We were promised transparency—they classified everything. We were promised efficiency—they put everything under the control of one man. We were promised less bureaucracy—they privatized it. This is the most corrupt and lawless administration in American history.

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.

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt. This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

Donald Trump has released a new EO to "eradicate anti-Christian bias." What is one of the examples of "anti-Christian bias" cited in his order? The recognition by Biden of Transgender Day of Visibility, which fell on the same day as Easter Sunday last year. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Apparently, allowing Americans to file their tax returns for free is a bad thing. A big gift to the Big Tax lobby and a big middle finger to Americans.

Too many left-of-center politicians and institutions are unwilling to come to grips with the reality that when the state, courts, and law are weaponized against you, the only way to fight involves a willingness to break the law.

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it. It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

Important time to reflect on why you should be making noise when you see the far right rising in any country (or even around you). We outnumber the fascists. Anytime its manifested itself in the form of hatred towards LGBTQ+ people or minorities we've eventually banded together to defeat it

Americans voted for cheaper groceries. Less than a week on the job and Trump's already managed to get us into a trade war that will drive up the cost of coffee and be a gut-punch to American farmers and manufacturers, all because Colombia hurt his feelings.

🚨 Today Target said it will end its three-year DEI goals, stop reports to external diversity-focused groups like the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index and end a program focused on carrying more products from Black- or minority-owned businesses. You guys know what to do?!

RFKs plan to eliminate pesticides and genetically modified foods without viable alternatives would precipitate massive crop failures and cause global food shortages. While it's preferable not to use gmos and pesticides, we would not be able to produce cheap grain at current scale without them.

If they dismantle the Department of Education, they will effectively dismantle college education. If they end federal student loans, Pell grants, and other funding, most colleges would be insolvent over night and most college students would be forced to drop out.
