Good morning, Bluesky💙
Kindness isn't about material wealth or endless time; it's about small intentional moments of connection.
What can you give when you have nothing to give?
Your Attention.
A Compliment.
Patience.
Smile.
Forgiveness.
Your Presence.

This is an excellent point, and great way to make impact more tangible to legislators.
Can’t get through? Call your congressperson/senators.
Go to THEIR district offices.
They are in the business of constituent services, so it’s their job to help. Meanwhile, you motivate them to push back.

I have been hearing from people that they have been having issues accessing their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please share!

Legal counsel representing federal employees is now being targeted by the Trump administration. Law firms are receiving a clear message that retaliation is possible for those advocating on behalf of individuals or groups opposing the administration’s agenda.

BREAKING: Trump State Department To Buy $400m of Tesla Cybertrucks In DEI Procurement Process
The Tesla order appears in the State Department Procurement Forecast which was created explicitly to give disadvantaged companies a fair chance to bid.
In other words, it's an explicit DEI program. 👇

BILL H.R.1161 was introduced to authorize the President to enter into negotiations to acquire Greenland and to rename Greenland as "Red, White, and Blueland".
This is real. We are in the worst simulation ever.

One way to think about the DOGE effort is it's an outgrowth of 20 years of hardliner conservatives frustrated by their inability to get the votes in Congress to do what they want to do. 1/

Wait … they … 𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙙 ???
This Politico story from last October shows how easy it is to launder lies through the press. It claimed Trump would ban anyone tied to Project 2025 from a job in a second Trump administration.
“Clearly people working on Project 2025 are blacklisted,” said an unidentified Trump insider. 1/4🧵

The names include conservatives linked to Project 2025 and Republicans viewed as disloyal to the former president.

Top Dem on the House Intel Committee Jim Himes says in a statement that he understands that the White House “insisted” on the CIA transmitting the list in an unclassified email
New via NYT — The CIA sent the White House an unclassified email listing all employees hired by the spy agency over the last two years to comply with an executive order to shrink the federal work force. One former agency officer called the reporting of names a “counterintelligence disaster.”

The media is failing abjectly in how it is framing what this administration is doing.
Has congress passed a law superseding or eliminating the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961?
Has the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional?
Then why are journalists reporting that Trump and Musk are "shutting down" USAID. They are not authorized to do so.
