So, Elon is retweeting Gen Flynn, who is posting screenshots of payments to Lutheran organizations who get checks. Elon says Doge is stopping all the payments now. These are faith based initiatives. This is how Republicans do charity/social services. Thru churches. Hundreds of millions just stopped.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

What we are all experiencing is called "resilience targeting." It is a deliberate attack favored by many of todays shitlords, and is a fairly well known theory in disinfo and climate circles; it's just that everyone seems to be in denial that it's an attack. Today might be a good day to read up

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

All I can really say at this point is if everyone isn't watching how trans people have lost basic rights and protections on a scale that hasn't been seen in decades in the span of 72 hours and realizing that even if you aren't trans there's nothing stopping it from happening to you, you're a fool

Trump folds. Let’s stay vigilant because this is just the beginning and we have to make sure every move Trump makes that creates a Constitutional crisis is challenged. Hold the line!

The US Constitution does not grant the President this unilateral authority. In Illinois, we will stand against unlawful actions that would harm millions of working families, children, and seniors.

It’s really frustrating how even as so many people are working so hard for the rights of immigrants and trans people and everyone else this administration is endangering, Democratic politicians are like: “If they don’t knock it off, we will be forced to ask permission to tell them to knock it off!”

alright you wanna know how to support trans people? hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit. Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

The Eaton Fire substantially destroyed the whole area of Altadena that was solely responsible for meeting RHNA targets via upzoning, according to L.A. County Housing Element. But now the authors of same want to roll it all back. They were never sincere about this.

I know this sounds weak, I know it. But kindness is one of the few things we carry that can make a difference for each other. We can’t undo all this hate, but we can still make life a little easier for others.
