ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

@jamestaylor-com.bsky.social’s self-titled debut album was released in the USA in February, 1969. He was one of the guiding voices of my generation. He generally stays silent on politics, but, he could hold it in no longer.

Thank you, once again, Sweet Baby James.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Head of the DOD is managing 3 Million plus people
The piece has tons of devastating details about Hegseth's many, many disqualifying personal traits, but we shouldn't overlook the parts about how he has repeatedly mismanaged every single organization he's led and been driven out of job after job for utter incompetence.
Yikes. A racist, drunken, sexual predator. "A different former employee described Hegseth being at a bar in the early-morning hours of May 29, 2015, while on an official tour through Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, drunkenly chanting “Kill All Muslims! Kill All Muslims!” www.newyorker.com/news/news-de...

Nothing is more meaningful than being part of a struggle for democracy.... The answer to political defeat is not to disconnect, but to organize. You can take a couple of days or weeks off, commiserate with friends and mute Elon Musk on X — or erase the app altogether

Germany’s intelligence chief warns Russia is heading to war with the West and NATO invoking Article 5.

“From Russia's point of view, [success] would be achieved if Article 5 had no effect in the event of an attack,” Russia's goal is to split NATO, so it can isolate smaller countries to invade.

There’s an awful lot of “it’s over” and “we won’t survive this” going around. I’m not naive to the danger, I’m just not convinced these people are capable of destroying everything and I’m convinced there are plenty of good, capable, committed people who are not going to just roll over and take it.

MTG wants to control your access to information. Fight back by being well informed. Develop trusted sources of information. Do not let them keep you in the dark about what they are doing-that is the hope of dictators.

Authoritarians want you to betray each other but they also encourage you to betray yourself through an inner moral collapse- you give up your agency and let the leader "fix it," and you disregard your moral compass.

One thing I think people need to be aware of is the absolute torrent of bullshit we are about to see.

Pay attention to what else is happening when the big distracting things - deportations, etc. - start.

They’re going to try to flood the zone and ram it all through at once.
