Trump ordered 2 Cali dams opened to back up his “I opened the pumps” story 🤦🏼 www.latimes.com/environment/...

Danasia Elder, one of the flight attendants on American Airlines Flight 5342 perished in the crash. My condolences to the family of beautiful servant. My sincerest sympathies to all who loved her.

The nonprofit Free Speech for People is driving a nonpartisan campaign to remove tRump, titled "Impeach Trump Again." By Thursday they'd already secured over 100,000 signatures, reflecting strong public demand for Congress to initiate an impeachment investigation www.commondreams.org/news/free-sp...

She’s probably hoping to be a personal assistant of some sorts for doing this.

My statement on the FBI Purge that puts at risk the safety, well-being and national security of the American people.

IMPEACH TRUMP. AGAIN. Trump is not a monarch. He is beholden to the Constitution, as is Congress. And as the Founders understood, if we are to preserve our democracy for the people, then Congress has a duty to investigate and, if necessary, remove a corrupt executive. www.impeachtrumpagain.org

This is a tremendous relief. I’ve been so stressed out about this.

Take yall children to those black history events that will be held at some local libraries. It starts at home

Musk, Trump & Our Money Trump ousted a top Treasury official for blocking Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team access to the system that pays Social Security, Medicare, tax refunds, and federal contracts. They’re not just coming for government waste—they’re coming for our money.

As the Pacific Coast Highway reopens this Sunday, we’re surging CHP patrols and keeping The California National Guard on standby. We’re reinforcing our commitment to protecting residents in Malibu and the Palisades, motorists, and first responders in the days and weeks ahead.

Black History Month is absolutely happening over here and it’s going to be magical! BNC’s Annual Black Magical History Month Celebration is back! We hope you’ll join us in this month long celebration of Black characters, stories, and people! 💜✨

The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable.

During 🤡’s first gig, we had resisters who kept a nonstop vigil at the White House with various light up signs. If you know who they were, PLEASE let me know! THIS IS WHAT WE NEED RIGHT NOW! An organized (peaceful) DC protest. I’m in. Who else? (We really need our white allies to lead here. 🙏🏽)

They're such hypocrites.

It might be my proximity to China/ North Korea having grown up in Japan but anytime I start to see praising of the Chinese system of government in jest or not I immediately think of the Uyghurs, Tibetans, Hong Kongers, and LGBTQIA Chinese It's not a utopia www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-at...

I briefly got DeepSeek to discuss the political repression of the Tibetans regarding the selection of the Panchen Lama before it got yoinked #DeepSeek #Tibet

Comforting to know we have a SecDef who doesn’t know the difference between short-range rockets and ICBMs.

7/ The point of all this is to destroy U.S. power in the world. That primarily helps China, who is INCREASING its aid programs as we disappear. China - the place where all of Trump's billionaires make their products and want deals to open markets. Think there's a connection?

Disappointing that PIFI used « Chinese Canadians » as the diaspora community targeted by the PRC 👀 Last I check Uyghurs, Tibetans, Hongkongers and Taiwanese communities aren’t « Chinese » Tsk tsk

Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials. www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

A second federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump admin from freezing federal funds impacted by the President’s executive orders. Blockety, blockety, block. 😂🤣

Just found out #Temu stole my mug design. I have reported it but it's just really sad how common this is. To bring creativity to life, artists need to make a living from what they do. You can help them. You can do that. Support them, follow them, buy from them if you can. Show some love.❤️ 🎨

Uyghur activists have welcomed the Biden administration’s blacklisting of a further 37 Chinese companies for ties to slave labor in China’s Xinjiang region, the largest addition yet to an import ban list introduced under legislation passed in late 2021. www.rfa.org/english/uygh...

Orphanage-style boarding schools for Uyghur children whose parents were detained by Xinjiang authorities in internment camps that began in 2017. RFA has found that at least six such schools are still operating in Yarkand, Keriye county and Kuchar City. www.rfa.org/english/uygh...

U.N. experts on Tuesday urged Thailand to halt the deportation of 48 Uyghurs held on immigration charges to China, where they would likely face torture, and treat nearly half of the group’s members for “serious health conditions.” www.rfa.org/english/uygh...

I shared some thoughts about developing methods for digital/remote ethnography at a time when few have access to regions such as the Uyghur homeland and Tibet. open.spotify.com/episode/4MXW...

Today marks ~7 years since the death of Muhemmed Salih (shahit.biz/eng/256/), a famous religious scholar who was detained in December 2017, despite being over 80 years old. He died at the No. 1 detention center in Urumqi a month later.

Omg. The crash in Philly is a Jet Rescue air ambulance, and has resulted in the tragic loss of all personnel onboard, including the flight crew, medical team, and the patient under transport.😢

BREAKING: At least 6 people killed in Philadelphia plane crash, including 2 pilots, 2 doctors and a patient - FOX29

Criminal trump orders deletion of info about climate change. He ordered the US Dept. of Agriculture to remove any mention of climate change from websites. Also the DHS has removed any mention of Ukraine. His whole administration is being built on lie's & propaganda. Very dangerous.

ICE will no longer consider if "an alien is a victim of a crime...a positive discretionary factor" in determining whether to deport them, per new ICE memo leaked to me

The Constitution is written, as its first seven words provide, on behalf of "we the people of the United States." The people are sovereign. We elect 537 representatives to exercise our sovereignty in the federal government. The President is the most powerful of them, but he's not sovereign himself.

All the people who were firefighting experts last week are now NTSB Air Disaster Investigators.

But my eggs…

Elon Musk is taking control of the inner workings of US government agencies... without an FBI background check, security clearance, or Senate confirmation.

An employee working for an agency funded by federal grants working in HIV care just told me that their manager said the CDC website is expected to come down "in its entirey" and "to save what they might need." Targethiv.org, run by the Health Resources and Services Administration, is already down.

REPORTER: Do you have any concerns that your commentary about things you described as common sense could in any way interfere with the thorough investigation of the crash? TRUMP: No. I think they'll do an investigation and it'll probably come out the way I said it ... I was right on all of it.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Donald Trump's looming 25% tariffs on Canada tomorrow: "If the president does choose to implement any tariffs against Canada, we're ready with a response. A purposeful, forceful but reasonable, immediate response."

🫣RFK Jr doesn’t know if the Covid vaccine saved lives.

I met David Hogg days after the Parkland shooting and I’ve watched him develop into the leader he is today. David is exactly the kind of person we need guiding the Democratic Party into the future and I’m proud to support his candidacy for DNC Vice Chair.

Trump: “If people aren't coming to work, if they're not going to come in the office and report ... then they're going to be terminated.” Does this include presidents who spend most of their time at the golf course?

You might want to put gas in your car today. Canada is America's biggest source of imported oil -- supplying almost 60%. When Canada slaps a retaliatory tariff on their oil, gas prices are going UP UP UP. All because of Donald Trump.

Cowardly political reporters are actively covering up Trump’s racism.

REPORTER: With the govt offering buyouts, are you not afraid more aviation incidents could happen with less staffing? LEAVITT: POTUS is intent on ensuring that we are increasing staffing . That's why he signed a very strong EO on his 2nd day immediately terminating DEI hiring practices at the FAA.
