We dare Mike Johnson to give that answer at a town hall in front of his constituents

This is what courage looks like. While so many stay silent, these people took a stand. We need more of that—right now. 📌 21 civil service employees resigned from DOGE

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

@dailybeanspod.bsky.social this is great

👀 NEW: the current under secretary of State for Management, Ambassador Tibor Nagy, has sent an email regarding OPM's request for five accomplishments: "No employee is obligated to report their activities outside of their department chain of command."

You can be absolutely sure the Kennedy Center which is now been seized and under the control of MAGA will not be lighting up like this for Pride In fact, Trump's cancelled Pride events at the Kennedy Center FDT! Long live the arts, #LGBTQ Pride & the Kennedy's (except that sick fuch RFK Jr)

In addition to nationwide protests in all 50 states across the U.S., our 50501 Washington DC Chapter is having a PEOPLE’S STATE OF THE UNION March 4th! If you can’t make it in person to your local protest, consider joining this digital demonstration. INFO: www.linktr.ee/50501DC @polrev.bsky.social

When you visit the parks enjoy your time and you see the rangers smiling and helping. Just remember that they probably didn't sleep the night before and that they probably spent the evening crying. We've also been secretly training bears to use tasers so if you're an asshole...

I say Blue States withhold all Federal tax contributions and take care of their own. Let red states do as they will. They voted for this lunacy. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Basic biology eludes her.

The Georgia Republican who recently told CNN that school kids should be sent to work to earn school lunches was met with outrage and fury from residents at a local town hall meeting on Thursday night.

32 days until the government runs out of money Democratic are about to have a lot of leverage Not clear they’ll use it

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

This is so good - @vermontgmg.bsky.social takes a stab at imagining how the US press would be covering overseas what's happening inside the U.S. right now:

50 States. 50 Protests. 1 Day. We’ll see you out there 🤞🏻 #50501

Marco Rubio is visiting Panama this weekend to try to annex the Panama Canal. Panama is currently bracing for an American invasion and is warning there could be mass casualties. The U.S. is acting like Russia when it invaded Ukraine—and is making the world less safe in the process.

Gonna go ahead & mark myself physically safe, but not mentally well from all 735 days of January 2025.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Read the comments- such excellent reporting

Adiel is great and her work in part prompted UPS to install ACs in their trucks during blistering hot summers. A true impact journalist.

BREAKING: The Department of Veterans Affairs has CANCELLED SUICIDE PREVENTION TRAINING because it includes considerations for the LGBTQ+ community. Veterans suicide.

Hopefully, this is just the beginning.

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

There is no justice for people of color in AmeriKKKa

Just made a bookmark for my meditation teacher.

The U.S. claims the hacking was commissioned by a lobbying firm working on behalf of one of the world's biggest oil companies.

Well shit.

This is fine. We’re fine. Everything is fine.

NEW: My DMs and email have been flooded with Federal Workers anonymously sharing information. Here's an update on what I'm seeing. www.muellershewrote.com/p/federal-go...

Just...evil

The White House Financial Disclosure page has been WIPED. The U.S. Office of Government Ethics mandates public financial disclosures for high-level federal officials through the OGE Form 278e promoting transparency and ensuring compliance with the Ethics in Government Act of 1978. SHARE EVERYWHERE!

Iowa activists, activate. ICE is rounding up “suspected” undocumented immigrants. No due process for American OR undocumented human beings. 🙏🏽

I wrote this based on my JHPPL article on inequitable administrative burdens of appealing coverage denials, incorporating a new interview I did with a doc who reviews claims for a major insurer and who said, "We’re told denying things is OK because people can appeal" www.statnews.com/2025/01/23/h...

stop publishing science reports. wow. stop warning the public. mind boggling!!

Sending lots of love to anyone who needs to hear it today. We're in challenging times right now, and we have to make more effort to look out for one another and show the best sides of humanity, empathy, compassion, kindness, and encouragement. These are vital.

Free speech absolutists

Use this term. This is what they are doing.
