Just so we’re clear, I’m a federal whistleblower and I’m whatever the opposite of suicidal is. apnews.com/article/eeoc...

Meet the federal worker who went rogue: ‘I hope that it lights a fire under people’
To billionaire Elon Musk and his cost-cutting team at the Department of Government Efficiency, Karen Ortiz may just be one of many faceless bureaucrats.

New ridiculous Dem talking point incoming… watch them using “bipartisan” all over the place, like stale croutons in a $hit salad. They just refuse to actually do their job and IMPEACH CONVICT and REMOVE Don the Con.

I propose a tax exemption for people who refuse to fund genocide and illegal wars. The Taxpayers of Conscience Act.

I’m convinced the whole “imposter syndrome” discourse a few years back was a psy op because look at the absolute genocidal, ped0file protecting nincompoops running around DC. There should be way more of us regular folks running for office.

Unions should be PUBLICLY AND LOUDLY speaking out in support of trans people. Anti-trans rhetoric is also a labor issue. Support trans workers!

Rep. LaMonica McIver is facing up to 16 yrs in fed prison for DOING HER JOB conducting oversight of Delaney Hall. And even though she is being targeted by tRumpty dumpty and co., NONE of her colleagues are invoking Rule 9 and calling for a vote on the many Articles of Impeachment already introduced.

Polls show that a majority of Americans support impeachment. It’s Congress that needs to catch up and get on board. #impeachconvictremove

Fuçk IÇE and their torture gloves. Fuçk IÇE and their concentration camps. Fuçk IÇE and their electronic shackles. Fuçk IÇE and all of the contractors who do “business” with them. IÇE is a domestic ENEMY and shall be treated as such.

We celebrate #KarenOrtiz, a woman of true integrity and courage. By law, the #EEOC fights discrimination. Yet, in 2025, the new presidential administration began using the agency to discriminate. Then-Administrative Law Judge Ortiz risked her career to speak out.

If a candidate is not calling for the U.S. to defund Israel, THEY SHOULD NOT BE RUNNING FOR CONGRESS. Israel is killing families, babies, civilians. Israel is polluting the environment with bombs with our tax dollars. Support candidates with the moral clarity and courage to say: DEFUND ISRAEL.

Don’t let Congress fool you. The demotion of Kristi Noem, the stories swirling around about tRump firing Pam Bondi are part of the duopoly’s group project to avoid actually doing their job - impeaching, convicting, and removing the regime. This is all a game and a pr rouse so they can fundraise.

535 people could end this nightmare. ANY Representative in the House, including my Rep @repjerrynadler could call for a vote on the Articles of Impeachment that have already been introduced. The Senators, including mine @senschumer and @senkirstengillibrand can convict and remove him.

On this Transgender Day of Visibility, as the Trump administration and the EEOC continues to attack trans and nonbinary people, I reaffirm my resolve to fight for the rights of all transgender and nonbinary people. #transrightsarehumanrights #transdayofvisibility

After I spoke out in support of trans people as an EEOC administrative judge, I received the loveliest notes, cards, and even flowers sent to my office by total strangers. Strangers who know that trans rights are human rights and trans people deserve allies who will fight like hell for them.
