TIL… I don’t think Amazon helped, though. Meanwhile, a B needs more places to find Aida and her local needle shop closed last year. Recs? #crossstitch #subversivecrossstitch #aida #shopsmall

The billionaires created the online misinformation dystopian nightmare, disengaged us from community building and mutual aid in favor of their wallets, and now they want us to stew in all of it alone and isolated while they recreate mainstream news to their own ends. DEMOCRACY HAS DIED IN DARKNESS.

Good morning. The House voted yesterday to kick millions of off their health care, close rural hospitals, and shut down addiction clinics. All in order to afford a giant tax cut for Elon Musk, Donald Trump and their billionaire and corporate friends.

While it doesn’t shock me, what’s concerning is what happens after Trump. Eventually, there will be an after Trump (look at me being an optimist) and if we reestablish ourselves as a true democracy (cough abolish EC), will those relationships be ruined for good? How’d they trust us again?

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this. The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".

Putin’s lifelong dream was to somehow separate the US from NATO. But how to break up a strong alliance that stood for 80 years and continued to expand? There really was only one way to do it, he figured it out a decade ago, and played the long game. Now his guy will do it.

UPDATE: The charges against her have been dropped “in the interest of justice” (she bit one of the brownshirts that assaulted her) and the private security firm has lost their license to operate. I hope she sues them into oblivion.

While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent. SAY NO TO OLIGARCHY.

Re: USAID: 1) connected dots on soft power saving US military lives; why aren’t Republican military hawks FREAKING out about this? 2) Dictators are now contacting Musk personally to ask for data on USAID recipients and journalists in their countries that supported stories about it to punish them.

If they don’t follow court orders and get to break the law, I can just stop paying my student loans right? No? They’d garnish my wages and fine me & it’ll be impossible to catch up & I can’t discharge them in bankruptcy? Huh. Guess equal justice isn’t a thing, eh? Maybe even never was? Weird.

Raskin: "Trump is suing CBS for $20b in damages because, check this out, he believes an interview with Kamala Harris produced too favorable an impression of her. That means I could sue Fox News because I think their interview with Trump produce too favorable an impression. I mean, this is lunacy."

Here’s the scariest part that few are digging into. The charges were dismissed WITHOUT PREJUDICE. That means if Adams doesn’t kowtow to every whim of the Trump administration, Bondi can punish Adams by reinstating the charges. Easy peasy corruption squeezy.
