Donald Trump fired the people who make sure you and your parents get the health care you need. The people who make sure medical devices are safe for you to use. The people who approve the lifesaving drugs you rely on. How does this help working people?

The thing is people freaked out by “diversity,” are mad if even one of us appears. Mad our credentials look just as good (or better) than theirs. Freaked out by the questions it raises. It’s not rational. Students looked slightly different, profs looked even less different, and they just melted down

January price hikes are just the beginning. Pharma companies are lobbying to strip away cost controls, meaning even higher prices ahead. Congress must stop this. Read more here: bit.ly/4gu5A86

Then, on Feb. 6, we learned that the Trump administration had rescinded even more job offers—this time for seasonal law enforcement rangers, wildland firefighters, and EMTs. These are roles directly tied to public safety, supposedly exempt from Trump’s Jan. 20 hiring freeze.

I personally believe Trumps goal is to make America join BRICS I think he's working with Russia to make it happen. With America joining as a Russian ally Russia would have more influence in this alliance as they push back against democracy in the west

Reminder: Black history offers many examples of fighting authoritarianism, so one doesn't always have to look to Europe. Nazi lawyers looked to Jim Crow for inspiration for their racist laws. Read as much about struggles against Jim Crow as you do about other examples of resisting authoritarianism

Do NOT open your door for any authority unless they have a warrant — from a court, signed by a judge. NO warrant, NO entry. If they arrest you, you ALWAYS have the right to remain silent, even if they don’t read you any rights. The ONLY thing to say: “I want a lawyer.”

A huge decision from Judge Amir Ali, meticulously reasoned and utterly scathing, finding that Trump’s foreign aid freeze is almost certainly an illegal and arbitrary abuse of power. He orders the immediate restoration of all international assistance. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Consistent with the reasoning above, it is hereby ORDERED that Defendants Marco
Rubio, Peter Marocco, Russell Vought, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Agency for
International Development, and the Office of Management and Budget (the "Restrained
Defendants") and their agents are temporarily enjoined from enforcing or giving effect to Sections
1, 5, 7, 8, and 9 of Dep't of State, Memorandum, 25 STATE 6828 (Jan. 24, 2025) and any other
directives that implement Sections 3(a) and 3(c) of Executive Order Number 14169, "Reevaluating
and Realigning United States Foreign Aid" (Jan. 20, 2025), including by:
• suspending, pausing, or otherwise preventing the obligation or disbursement appropriated foreign-assistance funds in connection with any contracts, grants, cooperative
agreements, loans, or other federal foreign assistance award that was in existence as of
January 19, 2025; or
• issuing, implementing, enforcing, or otherwise giving effect to terminations, suspensions, or stop-work orders in connection with any contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, loans, or other federal foreign assistance award that was in existence as of January 19, 2025.

It is further hereby ORDERED that nothing in this order shall prohibit the Restrained
Defendants from enforcing the terms of contracts or grants.
It is further hereby ORDERED that the Restrained Defendants shall take all steps necessary to effectuate this order and shall provide written notice of this order to all recipients of
existing contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements for foreign assistance.
It is further hereby ORDERED that the Restrained Defendants shall file a status report by
February 18, 2025, apprising the Court of the status of their compliance with this order, including by providing a copy of the written notice described above.
The parties shall meet and confer and file a joint status report by February 14, 2025, at 5:00
p.m. proposing an expedited preliminary injunction briefing schedule.

United States District Judge
