Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

He ruins everything he touches. Every sports team (and fan) should be thinking about the Trump curse www.nhl.com/news/trump-c...

Lest we forget this man is now in charge of HHS. Which includes ACF. Which administers the federal funds, and drives all related policies, for the foster care system in this country.

Having a sewage line backup is really peak 2025

The Canadian goals at Four Nations have been beauties. That McDavid one was fantastic

FWIW Canada, I’ve been booing the US national anthem at hockey games this week too. Have at it and don’t let them tell you to stop because of “respect” which my country’s leadership haven’t shown literally anyone, inside or outside the country

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

This has been one of the worst days in quite sometime. I cannot even imagine firing IHS direct service providers and the burden on those who remain

People keep talking about the Gulf of Mexico, and yes, that, but goddamn I am going to call it Denali until I die and you should, too.

I don’t have a “the best people I know are getting fired by this corrupt regime” flag so I went with this one today.

NEW: At least three more DOJ Public Integrity Unit senior officials have resigned after meeting with Emil Bove on the Eric Adams case. Five in Public Integrity overall. That’s six officials who resigned, triple the number that happened during the Saturday Night Massacre.

There’s an important distinction when we are talking about attorneys. As I’ve been teaching this semester each of us as attorneys have our individual duty to the rules of our profession. We can personally lose our licenses if we violate those rules, even if on behalf of the USDOJ.

When I had a series of panic attacks from 3am to 3pm the day after the election, the two main issues I couldn’t get out of my head were the leadership of HHS and our role in the international community. And here we are. Right where I knew we’d be. It took less than a month.

And also because there are four lights, not five. www.startrek.com/news/the-fou...

Strange times when your AF+ cycling coach shows more leadership, revolutionary fervor and celebration of Black excellence in a 20 minute ride than the Senate has shown all year

“It is important to realize that many of the administration’s so-called ‘wins’ in the first three weeks have come when entities preemptively accede to Trump’s wishes without even challenging them.” The anger I have about this part knows no bounds

🎯

I hate to inform you of this, but you are, in fact, the adult in the room.

If we can’t have the Lions in the Super Bowl, at least we got Sam and Tim

I mean this might be my entire personality 😬

If you don’t know what indirect rates are and why they are vital to maintaining R1 research universities and oh, I don’t know, vital medical institutions where we get our care, you’d best learn quickly

I’ll take the anti-Sauron forces all day and twice on Sunday

the fucking enforcement arm of the federal government is launching a war on integration an effort to push tens of millions of americans to the bottom of an arbitrary hierarchy of value and yeah, it pisses me off to see nominal allies say “oh yeah maybe they have a point”

Indivisible pushing Dem senators to use every means at their disposal to grind things to a halt while the Musk coup is ongoing. indivisible.org/resource/tel...

People really need to get educated on Canadian politics. Doug Ford is under investigation, among other things www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... and this action is self serving given his call for a snap election in ONT Conservatives are likely to win the next national election with their own Trump light.

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

YES. This is exactly my position.
