The only entity from the campaign promising to privatize public services was Project 2025 and Trump said he wasn't affiliated with it. You cannot claim a mandate to do something you lied saying that you wouldn't do it

It's clear at this point that the Musk/Trump agenda is to tear down democracy, diversity, and the rule of law. Don't call yourself an American patriot if you're supporting these tyrants.

This means that the inverse is true. Musk is making it impossible for the National Labor Relations Board to do its job of protecting business owners. If people think they can't be heard any other way, they'll resort to violence. Do you want Luigis? Because this is how you get Luigis.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

Just because it doesn’t feel like we’re in the middle of a constitutional crisis doesn’t mean we aren’t there. Another must-read from @joycewhitevance.bsky.social. ⬇️

You cannot determine whether you saved or cost money based solely on one side of the ledger. Example: I saved my household $2K by not paying the mortgage.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...

Good for them!

This is what oligarchy looks like.

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States. If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does. Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

My youngest on a video game: "Die, pig! Die!" I ran over quick, suspecting it was GTA and wondering how her dad was sitting right there, letting her play what we agreed she was too young for. 🤬🤬🤬 It was Minecraft. And a literal pig. 😆😆😆

Happy Presidents Day! A reminder that despite his insistence on his own popularity, the only incoming president less popular than Trump is at this point in his presidency was Trump himself, in a first term that political scientists consider the least “great” ever. Gift link:

For any Republicans out there-- don't you see what's happening? Your elected officials, drunk with power, are quietly and quickly getting filthy rich. And in exchange, they're cutting your Medicaid, cutting your education funding, cutting SNAP benefits, cutting medical research.

If you're asking who the person is that's gonna stand up and enact change, protect communities, and resist fascism, and when they're gonna be here... Honey, that person is you. That when is today.

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

Good morning. If you enjoy visiting our National Parks I recommend you do so now because what's going to be left of them when this administration is done with them won't be worth visiting.

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

And let me put an even sharper point on this: Oppressed people have lived OFTEN with the TOTALITY of formal information coming directly from their oppressors. And they have STILL fought for liberation, again and again and again.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Stand with science. Always.

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it. Strong power move for Team Cancer.

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)

Everything Republicans want to do costs more. That's the joke of their whole scam. They've turned "cutting government" code for "gratuitously punishing 'them' no matter how much it costs."

👀 Per A.P. *Federal health agencies have restored several webpages and datasets, following a judge’s order to bring back public access to information that had been removed to comply with a presidential executive order.* apnews.com/article/cdc-...

Sunday thoughts. ☕️

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic. globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

this is the sort of thing you post when you’re ramping up to defying lawful court orders

Fuck Elon and his incel posse.

Listen to Secretary Pete. And remember, these are our funds. These are our courts. And these are our streets.

"’America's competitors will relish this self-inflicted wound,’ Owens says. ‘We urge NIH leaders to rescind this dangerous policy before its harms are felt by Americans.’” www.npr.org/sections/sho...

As we start another week, my law firm is litigating 46 voting and election cases in 19 states. A team starts trial to protect the Voting Rights Act in Alabama tomorrow! Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of democracy and democracy is on the docket.
