“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” James Baldwin

I just booked a train ticket across country instead of flying. Too few employees, too many crashes. #Airplanes #AirplaneCrash #FAA #DOGE

Investigators seized 207 pounds, with a value of at least $1 million, a year ago, and the courier caught was sentenced to prison this week.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

“If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then DOGE’s tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.” www.propublica.org/article/doge...

More of this. Do not give in.

Happy Black History Month

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

"Black bookstores saw a spike in interest after 2020’s social justice movement. But that support has waned, they say, and with the economic downturn since the pandemic and competition from online retailers, business has been sluggish." chicago.suntimes.com/books/2025/0...

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

If nobody else wants to say the quiet part out loud, then I will: Jasmine Crockett for Speaker of the House. She’s everything we need in a leader right now.

Important 🧵: Stanford political scientist uses data to show DOGE is attacking “liberal” agencies, not focusing on waste & inefficiency: “The hardest hit agencies are those that regulate industry, protect public health, and expand access to education.”

Mexico is suing Google for renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Take a look:

Hurricane, who was a Special Operations Canine for the Secret Service, became the most decorated dog in U.S. history. He died this week at the age of 16.

I absolutely without question blame Trump and his goon squad for proliferating hatred. My heart aches for this family. 💔

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Over 120,000 Japanese Americans forced into imprisonment in internment camps simply because they were of Japanese heritage.

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.

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

The ranchera and bolero singer took aim at machismo as if it were a piñata. For decades, she wrote and sang feminist anthems full of pain, rage and empowerment.

🚨 FLASHBACK: 2011 🚨 In 2011, Congressional Republicans cut their budgets to reduce government spending. 💰✂️ Now, under the Trump Administration’s efforts to reduce spending, who in Congress is willing to do their part again? Will they cut their budgets or keep spending YOUR tax dollars on waste?

As climate scientists predicted decades ago, climate change means weather chaos (with crop failure & food insecurity worldwide) "Unprecedented! Normally, we'd see a disruption of the POLAR VORTEX every other year or so. THIS NEXT POLAR VORTEX EVENT WILL MAKE 10 THIS WINTER!" via Glenn Burns

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...
