After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

very true. (many people are saying, doing great work, for f'real)
It's nearly impossible to keep up with the dozens of legal challenges to Trump's early actions. But many have been led by the same group.

Trump’s “detention camps” are concentration camps and his “mass deportations” are ethnic cleansing. Stop using the language of the perpetrator and say it how it really is. Speak truth with your chest. #3E #EndAutogenocide #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy

Fun fact, at the USPS we're federally regulated, but not federally funded. We get no tax money, all of our operation costs and payroll for employees is from postage. So I get to work 6 days a week 12 hours a day because of Christmas, and get paid less than your average FedEx carrier

Time to pull my cash from my probably-no-longer-FDIC-insured accounts?
The FDIC fired its probationary employees tonight. It's unclear just how many people are affected, but according to the DOGE website there were 513 agency employees with less than a year of experience. news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

I’ll close with some wisdom from Lord of the Rings. “I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.
