This is why you fight these cowards.

The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Just another example of media double standards: it's apparently unfair to point out how child molesters are disproportionately conservative. The same exact people who call everyone else groomers.

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

The largest tuberculosis outbreak ever documented is happening right now in Kansas... If only we had a government agency who could communicate to the public about it, and let people know what they should do to keep their loved ones safe...

Are you paying ATTENTION, yet?!

The thing about this border violence is that it’s all about whitening America. Not just demographically by evicting people but also by evoking imagery of Black and brown people as unwanted & unAmerican. Anti-immigration is a Black & brown issue regardless of your migration status.

Costco shareholders voted strongly against a proposal requesting a report on the risks of maintaining its diversity and inclusion initiatives, the US company said, sending a message running counter to the intense scrutiny many such corporate policies face. cnn.it/3PQdvlo

These emails, sent across agencies, compel all federal employees to snitch on any colleague whose work might have some vague DEIA inflection. Those who refuse to snitch will be disciplined.

Seems designed to put all workers who aren’t white men under a cloud of suspicion. Truly vile stuff.
The acting director of the Office of Personnel Management (the feds' H.R. department) is telling federal employees to rat out their DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility) colleagues by emailing "[email protected]."

This from @aoc.bsky.social.

The targeting of migrants for detention & deportation, without due process, is an outrage in itself. But it’s also about profiteering.

We now know UnitedHealth—under Brian Thompson—illegally overcharged cancer patients for meds by more than 1000%.

What we don't know is how many cancer patients died or were financially ruined as a result?

What we demand to know is why that act isn't deemed corporate murder & where are the arrests?
