Read & Resist – February 25

Read & Resist – February 25. I know it’s dated. (How odd to suggest, just a few days makes something *dated* – I remember the world BEFORE BREAKING NEWS!) Anyhow, the content remains important to share.

My little space where I share links from credible (non-knee bending) sources. Read, share, or just skim through the headlines. Pay attention.

• Sound and Fury: Authoritarian Madness and Authoritarian Action – “Megalomania is never a good look. It corrodes. It repels. It repulses.”
• Life After Amazon & Target: How to Boycott  – “More importantly, I’ve been trying to reduce my consumerism overall because I don’t want this administration to have any good economic news whatsoever. “
• Letters from an American – February 23, 2025 – “It’s a good week to remember that politicians used to use as a yardstick the saying: “As Maine goes, so goes the nation.”
• The SAVE Act Would Disenfranchise Millions of Citizens – “…the reality is that more than 140 million American citizens do not possess a passport and as many as 69 million women who have taken their spouse’s name do not have a birth certificate matching their legal name.”
• Neo-Nazi group plots rebuild as Trump’s FBI chief takes helm, audio reveals – “Are we just going to be reactionary? Or are we going to be part of the solution? The military solution…The voice then describes a “black scenario” where the US government soon collapses and there’s a need to “provide for your family” and for “white women”.
• How Dan Bongino Went From Infowars to FBI Deputy Director – “Bongino…has no FBI experience—a trait he shares with Kash Patel, the QAnon-promoting Trump loyalist who was last week confirmed as the new director of the FBI.”
• Trump’s Medicaid Cuts Would Leave Millions of Americans Without Health Care – It’s chilling…on so, so, so many levels. “…rollbacks on Medicaid expansion will lead rural hospitals to close, given that nearly 14 million Medicaid enrollees live in rural areas.”
• Elon Musk Pushes for Global Neo-Nazi Regime Change. The World Is Fighting Back – “The superrich have amassed so much power in the United States that they now think they can use the government to promote a global assault on democracy.”
