The Republicans in power really don’t care if the American people live or die. Further proof: www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

I am in Cairo, where I have been visiting with health organizations, including WHO and other partners of USAID. Trump and Musk say lifesaving assistance is not affected by the shutdown of USAID and support to WHO. I can tell you that is 100% false. #SaveAID www.instagram.com/share/_ogGRd...

Yes, the rule of law has been a tool of oppression and some laws deserve civil disobedience. But abandoning the rule of law altogether? NO WAY, TRUMPERS. This just in from the American Bar Association: www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Seems worth saying yet again… Pronouns can’t hurt you. But guns sure can. Regulating pronouns hurts people. Regulating guns saves people. Do the damn math.

Rep. Maxwell Frost points out the danger of having folks with no oversight or background check accessing government computer servers. This breach of data privacy is wrong and unnecessary cost cutting. It must stop.

Pushing live production code cooked up by some young coders over a week of sleepness nights in place of a legacy system that is fundamental to the operation of the US government is against every programming best practice.

Its not the right of America to tell people in other countries to relocate. Gazans deserve to live in peace. If they choose to remain in Gaza, as i suspect will be the case, they will need help rebuilding. Trump at the core is still an empty, greedy, real estate person

Trump: immigrants can’t live here! Also Trump: other countries MUST take immigrants I am forcing from their homes! And my memo to Trump: Gaza is not a thing. Calling someone’s home a thing shows us — yet again — just how evil you are. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

SO WRONG ON SO MANY LEVELS.

Whether he made that up on the spot or not, he's wanted nothing more than to develop the beachside property in Gaza and profit off it. That's been clear for a while. Either way it's so morally reprehensible I have trouble finding the words....

Don't let up on them, still a lot of disappointments to come, but today's Dem rally at the Treasury Department feels like a turning point in them waking up and them accepting this is a complete constitutional omni-crisis and not some normal game of trying to win the mid-terms two years from now.

They are trying to overwhelm us with all these EOs. Do what you need to do to stay out of freeze mode the best that you can. Connect with people. Connect with yourself. We're gonna fight.

This tweet sent out 14 hours BEFORE the crash needs to be immortalized in stone. Or on a plaque in every ATC tower. Or on a disclaimer before every Mayday: Air Disaster episode. Or on an Amber Alert type system to every American. Or on a stamp. Or maybe currency. Something.

They want us to get into a fight/flight/freeze/fawn trauma response so they can control us. Ground yourself, care for your body and your heart in community, and join in sustained resistance.

Content warning on this for transphobia. Here is the new head of OMB's plans to traumatize federal workers and steamroll through any Trump opposition. His explicit aim is to traumatize federal employees into compliance. www.propublica.org/article/vide...

It's not "politicizing a tragedy" to point out the top levels of the federal government aren't functional—the three key leaders here are drunk rapist TV show host at DoD, reality TV star at DoT, and nobody at FAA—and they're doing squat except spreading the same dysfunction down the ladder.

I'm not sure if people realize how quickly the Trumpzis can do enormous damage to US science, from basic research to translation. Really fast. REALLY fast. Labs with decades of irreplaceable domain and technique knowledge can break apart with a surprisingly short funding gap. When they're gone...1/

I live in a city on the US-Mexico border. This “Biden had open borders” story is bullshit, and the “emergency” is manufactured. We don’t need a further-militarized border. What we do need is a more accessible path to legal immigration and citizenship & we need to respect the right to asylum.

I bought these two books during Trump’s first term, just in case anyone tried to rewrite history. They are the US Select Committee’s January 6th investigative report and Amy Siskind’s “The List: a Week-by-Week Reckoning of Trump’s First Year.” #NeverForget #Inauguration #FightLikeHellForTheLiving
