The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

A quick reminder for the folks who haven't been paying attention: The Russians are the bad guys. The Nazis were the bad guys. NATO is the greatest security alliance in history. The US dissing our allies and aligning with Team Bad Guys makes us less secure and more hated around the world.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Oh crap. This definitely is a coup. Private paramilitary keeping public officials out of a fed dept building. Where is the legacy media on this? Zero sense of urgency. Who paid for this security? fElon is already breaking the law. If he's paid for these goons it just raises the stakes.

It is a coup. From here, Musk will continue to "move fast and break things" in an effort to completely dismantle the US government. Once democracy falls, he and other oligarchs will buy up and privatize everything they can: thus owning every company, every service, and every transaction.

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

Trans kids are not a bargaining chip. Being trans isn’t a culture war. Not giving an inch in my support for trans and nonbinary people of all ages to live freely and openly, and neither should you. Gender is what we make of it, and that’s what they’re afraid of.

As a licensed psychologist I am saying with my whole chest: Gender-affirming care for young people is health care. Medically necessary, age-appropriate, science-backed, life-saving health care, supported by EVERY major medical association. It is our duty to protect trans youth at all costs.

Article I says Congress makes laws and has power of the purse. Article II requires POTUS to faithfully execute laws. Refusing to execute laws so he can usurp Congress’s budgetary authority is unconstitutional. A self-respecting Congress would do a veto-proof resolution, and if necessary, impeach.
