At the Women's March in Crystal Lake, Illinois yesterday I saw a man carrying the American flag. Haven't seen the flag representing much more than MAGA lately, we need to take back our flag!

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t.

Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID!

Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

Old Navy account now requires me to confirm whether I am a US Citizen or not. "The USA Patriot Act requires us to know our cardmembers and obtaining this information helps us meet these requirements. Restrictions will be placed on your account if you do not verify your account information."-WTF!

Via Politico: The Council of Inspectors General say Trump’s attempted purge is NOT “legally sufficient to dismiss” IGs, because it clearly violates federal law. Suggests that at least some IGs will attempt to remain at their posts. Get ready for a court battle.

Important read. It has already begun, but it's easy to see how it progresses and then before you know it, it's too late.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.
