National parks ordered to police 'negative' history under Trump directive The U.S. Interior secretary signed an order for national parks to remove any negative depictions of U.S. history.

What's next - rewriting the Junior Ranger pledge to include, "And I promise to report to the regime anything I see here that doesn't align with one person's worldview." ?

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.

A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

For all those people who think β€œthe left got more radical,” this is what the evolution of the GOP has looked like over the past few years.

It's time to speak up for fired public lands employees! ✊

Illegally fired staff at Department of the Interior (including NPS) have NOT been reinstated, even though Forest Service staff have been

Some federal workers are going back to work.

The USDA has been ordered to temporarily give over 5,000 workers their jobs back.

Dozens of CDC scientists have been reinstated after being illegally fired.

The National Science Foundation has rehired half of the workers it fired.

I feel like making art is a form of resistance.

Because as long as you’re making something beautiful, you’re not letting the regime steal your joy.

America is standing up. Let’s keep the momentum goingβ€”more protests are planned for next week. Together, we can stop this coup.

Remember, the resistance won’t be televised.

Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities.

That means:
🚫 No gas from corporate giants
🚫 No fast food chains
🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
