I just want to thank multitudes of federal workers who have reached out to me with what’s going on in your respective agencies. It might not seem like much, but the simple act of reaching out is an act of resistance. So thank you 🙏

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202. I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

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.

1/ ❗Really chilling. Thanks to Sen. Mark Warner, for releasing Memo from acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove to FBI leadership ordering the purge. -Memo is a clear abuse of power and weaponization of DOJ -Memo bolsters FBI lawsuits filed today. VERY clear the list is for retaliatory purposes

The Supreme Court hasn’t helped. But we are here because of the narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy of too large a segment of the American population and its elected representatives.
