Trump was working remotely just last week

Charlie Kirk attacks Selena Gomez for posting a tearful video and having compassion for migrant children

we have a president with a tenuous grip on small legislative majorities who is out of the gate with a flurry of dramatically unpopular orders and who has just demonstrated his weakness on the international stage. if i were an elected member of his domestic opposition, i might try to draw real blood.

We have 3 main jobs:
-spend as little money as you can at mega corporations.
-make Trump and his Nazi followers' lives as miserable as possible.
-help the innocent people they are targeting.

Trump fires at least 12 independent inspectors general in late-night purge The dismissals could clear the way for the president to install loyalists in the crucial role of identifying fraud, waste and abuse in the government.

Get ready for the most corrupt administration since Warren Harding.

Harvard wants to forget slavery.

It would also probably prefer if you forgot that Harvard invented napalm, which burnt more civilians to death than the atom bomb killed during WW2, plus another 200k women, children, and elderly people in N. Vietnam and Cambodia.

Look, we tried to warn people. At this point, the only way out is through. Trump will precipitate a collapse and only then can we rebuild towards a better future. Our goal is to minimize the number of people we lose along the way. Build community, help others. Resilience is all we have.

their view is that high status jobs ought to belong to white men, who exist at the top of a natural hierarchy

Travis in Atlanta earlier in the week. I really enjoyed it.

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience.

What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?

Israeli women were treated with dignity during their captivity. In contrast, a UN report highlights the mistreatment of Palestinian women in Israeli jails, and how they are “subjected to sexual assault, stripped naked and searched by male Israeli army officers”, and threatened with sexual violence.

Israelis get universal healthcare while Americans fund their country's existence.

Now "conservative" Vern Buchanan wants to invest MORE money into Israeli healthcare and tech:

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

* Currently paused by Executive Order
** Grant reviews now all canceled

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.

Palestinians were given a “ceasefire” in Gaza, in exchange for troop invasion of the West Bank.

But please, forge ahead with your headlines of “peace” in the region.

Gazans return home . . . to nothing Following the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, many Palestinians find only sand, twisted metal and shredded concrete where they used to live

Gazans return home, to nothing: "Where roads, shops and gardens once stood, people found only sand, twisted metal and shredded concrete... people had not realised the places they knew could become so unrecognisable." www.ft.com/content/ab6c...

Rescuers Have Recovered 200 Bodies From Rubble in Gaza, With 10,000 More Buried Officials estimate that 2,840 people’s bodies were evaporated entirely by Israeli attacks.

Rescuers in Gaza have already recovered hundreds of bodies from under the rubble in Gaza in less than a week since the ceasefire began, Gaza officials reported on Wednesday, with thousands more Palestinians’ bodies still trapped under the rubble.

Got out to do something fun for a change 🙏😊

This is a class war.

We need true campaign finance reform to fix it.The only way to get that is through a third party.The only way to get a successful third party is if people on both left and right realize that we are not each other's enemy & we are both being played by the real enemy: the billionaires. Thoughts?

Corporate control of the democratic party is a major part of the problem. The democratic does not prioritize the common person first.
