The scaly-foot snail doesn’t bow to pressure—it thrives under it. Living in toxic hydrothermal vents, it armors itself with iron, turning the very forces that should destroy it into protection. That’s how you resist oppression—adapt, fortify, and endure. 🐌🔥 #MolluscMonday #Resist

Elon Musk's DOGE group has posted what it calls a "wall of receipts" on its website that claims it has saved billions by cutting certain federal contracts. But reports and government documents prove that many of these so-called savings are either misleading or incorrect.

U.S. Attorneys are not the President’s lawyers. They are the United States’ lawyers. You didn’t pledge an oath to a President, you pledged it to the constitution. This statement alone is reason enough to resign.

This speech by Sen. Angus King of Maine is well worth listening to. I hope at least some of the Republicans listening really heard what he had to say. It’s not too late to stand up for democracy! @hcrichardson.bsky.social Thank you for sharing this in your Substack today. youtu.be/g2ptQFOi9Pg?...
