The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

During the Depression, you could buy 20 pounds of flour for just a quarter, but the real challenge was finding someone who had a quarter.

Sending an email to employees asking them to list five things they did that week is a classic move from a manager who has no idea how to manage

The week in review:

Why it matters that the super rich are accumulating more and more - per Gary Stevenson Politicians who don't care about you Media that lies to you. Increasingly hard to access the resources you need, including food, and housing, youtube.com/watch?v=wPoX...

Alt txt: Amy McGrath: Here's what is going on. When you start firing the military's top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful & unethical actions that he wants the military to do.

This is why the military's Chief of Staff was fired this weekend. (Fired by a guy whose relevant work experience was weekend anchor on Fox News). Listen to it, and then help rise to defend the America that produced this noble man. www.youtube.com/watch?v=brQL...

He nails it.

@waynardb.bsky.social greetings from chicken land (trumpets too.)

The mountain at dawn this morning. Pahto. Klickitat.

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

Take note of the messaging - this is both accurate and *deeply* unpopular. It's the kind of thing that forces GOP House members to quietly tell their constituents that they too are concerned about Musk. Make them own this. Make them squirm.

Why is this sort of thing just treated like background noise now?!

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

Just saying…

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

To probationary federal employees who have been terminated: Democracy Forward has filed a first-of-its-kind class-wide complaint with the Office of Special Counsel. If civil servants want to join in the complaint, you can email [email protected]

I was one of those kids that got fed. They didn't care what color you were or about your income, they just did the right thing and I have never forgotten it. We were too poor to afford breakfast.

In his declaration in the lawsuit, fired IG Larry Turner says he was chasing down another $135B in unemployment fraud leftover from COVID. So ~$200B that SBA IG was working on and $135 that Turner was. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NEW: Donald Trump fired a bunch of veterans today while simultaneously hindering care for veterans. In a month or so, republicans in Congress will cut food stamps so these veterans won’t be able to feed themselves or their families. I wonder how many of them voted for Trump.

Criminal

This is your daily reminder that eugenicist Elon Musk calls you, me, our farmers, children, elders, disabled folks, veterans "The Parasite Class" while he takes hundreds of millions of our tax money annually.

Unbelievable stupidity. Call your Congressional rep and Senators. Turn up the heat.

I’m going to continue to work until my computer access is revoked,” Lennox said. “Then I’m going to volunteer. I’m going to keep working as best I can to support the veterans. That’s what I’m here for.” taskandpurpose.com/news/veteran...

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

"As chaos reigned at USAID’s headquarters, with senior leadership removed and funding frozen, USAID workers and their families abroad had no agency help in fleeing after looters overran their homes in Kinshasa..."

OMG. The new House GOP tax plan is absolutely devastating for working Americans. Watch this. #GOOtaxscam

Elon Musk’s staffers have taken an additional $7.4 million this week in expenses, bringing the total to $14.4 million.

Interesting idea

👇🎯 Again, imagine how CNN would report on Joe Biden firing Alito & Thomas & appointing a dozen new SCOTUS justices. Or having Mark Cuban just show up & announce that he has abolished ICE. It sure as hell wouldn’t be with the passive voice & no mention of the law or Constitution 🤷‍♂️
