Who could have guessed that the former leader of the Proud Boys—convicted of sedition because of January 6th—would, after Trump pardoned him, start to harass the hero cops of January 6th? Who could ever have guessed it? (This went down at the Principles First conference in D.C.)

“We have to develop 10 to 12 million acre-feet [of new water supply] in the next 30, 40 years. And that’s not any small task. … It’s multiple decades, billions of dollars.”

“How much 💰 did Caine make in 2 months? We have to follow the 💴 . All of this is about 💴….They are removing barriers to untold billions of 💰 for themselves and their favored partners. This is about creating unfettered and un-✅’d oligarchy with crypto & tech bros driving an un✅ economy 4 the rich.”

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

There are 3 special elections coming up and those 3 seats are the keys to stopping the Congressional Republicans doing Trump & Musk’s evil bidding. We need just 1 seat to block them, 2 seats to stop them, and with all 3 we can FLIP THE HOUSE. Join us!! Monday 2/24 @7:30 EST. 👇👇 mobilize.us/s/Y9NrBb

“Greer said. “Nobody says to men, ‘R you practicing self-care?’ So, at the same time that we are committing ourselves 2 it, and learning & making the time to take care of ourselves, we should not stop expecting it as just a right — and it’s something that we should be able 2 expect from others.”

“Changing the system requires a collective effort to address how those systems were built and kept in place,” she said. “Practices like yoga give individuals and communities the focus and energy to work together and make necessary changes.”

The stress of people living in America is at an all-time high,” “Practices like yoga give individuals and communities the focus and energy to work together and make necessary changes.”

The stress of people living in America is at an all-time high,” Evans said. “Systemic solutions must be put in place in addition to a focus on personal healing. It is not enough for an individual to ‘work hard’ to overcome systems of oppression.”

This image, taken in Detroit in 1957, shows the late civil rights leader Rosa Parks engaged in the holistic practice of yoga, lying on her stomach and pulling her feet toward her head while looking up toward the camera. The image serves as evidence that Parks was a true yogi. cnn.it/3QuSVal

The Pentagon will fire 5,400 civilian workers next week.

We refuse to let the oligarchs win and control us, and I feel a sea change (link to full video in reply)

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.

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

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

200 million dollars of waste.

A whole generation of early career scientists and physician-scientists, including colleagues and myself, are particularly vulnerable to these funding freezes and cuts, with jobs and careers depending on federal grants. #IDsky #Medsky #Episky www.science.org/content/arti...

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I am very politically active and write/call my congressman often. I have lived in his district for almost 2 decades. I have never seen him in person and it’s not for a lack of trying. No town halls. No visiting his district. I’ve never seen hide nor hair of Sam Graves.

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

It has been a long and grueling week. Thank you to everyone who offered kind words of support. If you want to follow everything happening to democracy in court, while also supporting pro-democracy independent media, please sign up for Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

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

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

Trump looks weak and erratic—selling out to Russia, attacking Zelenskyy, and throwing workers under the bus. Markets are rattled, his approval is crashing, and his MAGA cronies are overstepping. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast live at 8p ET/5p PT!

BREAKING: A cadre of largely unidentified actors in the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are controlling major government functions with no real oversight or transparency. We're suing to force them to comply with the law and turn over records by March 10.

The National Park Service fired many of its park rangers as part of a reduction in the federal work force. Some rangers decided it was worth the risk to speak out online about the cuts and share their love of the Park Service. “It’s scary, but it was the right thing to do.”

Three updates: 1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

Take J. Edgar Hoover and then make him 30 times worse. The whole nation will suffer for this folly. Suffer so much more than anyone yet realizes. This was a critical benchmark Trump had to hit to advance his plan to destroy democracy. Everyone who voted for Kash Patel should live in infamy forever.

The last thing King Donold wants is for millions of Americans to protest in Washington DC and just not leave.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.
