Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

Boycott Walmart
starts on Monday, April 7th. -14th.

This is a response to companies backing off or eliminating diversity, equity and inclusion — otherwise known as DEI — initiatives.
Another reason given for the blackout is to protest President Trump's actions to eliminate federal DEI programs.

Remember the Amazon Boycott is coming up March 7-14. It’s time to tell the 1% they do not have our support. Show them what an organized boycott can do. They should not have this much power in private industry & in government.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent.

“It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.

“A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.”

Elon Musk’s actions remind me of a performance appraisal that employees get yearly and have to explain some accomplishments so their supervisor can rate their performance. Meant not to fire them, but to determine raises and ranking; usually with positive outcomes.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.

Freezing out the NIH's funding means freezing out American innovation.

Research into curing cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's all delayed.

And ultimately it won't just cost us advancements in life-saving research, it will cost us lives.
NIH funding cuts could have ‘devastating impact’ on medical advancements, Chicago researchers say
The National Institutes of Health under President Donald Trump announced this month that it was cutting payments covering overhead costs for research institutions that receive its grants.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

Of course the Democrats will be going to Houston to find and interview voters who were laid off , to ask them what their expectations of the new administration were and how they feel they are doing at the moment. And posting here and everywhere. Right ?
On Fox Business this morning, Chevron Chair and CEO Mike Wirth discusses all of the records that the company has broken last year.

"Record" production, record distributions to shareholders, etc...

Yet they're laying off 15%-20% of their workforce.
