After she was maligned as a DEI hire and blamed for *checks notes* fires in California that happen annually, someone fucking murdered her.

Are we great yet.

RIP Rebecca Marodi.

This is just such bullshit. #fucktrump #fuckelon
A federal judge ruled in favor of the Trump administration, allowing it to proceed with mass terminations of probationary federal workers. The administration has already dismissed 6,700 employees from the IRS, with plans to lay off an additional 50,000 workers from the Defense Department next.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve

These books are not meant to be aspirational—so let’s keep this ideology the fuck out of our government, yeah?

I’ve been a little consumed by reading The Murderbot Diaries recently and decided my new bestie needed the full illustration treatment

As a progressive in a red state, I understand that you may get sick of calling in large part because it feels pointless. But I have a secret. It's called SPITE.

SPITE as I fill up their voicemails.
SPITE until they're exhausted of hearing from me.

They can be cowards, but I still won't be silent.
I'm going to be honest:

I'm blocking people who are complaining in my mentions that they're sick of calling their reps and people should just do their jobs.

Yes, ideally, this is how government should work in theory. But we're at a crisis point, and it's all hands on deck.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Mr. President: Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, I have a better idea.
 
In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave & workers don’t make less than $22 an hour. 

Let's steal those ideas.
