Last week: Correspondent @stevanzetti.bsky.social identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media, and courtroom observation.

Let's be clear: CQ Brown was fired because Trump and Hegseth couldn't see past his skin color. General Brown has 40 years of distinguished service. Trump and Hegseth just want yes men who look like them. This is destabilizing for our nation.

This is how it’s done.

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

This is what a true patriot looks like! Thank you, Gov. Janet Mills!!!

Three updates: 1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

Nearly one in 10 adults in the U.S. identifies as LGBTQ, according to a large analysis from Gallup released Thursday — almost triple the share since Gallup began counting in 2012, and up by two-thirds since 2020. nyti.ms/42ZZGIN

There’s a great doc on this Shero - Zurawski v. Texas www.jolt.film/watch/zuraws...

84% HUD staff cuts will cause irreversible harm to towns still recovering & trying to rebuild from recent disasters. Trump is giving tax breaks to his rich friends over ensuring HUD can deliver resources to you.   Hear 👏🏾 Me 👏🏾 Clearly 👏🏾    He doesn't care about you!

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Keep pissing them off! We are with you!!!!

“I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. “I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.”

Opinion: An audit uncovered inefficient, wasteful spending in Houston's city government. John Whitmire has to put his house in order before asking for more taxes, writes the Chronicle's Editorial Board.

Donald Trump is threatening the President of a sovereign country—AGAIN—to force Ukraine to hand over their democracy and sovereign territory to Vladimir Putin. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/z...

Last night, Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. This morning, Trump endorsed the House Republican plan to slash Medicaid. It's smoke and mirrors: Trump and Republicans are plotting to take away health care from millions of people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

Meet 11-year-old Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, a young girl from Texas whose life was tragically cut short. She died by suicide after classmates threatened to call ICE on her family. Stop dehumanizing immigrants. That is not America.

Billionaires are trying to close our public schools with something called private school vouchers. They say it’ll help poor kids go to private schools. They call it “school choice.” It all sounds so noble. But vouchers are the biggest scam I’ve ever seen.

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.

Anna Julia Cooper was an author, educator, sociologist, speaker, Black liberation activist, Black feminist leader, and one of the most prominent scholars in United States history. She was born enslaved, and yet became the fourth Black woman to ever earn a PhD. #BlackHistoryMonth

Elon Musk fired a disabled Veteran with 3 tours of duty from his job serving other Veterans at the VA. Elon’s companies get billions from defense contracts. He’s happy to profit off our servicemembers - but when he can no longer make money off them, he kicks them to the curb.

10% of NASA’s workforce has been laid off—guess that’ll be a boost for SpaceX.

HEARTBREAKING: Anne Marie Hochhalter was shot in the back and paralyzed in the mass shooting at Columbine High School in 1999. On Sunday, she was found deceased at her Colorado home, reportedly due to complications from injuries she sustained in the shooting. She was 43.

Thank you, @dianabutlerbass.bsky.social Stand up! Speak out!

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

On my walk this morning, I was struck by the beauty of this tree. Winter (even in Houston) invites us to shed what has been and draw inward to prepare for what will be. 🧵 1/3

Great article by @404media.co Be informed and then do something! Doom scrolling is not the activism we need right now!!! www.404media.co/you-cant-pos...

We all lose hope that suffering in our lives & the world will ever end. I want to share w/you my faith & understanding that suffering can be transformed & redeemed. There's no such thing as a totally hopeless case. God is an expert dealing w/chaos...w/the worst that we can imagine. -Desmond Tutu

Stay strong, @aoc.bsky.social! This is the energy we must show as the public everywhere!!!

813 US billionaires held a record $6.72 trillion in wealth at the end of 2024. The bottom 50% of Americans held roughly $3.9 trillion in wealth. When 813 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

I wrote in January that "Donald Trump will insist on using the powers of the state to attack his political opponents." It has already begun. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/ther...

We agree.
