"We’re watching the very class of public servants who protect our democracy — the only ones capable of stopping a coup against the U.S. Constitution — being dismantled and replaced right before our eyes.

The Shutdown Is Wreaking Havoc on Military Families and Veterans
The Trump administration is using the government shutdown to lay off federal workers, while leaving active-duty military wondering about their pay.

Dear Fellow Earthlings,

A small group of Super Villains has created a giant AI monster and fed it the entire (and quickly vanishing) Internet.

We'll be forced (with increasing invasiveness) to interact with said monster to access info that was previously at our fingertips.

How far will it go?

“Comedy is the greatest way to attack anything like a totalitarian regime. They can't stand it," Ray Bradbury said. "At the end of the speech, [Chaplin] dares to remind you that you don't have to go on killing. You don't have to be a totalitarian."

Great article, @npr.org!!

Trump just bombed six more people in the Caribbean, for a total of 27 civilians who have been killed so far by the US military. It’s illegal for the military to target civilians who do not pose an immediate threat. This is murder.

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.

Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim.

Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen.

Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

This is the same Speaker who has repeatedly refused to put up the congressionally-mandated plaque honoring the Capitol Police members who were viciously assaulted by MAGA goons on January 6th.

We've seen your deeds, you oily liar.

“So many politicians’ careers now depend on ignoring the fact that Donald Trump tried to overthrow democracy. Keeping the plaque from being installed — and keeping Officer Dunn and Hodges’s sacrifice from being remembered — is essential to those politicians’ political success,”

This is horrible!!
