i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them

A white woman recently took to TikTok in shock after being fired.

She expressed surprise, believing perhaps that DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) hires were exclusively people of color.

However, a lesser-known fact is that white women are the largest demographic of DEI hires in the U.S.

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

I saw/heard this quote on TikTok, but it stuck with me.

"Maybe you don't realize how good you're doing, because you keep raising the fu--ing bar."

Such a good reminder for first thing on a Monday morning

Well, if I learned anything from the last 24 hours of coffee discourse it’s that I have learned nothing and am perfectly willing to let Trump be the conductor of the rhythms of my mind.

The United States is officially in a trade war with Colombia because of Donald Trump.

JUST IN: A new H5N9 bird flu variant has been found in U.S. poultry for the first time at a California duck farm.

This variant, linked to the dangerous H5N1 strain, has led to the culling of nearly 119,000 birds to stop the outbreak.

my plan to throw coffee beans at houses instead of eggs has been foiled

It’s wild to have two cats and have one of them be just so much more dumb.

FINALLY we are seeing some pushback from SOMEBODY! Lawyer up, Donnie

All I’m saying is that the white women on TikTok crying about not getting the target special edition of Onyx storm also look like they probably would’ve bullied me in high school for reading books, fanfic, and for just being in fandoms

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

This is a slap in the face to American women.

Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations.

Our troops deserve better.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.

Trump pardoned a child molester.

Not sure I’m cut out for this.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

Hey um…children of illegal immigrants, please stop posting on TikTok that your parents/family aren’t here legally 🥲
