To have the Supreme Court lowering the bar for 'reverse discrimination' suits is nothing more than privilege and a straight-up slap in the face! www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Whole Foods, which is owned by notorious union-buster Amazon, is arguing that Trump's dismantling of the NLRB means the company doesn't have to recognize a newly unionized store in Philadelphia. Looks like Jeff Bezos's investment in Trump is paying off.

Fascism is when Donald Trump bans 1600+ vetted Afghan Muslim refugees who helped USA against the Taliban—but now issues an Executive Order accepting white Afrikaner South Africans as refugees to the USA. It was never about justice or national security. It was always about advancing white supremacy.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

The biggest lesson the US is going to have to learn is that nobody is coming to help, this is a lesson every country in the world has learned. This is your fight. Every country you know will continue to make deals with Trump, unless you put up mass resistance and show the world you do not consent.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Wiping clean DOJ website of 1500 white supremacist felons & wiping clean mention of the heroic Black Tuskegee Airmen. When you're protecting white supremacists who fought to destroy democracy & censoring Black soldiers who fought to protect it, then you aren't a patriot—you're a fascist.

Inspectors General are key public servants tasked with holding our government accountable. They’re independent, nonpartisan whose work is identifying fraud, waste, & importantly, abuse. Trump just fired them all. Make no mistake: he's purging those who will protect the rule of law.
