It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I need everyone to be crystal clear that this is a continuation of RFK and the wellness community’s obsession with the elimination of the disabled and the chronically ill. They are disgusted by us, they view illness and disability as weakness, and they believe in using eugenics to disappear us.

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

"Pardoning political loyalists, whose convicted conduct would otherwise fall on the extreme end of the category of so-called “violent criminals” he aims to punish, makes clear that the Trump admin is only performatively concerned with public safety." Read more ⤵️

DID YOU KNOW: Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol was given a private jet to commute from Southern California to Seattle? DID YOU ALSO KNOW: Starbucks paid Brian Niccol $800k a DAY in 2024... all while the company told union baristas they didn't want to offer us a living wage? Enough is enough.

A proposal: Academic researchers and folks in similar positions, consider writing an op-Ed, or at least a letter to the editor, in your local paper about what these horrific decisions will do to jobs and services in your local community. I train scientists to write op-Ed’s and I can help.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

Happy President’s Day from Union Square in NYC, where over 10,000 people filled the streets to oppose the Musk-Trump coup. Impassioned calls for Congress to do their job. The Resistance Revival Chorus led the march down Broadway. #StopTheCoup #ResistTheDictators #NotMyPresidentsDay

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

The right thing to do is to put out a statement saying that Democrats will consider this to be insurrection against the US government and Constitution, and that those who take seriously their oath have 1 week to arrest and detain Musk or be considered offering him aid and comfort.

There are monsters among us: The politicians doing this. “It’s not ethical to stop treatment in any patient, whether it’s hormone treatment or anything else, without measuring the consequences of what you’re doing. You can’t just stop medication and say, ‘Good luck.’” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/08/n...

Grew up in greater KC and can confirm. KC houses an IRS service center, major GSA, VA, & Agriculture operations, federal courts, a Federal Reserve branch, & more. Historically the Feds liked it bc relatively low cost of living made it cheaper to staff offices there than East Coast

Funny how the stats are presented by the media only AFTER the election and AFTER the executive order is signed. As if they didn't exist before. Really top journalistic ethics.

If our country survives this crisis, I hope the experience will show Americans 2 important things: 1. That government is a necessary good--not the evil that Ronald Reagan warned us about. Air traffic control & food safety inspections are great, actually. 2. We have to enforce the laws on rich ppl.

Something the "so you think the law means anything now" doomers fail to grasp: the importance of buying time. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, has infinite resources and infinite capacity for managing complexity. Make your opponent work. Make their every decision complex and their every move costly.
