Funny how the two guys who want to deport immigrants are both married to immigrants.

Trump’s incoming administration isn’t just mostly white and mostly male.

It’s also mostly rapist.

Child sex slaves were relatively common in the times of our Founding Fathers, as was the use of what we would now describe as amphetamines and hallucinogens. So it's really hard for me to see an intellectually honest argument against confirming Matt Gaetz

Choosing to speak publicly about an upcoming policy or rule change rather than quietly processing it.

Choosing to deliver information about the scale of harm of a policy in a public memo rather than behind closed doors.

[Emily Galvin-Almanza @GalvinAlmanza]

Also, so much of this can just be acts of professional scrupulousness and moral rectitude. Declining to follow an illegal order, or delaying a process to seek legal advice on an order that might be illegal.

A short thread on what refusal to comply can look like, with specifics, examples, and ideas for what the future may hold.

Actually IDK if it's gonna be short, but it's gonna be specific, so read on if you're curious.

This is the man who will be leading America's top health agency.

The reason sugary cereal is bad — "worse" than hamburgers — is because it is easy to eat lots of it, it is calorie dense, it doesn't sate you, and it is extremely cheap! Not the f*ing ingredient list!

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

US law is clear: No nation blocking US humanitarian aid can receive US weapons.

Palestinian children are forced to eat pet food and bug infested flour, but @SecBlinken says there’s no need to change our policy. The Biden administration is refusing to comply with US law.

every trump appointment is like "Donald Trump has appointed the Grinch as director of the Department of Christmas"

The cost of eggs is higher because Kroger, Costco, Albertsons, Target, and Walmart raised prices.

These five corporations have reported over $29 billion in profits.

Trump wants to give them a $1.7 billion yearly tax break.

Yes, really.

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

Joe Biden is president. The Democrats have a majority in the Senate. They should confirm all of these nominees - as the Republican Senate confirmed Trump's judicial nominees, including Aileen Cannon, after he lost in 2020.

I can't figure out if vaccines work or not.

Tough one. I can see why RFK Jr is so concerned.

Need Sherlock Holmes on this one.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The world's 10 richest people saw their fortunes skyrocket by a jaw-dropping $64 billion after Trump's victory Tuesday night.

Make no mistake: the ultra-wealthy and Wall Street will make out like bandits during the second Trump term. Everyone else will be left behind.

Tonight I learned something I’ve always suspected. Most people will support a rapist over a woman.

I am hearing that Ob/Gyn residency applicants are pulling their applications from red states.

As someone who now lives in a red state, my heart breaks for the women here. But I also understand.
