We’ve tried to shelter our minds but tonight we’re preparing for the genocide of Science. Entire NIH departments will have no leaders. World renowned Scientists kicked to the curb without cause, & grants will loose their lead investigators. Is this what they want? Chaos? Destruction?

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

Did you know? There’s a directory of Black farmers: “The Black Farmers Index.” Buy and uplift local. Many are small-scale specialists and located in urban areas. I found an organic resource in my area that I will definitely check out.

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes…

Needed this so much right now. I just called out the fact that Kendrick Lamar carried that red, white, and blue theme through. He owned it! My fam knew what that meant. THEY don’t want us here, but they do not own the flag. “Not Like Us”

Kendrick’s American flag motif at THIS MOMENT is subversive. Yes, yes, yes.

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.

BREAKING NEWS: Senator John Fetterman STUNS Republicans and announces not only will he vote NO on Tulsi Gabbard but also on RFK JR. Thank you Senator Fetterman.

So there’s a trope from old Tsarist Russia: “If only the Tsar knew!” The myth of the wise and beneveolent tsar was so deeply ingrained that peasants would blame the constant injustice & oppression on the wicked advisors, who the tsar would surely eject if only he knew the evil done in his name.

In the case in which retirees & unions are seeking a TRO to get DOGE out of Treasury, Judge Kollar-Kotelly gives parties an option: (a) file standstill agreement by 11:30 tomorrow & hold preliminary injunction hearing 2/24; or (b) hold TRO hearing this Friday, 2/7. /1

What I should have done in the beginning - here's a starter pack of 20-odd experts who journalists or others might want to read/talk to to understand the gutting of the administrative state (as opposed to broad decline of democracy etc). I've focused on academics go.bsky.app/MaC7vnv

Happy: Black history Black present Black future Black love Black joy Black health Black healing Black people Black community Black family Black kids Black culture Black creativity Black ingenuity Black legacy Black innovation Black liberation Black resistance Black existence ...month🖤

It's 100% true.

Tonight at the UFC, the four weird ex-Democrats who now control the Republican Party.

It's so nice here.

Karma's a bitch Alex Jones' media company sold to The Onion at auction www.npr.org/2024/11/14/n...

watching cabinet appointments get announced like

What's insane is the parents & kids in mostly red states will be hit hardest by this. They don't have the infrastructure or resources to support education on their own. NJ, NY, CA, VT, MA, DC, etc - we'll be just fine. FAFO.

This #VeteransDay hits different, knowing we’re about to lose our disability benefits and pensions. Knowing we’re about to lose VA hospitals and clinics. Knowing he will gut the federal workforce which is 1/3 Veterans. He hates Veterans & we’re about to learn how much.

Adios Leon!!

I'm sure there's going to be a "family oriented" line on their checklist that will keep ICE from deporting people 🙄
