Friends, it’s so easy to become demoralized as we suffer blow after blow from this admin. It’s ok to take a breathe and unplug. Then get back into the fight. We still have tools to use. Hit the streets. Get to town halls. Be loud. #speakup

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are trying to make you believe that they are cutting “waste,” but they’re actually reaching into your wallet to fund tax cuts for their “rich as hell” friends.

Spread the word.

2 things can be true at the same time:

1. America’s universities are under attack & it is a crisis
2. OMG Harvard is NOT “the soul of higher education” & its crises pale in comparison—“pale” feels too weak a word— to what state, regional, & community colleges—ie the actual soul of US higher ed—face

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
18f.org

On all sides, this country has taken the classic approach to Elon’s blatant misogyny, which is to simply pretend it doesn’t exist. If you point to Elon’s pungent blend of toxic masculinity, misogyny, and paternalism, all sides will happily say, get a sense of humor. His kid is so cute. Relax.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

So far it hasn't affect my brunches.... 😬

Please take care of yourselves.

this is just the dumbest possible way for an empire to collapse

Nobody comply.

A question I’d really like to see reporters start asking members of Congress—of *both* parties:

If the Trump administration starts openly defying court orders, what (if anything) are you going to do about it?

Welcome to the United States of ‘Broligarchy, Inc.’ America’s descent into a broligarchy was an inevitable, steady, and calculated takeover of the country’s wealth, Supreme Court, political parties, and presidency by a cabal of selfish billionaires.

Tariffs, you say?

Trump signs order imposing tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China American importers will pay a new 25-percent tax on goods from Canada and Mexico and a 10-percent levy on products from China.

Tariffs are an important strategic economic tool, but Trump’s desire for a trade war with Canada and Mexico won’t protect jobs, keep Americans safe, or bring down costs for families.

Trump's America in education:
Mon - hour on the phone with a Govt facutly member who is getting death threats

Tues - served on a judicial review committee where a student threatened and berated us for almost an hour

Wed - bomb threat at my daughter's high school and we are waiting for updates

The chaotic ass emails we are getting at work! Universities are not okayyyyyy.

If she can do it, we can all do it.

I will read, I will research, I will stay informed, and I will try to educate, but I will also do my best to avoid hearing his voice or seeing his face for the next four years.

My pledge to myself.

@aoc.bsky.social on Instagram, answering the question of whether she's going to the inauguration: "I don't celebrate rapists."

It's not that hard.

In a few hours, America will officially be colonized by a White African immigrant who stole an American job.
