Nearly 800,000 children depend on Head Start—and Trump just slashed the workforce supporting them. No plan. No input. Just damage.

I’m leading the call to immediately reinstate these critical employees and protect the programs that families and children rely on.

Can we demand new elections ?
Can we expect the military to step in and remove him ?
Can we stage a public revolt ?
Can we impeach him ?

What does it take to remove a treasonous administration ?

When is enough enough ?

Putin invaded Ukraine in 2022

Since then, Zelenskyy has bravely defended his country’s freedom

As Russia bombed schools and homes, tortured civilians and kidnapped thousands of Ukrainian children

Lectures from chicken hawk Trump and his feckless simp JD Vance are the least of Zelenskyy’s worries

We just watched Trump & Vance do Putin’s bidding in the Oval Office & it was horrific. Not even two months into this administration & it’s a disaster for the free world.

We're sorry to the leaders of the world, who instead of being met by level-headed, measured, intelligent dialogue, are now greeted with the incoherent rantings of a perpetually-furious man-child.

A source just told me over the phone that layoffs are happening right now at NOAA. Axios is also reporting this. www.axios.com/2025/02/27/l...
Layoffs hit federal climate, weather agency NOAA
The cuts could affect NOAA's weather forecasts, climate research and other functions.

I'm writing you to let you know there will be no change in The Handbasket's opinions.

I am going to write every day in support and defense of two pillars: protecting marginalized people and telling billionaires to go fuck themselves.

I'm confident this is right for America.

While the #ialegis trying to pass anti-trans bills are entirely homogenous, the cross section of folks in the rotunda pushing back this week represents the future of #Iowa.

Bills like these are a choice to turn our backs on the future.

If you live in a Blue State, the most important thing you can do individually for America is get on your city council and focus entirely on building more housing. Many people in Red States will find their lives untenable very soon and need somewhere to flee to.
It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Happening now at the Iowa capitol... Protesting a bill that would strip trans people of their civil rights. Wish I could be there with you! 🏳️‍⚧️✊
I just made a sweep of the hallway, about a dozen frontline protesters are locking arms and refusing to leave. One just borrowed my pen to write a phone number on them and their friend. I don't think they plan on leaving.

Hello I would like millions of dollars of private funding to start a climate/energy justice social science think tank that also serves as a refuge for displaced federal workers to double as a brain drain prevention outfit so we can help rebuild a better country when this all comes crashing down, thx

If you care about science & higher ed in America right now, your world has changed.

We have been forced into a battle we didn’t choose.

Whatever our titles, our jobs now also includes emergency response, psychological first aid, organizing & many other things we weren’t trained in

We need to see science as a social compact where it serves the larger world, not our own interests.

As a first step, scientists must communicate to the larger world much better.

I wrote an essay about this in 2016, which still holds today.

OPM employees are literally blocking the doors and begging for help from politicians and mainstream media. They are STILL there.
Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.

We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.

Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

The corporate coup is global.

Trump's mad tariffs do not mark the end of neoliberalism or free trade or whatever you want to call it.

They mark the end game of what we have been fighting for decades: corporate rule.

They do not believe in the public. They believe in their wealth.

All of your most sensitive data and our country’s checkbook are in the hands of an unelected billionaire.

This is the most corrupt administration in history and it’s putting our economy & government in serious jeopardy.
