Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats. One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

Russia also messes with its economic data. apnews.com/article/trum...

We are already occupied. Putin is calling the shots.

Finally I am screaming for GREAT REASONS 😭🎁 Congrats @saralippmann.bsky.social ✨️🎉

MAGA is big mad that Eminem led a “f*ck Trump” chant at his concert. 🍿

Each one of us needs to be working these muscles of public protest, of resistance. If you haven't already, this is your sign.

‘We’re losing decades of our life to this illness’: long Covid patients on the fear of being forgotten

It should be noted that the strength of a liberal democracy is defined by how it protects the rights of its minorities, especially its most marginalized.

Rep. Tom Suozzi gets huge applause and a standing ovation after calling out Trump’s ambush of President Zelenskyy at the White House. Suozzi is a Democrat who won a special election in a red district—more of this, please! Every single Dem should be holding town halls across the country RIGHT NOW.

Mass firings, shutting down critical services, blowing up our alliances, crashing the markets, encouraging inflation... These aren't the actions of a political party aspiring to get reelected. These are the actions of an authoritarian regime that does not intend to honor elections ever again.

"What I mean is that there was a sort of satisfaction in the quiet clicking into place of the spreadsheets and fitting and filling the squares" Powerful use of the speculative (although feeling less speculative by the day) from @ladiwoods.bsky.social in @trampset.bsky.social

18F, a team in the General Services Administration, was tailor-made for government efficiency and technology, writes @matteowong.bsky.social. Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency wiped it out.

Much bigger protests this weekend than last, which were bigger than the week before. This and the town halls and all the other protests and acts of defiance singular or collective should not be dismissed or ignored. By either party or the media.

Times Square, NYC

let me tell you, chanting "trans rights are human rights!" with hundreds of other queer folks and allies did my heart good. highly recommend

Incredible words from our amazing DFA's who were unjustly fired weeks ago ⬇️ Thank you, @teenvogue.com for amplifying our message - #solidarity to all fired feds ✊

We took up almost a block! Tesla takedown happening in Boston every weekend. Dancing and chanting. Great band. Highly recommend- we need to make Tesla a totally toxic brand #teslatakedown

We invited Elon Musk to defend himself in front of the American people. He was too much of a coward to show up.

Coming up on March 12, at I'll be reading alongside brilliant, speculative-literary author Allegra Hyde at @forbeslibrary.bsky.social in Northampton MA! If you're in the Pioneer Valley area, I hope you join us! And if not, the event will be livestreamed on Youtube. (Links in the comments!)

Chief Justice Roberts setting a noon Friday deadline for responses in the foreign aid funding case implied that *he,* at least, was hoping to get a ruling out yesterday. That there isn’t one yet suggests the Court is debating what to do, which is more ominous than a quick denial—but not conclusive.

Tesla dealerships are prime locations for bold, high-visibility protests against the Trump-Musk coup. These events are already happening nationwide, with more planned each day: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Shout out to Indivisible Mad River Valley and folks from all over Vermont who showed up to tell JD Vance that Nazis aren’t welcome 👇👇👇

Like, I know so many editors and journalists and they’re so careful and thoughtful about their work. I’ve learned so much from them about using a public platform responsibly. And the NYT just straight up decided to make a power graph of which minorities and war victims are most important to them.

An excellent novel by a celebrated Ukranian author. #Booksky

Please stop using Substack. It is funding the most vile shit (white nationalism, transphobia, homophobia, misogyny, just absolutely vile) and they do not give a fuck.

Vermont showed up to sour Vance’s ski vacay! ❤️ Photos by a friend

I guess the big struggle with the news lately is that a lot of people in legacy media still seem to be convinced that they can remain unbiased towards cruelty, when at a certain point that just means you’re biased towards cruelty

Please ALT text your images so I can reskeet them. Thank you.

Craig Unger, an American journalist and writer who has written two books on Trump’s connections to Russia, says he is "absolutely certain" that the U.S. president is a Russian asset. The Kyiv Independent sat down with Unger to hear what makes him so certain.

📢🎙️ Power to the People: We support Ukraine, not Donald Trump Will you join us in sending a letter of support for President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian leaders and soldiers, and the resilient people of Ukraine? www.newsletter.peoplepowerunited.org/p/power-to-t...

“I’ve long wished for the four former presidents & other ex-VIPs from the government, the military and diplomacy to stand together and speak out against the anticonstitutional Trump. Yet they’ve remained mostly mute…” @jackiecalmes.bsky.social: our “break glass”moment: www.yahoo.com/news/calmes-...

The EEOC filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk's company, Tesla, alleging it allowed "severe racial harassment" of Black employees including “frequent direct verbal racial attacks” and the “constant presence of racist graffiti evocative of lynchings.” Every story about these cuts should say that.

‘Internment’ tells the dystopian story of a Muslim American teen fighting for justice. Author @samiraahmed.bsky.social calls banning stories like hers “identity erasure” & dissuades young activists who can drive real change. She joins me at 11a ET for the latest #VelshiBannedBookClub. #Velshi

seriously though why DON’T the biggest accounts use alt text?

Who needs a pee tape! Remember Helsinki? And the day when he brought the Russians into the Oval alone & insisted on no notes? You don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist to understand how dark all of this is, how venal & hollow & easy to play he is

Every leader at every level of the US needs to speak up right now like this.
