This Elon Trump situation just confirms that our country is being run by people who spent all of their energy, figuring out how to manipulate the system and very little on emotional intelligence.

Someone in Congress taking action as an example.
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

If you feel like being inspired by a big law firm, here's the opening to Sussman Godfrey's lawsuit against Trump and his executive order targeting the firm. It still is amazing other firms caved quickly to Trump's mob-like and unconstitutional shakedown.

This is blatantly illegal and dangerous beyond belief.
Our national security is in the hands of complete amateurs.
What other highly sensitive national security conversations are happening over group chat? Any other random people accidentally added to those, too?

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

WRT the Zalenskyy-Trump press conference, I have great admiration for Zalenskyy keeping his cool and honorably representing his country. I feel great sadness for my fellow Americans and the world for the standing the US has ceded to be a force for justice only to sate Trumps greed and narcissism.

Why aren’t the Democrats as unified and ruthless toward their enemies as Republicans? Dave Zirin explains his theories.
Why Democrats Won’t Throw a Real Punch
Faced with existential threats from the right, the Democratic leadership remains timid; faced with demands for justice from the left, it goes on the attack.

STARTING to speak out and not hold back.
Murphy: "Let's not pull any punches about why this is happening. Elon Musk makes billions off of his business with China. And China is cheering at this action today. There is no question that the billionaire class trying to take over our govt right now is doing it based on self-interest."

@lateefahsimon.bsky.social Dear Rep. Simon, I'm a Berkeley constituent. Love your fire. In this emergency, all of the Democratic Congress people should physically go and enforce the laws and prevent these illegal interventions by Musk and company in our government. Physically. Thank you.

One of the biggest challenges of our time is extreme information access that no one can fully digest. Anti-progressives solution to this is buying up all traditional and new social media personalities to flood peoples' minds. How can progressive hearts get the message out? BlueSky is a start.

And there exists today and there has been for all of historical memory deep inequities and injustices. These result in current deep inequities, emotional scars, and divisions. I want to live in a world that cares about lifting up all in the awareness of where we have come from and where we are.

I am progressive because I feel empathy for people and their experience of life. The world I want to live in has the best experience for as many people as possible. Progressive efforts aim to improve circumstances for all people including myself, not just a self-centered just for me.

Let's reclaim and restate what it means to be progressive. In the collective mind it seems to be watered down, boxed in and often chastised. Instead, it is a profound, creative and courageous stand.
Let's see how we can proliferate a better understanding in a way that matters to the most.
