5 Calls Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

If you’re a politically conscious Apple user, 5 Stars is a godsend for making your voice heard. It puts your reps’ contact into at your fingertips, and even includes scripts for top issues so you don’t end up β€œon the spot” when they pick up! High;y recommended!

@agent139.bsky.social - if we’re going to post our way out of this, it will be posts like these that help, perhaps (in addition to those which remind people *why.*)

Elon Musk is consolidating power for himself. This isn’t just about MAGA lawlessness β€” he’s a billionaire seizing control of government power to drive authoritarianism. That’s why we’re bringing the fight directly to him with Tesla protests at showrooms, factories and dealerships across the country.

From the folks who put out the Indivisible guide:

🚨 Your House representative is now home through 2/23/2025.

That’s where we come in.

With Trump and Elon Musk pulling off a billionaire coup in real time, this congressional recess is about turning up the heat like never before. Let’s get to work.

To my fellow anxious, sleepless non-Republicans:

Know about the 3 House of Reps special elections coming up? If we win all three, we retake the House:

FL 1 [Gay Valimont (D)]

FL6 [Joshua Weil (D)]

NY 21 [Blake Gendebien (D)]

Donate to Dems in those races, and earn the right to relax! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ˜˜

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.

Every little bit helps. One additional person sees these posts & *calls* their Congresspeople, etc.

It’s all about math and every additional voice adds up on the shoulders of those on the fence.

NEW: Archived tweets for Gavin Kriger, Musk's 20-something DOGE employee wreaking havoc inside USAID, shows that Kriger has retweeted multiple neo-Nazis including Nick Fuentes, leader of the so-called Groyper movement, and another popular explicit Nazi account recently unmasked by @travisbrown.dev

How to Prevent a Bird Flu Pandemic Leading virologist Angela Rasmussen breaks down everything you should know about the latest bird flu outbreak, including how worried Americans should be.

The H5N1 risk continues to increase. New spillovers, more infections. The agencies running response are being dismantled & it seems like maybe some info about bird flu is in order.

@mehdirhasan.bsky.social asked me to write an explainer piece for @zeteo.com, so I did.

I know about opening, closing & freezing lines of credit, but not about minimizing them. Thanks. I’ll talk to my financial adviser & see what she says.

Okay, intelligent friends: given the Musk Rat’s penetration of our country’s disbursement center(and it would seem, his hoovering up of our personal & financial info,) would now be a good time to put a freeze on one’s credit, just in case?

Seeing this idea thrown around a lot. What do y’all think?

Be advised that whoever is behind the β€œPsychedelic Mushrooms advocate” account is a scammer. If you friended them because we were mutuals, do not engage.
