It’s so important for nurses to stand up. Kudos to the St. Agnes nurses for being the first in Baltimore to do this. #nationalnursesunited #nursesoftiktok #baltimore #nursesunite TikTok video by The Kendra RN

I support the RNs of St. Agnes!

I can see how Hitler happened. The last decade or so in the U.S. makes it easy to imagine. Not just Hitler; the Tulsa race massacre, Rosewood, lynching, slavery, the Rwanda & Rohingya genocides & more. There is a wolf pack evil that lurks in the human heart and it’s easily activated by a demagogue.

Pope Leo XIV's grandparents were 7th Ward Creoles The newly elected pontiff, born in Chicago, has ancestral ties to the city’s historic Seventh Ward, according to genealogists at The Historic New Orleans Collection.

I didn’t give a wit about new pope coverage, but the first American pope being a man with Black ancestry born in Chicago by way of New Orleans by way of Haiti. Names his self after the pope who condemned slavery? In the Trump era? Oh, baebae, I am HERE for it.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

From 'chainsaw' to 'scalpel': Elon Musk's lies about DOGE
YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen From 'chainsaw' to 'scalpel': Elon Musk's lies about DOGE

Remember when Musk boasted he was taking a "chainsaw” to federal programs?

After blowback from Americans all over the country, watch how his DOGE boys are trying to rebrand. They’re not fooling anyone:

We're not done yet | 18F

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:

What the US can learn from South Koreans who stopped an authoritarian power-grab South Koreans reversed a martial law decree in just 6 hours, showing how ordinary citizens and politicians can take fast action to uphold democracy.

It’s coming. Be prepared.

When 47 declares martial law, this is what we do folks

β€œThey’re Scared Shitless”: The Threat of Political Violence Informing Trump’s Grip on Congress With the president smashing norm after norm, even lawmakers within his party have feared for their personal safety, and at least one has told confidants that it has swayed his decision-making.

"even lawmakers within his party have feared for their personal safety, and at least one has told confidants that it has swayed his decision-making"

"Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination"
