Think of this for a moment:

If the strike were called tomorrow, how many of you would be ready to notify your employer that you will not be working until the strike demands are met?

If we don’t have 11 million of you able and ready to do this, it won’t make the impact we want.

I’m not letting my foot off Signalgate, nor should you. Under Pentagon guidelines, to access that info, special clearances were needed.

What clearance access do you need on Signal besides an invite?

Signal chat flouted rules on classified intel, say former defense officials
Signal’s convenience and the lack of clear agency guidelines makes the commercial app a popular choice for government officials. But transmitting sensitive information is still prohibited.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

Taking back our power starts now.

As an Irish-American, I’m wondering, how are we talking about St Patrick’s Day with our kids? Since he helped drive out the Druids and pagans from their homes in Ireland and all.

Yes a shutdown would have consequences.

And a Republican President, Republican House, and Republican Senate would be responsible.

They have acted in a unilateral and unprecedented way.

Democrats cannot cave. They must fight back.

Yes! A great reason to try a #nobuy 2025
The one thing I want everyone to remember is, YOU have spending power. WE made them billionaires by buying things we don’t need.

Be selective, reinvest in community markets, butchers, bakeries & so on.

WE are NOT powerless!

In case you’re not sure, this is very bad.
NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.

Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.

His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

With all these people getting laid of or fired both in public and private sectors, what do the “job creators” think is going to happen to a lot of them? If we take away peoples’ jobs, but we require them to work to live, I guess they just want a lot of people to die.
