“I feel like I should look up if it’s true or not before I start spreading it.” Teen Vogue spoke with a dozen educators who say that the question of how to know whether something online can be trusted has made its way into their classrooms in recent years. Read more ⤵️

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

Extortion, pure and simple.

One of the big questions with coups is who the military sides with. It's a big question now. Does the firing of a whole lot of leadership make the military now more malleable, or does it anger and alienate a lot of people down the chain of command? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

EXACTLY what we need

WTF? First he gets rid of the very first female Coast Guard, Commandant. Now this. He is making us weaker day by day military.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

The j6 pardons seem to be going well. Guess this one won’t make it to the Kennedy Center j6 band jam??

Pentagon to fire 5,400 civilian employees in ‘initial’ purge www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

The plot THICKENS!!!

Among those Trump and Musk fired at the FAA: - Lawyers who help keep drunk or reckless pilots out of the skies - Air traffic control support staff - Employees who track potential new flying hazards like cranes - Staffers who medically clear pilots to fly www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The decision will be made official by a document from Acting Director and Musk lackey Leland Dudek. As of last week, Dudek worked in the department he just axed.

American citizens doing more than our elected officials to stop a coup. Crazy times.

New and devastating reporting from my colleagues showing just how dangerous it has become to be pregnant and in Texas after the state banned abortion. Please read and share: www.propublica.org/article/texa...

Fuuuuccckkk YES! Finally, media making NOISE!

THR: “.. Paramount now signaling that it’s prepared to go on the offensive .. leveraging the threat of uncovering information about Trump’s financials, including with respect to his social media company .. and the cryptocurrency he launched, in discovery.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

This has been my point for weeks about what Musk is after. Consolidated data from the biggest mine of information in the world. He’s so thirsty for data he’d get his hands on the nuclear codes if he could. Could he? www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

I’ve been warning that the Tech Bros want the S.F. Presidio for a “freedom city”. Now this. 👇 1/

someone has added a banner to the FCC Complaints page so that anyone going to file a complaint first gets asked if they want to join in a complaint re: “investigating news distortion at 60 Minutes” consumercomplaints.fcc.gov

Mark my words—He is going to try to shut down mail-in voting. When he does, we will sue and we will win. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

This will be deeply, deeply destructive and destabilizing.

OMG. These comments. 😂 I have been working on dark humor for a character I'm writing, and it's not easy for me. I just found my treasure chest of examples!

A reminder, from February 25th, 2022:

Two DOGE workers are now at CISA (DHS Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) I've confirmed. Edward Coristine, the 19-yr-old known as Big Balls, and Kyle Schutt, a 37-yr-old software engineer. Marisa Kabas (bsky.app/profile/mari...) was first to report about Coristine. My piece for Wired

NEW, from @telliotter.bsky.social and me: SpaceX engineers have already been onboarded at FAA - an agency that directly regulates them www.wired.com/story/faa-do...

Pro-Tip, when the Germans start breaking down in tears you’re in deep trouble. Trump must be stopped. That is the assigment, USA. We owe it to our European allies, the world at large and ourselves. From NYT👇

🚨Elon Musk FIRED staff at FDA who were reviewing HIS Neuralink products—the corruption is blatant and outright. Trump & Musk’s arbitrary mass firings across FDA will severely undermine its work to keep Americans & our food supply safe & combat new threats, including bird flu.
