Not surprised at all. This is scary times for the average American....

Wow! These people behave in such cavalier ways with top secret information.... Scares me that they are in possession of my beloved country and all its resources, power and influence.

Found on LinkedIn and think this is great advice... imaginethenews.com/musings-for-...

#word #knowledgeispower #readmorebooks #bannedbooksarecool #bookarecool Get lost in a story... see the world from another perspective or travel to another time or universe or solve a mystery, or whatever delights your brain. Reading is healthy brain food. Feed your brain! πŸ––

I love these rallies....great to unite us all. Don't stop them. BUT what are they doing to change what is happening today in Doge and White House or stop the destruction of our freedoms in the courts or the caving of powerful institutions and people of power? #wethepeople

We are all connected and #freespeech is fundamental to all of our rights as Americans. Even if we do not personally like or agree, it is protected. If Free Speech is eroded in the courts, we all lose...ALL OF US! #WETHEPEOPLE #RESIST #BOYCOTTCORRUPT

USA governor's need to unite and stand again this tyrant. Call your local elected representatives and governors to demand they tow the line to protect you, States power and autonomy from this bullying. Unite. File lawsuits. Do not give in. Boycott all tech bros- Cancel contracts! #wethepeople

Looking forward to seeing this film and #thankyou Mr. Jensen for your courage, bravery & openness to share the real journey of a father and son navigating the modern world. Jonathan will live on in this film. Deepest empathies to you.🫢 variety.com/2025/film/gl... variety.com/2025/film/gl...

@warnock.senate.gov: "If they're interested in waste, fraud, and abuse, they should start with co-president Musk's own companies, and ask why has he gotten $20 billion and more from the federal government. This is wealth-fare at its worst."

Zuck said Meta is in a "partnership" with White House; Google is following suit. They are all that stand between you and Trump admin data grabs. Here's a resource collection of non-US services to replace email, search, docs, music, video, backups, and more: www.wired.com/story/trump-...

What are you all doing about it? #doyourjob #wethepeople #impeach

Instead of standing up for academic freedom, Columbia is selling out its students, faculty + mission to bow to Trump’s demands to implement a mask ban, give some campus police new arrest powers + muzzle multiple depts – all w/o a fight – in exchange for the restoration of $400M in federal funds.

Here's a letter to the American public from (anonymous, out of fear of retaliation) current & former employees of EPA, earnestly -- and somewhat heartbreakingly -- explaining how important their work is & what a tragedy is is that Trump's destroying it.

Wow...the gaslighting and utter dismissive, disregard for her constituents is appealing and disgusting. She does NOT represent her people at all. #wyoming so proud of you! #wethepeople πŸ–– It is our backs that these people have stood up on for too long! #notaxationwithoutrepresentation

Word! #ruleoflaw #wethepeople

No taxation without representation. Trump is not our king, emperor, dictator. He was elected through an antiquated, broken, corrupt, electoral college "representative democracy" process and his chronies have been building for this moment to commit sedition. #impeach #wethepeople

Love this!! We need some sanity checks and our elected representatives to #stoptheinsanity #wethepeople

There is a lot of stress, frustration, fear and wackadoo going around, please take care of yourself also! πŸ–– #mentalhealthmatters

This is illegal. He should be convicted for this and for what he did paying people during the presidential election. This is tampering with democratic voting. It is blatant corruption that we all are letting exist and destroy our country like a cavity in a tooth 🦷 that will rot...stop the rot!

This is just a ridiculous way to govern www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Our veterans deserve better! They should be treated with more care, dignity, resources and respect than the president or any elected or appointed officials in the US Govt. Thank you to all our veterans. πŸ–– #stoptheinsanity #wethepeople www.reuters.com/world/us/va-...

Hope this place stays free from the corrupt tech bro machine because we all need a space for real human interactions and intelligent discussions. πŸ––
