I wish I had a much bigger social media presence because this is my neighborhood school. It primarily serves black, English learners and children with disabilities. They want to close it and ship neighborhood kids miles away and aren’t providing equitable bus service. www.abc15.com/news/region-...

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

This is like saying parents saved money by not feeding their kids as much and skipping doctors’ appointments. People were actually using the services he’s killed off, among them veterans.

With this EO, Trump is explicitly seizing control of agencies meant to operate free from presidential interference, such as the FCC, FTC, FEC and financial regulators. Now any new regulations must go through the White House. Monumental change here. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

If you wonder how countries slip into dictatorship, it’s like this. Amidst another flurry of news, an official adds at the end that Trump has signed an Executive Order saying that “only the President or Attorney General can speak for the US…as to what the law is.” What?! 👀

Are we going to make it out of this? Is there a time several years from now where congressional republicans will be banished and shamed and we are putting democracy back together? Do I have anything to hope for?

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Anyway, every day of Trump's presidency so far would be career-ending levels of scandal for every other President

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau literally exists to protect consumers from predatory financial institutions. It's returned over $21 billion to 205 million consumers. The sole result of this move is that Americans will have no recourse when they get screwed over by a bank. Good work Elon 👍

This morning I had a business meeting with someone who didn’t know if they were going to have a job by the end of the day because they work in a gov funded position. Haven’t been able to shake this horrible heaviness.

So Trump hurt America's relationship with Canada and made markets wobble all to "get" Canada to do things Canada had announced back in December in coordination with the Biden administration, do I have that right?

You may not like it, but Leah's right. There's a reason the Prodigal Son is a parable in almost every culture. when someone experiencing cognitive dissonance comes to you, you have two choices: embrace them, and win them over forever; or reject them, ensuring they never again question their beliefs.

Trump has moved to fire Democratic members of two independent federal commissions — an extraordinary break from decades of legal precedent that promises to hand Republicans control over boards that oversee swaths of U.S. workers, employers and labor unions. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

NEW: OPM — the US govt's HR department — is now being run exclusively by Big Tech lackies, mostly from Elon Musk companies. Reporting directly to the chief of staff is a kid who just graduated high school & was recently a camp counsellor before interning at Neuralink. From @telliotter.bsky.social:
