Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

The King and I: With @deepakguptalaw.bsky.social on challenging monarchic theories of power in federal court

Morning from Kyiv! I want to start this Saturday with a song ‘’How cannot I love you, Kyiv of mine?’ A familiar to you gentleman plays it. The video is from the last Sunday, but it suits my mood perfectly.

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...

BREAKING: USCP is arresting Enrique Tarrio for swiping his hand at a counterprotester who got in his face.

I refuse to stop fighting. And I sleep soundly at night knowing I’m on the right side of history 💙 #resist #theresistence #corruption #democracy #keepfighting #50501 #50501movement

Hitler destroyed German democracy in 53 days. We are on day 30. The purge of the military and FBI has commenced. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Da, or as we say, duh.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

Anyone?

Another #dayoflove , I guess.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Breaking: Secretary of Defense removed Adm. Lisa Franchetti as chief of naval operations. Story to come for USNI News.

Morning from Ukraine! One more time, a view from my hometown. I will be back in Kyiv in the evening. Cannot say that I rested, as the week was hard for Ukraine. I had a #warcoffee already.

Life in Ukraine is going on. We resist with every breath, every step, every day and night. We protect what we inherited from our proud ancestors. Ukraine.

Act of #resistance: GET LIBRARY CARDS! As many as you can! USE THEM A LOT! Regimes always try to close down sources of information and #education. Make sure our #libraries are VERY well used so that legislators cannot doubt the need for them. #resist #library #knowledgeispower #riseup

It’s not a “savings” if you’re getting fewer services in exchange. I’m still paying the same taxes!

You don’t have to work in politics to know where this is going. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

The Education Department has warned U.S. schools that they risked losing federal funding if they continued to take race into account when making scholarship or hiring decisions — or so much as nodded to race in “all other aspects of student, academic and campus life.”

Ok, schools at US military bases aren’t just removing books that fall into the “DEI” category. They are removing books with that totally woke viewpoint that slavery was a bad thing

Love you @grrcle.bsky.social sisters! #resist #cleveland

It’s a cliché to say it—and no two historical scenarios offer a perfectly compelling analogy—but what each American is doing now is what they’d be doing were they a German living in Germany and were it 1936-38 There’s no more doubt about who the appeasers or the bad guys are—they’re in the open now

DOGE is about to receive full access to IRS taxpayer data. On its own, that’s horrific. But it gets worse. The guy with access reposted content by Nick Fuentes (who advocates killing Jews) & says he was inspired to join DOGE by Ron Unz (an antisemitic Holocaust denier). This is beyond dangerous.

NOT OKAY, @cityofcleveland.bsky.social

As a political scientist who studies countries that managed to stop the slide into authoritarianism, I can assure you that ***refraining from provoking the authoritarian*** is not how it works. Without further ado, I will now go tear out another chunk of hair.
