When they say Kamala Harris wasn't qualified, do they mean she had too much pigment or do they mean she didn't have a penis?

Minnesota Senator Tina Smith bringing the thunder 🔥

As America is being torn apart, weakened, and sold to the highest bidder, I think about all the folks who told me, "Well, it won't be THAT bad" and "We survived 4 years of Trump..." and "The systems will hold." All of them are privileged and well-off. Alas. We're all in it now.

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.

Members of the military are supposed to be loyal to the Constitution, not the president. Changing that seems to have been the point of the Friday Night Massacre. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Yup.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

The week in review:

Imagine Hannah Arendt going in for a bro hug with Hitler. This Black dude just embarrassed himself for life. 😳👇

This gets my vote for tweet/post of the year. This is a RED ALERT post. This is exactly why he’s doing it.

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

These people all have actual conflicts of interest that should keep them from working on any investigations like this. It's a measure of how tainted and corrupt this Justice Department is becoming and it breaks my heart. I hope it doesn't break our country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

When the stupid reveals itself..once again.. We don’t do kings, no matter how hard you try, asshole 🖕🏻 #SheShed

Unfortunately I won’t be to DC in time, but this rally for Ukraine is happening in Lincoln memorial. Attend if you can and Slava Ukrainii!

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

Brown had to go - he was serving his country while black.

“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.”

He nails it.

Two special elections on April 1 could end Trump's control of Congress. If there was ever a race that needed even your smallest donation... it's this one. @joshweil.bsky.social is running against Trump/DeSantis' hand-picked ultra-maga extremist, Randy Fine, who will be a Trump rubber stamp.

That sounds like a plan that I can get on board with! 🤭😅🤣

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

“What merit means to them” General Brown’s record, which Hegseth questioned for obvious reasons: www.af.mil/About-Us/Bio...

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

We’re definitely seeing a spike in Washington DC jobless claims:

#DoNotComply

Canadians are now referring to the United States as the 11th province

This is really something

Can we just seize the Russian assets already and give them to Ukraine? Good lord just do it

btw a dozen white eggs were $10.19 today on my supermarket outing

Minnesota is now South Manitoba. I don't make the rules.

I can’t wait to see these old, fat fuck Trumper’s around me locally….having to get up on a ladder in the June heat…and and roof their own houses…because the migrants are either gone, or too afraid to work and get caught. I’ll honk, wave, and say, “Damn! It sure is hot today, eh?!

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

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.

This will especially hurt rural folks

Hey congressional Republicans, still waiting for you to announce how much you’re cutting from congress’ own $6.5 billion budget….

Imagine what it must be like to be McConnell and watching this thing unfold that would never have happened without you

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.” ~ @michaeldweiss.bsky.social

As always, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is a real one.

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

PETE: “What we have to do now is make clear we do want government to work differently and better than it has, but burning it to the ground won’t do that for anyone.”
