This is what amounts to an ILLEGAL & indiscriminate funding cut for research centers everywhere. It will mean shuttering labs across the country, layoffs in red & blue states, and derailing lifesaving research on everything from cancer to opioid addiction. We all need to speak out to save lives.

As governor of Illinois, I’ve made it my mission to make our state the best to call home including for our LGBTQ+ community. No matter who you are or who you love, everyone deserves dignity and equality. Hate has no home here.

We might have a few less seats in Congress but we’re not going to be the minority. We’re going to be the opposition. Thanks @leximcmenamin.bsky.social & @teenvogue.com for covering. www.teenvogue.com/story/maxwel...

I need the media to do better. Stop normalizing the hostile #takeover of our government as #DOGE. This is not a legitimate government entity. It’s a band of billionaire pirates with the goal of consolidating wealth among the richest in this country and robbing the underserved. #WakeUp #POTUS #Musk

That guy should be careful around Congresswoman Waters. Remember when she beat up Michael Tracey so badly he had to be life-flighted to a level 1 trauma center? 😑 www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8YknRe9/

A long shot but does anyone in Indiana know of a human rights or civil rights attorney? (Or of one of they're not in IN themselves?) A friend of a friend is getting fucked over by the HR at their job and they could really use some help.

We’ve heard plenty about what Trump, Musk and their marauding henchmen want to destroy. But have you heard anything about what they want to build or in any way make lives better?

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥 Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

Members of Congress are being blocked from entering the Dept. of Education by this guy? Wearing a tan shirt and a child’s bandaid on his neck, not wearing a uniform. He has zero authority to block Congress members! #Voices4Victory

It was always apparent but now it's increasingly undeniable that all these 20-something DOGE employees were chosen not in spite of inadequate vetting but because they would not pass vetting. Trump & Musk chose the people who seemed the most willing to commit illegal acts on their behalf.
