I don’t know if #lindamcmahon is in cahoots with #A1 to make everyone want to buy the sauce but if so, at least for me…. well played.

It’s weird seeing Easter and Spring decorations out when we’re getting several inches of #snow ā„ļø #newhampshire #snowhampshire #springinnewhampshire

Now THAT is some bullšŸ’© - aka a conflict of interest! #livinginanoligarchy #kakistocracy #fmusk But maybe this speaks to Elon’s desperation as #tesla tanks? Regardless, it’s a major conflict of interest that’d further disenfranchise already vulnerable people. www.commondreams.org/news/us-soci...

I hear people all around me saying, ā€œThey are going to crash the economy. Surely they don’t mean to crash the economy.ā€ I beg to differ. This is curated failure. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

As a former #domesticviolence advocate who participated in #sexualassaultawarenessmonth, I can assure you this proclamation does nothing to raise awareness about #sexualviolence. This is white supremacist #propaganda that is likely to lead to more #sexualassault. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

How to spot a #scammer 101: They say things like ā€œTHIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GET RICH, RICHER THAN EVER BEFORE!!!ā€ #dontbeconnedbydon #toolatefortheusa 😭 #donthecon #conartistoftheus #tariffs #trumptariffs #greatquoteunquote #likehowthingsaresogreatnow

If HHS is cutting 10,000 positions and the Department of Education has already slashed hundreds of special education and rehabilitative jobs—who’s left to manage IDEA for 7.5 million school kids? The claims that services are just being moved elsewhere simply don’t hold up.

Why is #trump actually rolling out #tariffs? We know it’s not to help the #workingclass and bring back #manufacturing. Nah. It’s about #powerandcontrol. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

ā€œTo never get used to the unspeakable violenceā€¦ā€ ā€œTo respect strength, never power.ā€ The rest of this #arundhatiroy quote from her #thecostofliving can be read via the link below. #wordstoliveby especially now #booksky wordsfortheyear.com/2015/09/11/t...

This is a rhetorical question right? The AP does know the answer… right?! #tesla #teslatanking #elon #musk #elonruinstheusa #elonruinshisowncompany #causeandeffect

ā€œā€˜If Trump can disappear Abrego Garcia, he can disappear you.ā€™ā€ www.commondreams.org/news/el-salv...

ā€œTo never get used to the unspeakable violenceā€ -Arundhati Roy It’s daunting to start a new month during a year that will be remembered in the US for its unspeakable violence. In a country built on brutality, that says a lot. What will #April bring? I don’t know but I know we must keep #speakingout

In my best mommy voice: No, Elon. Our goal isn’t to destroy your influence. It’s to stop violence and trauma, make the world safe for our kids, and ensure everyone has their basic needs met. Destroying your influence is just the means to the end. #MomSky

This made me feel hopeless. Like our one chance! BUT true progressive movements don’t rely on one option and they defy insurmountable odds. Plus this shows Trump knows his support is waning- otherwise why not go forward with #elisestefanik and have the election? apnews.com/article/elis...

ā€œBut her emails,ā€ they said. Look, sensitive government information shouldn’t be transmitted over unauthorized channels. But Hilary’s emails were not so unique a scenario to contribute to her loss to the extent that they did. Also she didn’t cc the wrong people. abcnews.go.com/Business/wha...

This is what the #departmentofeducation actually is and actually does. open.spotify.com/episode/1O7B...

Anyone who thinks this is a good idea either doesn’t know what the #departmentofeducation actually does or is trying to advance a racist, classist, ableist agenda. This is a dark day. My heart is heavy and my brain is turmoiled. www.nhpr.org/2025-03-19/t...

Is it at all surprising that a convicted felon would ignore a judge's order?

#valeriecosta is a courageous #hero! She is facing down a ruthless man with unearned power and she is not blinking an eye. Though Musk’s treatment of her is disgusting, his words show he sees her power. If her actions were ineffective, he’d ignore her. Keep it up! šŸ™Œ šŸ’Ŗ www.npr.org/2025/03/17/n...

This is a coup! U.S. Institute for Peace called the DC police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the DC police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.

The #alienenemiesact was last enforced during WWII. We know how that turned out 😢 One of the most disheartening aspects of being human is our collective refusal to not repeat atrocities. Still I am hopeful that one day we’ll vow to never repeat and actually mean it. www.yahoo.com/news/why-ali...

#lindamcmahon doesn’t know what #idea stands for. She made the ā€œit’s my 5th day on the jobā€ excuse. But she should’ve known the IDEA acronym before day 1. Don’t let this unqualified #fascist end the #departmentofeducation. Tell congress to oppose her actions. www.thedailybeast.com/education-se...

I sold my #tesla last week because I couldn’t support Elon’s brand any longer. Apparently that makes me a criminal. Except #boycotting as political expression is #protectedfreespeech. Trump is once against distracting from his own criminality by projecting it onto others. fortune.com/2025/03/11/p...
