Republican party is the problem. The whole of it. The spinelessness. We need to keep bearing down on that. Trump is just a massive symptom, but the party allowed this.

Stephen Colbert ended his show with more joy and happiness than Donald Trump has ever felt in his lifetime, and more than he will ever feel in the rest of his days. Thank you, Stephen. May this country follow your smiling lead to better days. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Just responded to a sighting of ICE on foot at nearby apartments. They’re out of the way and there’s a major snowstorm as we speak. Some of the worst road conditions I’ve ever seem; spun out my car trying to get there. When I arrived 5 minutes after the call, at least 30 people were already there.

The red containers spell "rEnEE" which is a reference to Renee Good, the woman who was murdered by an ICE officer in Minneapolis on January 7 2026.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

It’s true. We shouldn’t pretend that. Trumpist culture is not the same as American culture and not equal. Trumpist culture is proudly ignorant, defiantly against America’s founding values and subsequently developed values, venomously bigoted, and generally despicable.

👀 Scoop: Trump and Republicans want USPS to sell off its brand new EVs and chargers. That would mean literally **ripping up post office parking lots** to auction off assets with no private-sector value. It’s buried in the Senate’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
The Senate’s version of Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill would see the General Services Administration take possession of the nearly 7,200 new postal EVs and associated infrastructure and put the assets up for auction. The proposal is unlikely to generate much revenue for the government; there is almost no private-sector interest in the mail trucks, and used EV charging equipment — built specifically for the Postal Service and already installed in postal facilities — generally cannot be resold.

“The funds realized by auctioning the vehicles and infrastructure would be negligible. Much of infrastructure is literally buried under parking lots, and there is no market for used charging equipment,” Peter Pastre, the Postal Service’s vice president for government relations and public policy, wrote to senators this month.

I’m working on a longer thread on this, but to be very clear, we do not issue social security numbers (SSNs) to undocumented immigrants or foreign workers. If they have an SSN, they are documented. They may be a refugee or asylum seeker or have Temporary Protected Status. But they are documented.

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns. Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity. It’s been the plan for decades.

Just as a sidenote: I appreciate the media follow-up on this from people like Kyle. Commissioner Dudek has extensive means to lie, lie, lie, lie, and lie some more about the court proceedings. Judge Hollander has very limited means to rebut that, and has to rely on the media to report it.

Cc: ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGES: +29 others
Good morning, Andrea. Apparently no one in leadership is willing to ring the alarm bells so it falls upon one of us to do it. The tactics you are employing and actions you have taken in lock step with this new administration are illegal and unconstitutional. You are not fit to be our chair much less hold a license to practice law. I will not participate in attempts to target private citizens and colleagues through the recent illegal executive orders. I swore an oath to the Constitution of the United States, and the Commission serves the people of the United States. If you want to continue following the illegal and unethical orders of our president and the unelected leader of "doge" that's on you.


As I said in the email I sent to my colleagues yesterday (which was mysteriously deleted not only from their inboxes, but from my sent box), I know I take a great personal risk in sending out this message. But, at the end of the day, my actions align with what the EEOC was charged with doing under the law. I will not compromise my ethics and my duty to uphold the law. I will not cower to bullying and intimidation.


If upon reflection, you feel like now would be a good time to take a vacation and resign from your position, please 'reply all' to this email and put "I'd Like to Occupy Mars!" in the subject line. We will take this as notification that you are resigning your position as acting chair.

P.S. Happy Black History Month!

Sincerely, [redacted]
