The 💩 show continues! Rep. have introduced a NATIONAL abortion ban into the House. Was Trump was honest about not supporting a national abortion ban or if this was just one of his COUNTLESS LIES! He will have the power to veto, I have zero faith he will.

White House tells federal workers they can quit now, get paid through September
The email is the most sweeping effort yet by the new Trump administration to shrink the ranks of government employees.

The good news? I no longer think we're going to last 4 years.

He is clearly aiming to harm just about everyone. Every institution, govt research, schools, farms, hospitals.

He's his own COVID-19. A threat to everyone.

Either he will snap. Or we will snap. But this isn't sustainable for 4 years.

Let's be clear about what happened today: Donald Trump tried to cut a giant chunk of government funding — hurting preschoolers, seniors, and veterans.

Trump's illegal shutdown is blocked for now — but don't forget that he tried to cut programs supporting working families.

I think it’s really important we identify the companies that are doing the right thing and reward them with our business.
NOW: More than 98% of #Costco shareholders have just rejected an anti-DEI measure

The attempt to force Costco to audit their #DEI work was by an anti-inclusion lobby group:

"The proponent's broader agenda is not reducing risk for the Company but abolition of diversity initiatives." - Costco Board

Pamela Hemphill has refused a pardon from Trump for her role in January 6. "Accepting a pardon would only insult the Capitol police officers, rule of law and, of course, our nation.”

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

The most infuriating part of all of this, is us literally screaming about the rights of others being violated, meanwhile we are being told it’s just an overreaction and it doesn’t mean….. I’m over it!

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections."
Each defendant assaulted him.

Rebecca Solnit: “They want you to feel powerless and surrender and let them trample everything and you are not going to let them. You are not giving up, and neither am I. The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving.”

Honestly, I find myself very angry right now. I don’t get the simplest of things. Hate towards Pres. Biden for pardoning family members d/t threats, while Trump pardons those that have committed murder and insurrection. How has so many lacked common sense and decency in our society?

I don’t understand people who think this is acceptable. The executive orders signed, the cases being challenged at SCOTUS, the speeches full rhetoric, the rights of transgender individuals being placed on the line, the undoing of affordable drugs for seniors. All of it. How is any of this ok?
