He’s the president
🚨 BREAKING: This is beyond outrageous. Elon Musk, his cranky mother Maye, and one of his young kids were chauffeured in Air Force One and Marine One—straight to the White House, where they’re apparently staying.

WTF is going on? It goes without saying, this is not normal. 🙄

“What about her emails” seems so quaint in the company of nameless faceless random civilians taking over the coding of the US govt computer systems just cause”he said we could”.

Any General, any Private, any Marine, any military person who supports trump is a traitor to the nation and to democracy, which they are sworn to uphold! I was a soldier; I worked with US military extensively! We were soldiers of democracy! Every soldier should think like General Milley!

Following the CDC's removal of critical health data and the potential approval of RFK Jr. as Health Secretary, it is crucial to access accurate health information from independent sources such as the WHO, Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins University, and peer-reviewed journals.

No country or governmental system is infallible. Because people are not infallible. We cannot speak of America’s greatness through willful ignorance. We must speak of America’s ability to change, to do better, to uphold the value that ALL PEOPLE are created equal.
So............ I have to teach about the U.S. Constitution today to an introductory level class.

How on earth am I supposed to pretend everything is just working normally?

Answer: I'm not going to pretend. I'm telling it like it is.

“And so the president’s opponents, whoever they are, cannot expect a return to the Constitution as it was. Whatever comes next, should the country weather this attempted hijacking, will need to be a fundamental rethinking of what this system is and what we want out of it.”

Americans did not vote for and do not support ending the federal government’s commitment to ensuring equal educational opportunities for every child.

Let’s not let politicians distract us from their failures to address the important issues for parents and families such as keeping students safe from gun violence, providing adequate resources for public schools, and fixing educator shortage and pay issues.

The Trump Administration is now threatening to withhold funding from schools that teach the whole history of America. This executive order is unnecessary and punitive. It does nothing to help educators inspire their students to learn and to give them the resources needed to succeed.

not that this particular mechanism really matters anymore but demanding that federal employees take a loyalty oath to the president is imo an impeachable offense
Anyone who takes a loyalty oath to Trump should be prevented from ever holding a position of trust in the federal government. It’s absolutely disqualifying.
Again, when we have power again, every single federal employee hired under Trump must be immediately fired and replaced by people who care about liberal democracy

Sen Tim Kaine (D-VA) speech about Trump Admin. "buyout" idea for federal workers

"He's tricked hundreds of people with that offer. If you accept that offer and resign, he'll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn't have any authority to do this. Do not be fooled by this guy"

If you’re a federal employee, you should know this is a lie. Congress hasn’t appropriated these monies and so it’s literally not there to be spent. Also, federal agencies are limited by law to a max $25K payout in the case of restructuring.
BREAKING 🚨 🚨 🚨

President Donald Trump's administration is set to offer every single federal worker the chance to take a "deferred resignation" with a severance package of roughly eight months of pay and benefits.

Trump administration will offer all 2 million federal workers a buyout to resign

Our children deserve nothing less than to be their true, authentic selves. Their medical care should be determined by their parents and doctors, not politicians. Trump's executive order banning gender-affirming care is harmful and cruel.

Vouchers have been a catastrophic failure—everywhere. They drain funding from neighborhood public schools, where 90% of students learn, and leave behind those who need support the most. If Trump were serious about helping kids, he'd invest in smaller class sizes, educator pay, and more resources.

I guess I’ll YouTube “how to use BlueSky”. Took Facebook and Instagram off of my phone Home Screen today.

While everything is currently sucky… here are a few things I’m feeling positive about and helping me to cope:

-New craft supplies
-My stack of TBR books
-Organizing spaces in my home
