Members of the military are supposed to be loyal to the Constitution, not the president. Changing that seems to have been the point of the Friday Night Massacre. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

Just reached 290,000 followers here on Bluesky, and, well: Wow. Thank you for being part of my experience here. To celebrate this really cool milestone, I've donated to Black Girls Do STEM, because we need diversity in STEM fields more than ever these days. Onward! bgdstem.com

Thing is Trumps Chickens are coming home to roost and most are dying He can’t keep making excuses Gas prices have risen and he promised drill baby drill My 401k is taking a hit Wait u til tariffs hit home and the supply chain gets disrupted We are run by a government of idiots and it. Shows

You don't fire Judge Advocates General unless you plan on issuing unlawful orders. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-f...

This hits hard.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

I got pummeled on TikTok for saying this a few weeks ago, but it's absolutely true: we are going to have to embrace discomfort and self-denial and gain some skills immediately if we want to defeat fascism in America.

BREAKING: Musk is slashing jobs at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration—the people INVESTIGATING Tesla’s deadly crashes. That’s not coincidence. It’s corporate manslaughter. www.1news.co.nz/2025/02/23/m...

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

Please, instead of spending your valuable dollars to make rich people richer on Feb. 28th, send it to Ukraine on that day. Find a noble Ukrainian cause and make a small donation. I think they could use everyone's help! Thank you.

$200 million taxpayer dollars spent on “tell me I’m pretty” ads to stroke his own ego, while he fires people to “save money.” Sociopathic.

The President who was doing flyovers at Daytona and golfing through his presidency wants an accounting of every federal employee’s work week or they will be fired. This while Elon Musk won’t account for any of his time to Congress.

Make it make sense! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Lol. My department just sent out an email saying not to reply to Musk's "What did you do last week?" email until they receive guidance. Some have received it, I have not.

Infuriating! 😡 Don’t Cut My Medicaid! The majority of my son’s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! 🤬 And we’re not alone!

Way to go, Sheryl!!

Dan Caine, Trump’s new replacement for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reportedly told Trump, “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.” He also put on a MAGA hat, despite it violating military protocol.

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

New York Times finds multiple accounting errors in the minimal data DOGE has released!

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

One of the small pleasures of being terminally online is blocking a troll less than five seconds after he leaves an obnoxious comment, he doesn't even get to linger in the afterglow of his own cleverness before he gets sent to the cornfield

Pay attention!

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

oh boy -- Rich McCormick bailed on CNN after his ill-fated town hall

This is the right message. What we're witnessing is a socioeconomic sickness. Megalomania brought on by severe concentration of wealth. It will destroy everything if it's not addressed

2 Americans in the hotel last night were complaining that Canadians were still going on about the Hockey game win. Saying they get that they are mad about the 51st State stuff but they need to get over it. It was 3 hrs after the game. How long are we allowed to celebrate a win? 🤦‍♂️

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.
