Book cover yadda yadda but I can't believe we get a dude like Alan Ritchson in the national divorce

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds. Gov Mills: See you in court

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.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Wow: City of Clarksdale, Mississippi got a court order yesterday directing a newspaper to delete an editorial criticizing city officials -- without a hearing. Here's the TRO issuing the prior restraint:

This is what oligarchy looks like.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

Remember, folks, the #1 cause of #autism is autistics having kids. In “the old days”, it was called being eccentric (among other things). It still existed even if there wasn’t an official diagnosis for it.

Elon Musk re-shared a tweet containing Judge John McConnell Jr.’s daughter’s job and financial records on X after the judge ruled against DOGE.

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.

What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.

I am no longer accepting the argument "there are bigger problems than this!" unless you are personally working to stop the ultimate Heat Death of the Universe.

Good morning ppl! Did you know that the FDA regulates ~80% of what you touch daily. That, ~80% of the worlds ibuprofen comes from one plant in Michigan and that ~80% of that API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) comes from China? Is that to many 8’s? Man this trade war is gonna be lit!

Elon Musk alone is more of a fuckin threat to you than immigration. Without a doubt.

Great advice on how to fight back from @rbreich.bsky.social @marcelias.bsky.social @sifill.bsky.social @indivisible.org @aoc.bsky.social and many others: www.headsupnews.org/p/what-you-c...

We can’t say this enough: When people in Trump‘s orbit deliberately lie about how our constitutional democracy works, they violate the oaths they take to uphold the law. & they violate the trust the American people place in them.

friendly reminder elon musk only started bringing his son with him after the first trump assasination attempt and after Luigi Mangione shot that billionaire

It is the darkest of all possible humor that Disney is publicly rolling back their DEI initiatives and removing content warnings from older, racially-insensitive work on the same week that they are releasing a new MCU movie with a Black man as Captain America.

🚨An open letter to the Democrats. 🚨 Get off your fucking letter writing asses and do something, anything that is not the norm. Every fucking one of you is still acting like the kid in HS that spent his time with model Gov or junior UN haveing debates full of platitudes and quips to win your point.

We highly recommend y’all crack open a copy of the U.S. Constitution before you break anymore laws…

FYI:

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.

An interesting new website for info on HR Law impacting Federal Workers is live at fedhrlaw.org. Check it out.

Every disaster movie starts with scientists being ignored. Good thing we’re not doing that.

@corybooker.com hello I used to run the Wendy’s Twitter account and I am begging you to let me help you with the dems social media strategy, I will literally do it for free at this point

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

The federal government's new top HR attorney has said "Consent is probably modern society’s most pernicious fetish" and "Slaves owe us reparations," according to a new report from @pogo.org. www.pogo.org/investigatio...
