@durbin.senate.gov i will personally be door knocking for anyone running against you. you should be ashamed.

Trump preps order to dismantle Education Dept. as DOGE probes data Closing the agency would require congressional approval, so the new administration hopes to diminish it in the meantime.

If Trump dismantles the Dept. of Education, he will be jeopardizing public education for our most vulnerable communities.

Rural schools. Low-income areas. Special ed teachers and students with disabilities.

Our families, kids, and teachers deserve more.

look I’m no messaging expert but it seems like the American people might be interested to know that Donald Trump just gave our social security numbers to a teen called BigBalls

Friendly reminder that those of us in red states who didn’t vote for this shit show can see what y’all say about us.

We see you laughing at our suffering without realizing it’s not just republicans who are impacted, and we hope you know that we’ll never get out of this mess with that mindset.

i can’t help but crave the peaceful ignorance people who think politics have nothing to do with anyone around them have.

My anxiety is thru the roof, I hope 9 cups of coffee & 14 hours on social media helps

Every time I remember Stephen Miller designed this rush of orders to burn me out specifically I get a new burst of energy from the spite alone. The very thought of my exhaustion giving him an ounce of joy makes me want to burst through walls

enough is enough. democratic leadership in congress needs to act now and text me saying they need five to ten dollars

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.”

The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

Fund and protect science communicators. It is evident we will soon be targeted by the current administration, but our work is only growing more important by the day.

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.

Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

again tapping the sign: please support Wikipedia and other quality information sources - especially local news, double especially newsrooms that are worker owned and reader funded

LOOKING BACK: This all began with Reagan's repeal of the Fairness Doctrine. News stopped bring a regulated public service....

RESIST.
Don't quit.
Don't stop fighting.
Don't obey in advance.
Don't stop calling them out.
Keep raising your voices as loudly as you can.
Keep organizing your friends, family, everyone.
Keep supporting orgs that are leading the fight.

RESIST.

it can’t be said enough, after months of saying he’s hitler, going and welcoming hitler home to run the free world is crazy

Dear climate scientists and activists,

Please be mindful of what you post publicly because I can guarantee you that young people will take it out of context and assume things are hopeless.

Sincerely,

A climate communicator tired of dealing with suicidal messages from kids citing your posts

Panel 1: Mark Zuckerberg stands on the stage at a Meta all-hands meeting, wearing a little chain and a shirt that says "Cool Dude." "I think our company could use more Masculine Energy," he says into a mic. In the crowd, an employee raises their hand. "Excuse me, Mr. Zuckerberg," the person asks. Panel 2: The person stands up, asking, "By "Masculine Energy," do you mean a mature definition where men in power use their relative strength to protect and uplift those less privileged?" Panel 3: The person continues, "…or a more childish definition where men in power are free to be aggressive and harm others without being held accountable?" Panel 4: Zuck stands silent for a beat. Panel 5: "You're all fired," he says.

"Masculine Energy"

i love you chicago

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

A graphic with the quote, "Finally. After nearly 15 months, innocent Palestinian children can soon go to bed without worrying whether bombs will destroy their families, houses, and livelihoods. The Israeli government’s bombardment of Gaza will end and the hostages will be brought home. We must remain vigilant and ensure this is a lasting ceasefire that paves the way for peace and security for Palestinians and Israelis."

Congressman Casar stands with Education and Labor Committee Ranking Member Bobby Scott.

As the new vice ranking member of the Education and Labor Committee, here’s what I think:

Congress should work for workers, not for the oligarchs and corrupt CEOs.

Carrie Underwood has a lot of stuff I don’t, like an incredible singing voice and millions of dollars, but I have something she doesn’t have, and that is integrity.

It’s so interesting because I don’t know a single person in my daily life who enjoys or is excited about AI. But from my understanding every workplace is enforcing or using it, and Apple is putting it in updates.
