The craziest thing about Trump sending armed troops to occupy 19 states is that he’s doing it to distract from being in the Epstein Files and everyone knows it.
there have been three major economic collapses in my adult lifetime and guess which party has been in charge each time? it's almost like their policies don't work.
Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

Has congress passed a law superseding or eliminating the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961?
Has the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional?
Then why are journalists reporting that Trump and Musk are "shutting down" USAID. They are not authorized to do so.
WIRED is tracking numerous reports of Musk-related shenanigans across the federal govt.
We're looking for fed employees open to discussing the activity they're seeing or to help confirm other reports. Anonymity offered.

Getting worse:
“If the freeze is not stopped, I might lose my house."
Some NSF-funded postdocs are having trouble paying rent and credit card bills because their salaries were paused this week, even though the federal funding freeze memo was rescinded.

Wait, a non government entity is seizing control of the Federal treasury right now, and there are people posting about celebrities?
You do know Jay-Z owns prison stocks right? Beyoncé uses sweat shop labor?
America is in a coup and we’re focused on celebrities? What the hell is going on??
Thank you to the Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for writing this letter and posing these questions. How disappointing that not a single one of their Republican colleagues chose to join them. www.foreign.senate.gov/press/dem/re...
USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.
The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!
At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.
57 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016.
These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits.
The profits of Big Oil should not be more important than the future of our planet.
Why are we ignoring the Fourteenth Amendment-Section 3?

I would love to see a bunch of musical artists and celebrities put on a nationally televised tribute concert for Pres. Jimmy Carter on inauguration day with all proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity.
A fair question.
Rewatching "The West Wing," and it's wild that Leo McGarry's past alcohol and prescription drug abuse becomes a huge thing. Meanwhile, in real life, the HHS Secretary-Designate is a (supposedly former) long-time IV heroin user, and that's arguably the least worrisome of his issues.
Today, December 6th, is the 35th anniversary of the 1989 mass murder of 14 women at the École Polytechnique in Montreal.

Students use of AI is out of control.
When men rage, they blow and shoot things up and start wars.
When women rage, we create.
We knit, do embroidery and cross stitch. We create new things ... while we figure out how to fix the broken things.

Ben Franklin was our first Ambassador to France. This guy doesn’t deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence.

There’s normal families, then there’s mine who put all our angst about the political sitch by aggressively correcting each other when we use the wrong pronoun
Former Amazon worker here; do not cross this picket line. Don't do it. Don't even order from them (unless absolutely necessary). They're a disgusting company to work for and the reason for my knee problems that required years of physical therapy.
Fuck Amazon. We stand with the workers! 👊🏻✨
Happy thanksgiving to everyone, except that one student who is not accepting constructive feedback and is instead going to be upset when they earn a low grade on a major assignment. Which will obviously be my fault. 🤦♀️
