ICE officers are now reportedly required to meet arrest quotas each day, from a few hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 nationwide. Jonathan Blitzer reports on the mystery of the agency’s unidentifiable arrests.

Trump and Elon just began firing hundreds of NOAA workers serving “mission-critical and life-saving roles.”

These climate experts and forecasters are crucial to tracking natural disasters like hurricanes.

Make no mistake, their terminations will cause preventable deaths.

Donald Trump is not fit to be President of the United States of America. His presence in the Oval Office is a stain on the legacy of this country.

Today's Oval Office spectacle wasn't about showing strength, it was about surrendering to Putin. Trump and JD Vance have completely sold out America.

The behaviors of Trump & Vance against President Zelenskyy were embarrassing, playing up to the dictator of Russia against a European ally.
This on the ground documentary shows what Ukraine has been up against since day one 3 years ago.

NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffs—Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.”

I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

I have not ordered from Amazon since December and have no plans to do so. I shop at my local grocery store instead of W. I call and write my representatives. I'm off FB, IG and Twitter. What else can we do to #resist?

Every single professional organization in the country should be speaking out about the news about NCMEC. The administration put a financial gun to the heads of people trying to save children from kidnapping and trafficking demanding they enact policies that will hurt lgbtq kids. That is beyond evil.

The last report for the state university system in Missouri showed $6.5 billion in economic impacts and 69,000 jobs. Trump and Musk are threatening that success. That is the message that needs to be shared in every state.
