It’s time for folks at DoD and in the IC to start lawyering up.
If you’re an officer or official who was forced into pushing through potentially illegal orders, get a lawyer.
If you’re a soldier, seaman or airman who was forced to execute them, get a lawyer.

REMINDER: President Biden NEVER cut SNAP payments, never even had a government shutdown.
In fact, he cut child poverty in half.
He cut child hunger, too.

Please Lord let’s graciously remove this grotesque obscenity of man from office away from power.
Blessed he be gone however god forbid anything happen to him, I don’t think I could bear the endless ceremonies, idolization monuments and documentaries to commemorate him as a martyr!

When it comes to standing up to attacks on our people and our democracy, my advice is this:
Don't try to do everything. Find one thing you can do to mitigate the harms. If everyone does that, we'll get through this.

This is my kind of good trouble.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

It’s been 15 years since Congress raised the minimum wage.
In that time, costs for rent, groceries, and utilities have soared.

The American oligarchy is back, and it’s out of control
It’s the third time in the nation’s history that a small group of hyper-wealthy people have gained political power over the rest of us. Here’s what we must do.
