Hey, so folks are saying: if you protest, don’t post any photos! And yeah, that’s true… for folks like BIPOC, Disabled, Visa/Greencard holders, etc.

But that’s not true for white men or women.

We NEED the demographics of the people that voted for him to be on the front lines here. Digitally too.

Jessie Mahaffey, who was scrubbing the deck of the U.S.S. Oklahoma when it was hit by Japanese torpedoes at Pearl Harbor in 1941, and who was among the last living service members who survived the surprise attack, died on March 1 at 102.

He was cleaning the deck of the U.S.S. Oklahoma when it capsized under Japanese torpedo fire. Less than a year later, he survived the sinking of another Navy ship in the Pacific.

The DHS agents said that the State Dept revoked Khalil’s green card.”

To go along with our piece today, we published an extensive list of folks associated with DOGE. It builds off and adds to the strong work that Wired, WaPo, ProPublica and other pubs have been doing.

The public has a right to know who is dismantling the government.

Who Is in DOGE? Tracking Its Staffers and Allies in the Federal Government
The Times identified 49 people within the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, a group formed by Elon Musk that in a short few weeks has radically upended federal agencies.

Small changes are still impactful.
Voting with your wallet is efficient over time. It's a lot about changing habits !

You dont need to go from 1 to 0 to cause companies and shareholders to lose💲 & market points

"Do I really need this ?"
"Am I the type of person that gives <company> money ? "
"Does this align with my values?"
When it comes to boycotting, just a thought. It’s okay if you can’t quit a company cold turkey. In Master Gardeners, when we encourage people to switch to native plants, the goal is 70% native, not 100%. If you were shopping at a store 80% of the time and cut it back to 60%, that 20% still hurts.

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

American institutions—from the media to Congress—continue to underreact to the unraveling of our democracy. Overseas our media would not hesitate to call what we’re living through a full-blown autocratic coup. Here's my attempt at the story they should write: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-trump...
