Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” isn’t beautiful — it’s a loaded weapon pointed at democracy. It guts courts, chills protests, and hands him unchecked power. We can’t sit this out. We must act now. History will remember what we do. #Resist #SaveDemocracy Full Article: www.facebook.com/share/p/1AaH...

Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

Last fall I went with my brother in law to Salzburg and Munich. While we didn’t visit a concentration camp on this trip, we did learn and experience a lot of the Nazi legacy. It was profound.
The more I learn, the more obvious the parallels are.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

*All* government agencies submit audited financial every single year. So, the last time USAID was audited was ... this past December! oig.usaid.gov/sites/defaul...
Who does the audits? The Inspectors General. Who are presently under attack, so that future crimes won't be seen.

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳

X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m.
Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?
If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Josh Shapiro called the McDonald’s employee who reported Luigi Mangione a “hero.”
She will NOT get the $10,000 reward money because she called 911 instead of the tip line.
By the way, Josh Shapiro got $15,000 in donations from United Healthcare last year.
Numbers are fun.
