Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

What some of you fail to recognize is that all of these #FederalJobs being slashed with disregard had a hiring preference for #veterans. So veterans are being fired without cause at a higher rate.

“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.

⚡️'No point trying to negotiate' with Putin, Yulia Navalnaya says. "Even if you decided to negotiate with Putin, just remember he will lie," Navalnaya, widow of late Russian dissident Alexei Navalny, said at the Munich Security Conference two days before the anniversary of her husband's death.

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.

Watch out folks. I just got this scam text. www.newsweek.com/fastrak-toll...

In the 20th century, they were known as "concentration camps." Now, they are simply called "housing." Doesn't that sound so much more humane? Voila, problem solved!

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

I love the irony of a leak about leaks. www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/...

It seems to me that the highest/classiest form of crime is the art heist. But it occurs me that this is more of a European thing. My guess is that Americans are less likely to visit a museum than Europeans 😆 Anyway, the numbers support my hypothesis. www.statista.com/chart/amp/30...

I had been thinking this same thing. Two can play at Trump’s game - especially when one of those two is the fifth largest economy in the world.

FINALLY we are seeing some pushback from SOMEBODY! Lawyer up, Donnie

Who thinks that #JackSmith should get hired by the ICC so he can investigate Trump’s violations of national sovereignty of our foreign allies?

Has anyone noticed that the whitehouse.gov website has removed the contact/email portal? Trump is too sensitive to hear feedback from the American people.

Which style of BandAid should I buy?

Why aren’t the #JamesBeard finalists called “nom nom nominees”?

This from @aoc.bsky.social. The targeting of migrants for detention & deportation, without due process, is an outrage in itself. But it’s also about profiteering. “I want folks at home to look at which members of congress are invested in private prison companies…& look at the votes on this bill.”

Boycott the TV station and hire the meteorologist.
