Have you heard? There’s a new bill that makes it harder for millions of eligible Americans to vote. Join me and @standupamerica.bsky.social in urging Congress to vote NO on the SAVE Act: act.standupamerica.com/letters/no-o...
Vote NO on the SAVE Act!
The SAVE Act is a trick to undermine our voting rights. Urge Congress to vote no on the SAVE ACT.

“Free markets and personal liberties” as long as the exercise of your personal liberties doesn’t conflict with what Bezos wants it to be…
willoremus.com Will Oremus @willoremus.com · Feb 26
Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos just emailed the paper's staff to announce a "change coming to our opinion pages."
I shared this note with the Washington Post team this morning: I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages. We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets. We’ll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others. There was a time when a newspaper, especially one that was a local monopoly, might have seen it as a service to bring to the reader’s doorstep every morning a broad-based opinion section that sought to cover all views. Today, the internet does that job. I am of America and for America, and proud to be so. Our country did not get here by being typical. And a big part of America’s success has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else. Freedom is ethical — it minimizes coercion — and practical — it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity. I offered David Shipley, whom I greatly admire, the opportunity to lead this new chapter. I suggested to him that if the answer wasn’t “hell yes,” then it had to be “no.” After careful consideration, David decided to step away. This is a significant shift, it won’t be easy, and it will require 100% commitment — I respect his decision. We’ll be searching for a new Opinion Editor to own this new direction. I’m confident that free markets and personal liberties are right for America. I also believe these viewpoints are underserved in the current market of ideas and news opinion. I’m excited for us together to fill that void. Jeff

This is an INCREDIBLY serious story for Washington, DC.

There is one prosecutor for DC: the federal/DOJ US Attorney for DC. That's a Trump-appointed position now. The Trump appointee is corrupt, venal, MAGA.

Here the DC police wanted to prosecute a crime, and the Trump USAO SAID NO. 1/
USAO DC declined to prosecute a clear crime to help Trump

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

Hold the fuck on a minute — Assistant President Poopy Pants spent $15 million taxpayer dollars to attend a single football game, but Phony Stark’s Division of DOGEbags can’t find the money to fund childhood cancer research?

Are you fucking kidding me?!?

Trump and the GOP are counting on Democrats to play by the old rules while they bulldoze democracy. But the real power of the Senate isn’t just in votes — it’s in procedural warfare: indivisible.org/resource/how...

Pete Hegseth left his Venmo on public. @lukewgoldstein.bsky.social and @drboguslaw.bsky.social looked at his transactions and found a lot of elite DC insiders with major financial stakes before the Pentagon: prospect.org/politics/202...

The VA may be the next government agency to go dark, if Pete Hegseth’s digital Rolodex is anything to go by.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.

16 Democratic senators recently voted to confirm the Trump-appointed Treasury Secretary who just gave Musk’s team access to a Treasury payment system that disburses trillions and holds mass quantities of personal information. Food for thought. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Hi friends! Hey it might be a good time for you to take a look at your Meta accounts. It seems that Meta is automatically making you follow POTUS, VP, and FLOTUS accounts. And if you Unfollow check again later because they might add them back. I’m seeing this pop-up from a lot of my friends
