To all Senators and Congressmen,
Trump should really be removed BEFORE he invades an ally nation. NOT AFTER.
Impeach, 25th amendment, whichever... just make it so!

Men who defend Jonathan Ross for murdering Renee Good are not safe to be around. End those relationships.

No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.

In Holton, KS $29.9 MILLION no-bid contract with an LLC that was just formed in APRIL! 🧐 Waste, fraud, and abuse much?
A lil sus too that it’s conveniently just slightly below $30m, which is when sole-source contracts require additional justification under federal contracting rules.😠

Take your vacations and personal days!
Don't save them up until something better comes along.
USE THEM.
Rest. Sleep in. Go for a mini road trip.
Spend the day at the local museum.
Take your vacation.
You don't need to go somewhere tropical or whatever.
Just take your breaks.
And use them to relax

Real 2020 era post here. Sometimes the old brain just snaps back on.
Anyway that's why I try to post cute shit and get outside.
One of my first coworkers in labor taught me you can't change the world from a pine box.
I mostly ignored that advice for 15+ years.

Our optimism and joy is our enemies greatest fear.
Our solidarity is our greatest weapon.
They think by creating despair and chaos they can beat us down and turn us off.
That's why we must stay on.
We will win.
And they'll have nothing but tears.

ICE keeps saying the people protesting it are being paid without any evidence, but we have receipts showing that the people *defending* ICE are absolutely being paid.
And yet we only hear lies about the former on cable news.
