DOGE Privacy Act Requests U.S. Representative Jamie Raskin is encouraging all U.S. citizens to join him this week in filing formal demands for access to their personal data obtained by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and Elon Musk.

I need to add to this list: stopped using Google as my search engine and started using DuckDuckGo

I’m going to have to add to my list next week “commenting on pro-WH post in earnest on FB and then trolling supporters in the comments.”

I know I’m late to this, but 5 things I did last week:

1. Cancelled my Amazon Prime membership

2. Stopped grocery shopping at Walmart

3. Did taxes and read about war tax resistance

4. Cut down trees on my property to make room for more gardens

5. Joined the Reddit subthread r/MarchAgainstNazis

Executive orders are kind of like official temper tantrums.

Good times! It was a delight and a joy to meet you, @magicdragon.bsky.social , and Kris and spend a little time with the people behind the voices we’ve been listening to for years.

This is my first post in Bluesky! Thanks to a fellow fan of podcasters @jowrotethis.bsky.social and @da7e.bsky.social, @bertrandallain.bsky.social. It’s still all about the friends we meet along the way.
