Leasing of public lands to oil and gas developers increased significantly under the Trump administration (2016-2020). Just last week, 1,000 National Park Service employees were unexpectedly fired. Hum🤔

These ICE traps are geared to immigrants following the rules, who reliably show up when they are called in for immigration check-ins or court dates. They are NOT "criminals."

Now that TikTok has officially gone dark, I’m re-upping my post from a few days ago to remind folks that this praise for Trump is wrong.

Help make history, Boycott Inauguration Day, by turning your TV off at 12 o'clock on January 20. Make this inauguration the least-watched live event in the history of television. Instead, turn the TV to PBS so all the civil rights documentaries will get the ratings. Spread the Word!

It’s 25 degrees in Kansas City where the Chiefs and Texans are playing for a full stadium. Guess it’s only dangerous when it’s an inauguration.

It’s important to be clear that TikTok could have stayed up through the inauguration. Joe Biden said he’d not enforce the law. They made a choice to shut down and display a pro-Trump message. They weren’t forced to.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "We have 8,400 firefighters working the lines; 16,000 personnel; 2,500 National Guard trying to address the issue of looting; 750 CHP as we speak; we have the EPA starting to do phase 1 of the debris removal... All of that [rightwing disinformation] is a deep distraction."

Trump wants to condition disaster relief funding on whether or not you voted for him—it's sick.

Get a library card—even if you don’t plan to use it. Your registration helps secure funding for libraries, keeping them open and thriving for the entire community. Every card counts!

Pam Bondi's nomination is a threat to our democracy and our values. As AG, she'll have the power to direct every branch of the Justice Department, including enforcing voting rights laws. She'll use her power to target non-profits that work to protect YOUR freedoms.
