There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

JFC indeed.

Money talks

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Email sent to all CFPB staff this morning: "Please do not perform any work tasks."

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

When you’re an oligarch, they let you do it. You can do anything…. grab ‘em by the Treasury. You can do anything.

Game on. Ready player 1. Red state 🇺🇸 liquor. Removed from 🇨🇦 shelves.

Pritzker: "He promised he was gonna lower costs & make us safer. He's done none of it. I realize he's only been in office 2 weeks, but it's gotten worse, not better. You think grocery prices have gone down? No, they've gone up bc of what he's threatening or what he's already put in place"

I think countries around the world should levy tariffs specifically on Tesla in response to US tariffs, as well as banning Twitter as a national security threat driving a wedge between our co-dictators may be the most effective thing they can do

This photo hits hard.

As a casual non-white observer, it’s so bizarre to see folks work so hard to try to prove their superiority over someone like me when they could spend that time actually bettering their own lives and…I don’t know, be happy instead of miserable fucks.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

"I was a heroin addict for 14 years," RFK Jr just now in his bid to be confirmed as Secretary of HHS. Imagine a person of color or a woman saying that and people shrugging it off as cool. That is 100% pure uncut white male privilege right there.

Lunacy

Hey Jim- You were the best that @cnn.com had to offer & will be deeply missed! I look forward to the next chapter in your career & I'm not just saying that because of the killer Yoda impression you did when I was on your show.

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...

Resist. Fight. FAFO (blue hat, white letters).

Really love this cartoon from the great Michael De Adder. The outpouring of support coming in has been truly amazing! Thanks everybody!

This atrocity can NEVER be repeated. Fearful for all the hat resonating from America due to Felon47.

On Sunday, a transgender woman who is currently in prison sued Donald Trump, Acting A.G. McHenry, and the head of the Bureau of Prisons due to her treatment in the wake of the Jan. 20 anti-trans "sex" definition executive order. Read it all at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/trans-woma...

You want to become more involved in fighting for our democracy? Here are a few suggestions to start small and to find something that resonates! Let’s do this!

Per an NIH source: “Discussions with colleagues have suggested that if the universities all come together and raise hell about the delays to funding caused by not holding meetings, that might move the needle. From every state. There are well-funded universities in red states that will be impacted.”

Sen. Thom Tillis will be remembered by history as a coward. For not, let us work to see that he is defeated in Nov. 2026.

Felon47 leading by example for RTO for all Federal employees.

Oh, per @nbcnews.com: Quaker groups file suit over the end of policy restricting ICE arrests in houses of worship. Note: Quakers were some of the earliest supporters of Sanctuary, even putting out a booklet on the topic in 1984 (it's still available). www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

They tried to erase history. We loudly said "Hell no." They folded. We should say "Hell no" a lot more.

Question for OPM: about 30% of federal workers at the VA are Veterans. They were given a preference for hiring because they're Veterans. Disabled Veterans got a higher preference. They are DEIA hires. Are you going to fire them all? Are you going to end Veterans preference?

#felon47 may claim immunity for his actions as he does not have the intellect to understand what his actions can be legally. He doesn’t care if illegal as he will simply sue. So, let’s arm the IGs with ample representation.

As we endure these unprecedented assaults on our institutions and Democracy by Felon47 please take these wise words from James Baldwin to heart! We are the #Opposition let’s make their inhumanity our sole focus. Call it out every damn day!!

FAFO

Start small. Incremental expansion. We can collectively do this!
