Attention all college/university administrators and general counsel: here, legal analysis grounding current diversity programs firmly in federal law, demonstrating the illegality of executive orders to the contrary. app.box.com/s/2me4mszr6p...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

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)

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...

Sunflower Sunday

Breaking: Susan Collins has announced that the iceburg has gone too far. She didn't think that more than 1 or 2 bulkheads would be breached. She's very disappointed and returning to her state room on the Titanic to practice a frowny face.

Mr. Rogers: "Look for the helpers" José Andrés: "Cook for the helpers"

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

TIM KAINE on the Senate floor warning federal employees not to take the buyout offer. "The President has no authority to make that offer. There's no budget line item to pay people who are not showing up for work...If you accept that offer and resign, he'll stiff you..."

The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 19:34 While the Bible doesn’t directly address abortion, it does address immigration.

One thing I used to do on Twitter sometimes was post a list of less-quoted MLK writings that have shaped me and are freely available online. Here’s that list (in chronological order) if you would like some reading for tomorrow.

These heroes are incredible. 👏

"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."

I was wondering … Is Air Force One now going to be known as Con Air?

Insurance companies denying claims and refusing to offer coverage when it isn’t profitable for them, whether it’s health insurance for a cancer patient or wildfire insurance for people in California, really demonstrates how truly evil they are.

The rhetorical move here provides a template for responding to Trumpian nonsense in the years to come: "Trump's a corrupt fascist, & the way fascism works is by feeding you bullshit to distract you from its crimes, failures, & corruption. This [latest Trump 'controversy'] is that sort of bullshit"

Flying a drone in an active wildfire is against federal law. Please don’t do this. It has been negatively affecting firefighters fighting these fires. Please let folks know.

The idiot incoming president talking about the gulf of America and making Canada part of America is designed to distract you from what they are really doing. Stop taking the bait. Do not give it air.

Time to share this quick air filter solution for wildfire smoke once again. All you need is a box fan and a home air/furnace filter that you can get at pretty much any hardware store. Optional is some duct tape to get a good seal. Stay safe! #LAFires

Please stop saying "rolled back diversity goals" and start saying "the company capitulated to a segregationist movement." www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

That "Thomas Jefferson's Prayer for the Nation" Johnson just read is fake. Jefferson never wrote or said that. It's from the 1928 United States Book of Common Prayer, which is the Episcopal Church.

We should all have the backs of Amazon and Starbucks workers who are on strike this holiday season. They deserve better pay, hours, working conditions, and union recognition. Their greedy bosses should stop being Grinches, and grow hearts.

WE VOTED YES: (Thread) We are thrilled to share that our members have voted to ratify our new three-year collective bargaining agreement with @nytimes.com…

It’s cute how men think “you will die alone with your cats” is an insult rather than an affirmation.

Again, if you have a Dem Rep and want AOC on Oversight, call. It may not work but it'll at least register you're pissed.

As you process the devastating news that another tragic shooting took the lives of at least 3 innocent people in Wisconsin, remember the shooter didn't act alone. He was assisted by 222 House members, 49 Senators, and the NRA.

HELL yeah a Charter challenge. Bring it, #BikeTO
