Retired (under duress) USDA Forest Service. Liberal. Anti-fascist. Looking forward to end of the regime and restoration of our rights. My happy place is a good book, some Dead playing in the background and my cats. Or some good trouble!
Pinned
I'm officially retired from USDA Forest Service today. I am now free to speak out against the insane regime stripping us of our rights. I am angry. I am ready.

Given the high suicide rates for veterans, cutting mental health and suicide prevention jobs at the Veterans Administration is UNCONSCIONABLE. The Trump administration is full of incompetent, hateful monsters.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

This event is evil, unconscionable, and it’s a referendum on the nation’s moral compass.
MAGA mobs circling Tim Walz’s home to attack his son (not autistic, nonverbal) is not an accident, it’s the logical outcome of Trump’s politics of dehumanization.
This is Trump’s America and it must stop.👇

A new study shows the danger of pesticides isn’t only in what they kill, but in what they change. When bees forage less and fish behave differently, ecosystems begin to fail long before we notice the losses.

New, from me: by embracing unitary executive theory, the Supreme Court is moving towards making all public employees fireable at the will of the President.
This will not just hurt government competence, it will aid democratic backsliding. 🧵

Removing independent agency heads is part of a broader assault on a nonpartisan government

So when the #AmericanGestapo says their arrests involve people committing crimes, they are technically correct. But the criminals are in ICE, not Home Depot parking lots or street taco stands.
Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?
A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

The stories of pregnant women in ICE detention — one shackled while miscarrying, another placed in solitary confinement with a high-risk pregnancy — are not one offs.
They're a clear pattern of neglect where ICE ignores its own rules. This cruelty must end.

Pregnant immigrants held for months in detention despite rules against it
With the immigration crackdown, more pregnant women are being detained. The ACLU alleges a woman was shackled while miscarrying and others were denied prenatal care.
