The parents of these students are fighting for our freedoms abroad, yet those same freedoms are being eroded in their children's schools at home. action.everylibrary.org/dodschools via @everylibrary.bsky.social

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

Last week, Michelle King, acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration, reassured the public about the presence of two of Elon Musk’s staffers at the agency, which holds sensitive data on 70 million Americans, including medical records and bank account numbers.

Republicans will soon bring forward a “reconciliation” bill, that encapsulates the value system of greed and their obedience to oligarchy. It is the economic essence of Trumpism. It will make the rich richer & the poor poorer. It must be defeated. And we can defeat it.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

"Elon Musk is stealing from the entire American public, stealing our data. Stealing the services that we all rely on. They're going to use everything they supposedly save to justify massive tax cuts for themselves." - @fedworkersunited.bsky.social #SaveOurServices

About 50 years ago, I was reading political thrillers, including several by Fletcher Knebel. His 1966 novel, NIGHT OF CAMP DAVID, centers on a U.S. president who has gone insane. Signs of insanity include: desire for (a) an alliance with the USSR, and (b) annexation of Canada.

"[Musk] is trying to gut everything good in America for his own private profit. This is the culmination of what oligarchy is all about...the fusion and the capture of the billionaire class of our democracy." - @aoc.bsky.social with @fedworkersunited.bsky.social today #SaveOurServices

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is working to reverse the “accidental” firing of several employees responding to an avian influenza outbreak. While the CDC says the public risk is low, the crisis is hitting the agriculture sector hard, driving egg prices to record highs.

It’s nice that the Target founder’s heirs oppose canceling DEI & sidelining Black-owned products, but they don’t run the company—and Target has made its stance clear. @Target.com: There’s nothing you sell that I can’t find elsewhere. I don’t shop where I’m not welcome. You’ve already been replaced.

It really is this simple.

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

A top Social Security Administration official resigned after clashing with Musk staffers over access to sensitive personal records. They sought entry into an internal system containing Americans’ private data. Thank you, Michelle, for resisting—and for your 30 years of service.

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow it to fire the head of the Office of Special Counsel, which oversees government whistleblower protections and enforces certain ethics laws.

Richest man in the world muses about Jailing reporters, nothing to see here

Myrtle Beach, SC showing up!!! Thank you!! #CourageIsContagious #FiftyFiftyOne

This is what our Transportation Secretary was doing yesterday as planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. I cannot remember a more dangerous time to fly and yet this reality TV actor-turned-Cabinet Secretary is busy watching cars drive laps at the Daytona 500.

Imagine you have over $400 billion and you spend your time working to deny hungry children around the world meals to avoid starvation.

Goodnight from me, too.

My newest political #cartoon concerns Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the dangerous, abusive, brain-damaged psychopath who as Secretary of Health and Human Services will now be an even more prolific #disease vector than he was before. #RFKJr #RichardScarry #Busytown #LowlyWorm #art #memes #politicalart

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

If you’re not confirmed by the Senate then you have no business meddling in the lives of MILLIONS of Americans We are suing DOGE for violating the constitution & illegally seizing power I’ll discuss tonight @ 8PM ET on @insidewithpsaki.msnbc.com 👇 statedemocracydefenders.org/fund/new-law...

The time to BEWARE, has passed…👇 Hasn’t it?! Unfortunately. For. Everyone.

We just want to say that we are in awe of all of you. You are the ones history will remember—a resistance rising against tyranny. From the moment Trump took office, laws have been broken left and right. We shouted from the rooftops, and it took relentless effort just to have our voices heard.

FEMA firings are set to increase tonight, even after Trump approved FEMA funding for Kentucky. He calls FEMA worthless but then utilizes it?

BLUE boosters and influencers to follow 😀😍💙🌈💚🌊🌎🌹 @fredbluevoter.bsky.social @rubicon1313.bsky.social   @simonjester007.bsky.social   @simplyskye.bsky.social   @sinfulskin2.bsky.social   @snarky-op.bsky.social   @softtail65.bsky.social   @stronger3gether.bsky.social  @therougerogue.bsky.social

While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent. SAY NO TO OLIGARCHY.

Wonder if Elon could survive a week on the salary we make. While he burns through $8 million a day, the working class struggles—yet he paints us as the enemy.
