Personally, I feel like the national Democratic Party died with John Lewis. It was dying before that but he always made me feel like there was at least a moral compass. Party leadership keeps shutting down the Good Trouble from newcomers.

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

On 22 February 1943, three young Germans, members of the White Rose Society -- Hans Scholl, Sophie Scholl, and Christoph Probst -- were guillotined by the Nazis for distributing leaflets speaking out against the crimes of the Third Reich. Their bravery, and their cause, will not be forgotten.

If you're represented by a Republican and you care about the post office, how about flyering outside your local post office. Tell folks about the administration's plan to dismantle USPS and tell them to contact their GOP reps. Include local telephone numbers on the fliers. bsky.app/profile/sylv...

The Dept. of Education is the result of a Reconstruction era policy meant to provide education for newly emancipated Black folks…everyone else just happened to benefit from it. The attack on the DOE is already anti-Black. It’s deep cut historical anti-Blackness.

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

What the actual fuck? U.S. attorney Ed Martin is harassing a sitting congressman for having the audacity to say mean things about the world's richest man. I hope these are frivolous and amount to nothing, because if stuff like this becomes actionable it's next top totalitarian dystopia.

The temptation is strong to dunk on GOP officeholders finally repudiating Trump at this late stage. But this is what we need if we're going to salvage American democracy. And lots of it.

Again: I don’t think the primary goal of the anti-D.E.I. authoritarianism we’re seeing is re-segregation. It’s TOTAL human enslavement to corporations. Re-segregation is just a stop on that train. Explicit white supremacy and patriarchy are being used to make techno-fascism seductive to the masses.

I just finished watching this a few minutes ago, and if you want renewed vision or clarity on the issues, watch and share this--it's really good. "We're experiencing the counter revolution without having had the full revolution" hit hard, as did points about tech oligarchs' abandonment of humanity.

Today's specific, micro-detailed order by Trump shows he's a servant of Silicon Valley techno-fascists. Trump's order targets just four agencies; one is the trust maintaining the Presidio, a national park in SF. The tech fascists want to seize this park for a "Freedom City" they would run. 1/
