Just a middle aged American with a young child and a house full of pets, who can’t stand how far we’ve fallen behind the rest of the first world in regards to human rights and quality of life. #Resist

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Goodnight friends ❤️ Get some sleep. Every day, I give up for twenty minutes but decide to push through on the twenty-first. Survival is a ritual, a ceremony, and a practice. Rudy Francisco, Excuse Me as I Kiss the Sky

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees with General Milley that Americans do not owe our allegiance to a King, Queen, or a wannabe dictator. We owe our allegiance to the Constitution. Fuck the nonsense trump says about being a king.

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

Last night I attended the Save Our Services rally in New York City. Listen to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) fighting for people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” @aoc.bsky.social

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

Exactly right

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Dark Pence is back.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

“Republicans are trying to normalize plane crashes now like school shootings.” ~ @meiselasb.bsky.social

Trump will be remembered by future generations as the WORST traitor in American history, and his sycophantic political supporters will be compared to those who decades ago supported Hitler.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

THIS 👏🏻 Do you think AOC is right?

'Damn, You Look Tired, America' johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/damn-you-l...

At the behest of Wall Street donors, Congressional Republicans are trying to overturn the CFPB's new rule against predatory overdraft fees. The rule would have capped overdraft charges at $5, saving consumers $5B annually. The GOP is the party of junk fees.

Biden did something to help actual Americans, especially low income Americans who are disproportionately subject to predatory fees, and Trump wants to take that away from us.

That’s the ticket. Show up in court, with your Bar licenses on the line, and answer a judge’s pointed and specific questions on how this deal went down.

Your companies, a house of cards, built on deceit,Tesla, SpaceX, each one's a cheat.You're not a visionary, you're just a manchild,Elon Musk, you're the villain, your soul's defiled. Fuck your myth, your lies, your pompous airs,You're just a con man in a billionaire's chair. suno.com/song/4a53e15...

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.

Fyi

"Maybe we don’t need all those employees currently working at the National Nuclear Security Administration? Maybe we need more? Maybe their duties should be reorganized in some way or another? I don’t know. Neither does DOGE." www.thebulwark.com/p/breaking-t...

Some don’t even realize they’re actually eating all the faces.

My favorite from today’s 50501 March in Boston.

I’m not getting on another plane until Pete Buttigieg himself tells me the pilots are woke enough to keep us in the sky

“The Trump administration has begun firing hundreds of employees at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), including some who maintain critical air traffic control infrastructure, despite four deadly crashes since inauguration day.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

NEW: Last week’s newsletter had ‘IT’S A COUP’ in big red letters on front page of NYT. Well, guess what? It still is. We have to stop framing what’s happening as in any way normal. It’s a coup & a collapse in the international order & none of this is ‘normal’ broligarchy.substack.com/p/us-coup-ga...

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

FBI cancels community outreach programs for seniors

Union Square rally.

The daily chaos we're seeing, planes dropping out of the sky and nuclear weapons officials being fired, measles outbreaks, is all on trump -- the guy who ran to be in fucking charge. There are unqualified people at every position he nominated, so things will get MUCH worse. We're only 28 days in.

I'm starting to think DEI may have been the only reason so many planes stayed in the sky...
