I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

The University of Minnesota has put out a very handy guide for finding government information as sites get scrubbed or go dark only to reappear with less information. Please use and share widely. This is an excellent resource. libguides.umn.edu/c.php?g=1449...

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜 The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization. Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

Here's your lede: With bodies still being fished out of the Potomac River, Donald Trump went on a partisan, racist and entirely unsubstantiated rant today, blaming diversity hiring and Democrats for Monday’s calamitous collision between a passenger jet and a military aircraft..

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

like sorry, idk what’s “not so bad” about an executive order that says: “trans people don’t exist to the government anymore and we’re telegraphing a full-court media blitz over an entire presidential term to convince the american people to agree”

I’m not surprised there are evil men in the world. I’m sad so many struggling people could support their evil and long after it’s clear they’ve been conned.

On the "controversy" surrounding Musk's Sieg Heil: “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” ― George Orwell, 1984

Seeing people blaming Musk’s autism for the salute. My autism diagnosis explains many things about me. And I have been overwhelmed with emotion while standing in front of a crowd. I’ve never reacted by doing anything that resembles the sieg heil. Because that’s not how this works.

It is so surreal reading articles and watching footage of what is happening in California. My life there seems like it was 1000 years ago (really just 9ish) and yet, my heartbreak is very visceral.
