Awful.... I'm looking now for the language the Republicans approved. Will post below when I find it

Fox News and Smartmatic both asked a judge on Wednesday to rule in their favor in the $2.7 billion defamation case—but what’s missing from the recent filings could prove far more damaging for Rupert Murdoch. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/rupert-mur...

This is absolutely on you @chuckschumer.com . RESIGN

The fact that Schumer hasn't been pushed out of Dem leadership yet speaks to the weakness of the party.

"China's foreign ministry urged Washington on Friday to stop "misleading the public" on bilateral tariff negotiations: "The United States and China are not engaged in consultations or talks on the tariff issue" www.reuters.com/world/beijin...

Love this!! Karen! You are brilliant. Is there a freedom / resistance school scholarship fund to contribute to?

The reason the south has languished for generations is that the white leadership cares more about preserving a white male hierarchy than making their society better. We're now seeing that on a national scale. The Trump administration is turning the US into deep south style autocracy.

If we still had a White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, they’d be in Tallahassee helping the community access federal resources for survivors, families, & students. Then they’d take what was learned to help prevent it from ever happening again. Trump killed it on day 2.

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

This is a good summary of what’s going on.

If you need a guest to talk about: Preserving food, food waste, storing food, getting creative with ingredients, fermentation, etc. I’m available to talk! I’ve written multiple books on fermentation and preserving, and teach about food waste and preserving. Email me at [email protected]

"If you’re a libertarian who believes that inequality is natural and lives in fear of race war, you will be drawn towards a certain type of American politics. You certainly won’t want government or institutions to try to intervene against racism."

Can we get more of this? “The Japanese American National Museum will ‘scrub nothing,’ Fujioka said, and instead will highlight the importance of DEI. “Our community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka said.

Yup.

Some new art by my friend @monicatrinidad.bsky.social - I think that she is quoting @mskellymhayes.bsky.social

Professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat’s breaking down dictators, fascists, and kleptos. Why do people worship these power-hungry psychos? How do they use & destroy #freespeech, #democracy, grab all the cash, and take control? What’s with their egos? Is Xi Jinping in the club? #Trump #Putin #ElonMusk #oligarchy

Fuck these people and fuck those who support them.

Today's coverage of the Democracy Movement features protests in Pennsylvania and Indiana, a reminder from Turkey + links to local protests and town halls near you. Your voice matters. Stay engaged. Stay involved.

The Felon President is condemning ‘waste’ and firing workers – while cashing in by traveling to his own golf resorts and over-charging secret service to stay there. Read more here: bit.ly/4imHMET #DonTheCon

Imagine calling yourself the master race and have to resort to erasing the achievements of minorities to make yourself feel better.

The trail from a sanctioned Russian oligarch to Elon Musk's DOGE is not even one degree of separation.

RESIGN @schumer.senate.gov

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

We are living in that prophecy today 👇 #ResistTrump

As Attorney General, Brad Schimel sued to overturn the #AffordableCareAct and take away healthcare from Wisconsin families. If elected to the WI Supreme Court, we can't trust him to side with Wisconsinites over wealthy insurance and drug companies. Vote for Susan Crawford.

Can't say it any better...

What happens if Trump defies court orders?

this is a golden age for walking out of your lab with a USB key in your pocket getting on a plane and going to Luxembourg

. @annecaprara.bsky.social is correct here

I'm with her. Let's go.

The ‘can machines do creative writing’ thing is mostly a distraction from the use of the machines to go through text and images to cancel grants and put people on deportation lists

Exactly this👇 I was at Arlington Cemetery ~15 months ago for my grandmother’s burial… right before the Confederate statue was taken down. The person handling her arrangements, a Black veteran, reflected on the deep and complex history the Cemetery embodies. His words resonated then and do now
