This is the beginning of a massive fall of MAGA. No amount of division, fear mongering, lies, and cheap lines will overcome the fact that you just took many people’s prosperity just because it makes you feel powerful. Mark my words, the beginning of the end.

This alum says do it. Fight back. Do not surrender to Trump’s war on academia and academic freedom. This is autocracy. Leading institutions must stand up to it. Lead the way. Those that yield grease the path to authoritarianism.

So, which is it? If this info wasn’t classified, that in itself would be a scandalous screw-up that must be explained. And if it was classified, then the Trump administration lied to Congress and to the American people.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Eliminating the Department of Education will lead to gutting funds from special education to financial aid for college. They are literally stealing from children to pay for tax cuts for Donald Trump’s friends.

We need to talk about Trump’s threat to defund universities unless they arrest and expel protesters. We’re watching classic fascistic institutional capture in real time and if this continues unabated we’re going to look up and live in a world without escape. The time to fight is now.

Trump’s murderous freezing of aid that Congress enacted a law to send to Ukraine unconstitutionally usurps the power of the purse, violates the 1974 Impoundment Act, and is an impeachable “high crime and misdemeanor” akin to the extortion for which the Senate should have convicted Trump in 2020.

I’ve been very outspoken about the NWS/NOAA cuts because this matter deeply affects me, my career weather page, and my friends and colleagues, and it is not something I support. Weather should be nonpartisan. We should focus on improving and finding new ways to protect lives.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

THIS IS A BLATANT LIE AND A DISGRACE TO THE MEMORIES OF THE VICTIMS. While emergency responders are still recovering peoples' loved ones from the freezing water, Trump is using these families' pain for POLITICS by blaming their deaths on DEI. A total failure of leadership.

Almost all of Puerto Rico has no electricity on New Year’s Eve. The failing grid in Puerto Rico is the single worst infrastructure crisis in the United States. Puerto Rico is a colony of the United States, and its failing grid is a symptom of its second-class status.
