I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

I’ve been saying this for a while. Make it get traction! @johnfugelsang.bsky.social @dailybeanspod.bsky.social @muellershewrote.bsky.social

To love truth for truth's sake is the principal part of human perfection in this world, and the seed-plot of all other virtues. John Locke

Worth reading.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

The guy who racked up almost $8T in debt during his first term has no interest in paying it down. The federal purge underway is to allow for oligarchs to make trillions in privatization and run roughshod in a deregulated landscape. Remember that in an oligarchy, everything is run by the oligarchs.

Let me speak to the DOGE audit language. Many people who work in both the Treasury and specifically the IRS are CPAs. Most audit firms hire CPAs. A 19yo coder has absolutely no idea how to accurately identify waste or fraud. Calling what DOGE is doing as a audit, is a flat out lie.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

This is fascism.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom. Thomas Jefferson

I'm hearing now that *every* technologist CFPB hired to investigate Big Tech was fired this evening. That's somewhere between 70-100 people. wired.com/story/dozens-of-cfpb-workers-terminated-in-after-hours-firing-blitz/

Maybe, just maybe, Trump was charged with crimes because he... committed crimes.

We seriously could’ve just continued this but with someone younger and smarter who not only wasn’t corrupt or a criminal like Trump, but spent her entire life in law enforcement and public service and actually cared about us. Instead, 77 million people voted for national suicide.

This is what magic sounds like ✨

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP. It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Just ran across this song from my clubbing days…. and thought you’d enjoy 😉 @libradunn1.bsky.social @muellershewrote.bsky.social

If privacy matters to you, the free Proton VPN is a solid choice. We personally go with Mullvad VPN. It’s about the price of a coffee each month and adds more efficiency. Dropping the Proton link below.

By & large, most books are superior to human beings.

Shameful. The opposite of backing the Blue.

SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

Our time here is short …..make the most of every moment ✨✨✨✨

The body loves routine. Try to eat, sleep, and so on at the same times every day in order for the body to function at its optimum efficiency. The body loves consistency. Theresa Hearn Haynes

The last time it felt this eerie was right before the pandemic.

2 insurrections, same President.

My thoughts exactly 🤔

Looks like Musk-rats in Treasury are NOT “read-only,” but can manipulate data, steal data, and leave back doors. Your privacy gone.
