Empowering Women through knowledge! womenrefusingtobeerased.org

I repeat…

I have a piece up at Time Magazine’s Made by History section about how Trump is following Nixon’s playbook to unilaterally shut down federal agencies, and how unions and the courts can fight back. time.com/7216368/trum...

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

So proud of Maryland's senators, calling out the fact that an unelected, unqualified, private person without security clearance, who doesn't care about workers is trying to take over the Social Security Administration! #fightback

They are gutting the office for research on women’s health. Even if you’re a MAGA woman (imagine that)! You can find what used to be there using the wayback machine. This is a 5-alarm fire!! Please call your MoC 202-224-2131 🗣️ arghavansallesmd (IG) www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2BAng9x/ #womenshealth

Tell Congress: Don't cut Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Looking forward to participating in the Big Ten Democracy Summit at the University of Maryland School of Public Policy on Tuesday, Feb 11. I’ll be discussing the challenges of disinformation.

Here is one reason Musk-Trump want to cut funding to the NIH "Project 2025 — a policy blueprint written by Trump’s allies — tied indirect costs to DEI work, saying that a cap would “help reduce federal taxpayer subsidization of leftist agendas.”" www.chronicle.com/article/rese...

Ed Martin, who was in the mob outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, is now leading the U.S. attorney’s office, and has been put in charge of dismantling the sprawling investigation of Jan. 6 that he has energetically opposed. nyti.ms/4jQBC0O

Listen to Secretary Pete. And remember, these are our funds. These are our courts. And these are our streets.

Is NPR gone?

No one gave the government permission to weaponize confidential financial & personal information against American citizens. Certainly no one gave Musk the right to steal private data—presumably to assist in cutting taxes for himself + other billionaires. www.aft.org/press-releas...

Like Uday and Qusay Hussein

Any chance there are three more Republicans in the Senate who care enough about the country to stop a wildly unqualified drunken lech from becoming the Secretary of Defense?

In 2004, I interviewed for a teaching position. The principal asked me how many kids I had. I answered. He asked if I was planning to have more —said he couldn’t afford to have another teacher out on maternity leave. This is why women need protections, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Just going to drop this here…

He literally took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution on Monday. Since then, he's tried to overrule 14A (birthright citizenship) and is now challenging 22A (terms limits for the president). Seems odd.

Evening chuckle.

Man, it would be embarrassing if every. Single. Person. Reposted this humiliating inaugural performance.

I'll be adding "cocksucker" to my descriptive terms of profanity over the next few years. This is your chance to unfollow if such things offend you.

Permanent mood.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Prove me wrong.

SNOW ON HALEAKALA MAUI!

Possibly the best clap back against ignorant antivaxxers.

We are experiencing lot of VOG in Maui, smoke from the erupting Kīlauea Volcano on the Big Island. People with asthma/breathing issues beware! 🌋
