BREAKING: A MAGA bomb threat issued at the Principles First Summit in DC. I apologize for the language in it.

Say what you want about Kendrick but the fact that people are figuring out what “40 acres and a mule” in 2025 is why any education to black history is important, no matter no big nor small.

TAX THE CHURCHES TAX THE RICH REMOVE THE CAP FROM SOCIAL SECURITY CONTRIBUTIONS HANDS OFF OF SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, MEDICAID AND SNAP AGREE? ✋

The @principlesfirst.bsky.social conference was just evacuated due to a bomb threat. This is after Enrique Tarrio and members of the Proud Boys showed up and tried to disrupt the conference yesterday.

Former Capitol police officer Michael Fanone when confronting Proud Boys insurrectionist Enrique Tarrio: “You are a traitor to this country.” RETWEET if you stand with Officer Fanone!

There were 1,000 firings at my VA. I feel so sorry for them. Many hoping to earn a pension. One nurse told me "I've got 16 yrs in, I'm close, a pension is my dream". Now her dream is gone. Who voted for this moron? Is this what you wanted? They're treat these employees like garbage.

Voters told by republican that their voice is meaningless.. his will be after the next election apple.news/Ac5ymR4cXTW-...

Disgusting.

. General Mark Milley was right . . . ... and he's still right ! 💠 👊 💠

In Germany, Fasching is underway (like Mardi Gras or Carnival). It's usually marked by brutal political humor, and this year, Trump is getting the worst of it. He's viewed uniformly as Putin's bitch.

First the Kennedy Center, the JFK Library, and now the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library. You know you live in a totalitarian state when only the diapered Leader can determine what is acceptable. Get ready for women to lose the right to vote, too, cause you know that's coming as well.

Dear Christian-right, did you skip this part in the Bible?

Since Trump has claimed Elon doesn’t run DOGE, we wanted to make sure you know who is running our government. This list has been updated with 15 names.

The top 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

W.E.B. Du Bois on the white takeover of southern public schools after Reconstruction. Not a coincidence that the chapter, "Back Towards Slavery," follows his analysis of the eventual dedegration of the public school system. Attacks on education are vital to (re)instituting authoritarian rule.

Elmo’s current fraud, waste, and abuse of taxpayer money- the 5 point email.

“We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected.”

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

Trump’s executive order shutting down DEI claims that recruiting diverse applicants “diminishes the importance of individual merit, aptitude, hard work, and determination.” Donald Trump’s war on DEI isn’t about merit.

Hilarious. After the DOGErs set up the new government-wide all employee email system in late January OPM, where it is housed, sent out an advisory which states explicitly that no employee ever has to respond to any of the emails. See 4.2 and 4.3. www.opm.gov/media/kfpozk...

OPMs email servers trying to hold back all the external troll emails they’re getting in response to DOGE.

Get ready for a real impact on February 28th! We’re boycotting all corporate giants—If it’s not a small business, it’s off-limits! No gas, no fast food, no Amazon. If they can’t hear us, we’ll make them feel us. (PHASE 1)

Oaxaca, Mexico

BREAKING: Mysterious Deadly Outbreak in DRC 431 Cases, 53 Deaths as Ebola, Marburg Ruled Out In the first of the two outbreaks, children affected had prior contact with bats. Further investigations are ongoing for both incidents.

👀 NEW: the current under secretary of State for Management, Ambassador Tibor Nagy, has sent an email regarding OPM's request for five accomplishments: "No employee is obligated to report their activities outside of their department chain of command."

FOX: “Fair to say Russia attacked unprovoked?” HEGSETH: “Fair to say it’s a very complicated situation.”🤔 Again: The Trump administration has entirely adopted Putin’s framing of Russia’s War on Ukraine.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

Happy Birthday to WEB Du Bois, who wrote about the wildly important concept of psychological wages of whiteness in the first history of Reconstruction, *Black Reconstruction in America*, which he messily dedicated to his mistress, Dr. Virginia Alexander, and not his wife, Nina Gomer #BookSky

Can’t help but be reminded of the words of Russell Vought, now head of OMB: “We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected because they are increasingly viewed as villains. We want to put them in trauma.”

PRAMS is the source of data for basically every effort to limit infant mortality and all the health dangers mothers face before and after birth. So a pretty big deal the Elon and Co decided to cancel the program.

FINANCIAL TIMES: “🇺🇸 has turned on its friends — Trump’s abandonment of allies is real and will endure.” t.co/B9edBdlJH1 A friend high up in our recent foreign policy put it this way: “🇺🇸 just gave itself a Mike Tyson face tattoo that won’t come off for a generation.”

It’s not hyperbole to say that American science is being destroyed before our eyes.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Sending an email to employees asking them to list five things they did that week is a classic move from a manager who has no idea how to manage

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.

If you’re unsure what to do, ask your supervisors. Otherwise, don’t respond. Musk et al have zero legal authority to demand this and dish out consequences for non-compliance.

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

Musk's Tesla leads the automobile industry in the number of worker deaths. Just wait for the death count that Musk's government slashing and takeover is going to ignite. Death and cruelty is the Republican agenda. www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Trump’s betrayal of Americans: He promised not to cut Medicaid—now he’s backing a House plan that slashes $880 billion from it. All to fund $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich. He doesn’t care if families drown in debt, as long as he & his billionaire buddies get richer. Don’t Cut My Medicaid!
