Every time I see these stories I don’t only think about how much effort it is to defend every single program, I think how much it must infuriate the people who thought they could just sweep everything away to keep getting told no. Tiny wins are still wins

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

> DeJoy warned that the post office, which has lost more than $100bn since 2007, must continue to cut costs or will remain on the path to either a “government bailout or the end of this great organization as we know it” THE POST OFFICE IS A PUBLIC SERVICE AND SHOULD NOT BE TREATED LIKE A FOR PROFIT

zeroing in on the minimum necessary number of FAA employees by re-hiring a guy we just fired every time there's a plane crash. soon it'll be a perfectly efficient administration and aviation disasters will only happen on days where one person calls in sick

On the heels of multiple airplane disasters, including one less than a month ago that killed 67 people, and after years of warnings about our understaffed air traffic control system, Trump has begun firing hundreds of FAA air traffic control workers. apnews.com/article/doge...

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.
