Other hard lessons to learn: + Not all stories belong to you. + Don't just hire consultants. Hire talent from the cultures you're making games out of. + Put more BIPOC folks in leadership positions. + Support products from beyond America.

DOGE isn't just cutting vital government services. Each federal job loss could also result in the loss of at least one additional worker in the private sector. Working people having less money in their pockets to spend stifles local economies. What’s “efficient” about that?

The ring, discovered by a metal detectorist in the U.K., is estimated to sell for between $19,000 and $23,000 at auction.

Mahmoud Khalil expressed his political point of view peacefully. That’s supposed to be permitted in a democracy. If this egregious assault on civil liberties stands, what’s to stop Trump from arresting American citizens who support any cause his regime doesn’t like?

The former Philippine president is the first former leader from Asia to face charges at the International Criminal Court. Human rights groups say his violent crackdowns left up to 30,000 dead.

America, you broke through—the media, from small outlets to large, is finally picking up on what’s happening. Legislators, judges, and attorneys general across the country are speaking out. They hear you. We love you and are honored to serve you! 🦬💚🇺🇸

I’ve never been someone who hosts things, but with the Administration continuing to attack my culture, that’s changing. Tonight I’m hosting friends to celebrate Día de La Candelaria and eat tamales, made by a local Mexican immigrant chef. 🇲🇽

NEW: I'm hearing from federal employees that they're being told to file a FOIA request if they want their employee records. Meaning they've been locked out of their records and have to file a Freedom of Information Act Request to get them. If you got this email, please contact me. Signal in bio.

A reminder: Tariffs are a regressive tax that drives up prices on everyday goods. They disproportionately hurt the working class and poor who bear the brunt of higher costs while wealthier consumers feel significantly less impact.

ATTN: If you work for the FAA and you’ve been asked to halt external engagement with the industry, please contact me. My secure contact info is in my bio.

Watching the FireAid concerts for the LA fires , I was struck by how many Canadians took the stage in support. And I’ll never forget those yellow Canadian Super Scooper planes saving the day.

Happy: Black history Black present Black future Black love Black joy Black health Black healing Black people Black community Black family Black kids Black culture Black creativity Black ingenuity Black legacy Black innovation Black liberation Black resistance Black existence ...month🖤

So the world's richest man spends a fortune backing Trump and is given the go-ahead to... -Run an "efficiency" agency despite having billions in govt contracts -Replace civil servants with his own cronies -Gain access to sensitive Treasury payment systems See the problem?

Replacing civil servants with loyalists. Upending the lives of millions who rely on federal programs. Grotesquely blaming "DEI" for disaster. Trump wants to consolidate power through divide-and-conquer tactics. We must stand together and fight back. youtu.be/wSYbNcjGjhA?...

We are deeply concerned about the current state of our country. As civil servants, we are doing everything in our power to resist, even if it costs us our jobs. We are proud to be Americans, but what is happening right now does not reflect the values we, as Americans, stand for!

I've seen this posted a lot and it just really hits home when you realize that history is truly repeating itself. 😱

they are trying to overwhelm us. don't let them. we wont give up. we're gonna win. it's going to take awhile, we're gonna get our asses kicked around a little, but we're gonna win. don't let the darkness of the moment blind you from the light of the future (it's so bright! i swear).

Russell Vought is the Project 2025 author that Trump wants to run OMB. He also supports the illegal practice of impoundment — which Trump tried to use yesterday. If Democrats want to be an actual opposition party, they'll do everything in their power to fight his nomination.

Please, PLEASE call your senators and urge them to oppose RFK Jr.'s nomination. You may think public health doesn't impact you (which would be impressive five years into a global pandemic), but it does, and people will die if he's confirmed.

JUST IN: Meta agreed to pay President Trump $25 million to settle a 2021 federal lawsuit alleging First Amendment violations after his suspension from Facebook and Instagram in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack.

I am so fucking tired. Physically, mentally, emotionally, all of it. Tired of nazis, tired of bullshit.

Medicaid didn't go offline because it was too "woke." School lunch programs weren't put at risk because of immigrants. Funding for cancer research wasn't on the chopping block because of trans people. All of this (and more) was jeopardized because of one person: Donald Trump.

This is a marathon and not a sprint. They want us to feel overwhelmed and give up. Take news breaks. Take water breaks. Use news aggregators you trust instead of doomscrolling. Hug your friends.

Don't comply, and especially don't preemptively comply. Even if everyone is telling you that something wrong is something right. Even if the whole world is telling you to move, it is your duty to plant yourself like a tree, look them in the eye, and say, ‘No, you move.' – Captain America: Civil War

HELL YEAH. DO NOT COMPLY IN ADVANCE. FIGHT THIS SHIT.

I used to work for an elected official as the person who answered their emails. I can tell you from personal experience, if even twenty or thirty people all call an official in a day, they start panicking. This stuff does help.

Stitch Hailey from the S&M FB group has the right idea 🩵 #snarkyandmodern #crossstitch #punchnazis

Christ, yes. Do not make me tap the sign, people!

has anyone else found it hard to be creatively productive this month hahahahahaha no i know i know

If you're in Illinois, you're on Section 8, and your landlord tries to evict you because of the government funding freeze, email me at [email protected]. My cases are pay-whatever-you-can.

Be cautious on social media—fednews is being monitored.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

Three authoritarian peas in a pod.

1/ RFK Jr. wants to observe unvaccinated kids in Samoa as a “natural experiment.” This is disturbingly similar to the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, where researchers let people suffer and die instead of treating them. Let’s compare. ⬇️

Thanks to George Conway for posting Caroline Kennedy’s letter to Senators setting the truth about her cousin RFK jr Straight He is truly unqualified in every way possible.
