For those of us in America......that actually READ some of the books they want destroyed......

I need you to post every day, because no one in my life is talking about ANYTHING.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him.

He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons.

He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him.

He’s defying the Supreme Court.

Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

Ok, but John Deere is no friend to the worker or the farmer. Their business practices are abysmal.

YouTube video by Zach Zimmerman Live from the Kennedy Center (while it is still the Kennedy Center) | a stand-up comedy special

Last Friday, comic @zzdoublezz.bsky.social performed at the Kennedy Center, which had very recently canceled a scheduled performance by the Gay Men’s Chorus.
So, Zach invited the chorus on stage to sing during his show instead. They sang "the gayest song we know"

Congress was denied entry to both the U.S. Department of Education and the Treasury, where Musk staffers blocked the doors. Along with its appropriations responsibilities, Congress holds oversight authority over federal agencies. Blocking congressional access to these agencies is illegal.

don’t get overwhelmed! pick 2-3 things and focus your energy there. for example, I am:
- crying in my morning coffee
- making a list of people I would like to catapult out to sea
- staring out the window

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Somewhere in the future, a decendent of Lin-Manuel Miranda will be trying to find a rhyming word for “orange,” and find himself coming up short. Words that may be more easily rapped: liar, monster, traitor, rapist, swindler, and…hmmm, what rhymes with “yahtzee?” #BroadwayCares #EquityFightsAids

Okay, pardon us, but F this. America, you’ve got to stand up.

We could have had a competent black woman as president and instead we have this.

Elon Musk’s staffers have gained unauthorized access to sensitive government employee data by installing a server at the OPM. They now have access to USAJOBS, the federal hiring portal where applicants submit personal details such as Social Security numbers, home addresses, and employment histories.

Remember when we said
Trump is going to do project 2025 and everyone said “no, he’s not.”

Turns out …

None of us voted for Elon Musk to do shit.

Project 2025 is here

Just like we said it would be

DEI caused the plane crash? The amount of pigment in the epidermal layer has no bearing on how well a person performs their job. Can’t you hear how dumb that conclusion sounds?

When the problems loom this large, the vast majority choose their own self interest. Therapists everywhere are yelling “Protect Your Peace.” It’s very hard to build a resistance with folks who are exhausted, or afraid, or can’t be uncomfortable or inconvenienced. It’s part of the right wing agenda.

oh wait, Donny can’t call up the Aviation Safety Committee — because right now, there’s no one at the other end to pick up the phone. Donny can’t get the answers he’s demanding because there’s no one left in government with the expertise to figure out what the fuck just happened. the stupid shit fired them all.

Notice how it's always "America was founded on Christian principles!" until it comes to welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, or loving our neighbors.

#BowlingGreenStateUniversity is no longer permitted to offer their All Gender Housing and restrooms Option. #MikeDeWine out here making life harder and less safe for already vulnerable populations of teens who are literally just trying to get an education, sleep and pee in peace. I’m furious.

Trump fires heads of TSA, Coast Guard and guts key aviation safety advisory committee President Donald Trump has moved quickly to remake the Department of Homeland Security by firing the heads of the Transportation Security Administration and Coast Guard before their terms are up while...

9 days ago trump was warned firing 400 FAA senior officials, the TSA head, and 3,000 air traffic controllers would put aviation security at risk

Trump Guts Key Aviation Safety Committee, Fires Heads Of TSA, Coast Guard The committee will technically continue to exist, but it won't have any members to carry out the work of examining safety issues at airlines and airports.

Dems should call for immediate hearings on what caused tonight’s plane crash, including the impact of the removal of FAA safety protocols and personnel.

Donald Trump fired the head of TSA.

He illegally fired the entire Aviation Security Advisory Committee mandated by Congress.

And he put a hiring freeze on FAA air traffic controllers.

The buck stops with him.

We are deeply concerned about the current state of our country. As civil servants, we are doing everything in our power to resist, even if it costs us our jobs. We are proud to be Americans, but what is happening right now does not reflect the values we, as Americans, stand for!
