Here’s tonight’s 60 Minutes piece on the silencing of the Voice of America. https://www.cbsnews.com/video/voice-of-america-sunday-on-60-minutes/

@w7voa thanks for continuing to get the word out .

@skinnylatte WOW, just wow.

Given the news that DOD and CISA have stopped protecting the US from Russian hacking, I keep thinking of this tweet. xcancel.com/realDonaldTr...

@w7voa thank you for keeping us informed Steve.

@janetate almost reminds me of the old Facebook motto, 'move fast and break things'

This town voted for the Face-Eating Leopard. The Leopard has promised to eat their faces.

Funny how democracy doesn't protect voters from their own stupidity.

Thanks @raynetoday . I really appreciate when people use this language to make a fine point. I also love the clowns with flamethrowers analogy.

It's pointless to be getting upset about Hegseth's confirmation hearing. He's just the first of a long parade of christofascist loyalists with no qualifications to go through this process and most, if not all, will probably be confirmed.

Over the next 90 days there will be a flurry of Executive Orders that will fundamentally change our country. Along with those will be some of the most repulsive bills that Congress has ever taken up, and most will probably become law.

Getting viscerally upset about each of these things will exhaust you. It will wreck your mental health. Anxiety and depression will bring you to a grinding halt and stop you from taking action.

Limit your exposure to the news. Try to engage locally, we really can't do anything about stuff at the federal level.

This is for me more than anything.

No one is coming. It's up to us.

From the authoritarian regime survival guide:

"Oppose any legislation attempting to interfere with freedom of assembly, for whatever reason."

Mask bans are a gateway to wider bans on all forms of protest. We should be do everything we can to stop them.
