DOGE and Trump admin have hobbled at least 11 federal agencies that have been investigating Musk's companies. The NLRB alone had 24 ongoing investigations into Tesla & others--but Trump fired top officials so now cases can't move forward. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/u... @ericlipton.nytimes.com

Incredible news. After immense pressure and threats of protest, Children's Wisconsin has reinstated treatment for at least one trans teen under its care. Several hospitals across the country determined their fear of Trump's illegal EO was more important than their trans patients.

I don’t care if babies cry on planes. Planes are unpleasant. I would also like to cry on planes. If a baby cries on a plane, that is not a nuisance. That is simply a relatable baby.

"would you please put that in writing" is how you pull off insubordination without actually being insubordinate. Very useful when you are getting sketchy (whatever 'sketchy' might mean) instructions from someone who might not want to take responsibility for it later. signed, a former union steward.

For the folks in the back, criticizing our reps isn't attacking them or ‘calling the wrong people’. Prodding them works, and will move the needle. They have the power to shift the GOP on the hill, not us. Keep pushing them.

A company cannot love you back. People at the company can appreciate you, sure, but I’ve watched so many people (coworkers, friends, family) sacrifice for the places they’ve worked that simply took advantage of their loyalty while giving nothing back or hurting them down the line

Ignore the media headlines reporting that freezing federal spending or shuttering federal agencies “raise questions” or “push boundaries.” It’s an anticonstitutional lawbreaking spree.

You say: they shutdown USAID. You mean: they illegally broke in to a secure facility over a weekend, hijacked sensitive data on vulnerable people and US businesses, destroyed property Americans paid for, cut off resources for sick and hungry families, and fired Americans across the country.

📣 MAJOR MAJOR PSA 📣 YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR A PROTEST. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO "REGISTER" TO SHOW SOLIDARITY. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GIVE YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, AND PHONE NUMBER TO HAND OUT AND DISTRIBUTE MATERIALS. YOU JUST SHOW UP.

Well it's a simple problem: your lib coworker takes trump seriously but doesn't have the social media vocab to look cool, while your primary concern is avoiding cringe. What I would ask is: which one of you is less of an asset to fascism

Madness. RFK is not offering a critique of American healthcare! If a “critique” is coming from a person operating in extreme bad faith and is reliant almost exclusively on lies, it’s not a critique at all, it’s lunacy, or propaganda. It’s not worth any consideration at all, only harsh denunciation.

Here’s what’s important here. Just because the other side wants a fight doesn’t mean you should avoid one. Sometimes you have to get out of your head, quit trying to be clever and cute and fucking fight.

The news sometimes gives you the impression that government is an unstoppable steamroller, but it’s not. The admin is trying a “shock and awe” because they can only win by tricking people into giving up.

I have not seen people talking about this so far w/ 47's cuts to roles. "Members of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee received a memo Tuesday" eliminating their role.

For folks who say, "Why should I even bother calling my Democratic Senator? They'll vote the right way..." I need you to understand that when Dem electeds try to justify why they're cowering in terror from Trump right now, the VERY FIRST THING THEY CITE is: "no one's calling my office"

The story of this first week is corruption. Billionaires seated on the inaugural stage in front of the cabinet, crypto pump and dump, and the illegal firing of IGs. The media is acting like this is too chaotic and bewildering to interpret, but they are just afraid of sounding shrill. It’s corrupt.

Still absolutely appalled by this analogy. Yesterday I noted that even in terms of corporate law Trump's looting and waste isn't ok. Today I point out: what do you mean the country is HIS that he's ACQUIRED??? THE UNITED STATES BELONGS TO ITS PEOPLE, NOT HIM!! He's a steward, not an owner.
