There's a part of me that wants to snort that if our state was really in an open state of rebellion, the local news would probably be covering this. But as it stands: CBS 2: Covering insurance NBC 4: Destination X/American Ninja Warrior ABC 7: The Connors: Fox 11: Raw Travel

Public comments opposing the Trump plan to gut civil service protections are due by midnight tonight! Any unique comment opposing his plan is helpful. Mine is below--I drew on personal experience and wrote a lot, but you don't have to! Submit yours here: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

We’ve been in touch with local law enforcement in LA. They have the resources they need to meet the moment, and we stand ready to assist should the need arise.   There is no emergency and the President’s order calling in the National Guard is unnecessary and counterproductive.

Pam Bondi is thug scum. The Attorney General making these comments about a defendant in a federal criminal case is lawless. This administration’s unethical hacks continue to demonstrate that they want to be deposits.

WOW. Breaking news from ABC that has the potential to cast serious doubts on today’s indictment of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

Let it out, ADL. Let people hear and see what you've become. What a shame.

ABSURD!

Across the government, the Trump administration is scrambling to rehire many federal employees dismissed under DOGE’s staff-slashing initiatives after wiping out entire offices, in some cases imperiling key services such as weather forecasting and the drug approval process.

@erinscafe.bsky.social you’re alive! And back!

i'm starting to see some scoldy posts pointing out that we are laughing about a fire on the deck of our sinking ship and i have to be honest once the ship started sinking i decided i would take the laughs where i found them

This story is wild: Rather than just comply with court orders; the Trump admin has ICE offices and detainees living in a shipping container in Djibouti unde threat of rocket attacks wapo.st/4kPIACX

Welp, HUD published the Rescission of Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Regulations notice in the FR. Exceeds to the scope of the Fair Housing Act? Pretty sure the AFFH is part of the Act.

On May 7, just 28 minutes after a U.S. appeals court ordered that a Salvadoran man not be removed from the United States, the Trump administration deported him to El Salvador. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

It means he’s a Republican.

Glad to see my city, county and state on here.

I put on navy blue leggings instead of black leggings when my glasses were off and then left the house. I do not match. Oh well.

Former police officer takes Email Job and immediately crumbles, describing the mere act of going to an office every day as a Herculean act of strength and discipline.

"Roughly 1,500 babies have been born HIV-positive every day since January 21, because Musk cut off their mothers’ medication." prospect.org/power/2025-0...

"Using ChatGPT to write a study on the dangers posed to children by the irresponsible misuse medicine and technology and then just running it up there" is an incredible bit of satire, sadly. One so good that everyone involved should be thrown into comedy prison! Or just regular prison is also fine.

I resent everyone who have made this...throuple thing trend this morning. What a thing to wake up to in my feed. Gag.

Musk is out (or so he says). But the DOGE mindset remains, evident in gutted agencies and a demoralized workforce. “Nobody else in the world is doing this kind of thing. And it’s basically going to get shelved.” www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

currently in a fight with the oversized chihuahua. she won't move from my side of the bed, and I'm falling off.

@autisticadvocacy.org condemns MAHA Commission report: "Rather than engaging the autistic community or other disabled communities about what our true health needs are & how to address them, this report focuses on directing fear & disgust towards our community." autisticadvocacy.org/2025/05/asan...

US Court of International Trade just issued decision in case against Trump tariffs filed by Liberty Justice Center and me. All "Liberation Day"/IEEPA tariffs ruled illegal, and blocked by injunction! See link for opinion. I will have much more to say soon: www.cit.uscourts.gov/sites/cit/fi...

Cry me a fucking river.

i really think this is more about Newsom wanting to do it than it is about being scared of Trump

NPR has sued Trump to block his illegal and unconstitutional order to freeze federal funding that Congress has already approved just because he doesn’t like their coverage.

"From this course of conduct, it is hard to come to any conclusion other than that Defendants invite lack of clarity as a means of evasion." Yikes.

Be on alert as it is likely that he has already been rehired.

If a former Israeli prime minister can say this, what is stopping European leaders?

"You guys are trash and this is trash." That's what Phoenix cops told a homeless man before tossing his belongings. Last June, the Justice Dept found systemic abuse: illegal arrests, excessive force. Now Trump's DOJ is retracting those findings, greenlighting more violence against unhoused people.
