I love when my colleagues post for me! ❤️
From Rabbi @marisaelana.bsky.social:

May Iranians, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe.
May Palestinians, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe.
May Israelis, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe.

May all the war-mongering authoritarians be deposed & may they [yet] experience real justice..

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are on a rampage with a very specific purpose: To weaken our government's ability to fight oligarchy and autocracy.

WATCH:
It's clear Musk and Trump are weakening our gov't as a force to fight autocracy. #trump #elonmusk

Last night’s Friday Night News Dump was a doozy: Trump has purged the country’s military leadership.

DOGE is gaining total control over key government computer systems—and there may be no way to wrest it back, @cwarzel.bsky.social, @ibogost.bsky.social, and @matteowong.bsky.social write.
DOGE Has ‘God Mode’ Access to Government Data
The president’s special commission now has an unprecedented ability to view and manipulate information at many federal agencies.

More details on this shockingly sloppy episode.
Trump officials fired nuclear staff not realizing they oversee the country’s weapons stockpile, sources say | CNN
Some of the fired probationary employees included on-the-ground staff at facilities where nuclear weapons are built.

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

“Elon Musk is a walking conflict of interest,” Craig Holman, the government affairs lobbyist at the consumer watchdog Public Citizen, said. “Over and over again, he’s just involved in governmental actions that directly and substantially impact his own financial wellbeing.”
“Elon Musk is a walking conflict of interest”
Federal law forbids any Executive Branch employee from "participating personally and substantially" in matters "that will affect his own financial interests."

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at.

You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters.

Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten
This was the way.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.
