“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Lived in fabulous Montreal for 2 years, my first teaching job in late 70's. A Boston area native I rooted for the Bruins against the Montreal Canadians at The Forum Hockey Arena when they played. Today,I'm overjoyed that Canada beat the American team. 'Oh Canada'🎶 NOT.MY.PRESIDENT NOT.MY.COUP⚖️

This is why the military's Chief of Staff was fired this weekend. (Fired by a guy whose relevant work experience was weekend anchor on Fox News). Listen to it, and then help rise to defend the America that produced this noble man. www.youtube.com/watch?v=brQL...

It's time for Congress and US Senate to pass Anomaly Funding to allow Social Security Administration to implement the Social Security Fairness Act. People have waited decades for this wrong in withholding earned benefits to be corrected. We deserve to receive our full earned benefits.

Lies Lies Lies by the Unclever KarolineMAGAMouthPiece!😑

Whether in the courts or by way of pressure on the Trump Administration, DEMAND evidence of these claims of fraud and waste. You’d think Trump would be running to Congress & to court to show what they’ve found, and yet…crickets 🦗

Well. Politico is compromised. Also, can we give a little love to the social media team at @thetnholler.bsky.social They always nail it.

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

Comrade card for 1/28/2025. Give people what they need. Don't ask who deserves it.

When you consider that the men who orchestrated the gutting of reproductive rights knew it’d kill untold numbers of women and nevertheless worked really really really hard to make sure those rights were taken away and those women killed, I’d say they should definitely be seen as having a body count

BREAKING: Senator Mitch McConnell announces that he will not seek reelection in 2026 — bringing an end to one of the single most destructive political careers in American history. He will be remembered for his cruelty and greed and for helping pave the wave for MAGA fascism. Good. Riddance.

Good to call in and share my concerns and experiences with Social Security . This is a critical issue! Thank you for alerting the people to the crisis Trump/Musk/GOP have created and are implementing now.

Amanda Zurawski, one of the Texas women who nearly died due to the states abortion ban, has been named one of Time’s Women of the Year.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

DOGE is not only trying to STEAL our private information from the Social Security Administration. They are trying to STEAL OUR MONEY that we paid into with every single paycheck of ours. Call your members of Congress and tell them how you feel. 202-224-3121.

BREAKING — I've confirmed the DOGE staffers at SSA. They are Marko Elez (who was previously fired for racist posts and then reinstated), Ethan Shaotran, Nikhil Rajpal, and Gautier Cole-Killian. This is per Social Security Works, a non-profit working to protect/expand Social Security.

Who even gives a 'F'. Machiavellian Mitch must never be forgiven for his major part in destroying SCOTUS, disrupting all the positive People-Centered policies proposed by Democrats in Congress over the years. All for his and his warped GOP power lust and greed!

"They're trying to immiserate the working class and they're doing it through the federal workforce,” says federal worker Chris Dols.

“We are the checks and balances,” says federal worker Chris Dols, who is organizing protests against mass government layoffs. Dols calls on the broader labor movement to get involved in opposition to DOGE’s power grab.

Trump proved conclusively last night with his deranged statements that he is an enemy and menace to our friends and allies around the world, and the best thing that ever happened to our adversaries and corrupt dictators. meidasnews.com/news/trump-s...

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers wants his state to become the first state to audit insurance companies over denying coverage. More of this, Democrats.

SCOOP: The director of data science and engineering for the United States Digital Service—which Elon Musk rebranded as the US DOGE Service—has resigned from her position. “I do not believe that DOGE can continue to deliver the work of USDS, based on their actions so far,” she said.

Entire government agencies are being reshaped, career experts are leaving and power is shifting — often behind closed doors. ProPublica is investigating. 🧵⬇️ (1/6)
