This is 🏆 “The problem with speaking up for each other is that everyone is left without a voice.” What I heard here: the struggles of the oppressed are only taken seriously or heard through the voices of their oppressors.

Musk was never meant to save the government money. He was put in place to quash investigations into his companies and break the system making it easier for Trump to embezzle money while awarding Musk more government contracts. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news/ACu3ygI46QDC...

Part of the problem here is that for the last at least ten years we have allowed the right to assert that those who enter the U.S. illegally or overstay a visa have engaged in a CRIME! They have NOT! They have engaged in a civil violation. We do NOT send people to prison for civil violations.

Musk’s super computer, Colossus is poisoning the air in a black Memphis neighborhood. The computer “is powered, in great part, by gas turbines that emit nitrogen oxides and formaldehyde, among other air ozone-depleting pollutants.” Musk is poison. #ProudBlue#Voices4V apple.news/AilIBtBKQQ7-...

🔥🔥🔥 Rep. Horsford torches the MAGA House Republicans' spending bill and names it the "Screw America Bill." The GOP is cutting health care for 14 million people. And, they are taking food assistance away from millions of kids, seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities!

This should be bigger news: ICYMI - Project 2025’s puppet master Russell Vought just replaced Elon as head of DOGE. People still in denial & believe Trump knew nothing about Project 2025, need to explain why he just handed the keys to the whole damn thing to its architect. He is the plan. Wake up.

Repealing the FCC’s expansion of the E-Rate program is a cruel and shortsighted decision that will widen the digital divide and rob kids of the tools they need to succeed. My colleagues must join me in opposing this cruel resolution.
