Meanwhile in Russia: state TV host Evgeny Popov says that Trump is doing Moscow's job by ripping apart the Western world — whipsawing right through it, the way Russia always wanted to. Popov says that it's truly amazing.

This from Joyce Vance who is not an alarmist
This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Conservative capitulation to MAGA fascism is made possible because so many on the right are willing to embrace culture wars to distract from economic injustices as long as it gives them the perception of racial superiority over Black and brown people.

Qasim Rashid is one of my favorite follows. He’s a human right lawyer who always offers relevant, insightful information and suggestions for action as well. I’ve learned a great deal from his posts. I highly recommend @qasimrashid.com
In 1933, Nazis issued a decree that required Germans to snitch on anyone who spoke against the party, its leaders, or the Govt.
In 2025, MAGAs force federal employees to snitch on anyone who does "DEI in disguise," or suffer "adverse consequences."

As SECDEF, Pete Hegseth will likely enforce Project 2025’s radical far-right agenda—purging senior leaders, installing Trump loyalists, and politicizing the military. In his hearing, he wouldn’t even commit to opposing unconstitutional orders. It doesn’t get much worse than this.

We were seeing a 98% drop in exposure over on Twitter. The censorship was so extreme we thought it best to start over somewhere else. We chose Bluesky.

It’s up to us voters to put in place politicians who will prioritize the protection of our environment. If you don’t follow them already, I’d highly recommend the rogue account for the National Park Service to stay up to date on environmental rollbacks that are sure to come @altnps.bsky.social
