We need more people like Frankie in the world.

As I promised, Washington State Ferries head Steve Nevey will now be Deputy Transportation Secretary and attend my Cabinet meetings. I will closely oversee reforms as we improve service — and my entire team will understand ferries are a top priority.

Fucking Delores Umbridge much? 🤬

The Department of Ed has a form to snitch on DEI policies in schools. I’d be a shame if we broke it with thousands of responses… enddei.ed.gov

Do you need a measles booster shot? What to know as a U.S. outbreak continues to spread. "There is a very specific group that does have to worry about their immunity from vaccination. People born after 1957 but vaccinated before 1968 — that group is unlikely to have robust immunity from…

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.

Everyone needs to be familiar with this information. You never know when you may need to help someone. Be prepared.

We're expediting sex designation change requests on birth certificates. People born in WA who want to change the sex designation on their birth certificate can do so by filing a request with us. . doh.wa.gov/DesignationC...

Wow. Thank you Governor!

Crockett: While he was stopping money… somehow the only money that didn’t stop was the money going to his organization. I don’t know you can have him be watchdog as well as the guy living off of the government. If you want to talk about government welfare, it looks like Elon Musk

With CDC removal of trans data, its important I use my platform to support research in this space. Emory is doing a virtual study on HIV+ trans-fem individuals and working on shaping viral load testing for this population, with some compensation. If it applies to you, here's the link to enroll:

Breaking: The fox will now be guarding the hen house. 🤬

A great website tracking all the companies that have bent the knee to Trump and eliminated their DEI programs, and all the companies that have stood strong. www.dei.watch

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Where is @cantwell.senate.gov?So infuriating. WA state deserves so much better. 🤬

Murray: "It is unlawful for a president to say 'I am going to decide where the money goes that Congress appropriated' ... you can't pass a law and then say, 'it doesn't apply to me.' That's what they are doing here."

For people asking for non-meta options I’ll be posting clips tomorrow

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

Now what does Canada have to pretend to do so Trump can declare victory?

You're not overwhelmed. You're under attack.

I believe our answer matters more than anything they say I believe if there is still a will then there is still a way I believe there is a way I believe in us together More than anyone alone I believe that with each other, we are stronger than we know I believe we're stronger than they know

In my years of reporting on LGBTQ news this was by far the hardest. But we are still here. You made it to Friday. You lived. Good job. That wasn’t easy. Through a diversity of tactics, we will continue to live. Rest up, drink water, find community, so that we can all be here tomorrow too.

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

From Jack McCain

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

The Future of STEM Scholars is offering $40,000 scholarships to college applicants pursuing preferred science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) degrees at Historically Black colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The application closes in THREE days! Click below for more info.

Film everything ICE does. Don't let them get away with illegally raiding businesses and homes in the night without warrants signed by judges. Everyone should feel an obligation to film them, report their whereabouts to the media, immigration attorneys, and elected representatives.

Article I says Congress makes laws and has power of the purse. Article II requires POTUS to faithfully execute laws. Refusing to execute laws so he can usurp Congress’s budgetary authority is unconstitutional. A self-respecting Congress would do a veto-proof resolution, and if necessary, impeach.

We will have victories and setbacks, good days and bad. We must understand that this will not be over in one election or with the defeat of any one candidate. This is the fight of our generation, and it will take time. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

The artist, David Cohen is an Asheville-based artist/musician and resident of over forty years. His cartoon work spans various subjects ranging from local issues based in Asheville to more national political events and even to one-off, word-play-oriented jokes. ❤️ Give credit to artists when you can.

Do NOT be like FWISD Business Teacher Jason Buchanan. No one gets to be fucking anonymous while TURNING IN CHILDREN to the gestapo… on TikTok‼️ Jason was found quickly on TikTok, X and Facebook with *his own* publicly available info. FWISD is aware (don’t call). Everyone is aware. #FAFO

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is. Know your rights. Pass these around…

What if we all had this level of encouragement in our lives? 🤔

Funding for the National Institute of Health is imperative for research. The NIH impacts every state in the nation. When a state is clicked on, this interactive map will highlight how the state benefits.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)
