Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

“Operation Whirlwind” What’s Happening Now? In 2025, Operation Whirlwind was launched under Interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin to investigate alleged threats against employees of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

My hot take is that we shouldn’t be calling them oligarchs. Yes, it’s accurate, but it’s also not a word too many use. They’re corrupt billionaires stealing from the working class. That’s what we should say.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

It is terrible that the wealthiest man on the planet is also the least altruistic.

Apologies to my blue friends in AL but I kinda don't feel bad about this. They want government spending cut, so it's cut. "But I didn't know the lions would eat MY face!" 🙄

Today I'm at the point where I just accept we're screwed. It fluctuates. I may feel like fighting tomorrow. I mentioned to a friend "entitlements" are on the chopping block today. They said "oh seniors will fight that." I burst out laughing and said "HOW? HOW? HOW?" Seriously. How.

Read and share. The doc continues in the first comment. This is horrible and probably not the only story like this #USAID #DOGE

He made my whole day. We need our representatives to fight like this for us and for our country!!

When horrendous news comes at us as fast as it has in the last few weeks, the only way to process it is to come together and discuss what’s happening (and more importantly, talk about how we fight back). Join @leahgreenberg.bsky.social and @ezralevin.bsky.social tomorrow for their weekly discussion.

The American Medical Association has joined Bluesky to help keep us all informed on public health and infectious diseases like H5N1, Covid and TB.🥳 Go give 'em a follow.👇 @amermedicalassn.bsky.social

According to DOGE... $65 for grandma: waste $8 million for the richest man in the world: not waste
