For all the discussion of doxxing federal agents, there’s essentially no discussion of how those agents are taking steps that attach severe punitive measures that stretch across wide swaths of the federal bureaucracy against people acting lawfully.

It would be so much easier for creative thinkers to THINK and come up with new, fresh, vital ideas if we weren't all being worked past our capacity just to survive while facing existential threats from fascism.

In addition to money donations to food banks & food aid for people, please also consider donating money or food & litter to pet food pantries. Many people who rely on SNAP to feed themselves will now need to redirect $ to buy groceries that they would have spent on pet food before.

A Ballot Measure Targets Mail Voting in Maine - Bolts Question 1, on the November ballot, would set up a barrage of new restrictions on absentee ballots that would considerably affect older voters and people with disabilities.

Maine will vote in under two weeks on a measure that would make voting a lot harder for a lot of people, including disabled folks, older folks, and anyone who struggles to meet strict ID requirements.

If passed, this would really reshape voting in 2026.

Worth a read if you have a uterus. Or have friends with a uterus. You don't always plan to get pregnant, and it can be extremely overwhelming (especially right now) when so much is stressful and you don't know how to trust. We keep us safe.

Confusion, Anger, Relief: Korean Engineer Tells of Week in U.S. ICE Detention More than 300 employees at a Hyundai battery plant returned home after being detained in a Georgia immigration raid.

It should be way bigger news that Trump effectively killed any attempt by foreign countries to build new factories in the United States with this idiotic ICE move. Just incalculable long term damage.

How Fascism Erases Our History YouTube video by Jessie Gender

NEW VIDEO – youtu.be/_vU5wwwkoB0

This one is about how fascism doesn’t just rewrite history—it erases it. The grief of what’s been lost. The people, the stories, the futures we’ll never get back because someone decided they didn’t belong in the record. This video is me trying to make sense of it.

I am so worried about friends I hear using chatGPT to make financial decisions - my loved ones( & myself myself included) already have access issues to good, sensible financial advice and this trash is going to lead to so many poor decisions because of the bias that is poured in.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

The Senate’s version of Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill would see the General Services Administration take possession of the nearly 7,200 new postal EVs and associated infrastructure and put the assets up for auction. The proposal is unlikely to generate much revenue for the government; there is almost no private-sector interest in the mail trucks, and used EV charging equipment — built specifically for the Postal Service and already installed in postal facilities — generally cannot be resold.

“The funds realized by auctioning the vehicles and infrastructure would be negligible. Much of infrastructure is literally buried under parking lots, and there is no market for used charging equipment,” Peter Pastre, the Postal Service’s vice president for government relations and public policy, wrote to senators this month.

👀 Scoop: Trump and Republicans want USPS to sell off its brand new EVs and chargers.

That would mean literally **ripping up post office parking lots** to auction off assets with no private-sector value.

It’s buried in the Senate’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

There was a survey a few weeks ago that found half of Americans thought ICE was just hunting criminals. The institutional press have failed to make clear ICE’s primary strategy today is capturing people through the use of compliance traps, and shipping them off to substandard prisons in the South.
