Not surprised that it's community colleges that are fighting back. Community colleges serve the greatest number of people facing systemic barriers. A large percentage of community college students are the first in their family to attend college.

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

In my self-defense classes I focus on how most people are socially conditioned to follow the norms of a civilized, polite society — and there is a MENTAL SHIFT required to use violence to defend from violence. I'm reminded of this while watching our elected officials dithering and delaying. 1/

This is a remarkable message. Although phrased politely and with no hint of disobedience, Acting FBI Director Driscoll is making clear to all that he's not onboard with Trump's purge. I would expect him to be removed from his position if they can find someone more willing to do Trump's bidding.

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

In 2019, when Trump wanted John Ratcliffe as his head of National Intelligence, Democrats called him shockingly unqualified, noting his only qualification was loyalty to Trump. Trump had to pull the nomination and do a recess appointment. Today, only 25 Dems voted against him for head of the CIA.
