I love this. We need good people to get involved in government so we can take back our country, from districts and municipalities on up. Run for something so you can change something!

If you're represented by a Republican and you care about the post office, how about flyering outside your local post office. Tell folks about the administration's plan to dismantle USPS and tell them to contact their GOP reps. Include local telephone numbers on the fliers. bsky.app/profile/sylv...

The SAVE Act is specifically designed to disenfranchise a ton of American women. Let us recall how many of the techbros now infiltrating the American government, like Peter Thiel, believe that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

Ridiculous. I wonder if he has a case against DOGE, because we need people with standing to sue. Congress has made it ABUNDANTLY clear that they’re not going to do THEIR job, so all we have left is the judiciary, and even that’s shaky. But it’s better than nothing.

Fake Savings, Real Fraud #DOGE Contracts counted 2 or 3 times to inflate numbers. Savings "claimed" on contracts already canceled under Biden. Contractors blindsided—some never had their contracts canceled at all. Errors so massive that an $8M contract was listed as $8 BILLION.

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

The stories keep coming. Hard to see. Eight employees managed the 32,000 acres of wildlife refuges, which draw hundreds of thousands of visitors.Any cuts would be detrimental to the team already juggling permits, manatee rescues,outreach,volunteer coordination and whatever else the day might bring.

Important to remind Congress everyday of facts: 1. POTUS immunity to break law, doesn't make it legal. He is still breaking the law. 2. Immunity is only protects against criminal charges in court system. 3. Impeachment is outside this, it's political, and Congress has duty to uphold Constitution.
