By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

JFC. This "POTUS" is an absolute buffoon.

This thread. Whew. Share it far and wide.

Full disclosure---I haven't watched this yet. But I'm coming back to it later and sharing already because I'm confident that it will be worthwhile.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

When your greatest sycophantic supporter on TV (besides Hannity) is forced to admit that you’ve gone completely off the rails. But this isn’t him talking drivel about Hannibal Lecter & windmills. These words do long term damage to alliances that have stood for decades. bsky.app/profile/atru...

From the always-incredible Laurie Lipton.

It's really something that Republicans want to cut aid to Americans at the same time the Administration is firing tons of Americans.

Fucking YES. I worked for one of these contractors, editing technical reports on their excellent work helping strengthen health systems in low- & middle-income countries. I hope they win.

Proud of my senators helping to spread awareness.

Yes. “People are doing things. You will meet them when YOU start doing things.” Lots of information and resources in this one. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

More steps for action.

A li'l thread of hope.

Very cool tool!!

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

BREAKING: Attorneys General of CA, NY, AZ, CO, CT, DE, HI, IL, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, NV, NC, NJ, NM, OR, RI, VT, WA, WI, and D.C. are suing Trump for his budget freeze. That 0 GOP AGs are joining, despite the fact that this freeze hurts their constituents the most, speaks to how MAGA is 100% a cult.

Imagine if a cyberattack did this. It would be an act of war.

Y'all, watch this.

Goddamn, I love this.

Multiple cities reporting that ICE raids have begun. I'm an immigrant & human rights lawyer. I wrote this on how to handle ICE, the actions each of us can take to protect our immigrant neighbors, & debunking anti-immigrant hate. No paywall. Please share widely. www.qasimrashid.com/p/trumps-mas...

The notion that Americans "overwhelmingly" voted for Trump is also a fantasy: dude barely squeaked past Harris in the popular vote. But whatevs, I guess.

Again, this is obscene in the current moment & would have immediately ended every presidency from Truman to Obama. The GOP is just a cult of personality now, but I don’t understand why the entire national media is treating this as a legitimate topic of discussion. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

I follow this broadcast regularly, and today's episode is particularly excellent: reassuring without sugarcoating, and no BS. If you have 30-ish minutes to spare, watch this & call it self-care today.

It's enraging, honestly.

Terrible.

Respectfully (and I genuinely mean this), I’ve never heard a single regular person ask for “bipartisanship.” That’s inside nonsense. They want things to work. If the other party refuses to work for people, be the ones who will. Fight for people. Make it plain who isn’t, and who THEY’RE for.
