I walked out onto the river ant dusk tonight. The Susitna is calm along her edges, Denali to the north and Orion to the west. The long sun is coming and the cold wind still blows. Life is good in the North.

Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.

Trump's Interior Dept leaders are directing staff to submit a list of accomplishments to this new email address:

accomplishments@doi.gov

Imagine if people everywhere -- accomplishments@doi.gov -- flooded this email address -- accomplishments@doi.gov -- with random accomplishments from last week.

so anyway now that the weekend's over, I can't WAIT to be forced to go into the office tomorrow just to log on and see a(nother) shitty, illegal, terrorizing email from fElon 🫠

Join us in solidarity—fly your American flag upside down, the traditional signal of distress and extreme emergency.

I miss when doge was a silly dog meme

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

Wait they're not actually honoring their (illegal) word? I'm SO SURPRISED

While Trump “floods the zone,” we must stay focused. 

NO to oligarchy, tax breaks for the rich and cuts to working class programs. NO to authoritarianism and unlimited power for one man.

YES to growing the union movement and raising wages. YES to health care as a human right.

USAID was investigating Starlink

CFPB was the agency preventing dodgy financial maneuvers like X becoming a bank

Musk is systematically (and illegally) going after the agencies that constraint his business interests

SO glad you saw him!!!!!!!!! We do love having you!!!!! Really glad you got to have that conversation. Hail Orpheus!!!! 💞

Photo is not mine, found in a Newsweek article/anonymous photographer.

The USA is in distress. We need to come together.

If it's taking too long though, just go through and download each separately. Annoying but worth it.

I would listen, I mean, she's the boss!

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees:

Don’t accept a buyout.

Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer.

And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it?

Sincerely,

Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

Is Elon Musk Staging a Coup? Unelected Billionaire Seizes Control at Treasury Dept. & Other Agencies

Elon Musk now has access to your Social Security number. The world’s richest man has gained access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States.

The Trump administration’s rebranded Schedule F policy aims to reclassify federal employees in policy roles as at-will, removing civil service protections. This will politicize agencies by allowing dismissals based on political alignment.

The Trump Administration’s action to suspend all federal grants & loans will have a devastating impact on the health and well-being of millions of children, seniors on fixed incomes, and the most vulnerable people in our country.

It is a dangerous move towards authoritarianism.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's intentional. They're calling it "flooding the zone." The intent is to overwhelm and exhaust us so we can not effectively resist. Something simple you can do right now now is to make sure to take breaks and rest.

While we may face repercussions for this, the truth lies in the metadata. Memos to federal employees are being authored by individuals with ties to Project 2025. You can verify this yourself.

We need to pay attention to this now before it’s too late.

Trump is trying to bully our allies Canada, Colombia, Denmark, and Panama, threatening tariffs if they don't do what he says.

Really?

What about imposing tariffs on drug companies that charge us 10 times more than other countries pay for the same drug?

i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them
