Just listen to this. youtu.be/mJ1CIxQcZmE?...

I’ve been warning that the Tech Bros want the S.F. Presidio for a “freedom city”. Now this. 👇 1/

Trump administration is planning to use polygraphs to assess federal employee loyalty. There are ways to manipulate polygraph results, and we will provide guidance to coalition members. Polygraph results are not admissible in court due to their potential for false positives and negatives.

NEW — I wrote about Leland Dudek, a Social Security Administration (SSA) staffer who went from being on admin leave for aiding DOGE to acting head of the agency overnight. I talked to multiple SSA employees about how this prolific LinkedIn poster became Musk's poster boy for government allegiance:

Just more proof that this Administration doesn’t care if we survive it…

Are you fucking kidding me? JFC these people are evil and need to be removed.

“What’s the point of fighting cybercrime if we’re just going to give access for government networks to people with cybercriminal gang affiliations?” www.wired.com/story/doge-c...

Trump's latest executive order puts independent agencies — including the FTC, SEC, and NLRB — under his direct control. It's a blatant attempt to shield his corporate donors and his own business from agencies that hold the powerful accountable. This is an alarming power-grab.

Fuck Putin. Fuck trump. I stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇸.

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul’s response: “We are a nation of laws, not ruled by a king. The MTA has initiated legal proceedings in the Southern District of New York to preserve this critical program. We’ll see you in court.”

That was a short and extra shitty honeymoon

The Freedom of Information Act is an essential pillar of transparency and democratic accountability for the US government. Eliminating the capacity to comply with laws in general, and FOIA specifically, is a ticking grenade under our democracy.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the original American patriots fought a fucking Revolutionary War to liberate ourselves from the rule of a king. This ain't the flex he thinks it is.

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

"In America, THE LAW IS KING." Thomas Paine, 1776. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Bjj...

Testicles usually drop at around nine months of age. Mike Pence’s took 65 years.

This guy called Zelenksy a dictator this morning.

It’s 2025. If you are “shocked” by Donald Trump’s “mysterious” allegiance to Vladimir Putin, you haven’t been paying attention. Trump has been an agent of the Russians for nearly a half-century, Elon Musk for well over two decades. Stop. Being. Shocked. www.mind-war.com/p/stop-being...

That happened faster than I thought! #resist

Hundreds of former US Attorneys have signed an open letter showing solidarity with current DOJ staff. "You have responded to ethical challenges of a type no public servant should ever be forced to confront with principle and conviction." www.thejusticeconnection.org/wp-content/u...

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) sent out this message to employees today from the "HUD DOGE team" looking for suggestions on programs to cut:

Trump is asking state leaders to follow the DOGE lead. He wants state forces created so that citizens have limited refuge from tyranny. Iowa just set up a DOGE task force and it won't stop there. governor.iowa.gov/press-releas...

End impunity End autogenocide End oligarchy #3E

Can everyone please call Congress, the courts, and anyone else you can think of to find out wtf this is

⚠️ Maryland Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster plans a 2025 conference on equitable responses to disasters. They aim to ensure that everyone’s needs are equally addressed. Because the word "inequities" appears, FEMA forbids its representatives to attend. ♿ www.marylandvoad.org/event/2025-r...

Very good read! I'd say this letter should be to all democracy in power. #resist

Protests today! To find one close to you, go to mobilize.us - search on Not My President And/or No Kings

New from me — “What it comes down to is the removal of choice, especially when it comes to established health care. People should not have to suffer the anguish of being denied life-saving drugs because a couple of guys have decided to apply conspiracy theories instead of established science.”

THIS IS A LIVING DOCUMENT! February Calendar of protests and strikes across the nation. My goal is to update this daily, but please have patience. The Main tab is the calendar, while subtabs are broken down by State. docs.google.com/document/d/1... #3E #USProtests #GeneralStrike #Resist

I need someone to answer this damn question!

He who violates the laws of a country can never be its savior.

Whew! Catching #TheWeekend feels like therapy—because at least some folks in the media are saying what needs to be said. They’re having the same conversations we’re having. @michaelsteele.bsky.social ,Sir 🔥 (I of III)

I think we might know where all the missing Dem ballots went This is Ethan Shaotran. He's one of Musk's DOGE takeover hackers 2 yrs ago he won the Berkeley AI Hackathon But in 2000 won the HackGT7 with a ballot altering program called BallotProof Here's the deep dive that he couldn't scrub....

Wow. I had heard the "we quietly do what we want" part but not that gleeful "they'll never know" & then putting his hand over his dad's mouth - wonder if he learned that from Musk shushing Lil X when he was saying too much of what he overheard in private. Lil X's mischief could reveal everything

It’s been 3+ weeks. Can you name 1 thing the GOP has done to help the average American? Didn’t think so. Now House GOP will be introducing their tax plan which does nothing but steal from taxpayers to enrich the wealthy. Contact your rep: no more tax breaks for the 1%! #ProudBlue

"I am on a night train from Kyiv, bound for Zaporizhzhia, a city in the southeast of Ukraine which is about twenty miles from the front... As I get ready to go to sleep, I find myself thinking that Americans are also speeding towards a line." snyder.substack.com/p/crossing-a...

i do not understand what elon and trump would be doing differently if there weren’t themselves actual agents of beijing and moscow

"This is how our republic ends, and if people check out, it will end." @deanobeidallah.bsky.social No, we're not overreacting! Watch below for my full interview with Dean on the action WE THE PEOPLE must demand NOW.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!
