Let's be clear: CQ Brown was fired because Trump and Hegseth couldn't see past his skin color. General Brown has 40 years of distinguished service. Trump and Hegseth just want yes men who look like them. This is destabilizing for our nation.

@malcolmhq.bsky.social continues to deliver the 🔥 & strength we need. “Trump and Musk’s reckless cuts put working families at risk—slashing food inspectors, air traffic controllers, and life-saving researchers. This isn’t just dangerous—it’s illegal.” Bravo Malcolm! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

DID YOU KNOW: As Trump/Musk fire anyone in the fed government that participated in diversity, equity & inclusion, he just nominated Kimberly Richey for Asst Sec Office of Civil Rights at the Dept of Education. During Trump's 1st term, she ESTABLISHED the DEI office people are now being fired from.

We aren’t all farmers…

I filed this complaint against the ICE prosecutor who was secretly running a white supremacist X account. I asked the Office of Disciplinary Counsel in Washington, DC to suspend his license to practice law immediately. Here is a link to the complaint. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

@cherijacobus.bsky.social Are you aware of whether anyone has actually talked with Pete about this? He can do it from Michigan, no need to move. This is the only thing that has given me any hope.

He doesn't need to move to DC. It doesn't need to be anything official. He needs to just be a voice. He can do it from his home in Michigan. We just need a voice to inform, educate, explain. To get reality out there. And no one does it like Pete!

Not a single story in the @nytimes.com about Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, a young girl who died by suicide after kids bullied her about her family being deported by Trump. The Times DID report the day after Laken Riley's body was found. BOTH are horrific, tragic deaths. Only one reported. Why

Time to stop pretending what's happening isn't real.

@thedemocraticparty.bsky.social is fighting back! “What the president is doing is illegal,” Kenyatta said…Monday. “These are not discretionary funds that he gets to decide, they’re funds appropriated by Congress for things that really matter in people’s lives.” www.phillytrib.com/news/local_n...

To be clear: the United States Government deployed this family to a country with substandard healthcare with the promise that help would be on the way if they ever needed it. Now, Donald Trump twice denied this woman a potentially life-saving, embassy-requested medevac.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

"“What’s the point of fighting cybercrime if we’re just going to give access for government networks to people with cybercriminal gang affiliations?” says a cybersecurity researcher who tracks cybercriminal groups."

IL Gov. Pritzker is one of the great leaders of our time. You can watch his full IL budget address here. If you forward to the 26 minute mark, you can watch as he shifts to a dire warning about the direction our country is taking, but also words of hope. We should all take heed.

But but RFK Jr. promised he woudn’t do crazy things! Pinky swear and all!

#BlueskyResistance #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue In the spirit of “Maintain Your Sense of Humor” I’m just gonna leave this here…

'Very haphazard': Ex-federal prosecutor slams 'real failure of transparency' with DOGE’s mass layoffs: Since Donald Trump started his second presidency almost a month ago, his administration and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — led by SpaceX/Tesla/X.com CEO Elon Musk — have targeted…

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!

JUST IN: A federal judge has ordered the reinstatement of Cathy Harris atop the Merit Systems Protection Board, ruling that Trump's decision to fire her exceeded his authority. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It seems to me that if Musk has proof that millions of social security checks have gone out illegally to dead people, he should be presenting that evidence in front of a grand jury under oath tomorrow instead of shitposting it on social media. When can we do this under oath?

Because you are sucking up to the owner of your newspaper?

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social Yes, please.

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Rolling Stone: Thuggish imbecile Tom Homan again publicly asking corrupt DOJ to prosecute AOC for informing her constituents of their rights. AOC: “I’m glad Mr Homan is checking with DOJ to familiarize himself with the limits of his agency’s authority.”
