I repeat…

This Michael Steele explosion was worth scraping off of X and posting here: x.com/MikeSington/...

✅ DEI Job of the Day™ Levi Strauss & Co. Head of Talent, Diversity & Inclusion - GPO "Cultivating a diverse and inclusive workplace" "It’s not just the right thing to do — it’s a business imperative. We know that companies are stronger and more successful when they are diverse and inclusive."

Yeah this is what fascists and dictators have said in the past. If Republicans want us to accept Trump as a King above the law they should just admit it.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Elon Musk reportedly spent $40M on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful. Here’s how we would’ve spent that $$: 🏈Bought 29K tons of produce and vegetable oil from American farmers to feed people, reducing mass migration youtu.be/PqUESHfuO_8 #saveforeignaid #standwithUSAID

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

People are going to die. People who have protected us, people who believed in us. Donald Trump and Elon Musk and the Republicans in Congress have blood on their hands.

This is so good.

One of the reasons he had his hackers steal your data.... goes a long way to building out the platform when you had the financial data for 300+ million Americans and know the back of the treasury system. Of course, I certainly don't also rule out espionage.

Never saw myself posting Reagan, but there’s where we are.

This is a national emergency:

The digital infrastructure of the United States Government is both critical and fragile. Many of us who work in digital government have been trying to figure out what’s going on as norms and protocols are being subverted — Thread on some of what we know so far:

Last night, I had a dream and the only word I remember from it is mobilization. We need a national mobilization now. Federal workers, people of color, immigrant allies, LGBTQ plus, Democrats, every one of us needs to be in the streets. And we can’t wait until March. February 8, anyone?

You're not overwhelmed. You're under attack.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

For all federal employees: Before you are locked out of your systems, ensure you have copies of unclassified performance appraisals, awards & other relevant personnel docs. If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS NEWS: Acting Treasury Secretary, David A. Lebryk: “the highest-ranking career official at the Treasury Department is departing after a clash with allies of billionaire Elon Musk over access to sensitive payment systems.” (Gift link here: wapo.st/4jH7XYa)

The entire website for the NIH Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH) is very nearly stripped bare. This is so, so devastating. orwh.od.nih.gov/research/fun...

I am very much in favor of merit-based hiring and high standards for jobs with life and death implications. Which is why I oppose confirming Pete Hegseth, RFK JR, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel.

So let me get this straight…Trump is saying DEI could be responsible for this air crash. Thennnnn, commenced to introduce a Real World alumni (Duffy) and a FOX News host (Hegseth) as experts.😵‍💫 Everything is upside down…my head is spinning!

Who the hell is running this country? How is it you have the president, the vice president, the secretary of defense and the secretary of transportation at a press conference? Why aren’t they out doing the work of the voters?

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

Trump begins his statement on the DC air crash with a moment of silence, then goes on to bash people with disabilities and every person who’s ever been involved with air safety.

@support.bsky.team @bsky.app how does Discover section work? In the biggest news week I’ve ever seen, there will be 5-6 rather dated subjects, hour after hour, with no updates. Right now there is one. Why?

. @kenwhite.bsky.social , is it a good idea to publicly announce “this thing we’re doing is just bullshit to fool the judge” while litigation is pending

Citrus growers report worker absences and fruit rotting; 35+ million laying hens culled because of H5N1 and now 74% of California’s dairy herds are testing positive. How exactly are grocery prices coming down?
