So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

The fascists who have taken over the United States are making it a criminal act for segments of the population to simply exist. This will seem shocking to some and obvious to others, but true solidarity with these people will require that you are ready to break the law when justice requires you to.

“I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. “I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.”

Big Oil launched an outrageous lawsuit against @greenpeaceusa.bsky.social for $300 million. It’s a brazen attack by a handful of wealthy fossil fuel executives on our rights to speak out to protect our communities, wildlife and climate. #ImWithGreenpeace Join us in standing up to #BigOilBullies.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

He should resign now. He is arguably solely responsible for packing the Supreme Court with right wing ideologues.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"
