Trump officials have terminated more than 300 staffers at the National Nuclear Security Administration without realizing that they oversee America’s nuclear weapons.
They are now trying to rescind the terminations.

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated.
Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭
It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where *everyone* cared about their job and serving others.

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.

Massive, untargeted tariffs on allies like Canada make no sense. Canada is Minnesota’s #1 trading partner.
This is nothing but a tax increase on Minnesota families that I plan to fight.

As predicted, Trump's latest grift, hie meme coin, is tanking — flushing the hard-earned money of his cult members down the toilet. Like I've said, MAGA fascists are the dumbest and most gullible motherfuckers on the planet.

This isn’t “anti-woke” (whatever that means). It’s just the fetishization of ignorance. Refusing to collect data to ask questions is a rejection of science itself. It will get people killed. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
CDC removes gender, equity references in public health material
Large sets of data are being scrubbed of references to transgender and LGBTQ+ people, among others, which could compromise their use in research.

Hitler famously hated red lipstick so, in Allied countries, it became a sign of patriotism and a statement against fascism. With the Trump regime being compared to the Nazi Party of 1934 Germany, the red lipstick movement is flourishing among Gen Z, including young men. 🙌💪👏👊

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban.
