Trump just ordered the DOJ to eliminate the police misconduct database. Imagine losing your child to police brutality &finding out the officer had a violent history that wasn't tracked. That’s what happened to Eric Garners family. The officer who killed him had many complaints before that fatal day.

Back in 2021, @jbf1755.bsky.social & @hcrichardson.bsky.social did an episode about the postal service on their much-missed podcast “Now & Then.” I suggest you have a listen to understand the USPS and the implications of privatization. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n...

FUCK.

In a blistering statement, the American Bar Association describes "attacks on constitutionally protected birthright citizenship, the dismantling of USAID and the attempts to criminalize" diversity initiatives as "wide-scale affronts to the rule of law itself." https://buff.ly/4bb7dqp

Hey MAGA, anyone want to explain to me why getting rid of the agency that has prevented another 2008-style financial crisis is a good thing?

Trump's flurry of anti-trans executive orders is justified as "protecting women." In reality, they are an attack on all women and girls, cis and trans. They make sexual abuse easier. And they're targeting research into women's health care for defunding. www.salon.com/2025/02/10/w...

Hold the fuck on a minute — Assistant President Poopy Pants spent $15 million taxpayer dollars to attend a single football game, but Phony Stark’s Division of DOGEbags can’t find the money to fund childhood cancer research? Are you fucking kidding me?!?

New — CFPB employees received an ominous email from Russell Vought a few minutes ago. “Employees should stand down from performing any work task.” Full text:

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Did...any mainstream media outlet in the country report on this?

Since the FBI appears to be the only agency that is both still functioning and not headed by a lunatic, the Washington Field Office needs to open an investigation into the breach of the computer systems at Treasury, stat

I'm late to the party but happy #WorldWetlandsDay! Wetlands are so important for so many reasons, which is why scientists need to understand which wetland is which. Here's a quick guide I made a few years ago. #SciArt

LADIES Listen up... Miss Shirley Chisholm has a message for you.

There has been too much going on. I just want you to remember the people in LA who lost everything in the devastating hurricane fire that ripped through last week. Please give if you can.

We have DEI because we have racism. DEI didn’t stop White people from getting anything. It just helped others to have a chance to get something they were qualified to have.

I love each and every one of you who called him in!!

He has told bigger lies before, but this one might be the most absurd 🤥 newrepublic.com/post/190867/...

Federal employees, do not submit in advance.

DEI is good for people and business. It's not just the people you don't 'like'. It's you, it's me, it's everyone.

Rfk Jr doesn't understand Medicaid. He does not deserve to be HHS Secretary.

Racism, of course. F- this timeline!! We need to get our nation on the right track.

The convict-in-Chief has the nearly $900,000 it costs per plane to deport people, but kids with cancer can apparently F off. Are we “great again” yet?

There is simply no plausible argument that the president has the constitutional authority to refuse to spend appropriated funds because he doesn’t like how the money is being spent. The legality of policy impoundments is just not a close question.

Fraternization and anti-harassment policies rescinded. Not sure why you’d do that except to enable assault, rape, and ultimately making the service unsafe and unwelcoming to women. Who, at the moment, are shouldering the entire military.

TFG 'promised' to bring down the cost of groceries. One thing he could have done, he does the opposite.

All of these GROTESQUE “shock & awe” Executive Orders by the felon, & NOT ONE of them helps the middle class, workers, seniors, or lowers the high cost of living for Americans! The felon/GOP & the robber barons only care about themselves, shifting the costs to the middle class, workers, & seniors!

The memo rescinds a Biden administration guideline that created "protected areas" consisting of places where "children gather, disaster or emergency relief sites, and social services establishments."

"If they only listened!" They did listen, it didn't matter. We are all in the shit now.
