As we watch in horror the abuse of law in El Salvadoran prison, it appears to move the eye. Ukraine. The illegality of Trump’s broad tariffs. Insider trading, MTG. Rape of our government. Weaponization of DoJ. 1st Amendment, college, law firms. Politicization of the military. Disclosure of our info.

Dear Governors of all states: Please allow all federal employees to transfer all of our years of federal service to the state system. Let us buy back our service if that's needed. Let us maintain dignity for all the years we provided to our country.

Last night MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell said Trump was the first U.S. president to “switch sides during a war.” That aptly describes Trump’s betrayal but it can’t begin to convey the depravity of what Trump did in throwing our ally overboard and lying about every facet of Putin’s criminal aggression.

🚨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!

I need people to read this and understand the immediate human suffering being experienced by Americans at USAID. www.courtlistener.com/docket/69619... Terry Doe’s situation is horrific and painful and should be unconscionable for any one to support.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Folks, no matter who or where you are, check on your federally employed friends. We are not ok right now. We swore to serve and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic and we meant it. And mean it still. #savedemocracy #saveusaid #saveeducation #savedol #savefbi

Without treatment, millions of people with H.I.V. would be at risk of severe illness and premature death. The loss of treatment also threatens the emergence of drug-resistant strains of H.I.V.; both outcomes could have a global impact, including in the United States. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/h...
