Whether it's liberal students booing Charles Murray or conservative presidents sending innocent fathers to die in El Salvadoran torture prisons, there's been plenty of incivility on both sides of the political spectrum.

The USIP is incredibly important as a key agency that funds and publicizes peace studies research. By going after such an agency, the Trump administration is furthering its own commitment to the destruction of public education, international goodwill, and thoughtful, data-driven policy.
BREAKING—The United States Institute of Peace (USIP) office was just on lockdown for close to an hour while members of the DOGE team tried to enter the building, multiple people have told me. Security has now escorted out remaining staffers who’ve been told to telework until further notice.

if T-Mobile customers want to opt out of using Starlink on iPhone, there’s a way to disable using the functionality.

The toggle is available in Settings > Cellular > your carrier > turn off Satellite.

Contrary to what you may have heard on TikTok, Apple did not just “install” Elon Musk’s Starlink on every iPhone....

If I were a democrat politician I’d be encouraging people to divest their investments from the overlords immediately and be prepared to pull all their money from the markets in a coordinated effort.

If were a democrat politician right now I would be encouraging people to buy guns and ammo.

We were for gun control in a rule-of-law based system. We are entering a raw power based system. Democrats should tell their people to buy weapons.

1. Show up. Go to the places Musk is taking over, bring cameras, demand to find out what's going on and where it breaks the law.
2. Refuse to allow standard business to continue unimpeded. Deny unanimous consent, delay votes, etc.
3. Be public about how illegal all of this is
4. Lay out a plan

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.

We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.

Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran.

Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"
