It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

It's weirdly difficult to remember that Trump's popular vote margin was /less/ than Hillary's in 2016. Biden got more votes in 2020 than Trump got in 2024 and Trump surrogates all under-performed in congressional races. This is not a mandate, I don't get why it is being portrayed that way.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’ Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

The 050501 protest merged with this one, so it’s pretty big. There’s too many people and not enough speaker strength, so I’m just going to leave because I can’t hear anything, but can at least report it’s crowded!

Congressional delegation outside USAID now: “We are here to shed a light on a crime unfolding before our eyes.”

submitted 19 days ago • 1099 comments

My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, “What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”

Elon Musk claims it’s a crime to publish the names of the young engineers who work for him who have access to systems they shouldn’t. Here they are: Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Come and arrest me.

So-called president this weekend gave (free!) all your personal identity and financial data (social security number, bank account, birthdate etc.) to Elon Musk. His 5 18-24 year old employees downloaded it on Trumps orders. Also State Department classified files. HIGEST LEVEL CRIMINAL CORRUPTION

Over on the other site Elon Musk said that DOGE stopped $50M of condoms from being delivered to Gaza which Trump the repeated several times but it turns out that was the number for all contraceptive support from USAID everywhere on Earth, of which none went to Palestinians.

No surprise how incompetent the management of the so-called administration is revealed to me. Declaring a halt to all fund disbursements, chaos in essential services, lawsuits.

And now the incompetents in the White House saying “Oh, we didn’t really mean what we actually said. Just give us some time to figure out what we actually meant. Because, you know, we’re a kind of incompetence that deserves a little patience and respect.”

Just finished The Sand Creek Massacre by Gary L. Roberts. It should be must-reading for every Methodist in the USA. It is valuable reading for every USAmerican. The lessons from this history will bring the gift of humility to anyone with a soul. And it opens new windows on our present challenges.
