This is OUR country. This is a democracy. We will fight and we will win. Stay strong.
Listen to Secretary Pete. And remember, these are our funds. These are our courts. And these are our streets.

Thank you to everyone who stands with USAID. Share far and wide. Unfortunately we don’t have $40 million to buy up ads during the Super Bowl. Even if we did, we’d use it to support the U.S. economy while feeding kids around the globe.

Top 11 ways you can #Resist today:
11. Get educated on what is actually happening. Follow the news, but also insider accounts (#ALTgov) and others.
10. Be intentional about where you spend your money. Don’t support businesses that support this Administration or have caved to anti-DEIA rhetoric.

Scary times, folks.
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) offered payouts to its entire workforce. The CIA has become the first intelligence agency to offer employees an opportunity to leave their positions in exchange for approximately eight months of pay and benefits.

Every minute it gets worse and worse. Scared, angry, hopeless… Day after day of shit like this. We told you this would happen. And if you want this, fucking stay away from me.
Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”

The site calls out workers who have been involved with DEI initiatives. A majority are Black.

Please remember Canada that there are large hunks of the USA that would rather be part of your country right now than part of our own. People in those parts are not going to turn their backs on you, and I hope you won't turn your backs on us either. Together, we are stronger than them!
