Spend your weekend outside and help protect your neighbors.

Hearing him loud and clear.
This is how Sen. Ron Wyden clues the public into activity that he finds extremely alarming. He does a press release about a letter he sent to the director of the CIA that basically says, 'I want to make sure you saw the classified letter I sent early today.' www.wyden.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Nancy Pelosi warns press freedom is under attack after the arrest of an independent journalist, and on the same day the Washington Post, which is owned by Jeff Bezos, conducted mass layoffs of its reporters and editors worldwide.

You can call your Senators at 202-224-3121. Please reply to my post with a ✅ if/when u make the call. It will encourage others & will let me know if my messaging is working. I hope it is working bc Elon Musk, Scott Presler, etc are heavily pushing this bill w/ misleading messaging on Twitter. Thx!
🚨 Tell your Senators to vote NO on the GOP’s so-called “SAVE” Act”, which would:

Require continuing voter purges w/ NO PENALTY for erroneous purges.

Subject election officials to potential PRISON TIME & citizen suits for mistakenly registering a single voter—even if the voter is a citizen! 1/

Substack is great but it ain’t ever bringing down a presidency, the billionaires gutting major media outlets damn sure understand this, newspapers like WAPO had an outsized role in saving democracy, now in a perverse way, its owner is helping to destroy USA. Boycott Amazon.

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off.

Imagine the severity of the whistleblower complaint against Tulsi Gabbard (5-alarm fire, red lights flashing, sirens blaring) – that they can't even figure out how to tell the people in Congress who need to know about this.
