Doge is auditing NASA today.

This is absurd. The owner of Space X should not be auditing NASA.

It’s a massive conflict of interest.

Kendrick Lamar was defiant, proud, vindictive, playful and celebratory, subversive, trolling and joyful.

The president is attempting to seize control of power, and for corrupt purposes ... he's trying to crush his opposition ... this is a red alert moment ... our democracy is at risk"

We'd seen enough election irregularities on Election Day to question the result.

And then, like the villain in every Bond movie, he bragged about how he did it.

So WHY did they let him get away with it? Read my latest Substack and find out.

The Democratic Party needs new messaging strategies.
We ALL know this.
The predatory & patriarchal system of the past is broken.
Now is our chance.
Going back to the same tired “establishment” folks who failed us in 2024 is not the way forward.
I truly hope @kenmartin.bsky.social understands this.

EVERY CITIZEN file a complaint online with your states Attorney General. Here’s your prompt

DOGE’s overreach is alarming. Illegally accessing private data via the Treasury Department demands immediate investigation. Regardless of partisan loyalties, this should concern us all.

Once they normalize breaking the rules to go after people who are not citizens of this country, their next phase will be to go after people who are "not the right kind of citizens".

By then it will be too late to stop them.

Don't let them normalize any of it.

A resolution has been introduced in the House to classify “Antifa” as a “domestic terrorist organization.”

Because of course fascists would want to make antifascism illegal.
