Dear friends & neighbors of USA, We have someone who’s HIGH ON DRUGS dismantling our entire administrative state over here with NO congressional authority. It is ABSOLUTELY as absurd & devastating as I’m sure it appears. I’m unsure of the future but I KNOW we NEED you. Hold us near. Love, USA 💔🦋

The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.

So happy optimistic personal news here: I’m getting a temporary gastric neurostimulator in April!! I’ll be sporting an NG tube for 10 days while we see if this is an effective treatment for my gastroparesis. If it is, I’ll get an implanted one (battery last 3-7 years). GO CYBORGS!

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

A reminder, as thousands of government employees are fired, laid off, urged to resign, etc., that the federal workforce is 19% Black. The U.S. federal government was a first, and still is a main, provider of employment dignity and middle-class opportunity to Black Americans.

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering it, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.
