Devastated & distraught for the future of my granddaughter. I am disgusted how many people chose a felon over a black woman. I will hang on for my granddaughter and my many cats whom I love very much (and my husband and son too).

Elon Musk should be nowhere near the federal government. Repost if you agree.

The Felon is not draining the swamp he is filling it with the dead bodies of the Americans he is leaving hungry, homeless, and without medical care

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

Trump takes a taxpayer-funded joyride at the rained-out Daytona 500—while gutting the federal workforce. But the rain didn’t stop him from hogging the spotlight. Meanwhile, over on NASCAR’s official Instagram page—he was dragged for filth in replies…

Knowledge is power…

We're expediting sex designation change requests on birth certificates. People born in WA who want to change the sex designation on their birth certificate can do so by filing a request with us. . doh.wa.gov/DesignationC...

Republicans want to slash Medicare and Medicaid so billionaires like Musk can get a tax cut. Most Americans—even Republicans—oppose this. We should strengthen healthcare, not gut it to line the pockets of the rich. If you agree, share this with as many people as you can.

We should not be cutting health care for working families to deliver massive tax breaks for billionaires. Repost if you agree.

Hypocrite! Republicans of today have no sense of decency... no shame. When those are gone, the society does not have a basic tool to "force" people in power to change their ways. Without "shame" public opinion is toothless.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

This is the kind of action I’ve been looking for!

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

"Dozens of employees who attended a diversity training course that former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos encouraged during President Donald Trump’s first administration have been placed on paid leave as part of Trump’s targeting of DEI programs"

Timeline cleanser...cats watching it snow for the first time.

Several conversations today w people in the key executive departments. And while the particulars are hard to pin down my impression is that the Musk take over stuff is considerably worse than is being presented in the press. By this I don’t necessarily things they *done* yet but the level of …

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

1/ Musk seeking control over nerve systems of the federal government. As someone who spent a decade studying how centralized information systems are used for coercion this is a five alarm fire. We need to name it, identify risks, and seek to mitigate their impacts. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love. I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

NY Times, Feb. 11, 1933.

I do not recall a 24 hour or one week news cycle with more disturbing news about the state of the presidency and the US government in it than those of today and the past seven days. January 6 was nothing compared to this. But make no mistake, this too is the gov't being torn apart by a mob of thugs.

Back in the world of factual reality…
