And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

BREAKING: Donald Trump just fired General CQ Brown (left) and has replaced him with the less qualified Lt. General Dan Caine. DEI isn’t a problem if you’re white.

firing for "too much DEI" is plainly firing a woman and a Black man on the presumption only white men can be qualified. this is disgusting biogtry.

We aren’t all farmers…

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

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.

Please stop shaming federal workers for their decisions to stay and fight or resign in protest. You don't know their lives or what they have the privilege of doing. It's like yelling at a rape survivor for not reporting.

📌Your (our) social security information is being compromised as I type this. 📌It is one of the biggest stories in United States history, and for the life of me I don’t understand why it isn’t being treated this way. 📌Fucking sirens should be blaring. It is a full-on emergency.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

This is the ultimate result of a hate campaign against the trans community. Depraved violence and murder against our community. archive.ph/G4U6J

I prefer presidents who stand with our allies!

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

Admittedly, this is "stollen" but I don't know who did it, and it deserves to be shared.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

My #BlackHistoryMonth project has gotten derailed a bit. I had planned to post every day but life is happening. I will continue to learn and read and listen and follow great content creators here on Blue Sky and on Tik Tok. I will post when I can to continue to celebrate black Americans.

This Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.

How have we not called them the Koup Klux Klan yet?

Ooo this is a good one ☺️

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’ Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

I'm a day behind in #BlackHistoryMonth. Yesterday's hero is Bob Moses, an organizer and activist from Mississippi who worked closely with Fannie Lou Hamer to co-found the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. He was a leader in SNCC and he founded COFO, a coalition of SNCC, CORE, NAACP, and SCLC.
