Frankly it’s embarrassing how much George Orwell’s “1984” gets wrong about 1984. The publisher should update it to be more accurate, e.g. “Winston heard ‘Eat It’ by Weird Al Yankovic playing on the radio. ‘I’d hate to be Michael Jackson right now!’ he said to Big Brother”

We want to take a moment to express how proud we are of you, America. You have stood up and spoken out every step of the way—especially when Congress and the media remained silent. When we called for help, you answered.

The reckless decision to release billions of gallons of water from the Terminus and Schafer Dams is already hurting farms and farmers.

It’s a massive waste.

I'm demanding answers from the Army Corps of Engineers about what happened. And why.

People are talking about having to change their CVs in order to continue to work with certain grant funded programs or for their own program to be contracted for services. Can't specialize in black folk/culture/community anything.

i dunno. i think when someone invokes the Fifth Amendment during their confirmation hearing to be director of the FBI, something is amiss.

Is the criteria to be an FBI agent swearing allegiance to the Constitution?

Or is it swearing allegiance to Donald Trump?

The guy so overtly fascist and pro-eugenics that even Musk fired him from DOGE?

Yeah, Trump is rehiring him

Another of musk's youth turns out to have a shady past, this one for leaking secrets. Particularly important given that he has unlawfully been given access to the private information of all government employees

Edward Coristine posted online that he had retained access to the firm’s servers. Now he has access to sensitive government information.

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.

LOOK CLOSER: My oldest son operates a 300k crane. It's a big crane. Today, he was sent home early because the undocumented workers who do the hard, labor-intensive work staging the loads to be picked up didn't come to work. His current job site, which is usually bustling, is a ghost town.
