Donald Trump replacing a black four-star general with a white three-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is everything MAGA claims they hate about DEI: giving a less qualified person the job based on their race, not their resume.

My cats have been terrorizing this little guy for days, and he keeps hiding in the storage closet before we can catch him. With a container, thread, sweet treats, and a pen, I successfully trapped him and set him free. I feel so capable. I can do anything. 😅🐁

Have you seen this representative? I can only assume she is missing, since she won't return my calls. #tennessee #congress #easttennessee

Just called my rep about dismantling the Dept of Ed- Asked how schools would get federal funding if it's gone. Staffer said funding would come through a "theoretical department". What does that even mean? They had no answers. I am ashamed that Diana represents my district, and I will vote her out.

If you're near Knoxville, Bring signs & meet others who are opposed to the damage that our Reps continue to let "President" Musk do to Tennesseans as he pulls money out of our economy. They're staging protests all over the country-check to find one close to you 02/17 www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Not everyone wants to hear a voice of reason right now. But I'm not here to be what everyone wants. We have to understand how we got here so we can better resist it. youtu.be/2HfKDRgiEfE

The White House profile pic on Twitter shows America in darkness. In only this superficial White House were introspective enough for this to be intentional.

Doesn’t seem equal right now. 📌 The U.S. Constitution establishes three separate but equal branches of government.

I'm calling it right now. Soon, conservatives will be calling our Constitution "communist" and demanding it be eradicated.

Is this the announcement that they have shut down the Department of Education?

So proud of our Democratic members of Congress, right now! They’re being blocked from the Dept. of Education—and they’re not having it. Seeing Auntie Maxine ready to fight for our kids warms my soul. She hasn’t changed. Waters isn’t my congresswoman, but we love her in this house!

Please tell your Reps that you disapprove of Elon Musk’s illegal takeover of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the federal payment system. This is a blatant power grab that endangers federal workers, retirees, and the integrity of our government’s payroll system. 1 minute of your day.

That everyone is just sitting back watching private citizens openly hacking into government systems shows what dangerous times we live in. That their made-up “agency” is named after a canine internet meme shows what stupid times we live in.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Calling your reps can be scary. Even if your voice shakes, stand your ground. I finally got through to someone at my local rep's office, & while she seemed annoyed initially, I let my passion speak for me. The call ended very nicely, and I was guaranteed a response back. Keep calling your reps!!

Donald Trump just announced a task force to eliminate "anti-Christian bias" in the federal government. I went through his executive order. It doesn't include a single credible example of anti-Christian bias. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/trumps-tas...
