Call to Action: DC Protest, July 4th. If you are in the DC area we ask for all hands on deck. Gather at 2 PM at Logan Circle, culminating in a march to the White House. #3E #RefuseFascism #NoKings

Alina Habba, once President Donald Trump’s personal attorney and now the interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey, has quietly been under investigation by the state’s professional regulators for more than a year, putting her license to practice law at risk. www.notus.org/donald-trump...

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I'm attending No Kings's event, “One Million Rising: Strategic Non-Cooperation to Fight Authoritarianism” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

“Today, right now—and I mean right this second—you have the most power you’ll ever have in the current fight against authoritarianism in America,” writes @adriennelaf.bsky.social. If you wait to speak out against autocrats, you have already lost:

We fired a bunch of park rangers and cancer researchers to build concentration camps.

Furious Elon Musk Demands Refund from Wisconsin

Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency has infiltrated the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), one of the most critical arts and cultural support systems in the country. “There is no efficiency argument when IMLS represents just 0.0046% of the federal budget."

From banned books to banned words, Trump's no-no's include: "biased," "climate science," "women," "socioeconomic," "underprivileged," and "inequality." “Men” is not on the taboo list, in deference to the political ascendency of the Manosphere, of course.

Partisanship is a hell of a drug

The S&P 500 fell 3.1% this week, its worst showing in many months, after dizzying White House policy shifts on tariffs.

A group of men who would not identify themselves and who were working for the local Republican Party have dragged someone out of a political meeting, her speech considered grounds for arrest. What’s next? And who will stand in their way

Join me tomorrow at Fox HQ to protest!

King MuskTrump has wiped out the national database of police misconduct. Nearly 150,000 records of misconduct by federal officers erased, like it never happened.  Why would he get rid of the database he created? Because Trump will drastically scale back police accountability to appease right-wing TV

The Trump administration has begun firing employees at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, one of the world’s premier centers for climate science.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

The two most important of @timothysnyder.bsky.social's rules for fighting tyranny are: 1. Do Not Obey in Advance. and 2. Defend Institutions. For #NIH, take these together: Stand up for the quality and value of your own science, and reject bad science. Tell the PUBLIC why your work is great. /2

A new report has found tech mogul/fascism enthusiast Elon Musk built his fortune from $38 billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies, and tax credits going back more than 20 years.

Unvaccinated school-aged child dies of measles in Texas amid growing outbreak. It is the first measles death in the US since 2015. arstechnica.com/health/2025/...

Trump and Musk don't think the American government owes military veterans anything.

Is anyone talking about this?!?

I can’t stop laughing! Wish I had thought of this 🐷🐖

Trump says Gen. Caine donned a MAGA hat when they met in 2018, a breach of military guidelines that bar active-duty troops from wearing political paraphernalia. “‘I’ll kill for you, sir,’” Trump recalled the general saying. “Then he puts on a Make America Great Again hat,” Trump said, laughing.

Remember when Donald Trump promised not to touch Medicaid? He’s already flipped.

#ProudBlue #BlueSkyResistance #DemocracyWarriors It is absolutely, 100%, a coup. @altnps.bsky.social you are amazing. Thank you for taking a lead in the resistance & keeping us all informed. America stands with you & all federal employees taking a stand.

#ProudBlue SMDH 🤦‍♀️

#BlueSkyVets Health care providers in Florida are having problems with payments from Tricare, which is causing some to drop Tricare patients. Hey DOGE, these are active duty servicemen and their families — WTH are you doing? #ProudBlueVets #DemsUnited www.militarytimes.com/pay-benefits...

An unconscionable post from Donald Trump about Zelenskyy, in which he calls him a "dictator" and threatens Ukraine's existence.

📢 TODAY in DC! Federal workers & allies are standing up to defend the public services we all rely on—Social Security, Medicare, veterans’ care & more. We won’t let them be gutted. We’re going again at 5:30. Join the fight: go.savepublicservices.com #SaveOurServices

Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage. So gather your justice and humanity, Illinois, and do not let despair overcome us when our country needs us the most.

It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic. When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.

It has been many years, but we are going through the same thing. This short film from 1947 is worth watching: Don't Be A Sucker ⬇️ youtu.be/iQ0ct9bglYo?...

'This Is Why You Fight These Cowards': AOC Unmoved by Trump Border Czar's Threats "The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights," said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. "He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He's got nothing else."

Surprise surprise. Here is OpenAIs response to being evil. Sound familiar? Elon and Dumps play book.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

In the coming weeks, a lot of slow-on-the uptake folks are going to begin belatedly realizing Trump is both an inept moron and a dangerous autocrat. Our great civic challenge in these trying times will be calmly welcoming them aboard instead of primal-screaming in their faces.

Musk and Trump Are Cutting Popular Programs. That’s Deliberate. newrepublic.com/article/1915... via @newrepublic.com

Yes, indeed — what the fuck!!! 😡
