"Let me say this more clearly: what is happening right now, in America, in real time, is a coup."

"This is an information war and this is what a coup now looks like."

"Musk didn’t need a tank, guns, soldiers. He had a small crack cyber unit that he sent into the Treasury department last weekend. He now has unknown quantities of the entire US nation’s most sensitive data and potential backdoors into the system going forward."

Google didn't really have to adopt the new name of #gulfofmexico #gulfofamerica . The orange guy's executive order was for the federal government structures to use the new name. Everyone is free to use the established name.

Aurora teachers offer a glimpse into their classrooms on the day of immigration raids

“Fifth graders know about warrants. Fifth graders shouldn’t have to know about warrants,” he said. “We have kids who are resilient in ways I wish they didn’t have to be.”

I have a question about our orange wannabe dictator's statement about reversing Biden's ban on plastic straws.

Did Joe Biden ever ban plastic straws and if not why does our media, both social and mainstream, repeat his claims without that disclaimer?

All, I've found is that the National Park Service proposed phasing out single-use plastics for their vendors by 2032.

I just noticed that www.disability.gov is gone now. I never used it but it was a good resource for folks who are newly disabled. Another example of govt sites disappearing. Makes me feel physically sick.
