"A Feb. 14 memo directed... embassies and consulates to prioritize the termination of contracts with six news organizations in particular: the Economist, the New York Times, Politico, Bloomberg News, the Associated Press and Reuters." It'd Bezos odd if WaPo was spared for a compliant billionaire.

The flood of Executive Orders from the White House is overwhelming, outpacing the lawsuits that call many of these acts illegal. Think: Is this by design? Chaos-creating demoralizes people and clouds opposition. Keep clear-headed: Lies don’t justify breaking the law! #TruthBrigade

When service workers try to organize and bargain for a fair wage or better working conditions, people like Bailey dismiss the work as menial and unskilled. But when it's an opportunity to pursue a nonsense culture war against "woke," suddenly some people aren't good enough for these jobs.

We are a nation of immigrants, proud of our ancestry. Yet the White House demonizes migrants, despite their vital role in our economy. Who benefits from fueling hate and fear? Lies don’t justify terrorizing innocent people! #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/bSmaoT3G

Probationary employees with less than 1 year of service at CFPB have received termination notices, but they are so hastily done that they don't have people's names, job titles, or other information. They literally say "I am removing you from your position of [JobTitle]... effective [EffectiveDate]"

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

Holy shit. “USAID’s inspector general was investigating a public-private partnership involving Musk’s company just before Musk shut the agency down. Key USAID web pages mentioning Musk’s company have suddenly vanished from the agency’s website.” Follow the money.

It is extremely difficult to do my private sector job when the government teams and resources that I rely on to get my job done get taken down, apparently to be scrubbed, for no discernable reason. appliedsciences.nasa.gov/about/ "...we are reviewing content prior to re-publishing."

A bit of unsolicited advice: sometimes people feel drawn to apply their efforts in the spaces they are most activated. I encourage folks to consider focusing their actions on the spaces you are most skilled, most grounded, most intact.

The folks at Wired (@wired.com) have been responsible for some of the most important journalism pertaining to Elon Musk, more so than almost any other media outlet. That streak continues with this piece below. They deserve our support. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
