Flood the zone with facts

“If Roosevelt had told Churchill to sue for peace on any terms with Adolf Hitler and to fork over Britain’s coal reserves to the United States in exchange for no American security guarantees, it might have approximated what Trump did to Zelensky.”

CALL TO ACTION: Call your representatives at (202) 224-3121 and ask what criteria they plan to use when “vetting” their constituents.

"69% of Republican voters say Russia is the aggressor and 83% disapprove of Putin" www.wsj.com/opinion/most...

Trump, and by extension the American government, has sold out our ally and is now on the side of Putin’s despotism. This is what 77 million Americans voted for in pulling the lever for him. Trump’s fondness for Putin was no mystery. It’s a stain upon our country and a disgrace.

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

The Department of Ed has a form to snitch on DEI policies in schools. I’d be a shame if we broke it with thousands of responses… enddei.ed.gov

The People's Union USA, a grassroots group, is calling on Americans to join a national boycott by not shopping for 24 hours on Friday.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

“So, Secretary Rubio, can you explain to the American people why you accidentally cancelled Ebola prevention? Because *you* did that, right?”

this week's cover is on point ht: @jamiegangel.bsky.social

BREAKING: AFGE, AFSCME, Coalition to Protect America’s National Parks, Altshuler Berzon LLP, we @sddfund.bsky.social & others just filed a TRO to fight back against Trump’s illegal purge of probationary workers The admin is unlawfully firing federal workers—veterans, nurses, park rangers & more 👇

"Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Dan Sullivan (Alaska), Jim Moran (Kansas) and Steve Daines (Mont.) were all co-sponsors of this law. None responded to requests for comment."

Money talks

I don’t know who the showrunner is on 2025 and I know we’re not that far into the season, but the writing feels really heavy-handed and honestly barely plausible so far

This. Another sad showing from the legacy media.

Every Republican senator shares responsibility for what’s happening. They are complicit in, and share responsibility for, whatever mess Trump’s dangerous nominees cause. But a few GOP senators from purple(ish) states face reelection next year — and we’re going to shine a light on their complicity.

this is not my fight but i look forward to Vance and the other great minds of X explaining how they understand catholicism better than the pope

"The enormity of Defendants’ actions cannot be overstated." Please read this paragraph in court case filed on Monday.⬇️ Details the devastating, immediate and far-reaching, real-world impacts of the #USAID funding freeze. From famine to counternarcotics and counter-terrorism programs, more.

Tim Walz is on fire, man.

Unnoticed, as far as I can tell, amidst the other madness news.bloomberglaw.com/antitrust/bo...

It's mostly obvious. But it's worth saying explicitly and this is an example. Under the heading of "DEI" they're not simply banning some new things from the last decade but also what is simply civil rights enforcement and even (as here) the mere recognition & expression of racial & ethnic identity.

Trump just called for a *permanent* displacement of Gazans from their homeland. If you’re on the left and you didn’t vote for Harris, I don’t wanna hear a DAMN thing about how someone needs to do something.

I am begging every Democratic committee, PAC, and candidate to get control of your damn email program right now and stop sending tone deaf fundraising emails that have nothing to do with what's happening. Stop listening to focus groups from a month ago. Stop the 2 approved talking points.

Dear Canada and Mexico, We’re so, so sorry. — Sane America

AMPLIFYING

More of this. Resigning in protest has little significance anymore. Say no, throw a fit, make waves. Politicize the public in favor of the civil service. We are in danger without it.

🛑CANCELLED—“Research on Women’s Health” funding website of the NIH.

When Trump said he would lower prices he meant stock prices, actually.

Democrats shld make clear to voters that this gives Musk's private sector employees the power to stop checks to any individual recipient in the US (Soc Sec, vets benefits, Medicare) as well as examine their private financial info. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Criminal records of J6 Rioters who were pardoned by Trump includes rape, domestic violence, drug trafficking, and manslaughter. Cool, cool. Maybe would have been smart to research a few of those before pardoning everyone, huh? www.npr.org/2025/01/30/n...

CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) has provided real-time data and analysis about disease outbreaks and emerging health threats without a break every week since 1960. Until today.

The purpose of this is … what??

"Friday’s sentencing hearing, as strange as this may sound, gives me hope more than it gives me pause. It leads me to believe the damage Trump has done & will continue to do can be repaired through individual acts of conscience and courage. Hear me out:" joycevance.substack.com/p/sentenced?...

I just love them

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

The Heritage Foundation is threatening to go after writers and editors of Wikipedia. It’s time to donate some more money if you can. It’s one of the only places that’s safeguarding facts.

Sen. Ruben Gallego’s son told Kamala Harris he’s sorry she didn’t win the election. Here’s her response:

Excellent article.

The solution for the media's current state is not to shuffle between one corporate outlet to another but rather to support independent media outlets who are not beholden to corporate overlords.

For all the “it’ll never happen here” folks. Maybe open your eyes. They wanted to ban 1984 because it’s a blueprint.

Okay, wait. If you have to spend 28-hundred words fact-checking an interview - with *anybody - why publish it?
