh snap! They don't want the public knowing what they're doing. KEEP TALKING. MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD. IT'S WORKING. www.reddit.com/r/fednews/s/...

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

Get it!
