If you want a general strike we need at least 10 million people to commit to ensure a successful action. The numbers are still too low. Use a burner email and name if needed to sign. Sign here: generalstrikeus.com #3E #GSUS #GeneralStrike

Of course she did. Of COURSE she did. They ALL probably did. 🤦🏼. They knew the plan. It used to be called insider trading but they fired the people who investigate that, so 🤷🏼. #maddow #FDT #BlueCrew #TrumpSlump #trumptarrifs#Trumpcession #trumpflation #resist #inners #lawrence #UnfitToServe

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc. Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight? scienceimpacts.org H/T to Prathima !

A couple of years ago, I noticed that Dems were losing ground with Latino voters. I launched a Spanish-language YouTube channel to reach those people. That channel is now on its way to 300,000 subscribers and has nearly 50 million views. We have be aggressive and go into spaces we're not already in.

And to remind folks, I'm pretty much the only lawyer on that list who holds everyone accountable www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/belt...

So, let me understand this. Senior leadership messaged an unauthorized journalist on a publicly available app with national defense/classified information about an impending military strike. And this Administration revoked MY security clearance?
American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

A really powerful WWII era "don't be a sucker" piece, that explains how authoritarians have to separate and destroy groups of people so they can take power. I don't usually watch anything this long (22 min) but couldn't stop watching once I started this.
Please watch and rewatch this movie, in the U.S. Archives from the @usarmy.bsky.social #DontBeASucker a reminder of how the Nazis conned their country into becoming the cause of mass murder and all the other horrors that Nazis unleash. The lessons are true for the USA🇺🇸 , in 2025 youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4
