“RESIST. DO NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES.”Judge Ortiz emailed her EEOC colleagues after the anti-trans EO. She told me, “The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up. I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.”
How Federal Employees Are Fighting Back Against Elon Musk
Some civil servants are using whatever levers they have to resist the orders of the world’s richest man, both in public and behind closed doors.

They may surprise me but I don't know how Dems provide a single vote for GOP spending bills in this Congress. Nothing they negotiate for would be safe. And the swing seat members are voting for the GOP message bills anyway, votes on approps won't matter.
Musk isn’t out to eliminate USAID and the Dept of Education. He’s out to eliminate the legislative and judicial branches of government. If this stands, they have no power.
In response to a post on X from @maxwellfrost.bsky.social showing the effort to get into the Department of Education building this morning, Elon Musk replied, "No such department exists in the federal government"

Jamie Raskin is known for his goal-scoring prowess but this is a butter-smooth assist
the speed with which AOC’s colleague jumps up to yield her an extra 30 seconds so she can land her closer: teamwork
AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

Democrats who want to be relevant and have a future with the party, look at AOC, Jamie Raskin, Jasmine Crockett, Senators Van Hollen and even Murphy right now.
They're the ones calling it out, refusing to bend the knee, and reflecting the righteous anger of America against the broligarchy.

I feel so bad for kids today. No wonder so many young people are frustrated and incurious in school.
Super excited to publicly launch "All Day TA" (http://www.alldayta.com), a product @joshgans.bsky.social and I have been working on with our team over the last year. Short version: if you teach in spring, you will want to use this! It's the future of higher education. A short thread: 1/x

Yep. anytime someone tries to sell you on their new “AI tool” replace this with “hey checkout my new labor misclassification arbitrage scam”
Anyone who has had so much as a passing engagement with AI will immediately see that this emperor is in his birthday suit. Can we please agree not to push higher education even further into bargain basement mode through a new, AI-fuelled race to the bottom? Students deserve better than that.

As the ICC finally issues arrest warrants for Israel’s leaders, here’s a promise.
To those who helped facilitate Israel’s genocide - Western politicians, media outlets, and journalists:
We will not rest until you are held accountable for the crime you helped commit.
