If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

A Message to the US Senate
A message to the US Senate: America is watching. Patel, Gabbard, and RFK are more than just unfit. They are a danger to our country, and to our people's safety. Use your vote to protect the people you represent. History will remember your choice.

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. Donโt take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are ๐

How about

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isnโt just uncouth or โcontroversialโ but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Why is the federal government blowing over $800K on a huge military plane to deport just 79 immigrants to Guatemala, when a regular flight used to cost us $100K?
Itโs all for show! And the truthโthey werenโt rapists, murderers, or criminals.

The USAF removed Tuskegee Airmen & Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII from basic training curriculum. For 30 years I promised these women I would not let them ever be forgotten again. We worked for decades to have them remembered. The Airmen too. Knowledge is power. ๐๏ธ www.msn.com/en-us/societ...
