🚨 BREAKING: 11 young people were arrested after Schumer locked the doors on us—we showed him how to fight, but he couldn’t even face us.

His cowardly deal gives Musk the keys to our government while working people suffer. If he won’t fight for us, he’s unfit to lead.

Step up or step aside.
Schumer: don't be a coward.

TWO GIRLS IN THE ENTIRE STATE OF MAINE! FEWER THAN 10 IN ALL OF THE NCAA! i know true believers can't be swayed, but i think hammering these numbers is important for the average person to understand that republicans are OBSESSSSSSED with such a minuscule group of people and it's fucking weird!

Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail
The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years.

“Trying to appeal to a voter who will congratulate you for scolding a member of your own party for peacefully protesting fascism is a losing game because that voter does not exist.”
The time for a spine
Democrats who censured Rep. Al Green are as clueless as they are feckless.

White women, please be on the lookout for this ish, know that we're obligated to be the frontline of shutting it down.

Much history of the abuse of Global Majority women comes from defining WW as fragile/delicate/must be protected/ "feminine" & the *baseline* of womanhood & it's harmful bullshit.

Non-white women are going to be accused of being masculine or gaining an edge, when they defeat white women who fit the western ideals of femininity.

All that white women will need to do is accuse their non-white opponent of not being a woman. And men will come to destroy her to feel “protective”.

Yeah this wasn't on my radar until last summer's Paris Olympics and the meltdown on social media over the Algerian boxer. It made the connection for me how the trans women in sports freak out circles around to controlling all women. Absolutely morbid. And eye opening.

Asking federal employees to stop what they’re doing, to try to figure out a list of 5 things they do, and send it to an email account not knowing the security clearance of who will read it; to appease someone who could easily request the necessary clearance to visit said employees to observe them.

The National Cancer Institute (part of NIH) released new guidelines for "controversial, high-profile or sensitive" keywords that require "review prior to publication" if included in a product or materials.

Keywords include abortion, obesity, and peanut allergies.
Materials produced or authored by NCI staff that address topics that may be controversial, high profile, or sensitive must be sent to the NCI Clearance Team for review prior to publication. Depending on the nature of the information, additional review and clearance by the NCI director, deputy directors, NIH, and HHS may be required. In some cases, the material will not need further review, but the NCI Clearance Team will share it with NCI leadership, NIH, and/or HHS for their awareness. Examples of controversial or high-profile topics include, but are not limited to: Cancer Moonshot NCI budget COVID-19 Vaccines H5N1/bird flu Opioids , Marijuana Dietary guidelines/ultra-processed foods Obesity Stem cell or fetal tissue research Abortion Autism Peanut allergies Fluoride Measles Diversity/equity efforts Gender ideology Environmental justice Discussion of federal policies Topics of federal investigations Issues concerning pending legislation Topics that have received recent attention from Congress Topics that have received widespread or critical media attention

Hundreds of former US Attorneys have signed an open letter showing solidarity with current DOJ staff.

"You have responded to ethical challenges of a type no public
servant should ever be forced to confront with principle and conviction."

www.thejusticeconnection.org/wp-content/u...
An open letter to career federal prosecutors: Like you, each of us devoted years of our professional lives to pursuing justice on behalf of the American people. Although we dutifully carried out the lawful enforcement priorities of the Executive Branch irrespective of who headed it, the oath we swore was to the Constitution—not to the President, Attorney General, or any other individual. Our obligations didn’t stop at the oath we took to support and defend the Constitution. They included upholding a set of values that have guided the United States Department of Justice for decades. These values are ingrained in the Department’s DNA as exemplified by the Principles of Federal Prosecution, which were written to ensure federal prosecutors exercise their tremendous power fairly, without regard to partisan politics, and in furtherance of the rule of law. As prosecutors, we were rightly prohibited from making criminal charging decisions based on someone’s political association, activities or beliefs, or because of our personal feelings about them. We knew it was impermissible to treat a defendant more leniently just because they were powerful or well-connected, or more harshly because they were not. We were taught to pursue justice without fear or favor, and knew our decisions to investigate and charge should be based only on the facts and the law. We knew these values were more than just requirements in a manual—they were foundational to a fair and just legal system. And we upheld them no matter who was President.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) sent out this message to employees today from the "HUD DOGE team" looking for suggestions on programs to cut:
HUD holds itself to the highest standard in the work the department accomplishes on behalf of the rural, tribal, and urban communities it serves. To continue to deliver the best work in the most efficient and effective manner, the HUD DOGE team welcomes your help and ideas in uncovering fraud, waste, and abuse at HUD. We appreciate the many people who have already sent in ideas on how we can streamline HUD operations and stop wasteful spending. Please send DOGEHUD@hud.gov any examples you have. We are open to any and all suggestions, ranging from commonly known non-effective programs, examples of wasteful grants, and overlap between departments. If something has been bothering you about how American taxpayer money has been spent by HUD, we want to hear it.
