Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re too old to travel. My husband’s mom is traveling with us in Malaysia and we are about to head to remote areas of Indonesia. She just turned 86 the other day. 🤗🌏✌️✈️🗺️ #LifeIsNow #EarthVagabonds

Following Trump’s new Executive Order re: the S.F. Presidio, here’s a shareable link to an unrolled version of my highly sourced thread about the Tech Bros’ plan to build a “Freedom City” in the Presidio. The MSM has yet to connect these dots, & it’s driving me crazy! skywriter.blue/pages/did:pl...

For those new here, I spent last year writing for @newrepublic.com about an extremist tech ideology. It calls for tech elites to control governments and/or create new ones. It seeks to dismantle nations and destroy democracy. Some call it the "Network State," and it may now seem familiar to you 🧵

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

This national security employee thinks his personal Facebook page led to his firing. That’s certainly a way to get people in line. Imagine: DOGE feeds AI your Meta posts/chats, then deletes your social security, hacks your bank, and whatever else they dream up. apnews.com/article/doge...

Costco, which has come out saying it supports DEI, will make no changes to its existing programs, AND pays workers a minimum of $30/hour, is up 15% YTD. Target, which announced it is ending all DEI programs and has a minimum wage of $15-$24/hour, is down over 4%. Keep voting with your wallet.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Trump takes a taxpayer-funded joyride at the rained-out Daytona 500—while gutting the federal workforce. But the rain didn’t stop him from hogging the spotlight. Meanwhile, over on NASCAR’s official Instagram page—he was dragged for filth in replies…

Sarah Kendzior’s warnings were too early for most of us to grasp/accept. I found her posts on old Twitter in early 2020. But as a world traveler, I stopped paying much attention as the Biden admin gave a false sense of leadership. Now, we are all paying attention- hopefully not too late.

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

🚨 Your House representative is now back home through February 23. That’s where we come in. With Trump and Elon Musk pulling off a billionaire coup in real time, this congressional recess is about turning up the heat like never before. Let’s get to work: indivisi.org/muskorus

SDNY's Trump-appointed actings are doing more to defend the rule of law than Kathy Hochul here. Refusing to remove Adams is conceding the state's sovereignty over its own officers, their foundational subordination to state law, can be commandeered by the selective use of federal prosecutions.

The anxiety I feel over what’s happening back home is through the roof. As a privileged white world traveler, I can’t imagine what it’s like to be a Black Person or working-class woman in the USA. I feel nauseous again. Angry—borderline rage— & deepdeep sadness. fox2now.com/news/missour...
