Rubio claims that @USAID lifesaving assistance for health and humanitarian needs will continue. But his team just communicated that the entire agency will be imminently reduced from 14,000 to 294 people. Just 12 in Africa.

If you’ve taken the oath to serve, today would be a good day to honor it.

The start of week three:

This may not sound shocking, but it is one of the most shocking parts of this coup: why would you shut down all the federal offices unless you're nihilists who've decided we don't need a government? apnews.com/article/trum...

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right? it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC. i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

"The free speech crisis hiding in plain sight isn’t about whether individuals can ever criticize powerful figures — it’s about whether institutions can withstand the pressure to self-censor in the face of legal and political intimidation..." www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone here at Bluesky for the follows and the conversations and the constructive, substantive interaction. It's a great forum, a great resource for circulating and talking about the news, and -- most of all -- a pleasure. I'm grateful!

Had an awesome time chatting with Jon Stewart & @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social talking about how to fight the dumpster fire. Gear up. It’s time to brawl.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Michigan also has Deadline Detroit, founded by a former Washington Post reporter Allen Lengel.

Amen to that. Years ago, my dad worked for a small town paper with hot lead, a press camera and typewriter. Helping him, I got a good dose of printer's ink in my veins.

Michigan has Bridge, a non profit newsroom. www.bridgemi.com

The Mississippi Free Press seeks opinion pieces and essays up to 1,200 words to reflect a variety of viewpoints and life experiences.

Trump is playing right into China's hands.

And no one knows that they’ve done it. These small hyper-locals are needed to cover town meetings. It seems UN-glamorous but such reporter can expose corruption that would otherwise go unnoticed.

hats. Most small newspapers that still exist are down to skeleton staff. After being laid off from BIT, I am now using my skills at a non-newspaper business. The consequences of news “deserts” is that no one is covering local government meetings, so local leaders can basically do whatever they want

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

Lawsuits filed by North Dakota under Gov. Burgum reveal an aggressively pro-fossil fuel agenda. “Doug Burgum’s blatant conflicts with the oil industry cast doubt on his ability to fairly manage our public lands,” one government ethics watchdog said. With @northdakotamonitor.com

Sooo. RFK Jr. missed the pandemic & emergency-preparedness meeting because… he was on Capitol Hill asking to be in charge of just that?? Do I have that right?? Call your Senators: 202-224-3121 (Talk to you tmrw @andykimnj.bsky.social & @booker.senate.gov 🙋🏻‍♀️)

I think Denmark just told DJT to GFY.🧐 From: @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social newsletter 01/27

I don't live in Tennessee, but I read @thetnholler.bsky.social for news sometimes. And I don't live in Mississippi, but @mississippifreepress.org is good stuff. We need a clearinghouse of high-quality alternative news feeds!
