ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

Over my dead body.

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

Congrats to @bsky.app and all the users and team that make it unique ! 32m users is real !

North America’s Largest Solar Plant Is Taking Shape. Yep, in Canada.: This story was originally published by the Canada’s National Observer and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. North America’s largest urban solar power park is set to take shape in Medicine Hat,…

Amen to that.

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.

The 'find out' phase is here.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

First apricot flower!

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

“Ketamine can cause difficulty speaking, confusion, and slurred speech, particularly at lower sub-anesthetic doses. These effects are often accompanied by a sense of euphoria and disorientation.” youtu.be/vyTDbqNtZBo?...

Treason is an Impeachable offense! Stop fucking around and do your damn jobs! 😡

Spineless cowards.

📌NYT Headline: “Trump flips the script on Russia, blames Zelenskyy” Sorry, but what the fuck are we supposed to do with crap like this? 📌”Trump betrays Zelenskyy, surrenders to Russia” There, fixed it.

MAGA had a huge problem with Kamala’s laugh but is totally fine with Trump saying he is a king and then posting a picture of him in a crown. That basically sums up the current state of the Republican Party.

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

Russian asset has opinion that mirrors Putin’s.

The Senate voted 51-49 Thursday to confirm election denier Kash Patel to be the director of the FBI. During a confirmation hearing, Patel repeatedly refused to say that President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Laid-off IRS employee said he had voted for Trump: "I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason." www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/p...

More of this. The fuck are you doing promoting a book when the country is falling apart?

Scoop: Two of John Fetterman's longest-serving staffers are quitting Comms director Charlie Hills + legislative director Tré Easton head for the exits as the senator carves his own lane w/ Trump. Their departures follow a string of exits in the past year www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

“We are currently fighting with the EPA and the DOJ over a nasty stunt they pulled. There’s an account of IRA money being held by Citibank as the fiscal agent for all these different programs…..they tried to set up a fake grand jury investigation.” - RI Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse
