I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

THIS is why we made this film....people need to know what's happening and how you can get involved! www.bannedtogetherdoc.com

It's almost impossible to understand why... or to find any legitimate reasons for any action taken by the Trump administration.

Cutting the arts, cancer research, DEI programs, holidays that highlight the sheer variety of people in this country....does nothing to help anyone, or to save money. But as Joyce Vance says, the hypocrisy is amazing...

Progress!

We are not sheep. Get louder. Take action. Create a shadow cabinet. February 10, 2025

@rbhubbell.bsky.social says it’s time for the Dem MOC to implement a Shadow Cabinet. @timothysnyder.bsky.social has been sounding the alarm to do this. Robert’s suggestions who should be on it are in his article. We can add to it. @repjasmine.bsky.social comes to mind. Let’s do this! 202-224-3121.

Donald Trump Says He's Fired Kennedy Center Board Members and Will Name Himself Chairman Donald Trump announced on Friday that he intends to fire the current leadership at the Kennedy Center and name himself chairman.

Today the SC State Board of Education BANNED 4 more books from ALL schools in SC. This is outrageous and it will continue. We must all stand up to protect our students & their right to read. One parent challenged these books. This is from our friends at FABB - always there supporting our students:

Supporting authors during this time of book challenges and bans is so important. Jodi Picoult's book, Nineteen Minutes, was the most banned book of 2024. Thank you for continuing to write about important human stories and for supporting the youth activists in our film! @jodipicoult.bsky.social
