Do you know how popular the US Post Service is? It’s routinely Americans’ #1 or #2 favorite gov’t agency. During COVID, their approval rating (yes, people measure these things) was 91%! WHY would a president, in his *first* month, cut an agency this loved by the people?

free hint to blue state govs: automatically offer jobs in your own state's security services to the various cops, prosecutors and armed forces members that trump is unfairly drumming out. you will need people with guns who hate trump for what is coming next, and... there they are

More FAFO. It's a good one. Her daughter doesn't work for DEI...🤣

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.

“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.

BREAKING - The Dow just had its worst drop since March 2020 — at the beginning of Covid Back then it was a pandemic mismanaged by Trump Now it’s tariffs and inflation mismanaged by Trump Watch out — Trump is giving America economic Covid

Wow.

Who's keeping track of how many of these J6 criminals have already been arrested?

Why would anyone who is a patriot and loves this country do this? Because Trump isn’t a patriot and doesn’t love this country. And together we must stop him.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Just had an excellent interview with @advocate.com, and I really think this one is worth your time to read.

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

Wow.

Mark my words—He is going to try to shut down mail-in voting. When he does, we will sue and we will win. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

@redhibiscus23.bsky.social thank you for sharing this!!! 🎯🎯🎯

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

This week isn't the first time former NFL kicker Chris Kluwe has spoken out, made a difference As a result of Kluwe's previous advocacy, the MN Vikings made contributions to LGBTQ orgs, suspended a coach for homophobic rants & instituted sensitivy training www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

This is the Huntington Beach Central Library. This is the beloved library that @chriswarcraft.bsky.social was supporting when he was arrested on Tuesday night. The library is NOT responsible for the MAGA plaque. Let the HB City Council know how you feel at [email protected]

Former NFL player Chris Kluwe was arrested during a meeting of the Huntington Beach City Council, after he protested against the city’s decision to install a plaque at the public library featuring the acrostic poem, “Magical. Alluring. Galvanizing. Adventurous,” spelling out “MAGA.”

We agree. 💙📚

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.
