If you've never been part of a world that demands women submission this will seem alarmist to you. Those who have, will recognize the systematic devaluing, disempowering, sidelining, abuse documented here. Each piece alone is sickening, together it's deeply alarming www.salon.com/2025/02/26/a...

Imagine if the media pointed out there was already a Government Accountability Office whose job it is to go after actual waste and fraud, not just things Elon doesn’t like, and found $70 Billion in savings last year and $2 Trillion in waste since 2003. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governm...

The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering it, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.

🇫🇮🇺🇦 Finnish Prime Minister has called for an urgent EU summit on Ukraine to develop a common position on Europe's role in the negotiations. 🇪🇺 "Only the EU can make decisions on security, Ukraine's membership in the EU or its restoration. For this, there must be a place at the negotiating table."

Having worked at the Pentagon on climate change, most of the programming is intended to make US bases resilient to climate impacts. Many of them are quite vulnerable! The combatant commands' work on climate was about how to prepare for the destabilizing impacts of climate in their regions.

I wrote this NASA page about wildfires and climate change, and I'm so excited it's finally live. It's a tireless effort to get big pages published at NASA - as it should be! How long will it remain up? Who knows. Check it out while you still can. 🧪 #climatesky science.nasa.gov/wildfires-an...

“As a special government employee, Musk is covered by a . . .statute that prohibits govt employees from participating in matters that would affect their financial interests.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is now referring to Elon Musk as an “unelected oligarch” and encouraging people to call their elected representatives to ask them what they plan on doing about it.

MAGA: No, Biden can't wipe away student loans. That's hella illegal unless Congress acts. Also MAGA: If Trump declares an entire federal agency "lunatics" he can do away with it and all the funding it distributes without bothering to inform Congress, let alone requiring any action.

Neither Donald Trump nor Elon Musk has the authority to dissolve USAID. Shutting it down is dangerous and must be stopped. Not only will this deteriorate U.S. leadership globally, it makes it much more likely that future disease outbreaks will reach our shores.

@fetterman.senate.gov how could you? As a PA elected leader, I expect you to stand against the rape and pillage of our government. We did not vote for Elon and he has no right or authority to take over departments.

"DOGE does not have power over established government agencies, and Musk has no role in government. It does not matter that he is an ally of the President. Musk is a private citizen taking control of established government offices. That is not efficiency; that is a coup."

This should be 25th amendment level conduct. The president ordered water to be released from a random dam in California nowhere near the wildfires and then claimed it would help. That’s literally Mad King behavior.

Dear California farmers and Congressional representatives: Trump has just literally thrown millions of gallons of #water away that farmers were counting on this summer, purely to brag that he could. That #cawater cannot be captured or used now by anyone. www.latimes.com/environment/...

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.
