I miss DEI

A coalition of federal unions and advocacy groups challenged Elon Musk’s order for nearly two million federal employees to explain via email what they accomplished over the past week or face dismissal.

You first.

America Has a Rogue President By Frank Kendall Former secretary of the Air Force “President Trump’s decision to fire senior military leaders without cause is foolish and a disgrace. It politicizes our professional military in a dangerous and debilitating way.”— www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/o...

If you feel this way, you're not along. And together, we're going to keep the Republic. Pass it on.

This is not okay. No one helped Dr. Teresa Borrenpohl as she was dragged out by people that the Sheriff himself couldn’t identify. Why did no one stand up for her rights? I am not okay.👇

They are stealing from you.

Trump’s executive orders have blocked entrance to the country for more than 110,000 refugees, including thousands of Afghans who worked with the U.S. military. “We feel betrayed,” said one Afghan American soldier. With @texastribune.org

It is a test. A test that determines whether you work for the federal government, and your agency/department, or whether you work for Elon Musk. It is up to you whether you surrender your rights as civil servants, your pride, and your dignity. Once you do, he’ll be back for more.

of course it was---

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

Yup. No surprise 👇

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

He nails it.

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

Oh hell yes.

OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

Yay. Spring Training for BLUE JAYS starts now.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

Speak up. Be seen. Cause a commotion. We The People.

Classic con structure: the big returns are coming!

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

Trump Just Endorsed Sweeping Medicaid Cuts newrepublic.com/post/191703/... via @newrepublic.com

Slashing funding for life-saving treatment for personal gain: It's cruel, it's heartless, it's Elon.

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

“I’d understand a strategic reduction in force if needed,” said one USDA employee, who was fired over the weekend. “But this was a butchering of some of our best. Does the public know this?” this excellent WP story explains why the firings are illegal. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

He’s right again.
