Make it make sense! 🤦🏻‍♀️

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.

Infuriating! 😡 Don’t Cut My Medicaid! The majority of my son’s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! 🤬 And we’re not alone!

Why just slang? Feels like an appropriate definition.

“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).

You stay classy, San Diego.

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

Literacy is activism. Reading is a political act. Books are tools for liberation.

It feels like people are waking up

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

Let me know if you agree Trump deserves to be called out! 💙

There's a usefulness to caring what people think about you—an extremely limited, penny-sized, often-self-cannibalizing stock of utility. Beyond that modicum of caring, any concern you have for what people think of you holds you back from being successful and achieving your goals. What I've learned.

The Cybertruck being an unreliable mechanical nightmare is pretty on the nose for Nazi shit.

this is from a new report on a “third way” on DEI and it is unbelievably naive, which in my view is emblematic of the author, rich kahlenberg, whose willingness to extend good faith to obvious bad faith actors borders on gullibility www.progressivepolicy.org/a-way-out-of...

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

@doglove3.bsky.social where's the Senate. Are they hiding under their chairs again for their dear leader?. Mfkrs.

The Supreme Court, in its first ruling on President Trump’s use of executive power during his second term, decided that he cannot, for now, dismiss the government lawyer leading the watchdog agency responsible for protecting whistle-blowers.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

The first entry @NYTimes checks on DOGE's "receipts" is off by $8bn, NYT finds, accounting for half the alleged savings. DOGE noticed the issue, NYT suggests, but hid it. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

Judge Amir Ali has asked Trump Adm to respond by 1pm tomorrow (2/20) to a contempt motion alleging noncompliance with his 2/13 TRO ordering USAID to fund aid contracts. Defs revealed today that, in their view, virtually every contract falls into various loopholes in the TRO.

Plaintiff unions seek discovery in a DOGE case. They want to ask, among other things, a fair question: Who's running it? storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... /1

Hey, Acting US Atty Ed Martin, Jr.: This account is threatening a former govt employee for simply having done his job. Please refer to Operation Whirlwind!

Over at @lawfare.bsky.social, I offer a high level primer on a recent executive order instructing agencies to engage in reductions in force and the procedures agencies follow when pursuing a reduction in force. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/a-pr...

Judge Ali does *not* hold Trump Adm in contempt but *does* order it to "immediately cease" its "blanket suspension" of USAID's funding contracts. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Seems like the new pardon policy, described below by @kyledcheney.bsky.social, should also help Jeremy Brown, whose weapons conviction are on appeal. When FBI arrested him for J6 crimes, they found 2 live grenades & 2 illegal short-barrel rifles in his possession. bsky.app/profile/kyle...
