One week in detention and counting. Forget the dark alley assignations you see I'm the movies, real life, real people are being criminalized for defending fundamental rights. Where will it stop if we don't act?

When the president fired Gwynne Wilcox from the @nlrbgov.bsky.social, it essentially shut down the board’s work.

We commend the court’s decision to uphold the integrity and independence of the NLRB by ordering Wilcox to be reinstated. This is a major victory for all workers!

A U.S. official said the Trump administration had no plans to try to deport American citizens. The U.S. government cannot deport American citizens and such a move would be met with legal challenges.

When I think of Elon Musk hacking into hundreds of millions of tax files and Social Security records I am reminded of the case of Aaron Swartz. He face five years in prison because he hacked into M.I.T's computer system.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
