I'm simple, yet complex. A perverse complication of thought and action swirled into a mass of complete confusion and utter distraction. Go figure :)

There's going to war on faulty intelligence, then there's going to war in absence of intelligence, and then there's this:

Going to war in the face of contrary intelligence

Vice Chair of Senate Intelligence Committee asking one of the most important questions👇
The Intelligence Community said a week ago that Iran had not moved towards a nuclear weapon.

Have they changed their assessment? And if not, what the hell is the U.S. doing ignoring our own intelligence?

Jeffries: "The use of military force which is offensive in nature must be approved by the House and Senate. That's according to the Constitution. It's not optional, Donald. It's not ... Donald Trump and the administration chose to ignore the Constitution."

ICE is teaming up with HUD to separate families—evicting immigrant parents from homes their U.S. citizen kids still qualify for.
It’s anti-family. It’s Cruel and wrong.

Let’s just use housing policy to as a weapon…to scare, exclude, and remove people without having to pass new laws.
The campaign to terrorize the poor continues. The regime added a clause to grant agreements that will allow them to weaponize public housing funds. It continues to comb through resident data claiming to look for fraud. This is what they are really up to.

Also a valid point. The Library of Congress is in the legislative, not executive, branch.
Why is the President being allowed to fire the Librarian of CONGRESS, of the Library of CONGRESS. Where is CONGRESS in all of this?

At the start of this year, three of the institutions most important to American cultural preservation—the National Archives, the Library of Congress, and the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History—were run by women for the first time.

As of today, Trump has fired two of those three.

The message is clear,go against this administration & you will find yourself out of a job. We were not the biggest Cam fans but he did grow on us a little and he went down standing on integrity (one of FEMA's core values) by refusing to capitulate to this regimes agenda.

Our NOAA Climate Adaptation Partnership for the Northwest region was terminated this week. I'm so proud of the work we did to support the climate resilience efforts of frontline communities and Tribal Nations. And I'm deeply concerned for what the loss of this support means for NW communities.

(1/4) The CG is planning on removing/altering many AToN (Aids to Navigation) in the Northeast, citing "modernization". The public comment period for these proposed changes is open, and the best thing that people can do is make their voices heard.
The US Coast Guard has proposed the removal or alteration of HUNDREDS of navigational aids from New Jersey to Maine.

Visual (& audible) reference points are critical for marine navigation. Reliance solely on electronics is reckless & WILL impact public safety.

We gotta get loud about this 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Rep Eric Swalwell walked out in *shock*—and who could blame him?

Every single GOP member on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to let Trump “deport” American citizens.

This is illegal, authoritarian, and unforgivable 🤬

Time to call, write, & protest before the full House votes.

Looking forward to seeing everyone out there for tomorrow’s May Day protest!

We know the protests have been coming fast, but that’s because things in the U.S. are getting worse, and protests show the strength of our movement.
