Please respect the decisions of those who’ve chosen to leave ICE. Many federal employees want no part in this. The Trump administration is deliberately pushing people out forcing them to choose between their jobs and their conscience.

Excerpt from this NYT essay that says: What is happening now is not normal politics. We're seeing an assault on the fundamental institutions of our civic life, things we should all swear loyalty to β€” Democrat, independent or Republican.
It's time for a comprehensive national civic uprising. It's time for Americans in universities, law, business, nonprofits and the scientific community, and civil servants and beyond to form one coordinated mass movement. Trump is about power. The only way he's going to be stopped is if he's confronted by some movement that possesses rival power.

Longtime conservative writer David Brooks wrote an opinion essay for the New York Times yesterday in which he calls for a bipartisan β€œnational civic uprising” with enough power to stop Donald Trump.

This whole thing is worth reading, but this section is especially stunning…

Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards Scientists, with expertise in fields that include mental health, cancer and infectious disease, typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal.

Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.

Harvard University Harvard University is devoted to excellence in teaching, learning, and research, and to developing leaders who make a difference globally.

Harvard not only told trump to buzz off; they also redid their whole website and, i am not being facetious, it slaps. This is the work they want to defund. Let's everybody learn about it.

Every single β€œinvestment expert β€œ is emphasizing diversification to include investment in other stock markets. And that will extend to private markets and start ups.

It’s possible to export your smartest people, hire overseas , and fund their business at a fraction of costs you face here. Insane

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.

So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

We cannot abandon this young man- a gay makeup artist sent to El Salvador's notorious prison, by a disgraced former Milwaukee cop with major credibility issues
He is Andry HernΓ‘ndez Romero.

God knows what will happen to him. Call your representatives. Call the WH.

Trump is trying to quietly wrest control of a top federal civil rights board He wants to demote the Democratic chair and replace her with a hand-picked Republican.

β€œThey’ve been relentlessly dismantling every single civil rights agency in the federal government, and this could be the last one standing.”

Garza added that she is β€œprepared to challenge any attempt to illegally remove me as chairwoman.”

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculousβ€”they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina.

The October Story That Outlined Exactly What the Trump Administration Would Do to the Federal Bureaucracy Historians have hindsight when they look into the past; journalists have the facts on the ground and context to help them look ahead. That means we can sometimes be surprised by how prescient a story…

An October 2024 story about Russell Vought captured the breadth and ferocity of the coming attack on the federal government.

So why didn’t this story drive more of a national conversation when it appeared?
