My husband ran a successful business and used our local rural post office daily. My elderly neighbor’s meds come through the rural post office. The post office is one of the only places left open in my rural community. Losing it could quite literally kill my town and my neighbors.

BREAKING: Homeland Security is ending a collective bargaining agreement with tens of thousands of TSA employees, marking a major attack on worker rights.

Unconfirmed rumor that DOGE has started monitoring badges at SSA and at other agencies (FEMA was specifically mentioned) and if an employee leaves for lunch and badges back into the building more than thirty minutes after they left, fired. Same with breaks. Gone more than 15 minutes, fired. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

DOGE scrubbed a long-dead contract from its site—the same place it’s been posting phony “receipts” to fake success. Do they not understand how government works, or are they lying to the public? My opinion: These aren’t mistakes. They’re trying to dupe us.

Mexico and Canada should both ban X and Facebook. As well as every other democracy in the world that wants to stay in existence.

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

This morning's jobs report shows that the U.S. economy added just 151,000 jobs last month, falling below expectations. The report also contains more warning signs for the future.

Every casino and resort on the Vegas Strip is now 100% union. The Culinary and Bartenders Unions have reached an agreement with Fontainebleau Las Vegas, and for the first time in the 90-year history of the strip every establishment is totally unionized. 963kklz.com/2025/03/06/l...

Why on Earth would Vladimir Putin ever take this threat seriously? What has Donald Trump ever done in his entire political career that would lend weight or any sort of seriousness to this claim of a supposed willingness to sanction Russia? And why is major media so credulous about this empty wind?

Preach, AOC 👏👏👏

Like spoiled kids quarreling over toys, but instead, they're toying with people's lives.

- Secretary Doug Collins warned that Musk’s cuts would harm thousands of veterans, a core Trump constituency. Trump agreed they should "retain the smart ones and get rid of the bad ones." 🔗 www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/u... 3/3

- The Transportation Secretary accused Musk’s team of trying to lay off air traffic controllers. Musk called it a "lie" and demanded names. Duffy shot back that there were no names—because he had stopped the firings. 2/

Chaos erupts b/t Trump's cabinet and Musk. New reporting from the NY Times: - Rubio, furious over Musk’s cuts to his agency, fired back after Musk mocked him: “You have fired nobody.” Rubio countered that over 1,500 State Department officials had taken early retirements, accusing Musk of lying. 1/

Dear Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Thom Tillis, and the entire Senate GOP, all of whom obeyed the wanna-be king and voted yes on RFK Jr.: Thanks for nothing. Relitigating settled science won't save money. But it will almost certainly cost lives. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Trump thinks we have transgender mice because he doesn't understand what transgenic means. Hegseth thinks we have gay aircraft because a pilot named his plane after his mother whose surname was Gay. Musk thinks he saved us money on contracts cancelled when George W. Bush was president. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Imagine handing your car keys to an insane person whose driver's license was revoked for shitty driving, putting your family and all your valuables in the car, and telling him to drive near a cliff. That's where America is now, with trump in the driver's seat. Dumb choice, America.

There are hundreds of actions on International Women's Day, 3/08/25. Find one near you on their website.👇

We are 10 years into the Trump era, we watched a speech in which Trump castigated Dems as 'radical left lunatics' & used a racist jibe against a Dem senator, & Democratic Congressman Jim Himes voted to censure Al Green because of the importance of 'decorum' & 'civility. Really? Really?? SHEESH.

Tusk did not announce a Polish nuclear weapons program, but he didn't rule it out either. Tusk seems to be opening a national debate in Poland on acquiring nuclear weapons. Aldo suggested he might be in favor. Google Translate caveats apply. wiadomosci.wp.pl/co-z-bronia-...

UPDATE: An unvaccinated New Mexico man infected with measles has died. The man died without seeking medical care, and the official cause of death is under investigation. The deceased man was a resident of Lea County, New Mexico, where all 10 of the state’s confirmed measles cases have been…

Rep. Raskin: “Stung by his accelerating losses in court—now more than 40 and counting—the President’s response is to exact revenge against the people he blames for his predicament—the lawyers and litigants who have stopped him. This is dangerous as hell.”

“Purge of journalists” underway at Voice of America, I’m told. Ukrainian correspondent Ostap Yarysh already impacted.

“Ukraine is not on the verge of collapse, and it is Russia, not Ukraine, that is losing the attritional war,” write Phillips Payson O’Brien and Eliot A. Cohen. That “makes the Trump administration’s decisions particularly shortsighted and tragic”: theatln.tc/FOIXEMOC

Measles outbreak in the U.S. continues to grow: - 39 new cases in Texas (198 total) - 20 new cases in New Mexico (30 total)

Yes Jasmine!! 👏

So, the billionaire-appointed centimillionaire in charge of our Treasury wants all those “price of eggs” voters to know that it’s no big deal that everything is more expensive now because paying less for shit isn’t actually the “American Dream.” Is MAGA really that fucking dumb?

Today in Rhode Island, a federal judge told Trump to stop impounding funds allocated by Congress. It’s about more than just the money; it’s about making sure the president doesn’t make a grab for powers that belong to Congress under the Constitution. joycevance.substack.com/p/courts-to-...
