We’re in a situation now where the president is unilaterally expanding his own authority beyond anything the constitution recognizes, and then we wait to see whether his deeply compromised judges will decide to change the law in his favor post-hoc.

Nothing says freedom and liberty like politicians pressuring businesses to go against what 98% of their shareholders want

I want every single trans person to read this document. It is important to understand what we are fighting against and the shamelessness of their hatred. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I don't know why y'all are reacting with such vigor, I'm clearly only talking about card suits. I mean I have ADHD and this was CLEARLY just an accident that people happened to interpret to mean something other than just card suits.

Updated DEI list of companies committed to DEI Costco, Meijer,Kroger,Giant Grocery,Ben & Jerry’s,Ulta,Macy’s, Old Navy,Nordstrom’s,TJ Maxx,GoTo Foods (includes Moe’s Southwest Grill, Mcalister’s, Auntie Anne’s, Jamba, Cinnabon, and more…),Dollar Tree, Walgreens, Wegmans (for those on the east coast)

The threat of ICE has tons of people on high alert, the result is claims of ICE seen without firm or specific info people can actually use — & sometimes, no ICE at all. It’s never “ICE spotted in Queens,” but “4 SUVs labeled DHS seen parked on 57th & 59th in Maspeth at 2:34pm.” Be specific!

Heard from inside the National Cancer Institute, part of NIH — travel through April is canceled. Purchasing with government card is frozen. All public comms are off limits. Can’t even submit abstracts to future meetings. Can’t submit *manuscripts* for publication. All hiring activity frozen. Fuck.

LATE NIGHT PURGE Trump just fired the Inspectors General of 12 federal agencies, clearing the way for him to appoint cronies who will turn a blind eye to waste, fraud and abuse. 🎁 Gift Article:

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

hedging as fascism apologia

Also: this is Matthew’s actual job. If they say there’s a fighting chance to torpedo this nomination, that’s much more reliable than whatever the vibes out here might be. This is worth your time.

I want to remind everyone that your local library is both physical AND digital. You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library. You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library. You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library. You want sourced info? Library.

I think we’re done here

The State Department suspended all applications for passport gender changes in response to President Trump's executive order restricting transgender rights. We know this has caused confusion. We're monitoring the situation closely — here are 2 important things to know.

Costco for the win!

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

Just a reminder: as a lawyer you don’t have to do immoral things for the client. You can quit.

This is NOT NORMAL, folks. These billionaires are planning to use the Trump Administration to milk every penny they can out of the rest of us. We need to have a united front on this, regardless of party. This is workers vs. oligarchs now. #StopTheOligarchy

The Mayor of Newark says ICE detained citizens and a military veteran in a warrantless raid there today. www.newarknj.gov/news/mayor-r...

Trump going after legal immigration. These folks are in the country legally with temporary protected status, having fled from horrible circumstances and been granted the legal right to be here.

Right out of the gate they are detaining U.S. citizens and saying their “papers”are fake. It was always a lie.

Guardian vs. NYT. You know who's going to call things by their true names and who's not even gonna give you syrup with that waffle. Guardian: "Elon Musk waded into controversy on Monday when he gave back-to-back fascist-style salutes....

Doesn't matter what her role in Congress is, AOC is inarguably the leader of the opposition.
