We will not normalize…

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Who is going to start holding a regular press conference at the same time as Whitehouse press conference. Let all the media outlets in like in the good ole days of free speech.

@gene4va.bsky.social: “[Hegseth] fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs because he is a Black man. He fired the director of naval operations because she was a woman. They're trying to purge folks… that have achieved positions through decades of hard work… and they're replacing them with yes men.”

Unfortunately- iI don’t think this doesn’t really qualify as satire right now.

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

Trump blames others but Washington air crash comes amid upheaval in US aviation

This is your angle @npr.org ? Not sounding like a trusted news source.

This is a slap in the face to American women.

Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations.

Our troops deserve better.

We’re meant to calmly accept the absurd idea that any white man is innately qualified for any job or position, no matter what his education, resume or proven capabilities and any non-white man or woman inherently stole their way into employment via #DEI. This of course is pure, undiluted fascism.

Why appoint unqualified, incompetent people to crucial roles?

Sometimes it’s strategy—to disrupt and dismantle systems for control.

Weak leaders spread fear and chaos.

Strong leaders unite, calm fears, and inspire hope.

"The Trump Administration's harmful executive orders rolling back diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives are an affront to all of us. Diversity is our strength and everyone who calls this country home deserves to thrive.   “These programs and the dedicated employees who administer them are deeply necessary to ensure government works for everyone in America, which is why I worked closely with the Biden-Harris Administration and then-Ranking Member Raskin to center equity and justice in every administrative policy decision across federal agencies.  

“It is a fact that systemic oppression codified in our laws and budgets has harmed women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ people, those with disabilities and other underserved communities in this country.   “Rather than advance cruel and callous policies that undermine progress, I invite Republicans to change course and work with us in advancing legislation that actually helps people from all walks of life."

Trump's rollback of DEI initiatives are an affront to all of us.
 
It is a FACT that systemic oppression codified in our laws & budgets has harmed women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ & disabled folks, & many others.

BREAKING: A district court ruled that the FBI's use of Section 702 to conduct warrantless searches of a person's digital communications violates the Fourth Amendment.

This is a victory for our right to privacy from government spying.

Brave yourselves for more of the like.

It looks great so far!

Plus the fact that search results are somewhat suspect and will increasingly be based on Oligarchy preferences. It is work and well more than a simple google search to be truly informed.

I do not like weaving in color change ends. So usually use the magic knot at the end of a row.. takes some preciseness but worth it to me. Loving these colors so far.. #crochetjourney

I’ve done very little knitting, mostly crochet and Tunisian crochet. Love the ribbed and cable looks.

“Jennifer, thank you for loving him through that mistake,” referring to Hegseth’s wife, “ the only reason why I’m here and not in prison is because my wife loved me, too.”

Misogyny tells women to love men into decency. Patriarchy expects them to comply. Women are not responsible for fixing men!

Pete Hegseth with a bottle of Jack Daniels. Text above him says "DUI HIRE".

Who made this?! 😂

The Jack Smith Report. “But for Trump’s election”. Should ring loudly in everyone’s mind over the few years. The term Failing forward is embedded in this next administration from the top office and beyond.
