Wow.

Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC.

“I’m a veteran & you don’t give a fuck about me. You don’t get to do this to us!”

Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out.

We’re approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

During WW2, four brothers from a Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived.

His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky a Hero!

Imagine if Democratic Governors came together as a united front against Elon's fascism? DGAF: Democratic Governors against Fascism. Consider taking a moment to write or call your governor to demand they form an emergency coalition to defend what remains of this nation

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework.
Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there

WIRED is tracking numerous reports of Musk-related shenanigans across the federal govt.

We're looking for fed employees open to discussing the activity they're seeing or to help confirm other reports. Anonymity offered.

Please use @signal.org (contact dell.3030). Do not use work networks/devices.

Google Lifts a Ban on Using Its AI for Weapons and Surveillance Google published principals in 2018 barring its AI technology from being used for sensitive purposes. Weeks into President Donald Trump’s second term, those guidelines are being overhauled.

Giving access to SSNs, other data on government employees to non-employees like Musk is a violation of 5 USC 552a, and carries with it a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed. We are building a case. Govt employees who want to participate should contact me directly

A Coup in Plain Sight: An Explainer as the Crisis Solidifies When reality and conditions shift so quickly, we need to stop and rebuild foundational understanding.

Elon Musk, an unelected, fascist oligarch, has bought the presidency and is carrying out a swift coup to consolidate power.

We need to have a frank conversation about what has happened, what it will mean, and how we must resist this as individuals.
