They’re NOT Trump’s lawyers.

They’re OUR lawyers.

Every time this comes up, I think of Brother Jack from Ellison's Invisible Man. As you say, identity isn't an obstacle to class solidarity, it's an asset

In my years of reporting on LGBTQ news this was by far the hardest.

But we are still here. You made it to Friday. You lived. Good job. That wasn’t easy.

Through a diversity of tactics, we will continue to live.

Rest up, drink water, find community, so that we can all be here tomorrow too.

Everyone's a revolutionary until it's time to do revolution shit (meetings, logistics, laundry and dishes, actual work).

A thought from the comments, and a terrifying thing I hadn't considered until I read it there, but is it possible that this administration is attempting a holodomor in California?

You have to be trusted
By the people that you lie to
So that when they turn
Their backs on you
You'll get the chance
To put the knife in

They literally should have just sent him a picture...any picture...of water coming out of a dam. That's 100% the only thing he wanted so he could "truth" it on his asinine social media platform and take credit for "turning on the water" in California

Dear Members of the Democratic Party,

Y’all need to stop asking me for money right now. Read the fucking room

If I were a CEO right now, I would place my bet on becoming THE place that attracted BIPOC talent.

There is sooo much incredible talent on the market currently and I would make my company one that everyone aspires to work for and with.

Talk about a strategic advantage and market domination

if you cared about morale and recruitment you would not alienate a group that disproportionately enlists into the military, but if you are a white nationalist…

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are πŸ“‰

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them.

But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

I urge us all to take a deep breath and take the time to truly understand the executive orders but not to over-comply, or to get overly bogged down. Do not give up your sovereignty, autonomy, and imagination.

This is a slap in the face to American women.

Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations.

Our troops deserve better.

very excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised addict the leader of the department of defense and subordinate to a madman

Well, crap.

Apply this as you see fit.

So many possibilities.

This is the real question. And the boards of Tesla, Boring and whatever other companies he owns are failing in their fiduciary duty if they’re not having emergency meetings to address his mental state.

They absolutely buried TikTok in a Pet Sematary because what was resurrected was NOT what was laid to rest.

We’re about to find out that sometimes dead is better, real quick.

This refers to "rank and file DOGE staff." Ok, I'll bite. Who are they? Where are they? What is their source of funding? Who pays their salaries? Is DOGE a government entity? Which Congressional committee has oversight? Is it a business? Registered in what state? Is it a nonprofit? Is it tax-exempt?
