So glad the leader is feeling empathy. He "might" call Governor Walz (sarcasm):

"Well, it's a terrible thing. I think he's a terrible governor. I think he's a grossly incompetent person. But I may, I may call him, I may call other people too,"

We deserve better than this.

@rbhubbell.bsky.social @rbreich.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social @joycevance.bsky.social Serious question: who is responsible to look into election interference? Who should have followed up on this? Is this a state issue or federal issue?

Exactly! If you can't or WON'T stand up for us like Cory, why should we keep hiring you for the job TO STAND UP FOR US?
What Cory Booker is doing right now is what *every* filibuster should look like, by the way.

No little documents and notices to the majority leader. If you believe a bill must be blocked, you gotta stand up and bring the place to a halt till you physically can’t do it anymore.

I watched this yesterday. Serious question, why would Elon Musk want to mess with federal government when he could be doing this type of work?

"Arlington National Cemetery has scrubbed from its website information and educational materials about the history of black and female service members." (Source: BBC news).

Why? There is only one explanation and it is terrifying.

They did it anyway. They looked away. I am so angry I can hardly speak.

This is a coup.

What can you do?

According to Robert Hubbell: “the citizens of other nations that have grappled with similar challenges have used sustained and massive street protests, national work strikes, work slowdowns, taxpayer strikes, business boycotts, and transportation boycotts”.

I urge everyone reading this to keep your spirits high and to make up your Goddamn mind to be a steel-spined, unrelenting, ultra-resilient, super-charged, motherfucker on wheels.

Toss every thought of, "I can't," out on its ass with such a fierceness that those thoughts wither and die on the vine.

This is becoming absurd—federal employees are now being told to remove pronouns from their email signatures. We will always stand by our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, no matter how many things we’re asked to delete or change. Inclusivity is at the core of who we are.
