In addition to being brave and the right thing to do, Sassoon’s letter points out that the Emperor has no clothes — it demolishes the utterly fatuous, transparently corrupt excuses for dismissing the Adams case.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

This info has been circulating but is worth repeating. You can replace your Copilot-infested MS Office plan with the "Classic" version, which is unblighted by AI and also cheaper. It doesn't take effect until your subscription renews, but it's something. support.microsoft.com/en-us/office...

This is government repression of those attempting to name and shame those engaged in a coup. This is the point where people need to start acting as a population in mass. The regime is building pretext to arresting journalists and opposition to the ongoing coup. This is it. It’s happening.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

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 📉

If you’re a federal employee, you should know this is a lie. Congress hasn’t appropriated these monies and so it’s literally not there to be spent. Also, federal agencies are limited by law to a max $25K payout in the case of restructuring.

You won't be any better at fighting what's coming if you burn yourself out and spend all your time feeling bleak and hopeless, and the people telling you that it's all despair now probably don't have anyone's best interest at heart.

All of these people became fascists because the people they wanted to impress didn’t think they were cool. They’re media wannabes who couldn’t succeed so they turned to the dumbest motherfuckers for an audience. They can’t recognize what they did because they would have to recognize their failures.

No matter their race, creed, ethnicity, or immigration status, your neighbors are not - and never have been - your enemy. The villains in the American story have always been the wealthy and powerful interests seeking to turn you against your neighbor in order to maintain their place at the top.

Extremely overdetermined that I am not a senator or rep, but if I were and this were the policies and nominees the executive branch were trying to ram through Congress, I would object to every unanimous consent request, no matter how minor, and force it to a standstill with endless rollcall votes.

Every Democrat should be on every media outlet the moment a shutdown starts hammering Trump, Musk, and the GOP. Say they had a deal until Musk opposed it, the GOP cowered, and Trump allowed it. Call them weak, spineless puppets. Pin every second of it on their cowardice and greed. And don't stop.
