I, on the other hand, would prefer members of Congress to bellyache quite a bit about what they believe to be unconstitutional exercises of presidential power vis-a-vis the execution of Congress's spending decisions. www.notus.org/congress/tru...

Meta is renewing its threats against employees, telling them today that they will hunt for leakers and tolerate zero leaks. Want to know how that is going? Three Meta employees who I’ve never spoken to before just cold messaged/emailed me offering me to be sources.

Trump went from the world’s foremost expert on water management and forest fires to an aviation and crash reconstruction expert, all in one week. He’s amazing!

The HHS nominee is a dangerous science-denying conspiracy nut. The FBI nominee pleaded the 5th to his involvement in criminal conspiracies and has fund raised for violent insurrectionists. The DNI nominee is a Russian asset. ...and here we are, doubtful if anything can be done to stop them.

they are stealing data from the american people and depriving us of the transparency that we are entitled to by law. none of this is legal and not a single federal employee has any reason to comply.

So apparently it is incredibly unsafe to fly on an airplane in America now because they have gutted just about everything to make sure people are safe while flying. That should put a lot of airlines out of business. .

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I am sad that the work I did on www.mediamanipulation.org has been locked down by my former employer All kinds of media manipulation happening that needs to be tracked and debunked. Counter-speech depends on it Manipulation of fact-checks is a strategy I’ve only seen in wartime. #cybercivildefense

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
