Telling it like it is 🔥 "Once again, we are seeing the federal government retaliate against our civil servants for whistleblowing—which is both illegal and a deep betrayal of the most dedicated among us." www.newsweek.com/fema-staff-l...
Today's a federal holiday because on the eve of the 20th century machinists, carpenters, and people who worked in mills, mines, and factories joined together to fight for better wages and a day to honor working people. If you're enjoying the holiday today, thank the labor movement.
How about both?

Private institutions are profiting from ICE detention centers just like they do prisons. States that align their police departments with ICE benefit from financial kickbacks; it’s a business model built to generate revenue. 👇🏾

Trump Did That.
He put chalk on his shoes then walked on the Pulse Memorial crosswalk. Police arrested him. But the court said they had no cause and he was released. The man arrested is now considering suing the state of Florida citing first amendment right violations.
They need to also a civil suit for damages in order to get reparation and it needs to be filed with her parents as also suffering damages.

the Federal Employees & Contractors Oral History Project (FECOHP) was launched in 3/2025 by the Organization of American Historians (OAH). Directed by an experienced oral historian & former federal historian, the project seeks to capture this pivotal moment through the voices of those who lived it.
I’m absolutely begging reporters to stop suggesting that Lisa Cook stated that she would use both properties as a principal residence on her mortgage APPLICATIONS Mortgage APPLICATIONS and mortgage AGREEMENTS are not the same thing We have no idea what she represented on the APPLICATIONS

It really is just so mind blowing how overtly not nice people are being. That's mild language but I think it's the best I can express all the heartless things going on.

One disabled Marine veteran has not had a primary care doctor assigned to him since his previous doctor left in the winter, his wife said. The VA “was never like this before. There’s a lack of staff, empty rooms, locked doors.”
Trump wants a billion dollar ball room & equally expensive airplane for himself- but not a penny for kids with cancer
Little kids with brain cancer. That’s who Donald Trump and RFK Jr. are screwing over by cutting health care.

I'm not sure I ever will
Such a surprise
That's nice. There are none where I am.
They're often getting a lower rate that residential customers subsidize.
If you can afford that. The upfront unsubsized costs prohibit most from trying.

That all? We've doubled fees using half the power.
Microplastics impact cellular development success not personality or thought traits. Every living thing is impacted from plants and insects to humans and animals in our food supply. Our water is polluted. Regulation and remediation is needed now and leaders can't even agree to make less new plastic.
Enlightened societies do not insist on perfection. Do you think granpa the toy train enthusiast was just a hobbiest? Farmer Bob's wife won all the county fair bake sales because she was naturally gifted? It's always been there without a label. Cancer and diabetes too.

And this is where we are. Terrorizing children because we can.
He wasn't shot, he didn't win, he's on the list.
NEW: The Texas legislature passed an anti-trans bill which restricts restroom use in public buildings across the state. Instead of addressing residents' needs like disaster relief, Texas politicians used a special session to attack trans rights. Our communities deserve better.
Our national parks generated $56 billion in visitor spending and supported 415,000 jobs in 2023. The entire National Park Service budget was just $3.6 billion. That’s some return on investment — so why is Donald Trump taking an axe to our parks?
Still working on it, I can't do much from a hospital bed but I can work through photos and identify subjects, collate data, work on the addendum. If you're curious, check it out, if you like what you see, please do consider a donation tonight. gofund.me/babd9034

🚨NEW in 2026 from CMS, Dr. Oz's DREAM: Medicare Privatization aka WISeR (Wasteful and Inappropriate Service Reduction) Model. Starting in 6 States for 2026: NJ, AZ, WA, OK, OH, TX w/Prior Authorizations will be limited to (most BAFFLING) Pain Magangement & surgeries designed to REDUCE opioid usage!🚨
They’re detaining wildfire fighters while on the job. Insanity.
Trump and Dr. Oz want AI to decide which Medicare patients get care—and they're giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. Everything about this is sick and wrong. Tell Congress to intervene NOW:
Retaliate much? Small man.
My eldest came of age in the era of school shootings & EVERY nightmare she ever has involves an active shooter. She overheard me talking about the harms of smartphones & schools banning them & said… “YOU CAN’T TAKE OUR PHONES IF YOU AREN’T TAKING THEIR GUNS” So, anyway, fuck the #GOP #ItsTheGuns

Mayor Brandon of Chicago responds to a question from a reporter if pushing back will make things harder? “Can you imagine if my ancestors would have had the same rationale? Let’s not fight against the Confederacy. Let’s just try to get along, and maybe one day they’ll give us our freedom?”
There's been ton of time spent by a lot of folks defending or criticizing Gavin Newsom's mocking and trolling of our ersatz president. Here's a take I hadn't seen yet. Have a listen. #GavinNewsom #whiteprivilege

I often talk about the fact that MAGA does not access the same news as the left wing. I present to you Exhibit A. Dr. Daskalakis’ resignation letter excoriated RFK Jr. and shared that RFK Jr. was lying to the public, manipulating data, and ordering unethical actions. This what Fox News served.
Vaccines are safe and effective. RFK Jr. isn’t.
Dr. Demetre, in his resignation from the CDC, said this: “I have never experienced such radical non-transparency, nor have I seen such unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end rather than the good of the American people”. It is an outrage that RFK Jr. remains as head of HHS.
Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.
Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser said the federal surge has helped in fewer gun crimes, fewer homicides and led to an extreme reduction in carjackings. But it has led to a “break in trust between, police and community, especially with new federal partners.” https://to.pbs.org/4lPr8P4

I truly don't understand why everyone isn't pulling out Milgram's studies right now. The mental illness that leads humanity to follow authority without input is how we got here.
What fundamentalist Christians have is not faith; it's obedience. There is a substantial difference. Obedience requires nothing from you and promises to save you. It's a hormone rush, a genuine drug addiction. There is nothing about belief or faith here.
5,203 mass shootings since 2015. FOUR of them by trans people. Yet MAGA clowns keep attacking trans folks instead of doing a damn thing to stop these shootings. They’ve got all the power at their fingertips, but won’t lift a finger to actually protect our kids.
At least 190 journalists have been killed in Gaza since the attacks began in October 2023, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/w...

I'm not saying it was the right thing for the reporters to show the world but that kid had something to get out in his way of translating his trauma. He's going to relive that with or without reporters. Feeling heard and seen will help his healing.
Never become numb to a mother's suffering. Not here. Not now. Not yesterday. Not tomorrow.
And just like that, $450 million of YOUR taxpayer dollars down the drain. All for this cruel spectacle that nobody asked for. apnews.com/article/flor...

Lisa Cook is right not to resign. Trump’s attempt to fire her without cause is flatly illegal. www.nysun.com/article/i-wi...
How can Democratic candidates win special elections with 22 point swings while the Democratic Party has such low approval ratings? The answer isn’t hard to figure out. And it’s not because voters think national Democrats are doing too much and going too far in opposition to Trump’s abuses.
To be clear, you’re not allowed to wear or display political stuff at AFRH regardless of party.
Wow. On NPR, @gbrumfiel.bsky.social reports a Social Security official “copied the Social Security numbers, names and birthdays of over 300 million Americans to a private section of the agency's cloud.” The source is a whistleblower, who is named: Charles Borges, SSN chief data officer.
Whew! Sen. Susan Collins should be “very concerned” She showed up as the main guest at a ribbon-cutting in Searsport, Maine. It backfired. The crowd was not happy to have her: “Shame. Shame. Shame.”
all im saying is if we start saying we think the first one is more woke we can really fuck with their heads
Cash bail creates a two-tiered system of justice where the wealthy can buy their way out of jail. Cashless bail lets judges detain people based on flight risk and community threat, rather than financial means, and does not raise crime rates. Don't fall for Trump's lies.
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
One more time 👏👏👏
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it

Airport service workers have been quietly let go as the Trump administration remakes immigration policy to narrow pathways into the workforce. Scores of workers have been impacted at Logan — and hundreds nationwide.
