The Department of Ed has a form to snitch on DEI policies in schools. I’d be a shame if we broke it with thousands of responses… enddei.ed.gov

OK longtime Capitol Hill (and now former) journalist here. Hi. Gonna put together a little "How to Reach Your Member" primer here for ya. FIRST BIG RULE: Do not do anything that in any way threatens, implies a threat, etc to a member. This is intended to help you in productive ways.

If I were a Democrat, and I saw Trump do a purge of high-level generals who were women and people of color and wouldn't be "yes men," I wouldn't vote to advance JD Vance's college friend for Secretary of the Army. And yet....16 Democrats just did so

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

Arresting someone for calling you fascist seems an excellent approach to proving their point.

I'm collecting followers. I'm at 330. It amuses me. What doesn't amuse is this country is half filled with people who have no compassion and will only gain empathy when it happens to them. A lot of bad stuff will happen since it's like the history I wrote for my future dystopian novel. Creepy.

🚨1 If you're attending a protest, make sure to save this post or the graphics in the thread. Knowing your rights, staying safe, & protecting others is essential. Be prepared, look out for each other, and keep fighting for what’s right. Stay safe out there! Credit meganthuy & blmlouisville IG

Some days I feel like all my best writing days are behind me. I accept that I feel that way and I'm still going to finish writing my book.

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.

Yes. Important for all NIH people and scientists: The executive orders are not law. The President cannot make laws. And in fact, executive orders may violate the law. As a federal employee, you are obligated not to follow illegal orders. That includes illegal EOs.

I'm working on my next book. It's future dystopian with a focus on the subjugation of women in a cult. It seemed so far-fetched when I began it 20 years ago. My goal is to finish it by November in time for its anniversary.

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
