Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

I’m currently work shopping acronyms to replace DEI with whatever this nonsense is.

I just heard from a nonprofit in Massachusetts that helps veterans with transitional housing.

Trump's shutdown of gov funding hurts their ability to buy and prepare food for 100+ veterans.

Rent is due in 5 days. The loss of funds could mean some veterans face eviction.

February 16, 2017 there was a #generalstrike #brownout called A Day without Immigrants.
I think there needs to be a follow up.

On a ‘Day Without Immigrants,’ Workers Show Their Presence by Staying Home (Published 2017)
In the New York region and around the country, many workers and business owners chose to not work as part of a protest of the Trump administration’s policies toward immigrants.

You gotta be fucking kidding me. We're not teaching Air Force cadets about some of the most legendary and effective air warriors because a draft-dodger said so?!

JHC it’s literally our history. It’s something to be proud of. We will not disappear and become invisible so they can go back to their BLAAAND world.

Employees at the membership counter today said that a line this long was very unusual. Seems like Costco’s DEI stance is having a positive effect on business.

Unsubscribe to the marketing emails and unfollow on social media also. They have entire departments that track these trends in customer interactions. They will notice the sudden drops.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

I was born in a blizzard.

My father had to trudge through the snow, from the upper west side to NYU to visit me and my mother. The subway was down. The city at a standstill in the quiet hush of snowfall.
