Everyone needs to see this. Be ready to deny access, even if you don't know any immigrants. Let them waste time and you might save a family somewhere else. #Disobey #blue #fotus #FBR #immigrants #TruthWarriors #theresistance #resist #FBPE #FuckICE #SaveOurDemocracy #sanctuary #organize #fucktrump

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.

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

Well… today I have my first DOGE subcommittee hearing along with a Judiciary hearing, all while DC is snowed in! If I had normal coworkers & the country wasn’t going to hell lead by DOGE Douchebags, I’d say, “nothing to see here,” but something tells me, today is going to be pure insanity…

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed. Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly. Yet another reason he must be rejected.

It's Black History Month! Every day for Black History Month, I'm highlighting one of my favorite Black writers or authors. Today I'm highlighting a personal hero of mine: Angela Davis. Not only is she on the shortlist of smartest people alive, she's also a prolific defender of the marginalized.

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.

James Baldwin, a voice for the voiceless, spoke deeply about the "rage" felt by Black Americans in the face of systemic oppression. His writings remind us that the anger born from generations of injustice is not simply a reaction, but a call for change. 1/3

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’ Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

I am so happy to be a writer and a teacher. I get to escape this crazy shit while I'm buried in my characters' lives, and I get to plant important seeds in the minds of my young learners. It's good to escape, but it's also important to keep the truth of things from becoming buried.

When the author pushed back and asked Meta's chatbot LLaMA questions, the bot just made shit up. This is more than troubling. It's simply broken.
