Reuters: the USA is trying to force Ukraine to sign away rights to its critical minerals by threatening to cut off access to Musk’s Starlink satellite system. Ukraine turned to that system after the Russians destroyed its communications services. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

What do I expect from representatives right now? I expect House Democrats and Senators to be outside govt buildings demanding to be let in, to stop Musk and his twiglets from ransacking our democracy. That’s what I expect. If you get arrested, good. We elected you to fight for us. It’s your job.

It’s a coup. open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

My take, essentially, is that we could be weeks or maybe even days away from the disintegration of the rule of federal law in this country. At some point this administration is going to stop obeying court orders. What then? Nothing good.

Repeat ad nauseum. They are trying to get tax breaks for billionaires. By stealing from you. #elonmusk #stopthesteal

I love this lady.

@ezrakleinbot.bsky.social "Trump is acting like a king because he's too weak to govern like a president. He's trying to substitute perception for reality. He is hoping that perception then becomes reality. That can only happen if we believe him" youtu.be/K8QLgLfqh6s

Hey all you Democrats in the House and Senate, you need to fight for us. Where are you right now? @dscc.bsky.social @progressivecaucus.bsky.social @congressunion.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social

“Today, Musk’s X social media company became a form of state media when the NTSB said it would no longer email updates about this week’s 2 plane crashes—one in Washington, D.C., and one in Philadelphia—and that reporters would have to get their information through X.” @heathercoxcodes.bsky.social

“It trains normal people to be purposefully annoying telephone operators, dysfunctional train conductors, befuddling middle managers, blundering factory workers, unruly movie theater patrons, and so on. In other words, teaching people to do their jobs badly.” www.404media.co/declassified...

You know that line in Tora! Tora! Tora! When the Japanese Admiral says they are waking a sleeping giant? The sleeping giant is you.

I haven’t fact checked this but sharing it anyway, let me know if you know otherwise about any of these companies.

Whistleblowers are coming out now.

I love these guys.

The “firehose effect”… designed to overwhelm, lessening the impact of every far-right agenda item. The idea is that by swamping us, we won’t be able to keep up, and so we stop trying. Timidity is not a tactic for this situation. Pay attention, take notes. open.substack.com/pub/steady/p...

If you are Canadian 🇨🇦 and care about stopping the far right fascist trend on global politics, I want to follow you. #canada

UK friends - Americans need you now, to stand up for truth, reject racism & far right views. The Brits I know hate bullies. You stood alone against fascism once, it’s time to do it again. Only this time it’s much more sneaky and subtle. You have to discern what’s real. Please, fight for democracy.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)

Thank you Dionne.

A few encaustic miniatures I have been working on. It’s nice to experiment with ideas on tiny pieces before committing to the big canvas. #encausticpainting #northwalesartist #abstractlandscape

I know “Keir” is an unusual name, but nowhere near as unusual as “Queue”. Perhaps there’s someone somewhere in the world called “Queue” but, if so, it’s likely to be a result of administrative error rather than any parent wishing…

Pay attention folks
