Really interesting post in r/boston about how Patriot Front is being forced to change their tactics due to opposition and having their identities exposed.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

As Elon demands justifications from all federal workers (including many who are not Executive Branch employees), remember that if he paid his taxes, it'd pay for 677K federal jobs.

So if you get that OPM email, my only advice is to recognize (1) it is asking you to give them an excuse to fire you (2) it will be processed by an LLM. If you want to leave, good luck to you, thank you for your service. If not, reply in a way designed to not give their LLM bot those free excuses.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

8 Republicans are calling on Speaker Johnson not to target Medicaid. One short of the number it would take to oust Johnson.

If protests keep getting larger, and they will, we’re quickly approaching the point at which Trump tells Hegseth to order the military to fire on protesters. Trump yearns for this. The question is if the soldiers under Hegseth will carry out these illegal orders. I don’t think the answer is clear.

Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

Professor who teaches African American studies here. If your school eliminates or bans it, I will personally host free zoom sessions, provide resources, or answer questions for students, parents/guardians, or teachers who are interested in learning or discussing African American studies.

This is quite literally what the WHCA exists to prevent. The general idea behind its creation was that if one outlet got mistreated, the rest could band together to counterpressure . The fact that they won't/haven't is sad.

well it has certainly been an amusing prank to let the worst people alive take over the american government for a few weeks, but I think it's probably gone on long enough

To be clear: the Attorney General said the U.S. had filed “charges,” but what they in fact filed was a civil lawsuit. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

Holy Shit. They're burning through people pretty fast now. After Sassoon refused/resigned, the next two people - heads of Public Integrity Section (DC) and the Criminal Division also refused/resigned. This all JUST happened. And these are all 'actings', so they're people the Trump crew chose.

Not that anyone cares but a bunch of senior doj officials resigning over a corrupt instruction to drop a case was what triggered the Nixon impeachment, and in the Trump era it's just the 2pm scandal of a random Thursday and every day now has ~3 such scandals that would have ended any prior admin

The republicans in the North Carolina State Legislature do not want our state to be able to sue the federal government over laws and executive orders our state deems as unconstitutional. Republicans are against our Attorney General protecting the people of our state. ⬇️

This is not a U.S. Marshal, Federal Protective Service, or any other federal law enforcement officer. This is a private security guard from Triple Canopy. He has no authority to block members of Congress who have oversight of the EPA from entering the building.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

They all know what they're doing is illegal because lawyers and relevant experts tell them it is illegal as they do it. In any future functional government they end up in jail. They know it. They behave as if they don't expect to ever be a future government other than their own.

Among the many avenues Democrats need to be pushing now is: Trump, Musk, and their Republican enablers just compromised the personal and financial info of every American. This isn't hyperbole; it already happened. They broke all the cybersecurity protocols and are concealing what they're doing.
