Let’s see how things are progressing…

@seiu503.bsky.social ‘sup? Going to a rally 6/14, see you there?

In just 130 days, Elon... -Secured even more contracts -Derailed at least 40 fed investigations of his corporations -Gutted agencies that regulate his business -Installed loyalists throughout the government Elon has fallen out with Trump, but he got exactly what he wanted.

No sense of the absurd

I can't believe any Democrat would THINK of allying with Elon Musk. I won't take money from the guy who does a Hitler salute. It's really that simple.

Elsham Tech Park Ltd's new UK datacentre, hyped as an AI marvel, is set to spew 850,000 tonnes of CO2 yearly—five times Birmingham airport’s filth. Tech giants feast while the planet chokes on their digital gluttony. #3E

Trump's tariffs, tax cuts, and austerity budget are a windfall for the super-rich at the expense of the poor. This is what class warfare looks like. [Via @4taxfairness.bsky.social‬]

Comparing 2 evils ICE vs Gestapo *Power to arrest w/o warrant *Power to imprison w/o trial *Power to deport *No Habeus Corpus *No Gov't oversight *Concentration camps I don't see any difference

It wouldn’t be hard to protect Medicaid and funding to rural hospitals and still reduce our nation’s ballooning debt and deficit. The Rs would just have to make the wealthy and corporations pay slightly more in taxes. (PS Rs are never serious about the debt and deficit when they are in power).

Federal agents storm Minneapolis’ Latino hub with tanks and tactical gear, claiming a drug bust, not immigration. Yet, the show of force screams intimidation. Homeland Security, FBI, why the armored circus for no arrests? Overkill much, or just terror as policy? #3E

Selling off national parks to private corporations is theft — of land, ecosystems, and public trust. Once they’re sold, they’re stripped, drilled, mined, and wrecked. And most of that damage can’t be undone.

The same people who yelled DEI means Didn’t Earn It just hired a FEMA Director who did not know the US has a hurricane season…I need to laugh to keep myself from crying. Another merit based hire.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.  This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Trump's hypocrisy exposed...

Sesame Street can't stop taking W's lately

Supporting living wages is common sense. Someone working full time should be able to afford housing, groceries, and bills with their paycheck alone. That’s not controversial or radical, arguing against it is.

For Handmaid’s Tale fans.

My Iris are finally blooming. #bloomscrolling

None. Absolutely none of the employers of the ICE victims removed from their place of employment are being prosecuted by the DOJ?

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 78 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (& today a video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

This is the same shit that’s happening in Huntington Beach, and the goal is to make being a member of the LGBTQ+ community illegal. We need to fight against it wherever it pops up.

In an era where truth is treated as treason, NPR dons its armour and goes to war against Trump's executive order. A lawsuit not just for funding, but for the freedom of the press. A battle waged not in ink, but in principles. The pen mightier than the sword, indeed. #3E

Pity he wasn't jailed. Will he ever be? Let's keep our fingers crossed.

What's in the Trump/GOP big, beautiful bill? -Tax cuts skewed to the rich -Medicaid & SNAP cuts -Ends IRS Direct File -New powers for Trump over the courts -Blocks state/local regulation against AI, including rent-gouging software like RealPage It's a big, ugly nightmare.

Hungary's Orbán struts as a "Christian conservative Disneyland" while descending press freedom rankings and leading the EU in corruption. The US nods, seemingly eager to import this brand of illiberalism. Democracy, meet your funhouse mirror. #3E

Repost if you agree

Hiding their faces, hiding their names by using pens to hold their pocket flaps up, hiding their names. ICE agents have “consciousness of guilt,” know they are committing crimes. They need to be unmasked, named, and charged #UnmaskICE

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.
