Hell. Fucking. No. Trump and Musk are coming for the World Trade Center Health Program. I’m one of thousands of 9/11 First Responders that are enrolled in the program. They actually called me last week to schedule my annual appointment. ny1.com/nyc/all-boro...

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

Here we go AGAIN 🤬 The SAVE Act would make it harder for millions of Americans to cast a ballot, this includes women who changed their name after marriage. We must spread the word to protect our democracy.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Democrats "should have a war room that operates 24/7 to generate and voice loud and smart opposition to the Trump-Musk onslaught," @davidcorn.bsky.social writes. (In other words...take a cue from the R's playbook.) www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more. I'm trying to save them. You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

Dear women of the United States, every single one of you are DEI hires regardless of your skin color. Please look up the definition of DEI. All women are DEI hires. Everyone of your handicapped children are DEI hires too. DEI isn’t someone else with brown skin, it’s literally you too!!

We say that people don't notice constitutional regime collapse because it comes on too slowly but I'm not sure how much faster it could be happening; we are literally at concentration camps on day 9.

If you’re a federal employee, you should know this is a lie. Congress hasn’t appropriated these monies and so it’s literally not there to be spent. Also, federal agencies are limited by law to a max $25K payout in the case of restructuring.

1. Trump's immigration crackdown is premised on the idea that the US is experiencing a massive surge in violent crime According to Trump the crime wave is especially severe in cities THIS IS A LIE New data shows crime is LOWER than when Trump left office in 2020, and below pre-pandemic levels

The White House didn't say "stop teaching about the Tuskegee Airmen when you do US history." The White House said "stop doing DEI and wokeness," and the military interpreted it as "stop saying the Tuskegee Airmen were heroes, and maybe stop teaching about them altogether." Yeah, that's bad.

So interesting that adolescent black boys are perceived as hardened adults but a rich white man who uses his wealth to influence politics around the world and is eligible for AARP benefits gets infantilized as just a little silly goose. You don’t know how much this shit right here pissed me off:

Over 287,000 women die each year from preventable, pregnancy-related causes. President Trump’s decision to reinstate the global gag rule risks the lives of even more women, girls, young people and LGBTQ+ communities over the world, especially in areas that need lifesaving health services the most.

Trump's freezing of all civil rights cases at the DOJ is not part of an anti-DEI agenda, but an anti-civil rights agenda. DOJ was founded to protect Black rights during Reconstruction. That this difference is unclear speaks to the success of conservative propagandists and the failures of liberals.
