Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Incredibly moving Justin Trudeau remarks:
"We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people....Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us."

Even aid workers have been perplexed at how the Trump administration arrived at their exaggerated number — a sum that could buy 1.5 billion condoms for Gaza’s population of about 2.1 million.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.
Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

The first 10 days of Trump's administration have been marked by an unprecedented barrage of barbaric policy moves and casual executive depravity.
In many cases, these actions have flown in the face of the law, decades of tradition, and even the Constitution.

OPM is traditionally apolitical. These appointments, experts believe, seem part of a broader attempt to change that.
Among the new hires are xAI’s former head of talent, a former Tesla engineer, a lawyer who represented the NRA, and a person who graduated high school in 2024.

I tell every kid that asks, that you paid money to learn. Now it’s time to get paid to learn. You don’t need a perfect job. You need to be the best as you can at your job. People like jobs they are good at
But.
You are always a free agent. You can always be looking and learn more in a new job

There’s also a perception that once you are in a job, that you’re locked into that job for the rest of you life. Which isn’t exactly the truth, it may be a little tough to adjust, but it’s always possible. A lot of teachers I meet didn’t want to be teachers until after they got through a job or two.
