Is this meant to be a SCIF?? If so it's the shittiest SCIF I've ever seen. Photos of INSIDE IT? With TWITTER OPEN?
Several of the photos have Twitter up on a screen in the background but I can’t make out what search term appears

And the power to do so lies first with our elected officials. Then with us.
It’s the United States that needs regime change.

I'm just an average, although chronically online, person, and am not operating as a journalist (anymore). I always cite my sources where I can and encourage folks to follow the real frontline independent reporters.

Very important in these media times to distinguish between independent journalists who do real reporting, and newsfluencers who repackage others’ work. It’s right to direct people to seek reporters with frontline sources, and wrong to smear independent journalists ly lumping us in with pretenders
Believe it or not, independent journalists can get our own frontline sources.

The president unilaterally decided to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader, and now he says he's just going to run that county himself for a while too.
Call your representatives now and demand they impeach him.

Hey you wanna know how to fix this? GO FUCKING VOTE.
More than a third of voting-age citizens just don't bother. 90+ million people stayed home.
America is only a democracy as long as we keep it, and right now we aren't doing a good job.

Based on the images just released of Maduro, it looks like the DEA is involved?

This was a move made by a madman who thinks he's a king in (pre)colonial times, expanding "his empire".
This is not Rome, nor Britain, nor Germany. Have we not learned from the past?
It is 2026, and we do not colonize other countries and steal their resources.

Articles of impeachment must be drawn immediately. He must be removed along with his entire cabinet and cronies. They must face justice.
So let me get this straight. While we were sleeping our military, without any congressional declarations of war, stormed another sovereign nation and kidnapped its president?
No shot that's legal. Why is our military following illegal orders??

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

As 2025 comes to a close, I wanted to write a longer form essay about what we've faced this year and where we go from here. Alas, 2025 had one more curve ball to throw at me and my brain feels like it's going to smoosh out from my eyeballs.

Hi friends. It's your friendly internet mom here asking: Are you all doing ok? Are you eating enough? Did you shower today?
Make sure you're taking care of yourself. The only way out is through, and we need you at your best.

If you, like me, vote by mail this will affect your vote. Mail it back AS SOON AS YOU CAN, and if you can't get it in at least a couple days before Election Day, take it to your polling place and swap it for a ballot.
Hey so this seems like something more people should be talking about 🤔 🗳️
