All the folks who exited NBC today. Seen together, hoo boy. Message received.

On behalf of Vera Rubin, Jocelyn Bell Burnell, Henrietta Swan Leavitt, Judy Resnik, Christa McAuliffe, Kalpana Chawla, Laurel Clark, Valentina Tereshkova, Sally Ride, Peggy Whitson, Mae Jemison, Jasmin Moghbeli, and and *countless others*, I raise by both middle fingers to Trump and Project2025.

welp

This is a *remarkable* message. Although phrased politely and with no hint of disobedience, Acting FBI Director Driscoll is making clear to all that he's not onboard with Trump's purge.

I would expect him to be removed from his position if they can find someone more willing to do Trump's bidding.

Trump, Energy and MAGA Brain Drilling down on a right-wing delusion

Worth noting: Trump is not pushing to remove undocumented people from red states like he is big city Democratic-led areas. These people are essential workers. Is it policy or is it punishment? www.cnn.com/2025/01/24/b... Trump is targeting the immigrants who will be called on to rebuild LA

Do you know what they called Germans in the 1930s who didn't really love Hitler deep in their hearts, but went along with Nazi stuff, and did things like Nazi salutes, because they enjoyed how it upset groups the Nazis targeted and other non-Nazis?

Nazis. They called people who did that Nazis.

I hope local news outlets all over the country are doing this. People should know if pardoned J6-ers who assaulted cops are returning to their communities, and what they did.

Before the election, I warned that Trump would pardon all of the Jan. 6 defendants and some of them would form the core of a new rightwing paramilitary organization loyal to Trump.

Lots of institutions and leaders have capitulated. In the days to come, even more will bend a knee. They want it seem inevitable or smart. It is not.

That is why I wrote that those of us committed to standing up against Trump are on our own. But, together we can fight and when we fight we will win.
