[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Why are our screen addicted children being taught on yet more screens? A webinar featuring the great Jonathan Haidt (“The Anxious Generation), the Swedish edu minister, experts and me https://t.co/clTGw8gFml via @YouTube

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Wow. This UK Comedian just demolished MAGA.

Watch until the end. I promise.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Wow. The UK’s Jonathan Pie just demolished Donald Trump.

Trump is humiliating us on the world stage.

[Jonathan Haidt @JonHaidt]

I just watched one of the best talks ever given on what smartphones, social media, and ed-tech are doing to childhood and education. From Sophie Winkleman.

If you question the wisdom of the screen-based school day, you must watch, just 20 minutes:

If you watch one thing today, make it this interview from last night in which the former head of M16 explains that Trump is a moron, that Europe must get hugely armed and fast because Russians are coming.

I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place.

I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.

@_SharonThornton There is a worldwide phenomenon with these cases.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

Donald Trump's attempt to flood the zone is not a sign of strength – it’s an attempt to project strength, and to convince you that he’s more powerful than he is.

Don’t let him.

Stand up, speak out, and remember that democracy depends on those who refuse to be silenced.

[Harry Sisson @harryjsisson]

Wow! Look at all of this funding to SpaceX, one of Elon Musk’s companies! I’m sure Musk and Trump are going to clean up this wasteful spending and not increase it, right???

[Anonymous @YourAnonCentral]

Trump announces Christian Nationalism Czar, vows to "eradicate anti-Christian bias" will start by erasing Christ.

Always good to have a view from the inside from those living through the dismantling of government.

[Zach W. Lambert @ZachWLambert]

I was hungry, but you took free lunch out of schools.

I was thirsty, but you cut humanitarian aid funding for clean water.

I was a stranger, but you sent ICE agents into my church to arrest me.

I was sick, but you took away my healthcare coverage.

I was in prison, but you left me there because you profited off of it.

Whatever you did to the least of these, my siblings, you did to me.

(how I think Jesus would have phrased Matthew 25 if he was preaching in America today)

[Carlos A. Rodríguez @CarlosHappyNPO]

Jesus never called his followers to defend Christianity, a “Christian nation,” or even their Christian churches.

Jesus called them to defend the poor, the oppressed, and the hurting.

Stop manipulating Jesus for the benefit of a few. Get to feeding, healing, and peacemaking.

Murphy: "The reality is this could get dystopian very quickly. If you were to start speaking ill of Elon Musk on social media, Elon Musk might be able to stop or delay your tax refund, or your mom's Social Security benefit, in part because we have no window into what's happening at Treasury right now."

Kennedy: To my friends who are upset.. call somebody who cares. You better get used to this. It’s USAID today, it’s going to be the Department of Education tomorrow.

[Turnbull @cturnbull1968]

Democratic leaders are not prepared for this moment. They’re writing letters while Republicans are taking hostages.

You don’t combat propaganda with logic, you overwhelm it.

Here are some examples:

1. Our sources are telling us that up to 500K Americans may not receive their SS checks because their data was tampered with.

2. You don’t refer to Elon’s team as young kids, you call them hackers.

3. We have reports that the social security numbers and personal data of over 10M Americans was sold on the dark web just last week by some hackers at USAID.

4. A whistleblower is telling us that Trump has redirected over $25B in payments from Treasury to his businesses.

5. We have reports that Trump is shuttering the VA to pay for his Sovereign Wealth Fund.

Wake up and start playing the game by the same rules as the opposition. Also, put the geriatric members of the party in the back and your young members in the front, for fucks sale.
