In 2020, the military was adamant about refusing to get involved in the election. That's why Trump hates General Mark Milley so much. Now, Trump is transforming the military into one that will back him up in 2029. We need to figure out how to prepare for that eventuality.

If you support the LGBTQ community I’d like to ask a big favor of you. Please give @robertcooper-us.bsky.social and his amazing hubby @joncooper-us.bsky.social a follow! They are one of the big reasons our #MEGABOOSTs are so successful and we end up getting so many followers. Thanks all! 💙

The National Institutes of Health had to stop considering new grant applications, delaying funding for research into diseases ranging from heart disease and cancer to Alzheimer's and allergies.

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

Wow! Congrats to Bluesky for passing the milestone of 32 MILLION users. Spread the word!! 💙🦋 bsky-users.theo.io

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

ICYMI — under Trump the USDA has suspended the 1890 farm bill scholarship program that went to HBCU’s, including Tennessee State University, to increase the number of students studying agriculture and related majors. www.reuters.com/world/us/usd...

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

"... finally got that government job, I think, about six months ago –– well, he's laid off now. So his kid, his wife, all of that promise, it's totally gone."

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.

“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.”

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.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Just like we shouldn’t be firing FAA employees when commercial airliners are flipping upside down.

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

It feels like people are waking up

"In his first term, Trump failed to build a wall. He failed to marshal the resources from Congress, failed to gain a consensus of American opinion and failed at everything administrations do in a democracy to advance policy."

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well. His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel. Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Says the guy who won't even respond to the mothers of his own children

Elon’s evil munchkins sent this ridiculous email out to all 2 million or so Federal employees demanding they reply by midnight Monday. If you want to let them know what you did last week I’m bet they’d love to hear from you at [email protected]! I can’t wait to tell them about my norovirus symptoms!

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

DOGE staffers at Social Security Administration as per Social Security Works: Marko Elez (who resigned after his RACIST posts resurfaced & then reinstated), Ethan Shaotran, Nikhil Rajpal, and Gautier Cole-Killian. Call your members of Congress & tell them to protect OUR money, OUR Social Security.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

It's Black History Month, so I'm going to share the story of an unsung hero who deserves to be much more widely known, certainly among New Yorkers. (And it's President's Day, so I will throw in a cameo involving one of our least-known presidents to boot). /1

Trump is preparing to wipe out years of progress on "ghost guns," backgrounds checks, red flag laws, and more.

NY City Council speaker Adrienne Adams: "With the resignation of deputy mayors, it has become clear that Mayor Adams has now lost the confidence and trust of his own staff, his colleagues in government, and New Yorkers. He now must prioritize New York City and New Yorkers, step aside and resign."

As the NYC Council Finance Chair, I don't see how the mayor can continue leading the city under such chaos and turmoil. Working families are struggling to get by, and nobody can afford a crisis of confidence. Too much at stake. Too much work to do. Mayor Adams must resign.

🚨BREAKING: Michelle King, the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration, was ousted after denying Elon Musk access to “sensitive files,” the Washington Post reports This. Is. Insane.

This Presidents’ Day for me ironically is not about the guy in the White House. It’s about US: our healthcare, our paychecks, our kids, our future. Let’s fight for them!

Could someone out there write a definitive guide on convenient alternatives to using Amazon.com for goods and books and whatnot? Asking for some folks who don’t want to see democracy die in darkness.

This is what our Transportation Secretary was doing yesterday as planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. I cannot remember a more dangerous time to fly and yet this reality TV actor-turned-Cabinet Secretary is busy watching cars drive laps at the Daytona 500.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”

True words.

Build the wall! Around DOGE!
