Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Let’s do this!

There is a wave of anger building across the entire country. People are already becoming fed up with Trump and Musk. These algorithms can try to hide it all they want, but they won’t be able to avoid reality for long.

Jasmine Crockett speaking truth!

🚨 BREAKING: Ohio broke the law, illegally depriving 300,000 Ohioans of thousands of dollars (each) in federal unemployment benefits. $900M total. The dollars are still available. In a federal account. But Musk will no doubt be eyeing the funds for billionaire tax cuts. 1/

My grandmother’s family was murdered in the chambers of Auschwitz. She survived and told me never let it get that far. Make them shoot you in public before they murder you in hiding. Stand up for others. Never cave in fear of the Nazis or the holocaust will happen again.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

Works as advertised

Did You Know? The inventor of the bestselling Super Soaker was a Black man—and Hasbro tried to cheat him out of his royalties. In 2013, Lonnie Johnson, a nuclear engineer and former NASA scientist, won a $73 million settlement from Hasbro for underpaid royalties. Johnson holds over 80 patents.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

Money and markets, y'all. It's your superpower.

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Welcome back, Cathy.

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

Christ on a cracker.

This explains it perfectly.

Who did this?’ 😂😭

This is probably the most accurate take.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

This week has been a long decade, y’all. Here’s a picture of our gorgeous almost 13 year old Maine Coon mix, Jojo.

We won’t disappear just because you change a website.

BREAKING: Ranking Member Raskin demands Attorney General Bondi halt illegal intimidation campaign targeting the DOJ’s Public Integrity Office.

Yes, please! And go after Apple too. Apple Maps changed the name too. It’s the Gulf of Mexico. Always will be.

Good work!

The attorney general is the people of West Virginia’s lawyer, and your lawyer is lying to you.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

This is a helpful guide. What we white folks can do if ICE comes into a space we’re occupying. We have a responsibility to stand up to them and stand up FOR our fellow humans. open.substack.com/pub/susancam...
