Bureaucracy is the snare around the throat of the working class. Trapping us and choking us, preventing us from accessing the resources we have a right to. What Trump is doing isn’t getting rid of the snare, he’s setting the fields on fire and hoarding our wheat in his barn. Leaving us nothing

Not many people knew what OMB did before this week, but let us assure you: Russell Vought is too dangerous and extreme to lead it. A lead architect of Project 2025 has no business leading the OMB. Senator Kim is voting no.

"No Democrat should be voting to advance Trump's nominees while all of this stuff is going on," AOC said. “There has to be a political price to pay and we have a responsibility as a party to block everything that is happening while they're setting a literal mash to the federal government."

REP. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social says billionaires like Elon Musk want Americans to blame immigrants and trans people etc. for their economic struggles when their insatiable greed is behind the Gilded Age levels of inequality 🎯 🇺🇸 💰

It was not my intention to post a majority of content surrounding politics, but I think under this administration it’s hard not to. So to distract here are pictures of my cats: Flower (tabby) & Echo (black) #cattax #catsky

Elon is not an elected official He is not a a member of Government And with Trump laws in place he’s barely even a US Citizen. He should have nothing to do with the Treasury Department He should be arrested and persecuted

Trump is and has always been a coward. Every single “policy” he comes up with, he’ll back out of as soon as he hits a bump. His supporters will say “He made a great deal with Canada and Mexico” but what deal did he make? This was his plan to fix the economy, and what did we get out of it?

Now, tonight's urgent local needs. It will probably be at least Wednesday night before I have any feel for how many hot meals [and on what days] the shelter still needs for the month. But once I do know? That will be VERY URGENT.

Outside of USAID headquarters, Senator Brian Schatz: "If you want to change an agency, introduce a bill and pass a law. You cannot wave away an agency that you don't like or that you disagree with by executive order, or by literally storming into the building and taking over the servers." BOOM!

My hot take is that I think we should let Trump do what he wants with the economy. Let the man sky rocket our prices. I want to see gas reach $8 a gallon, and I want to see $10 avacados Then we’ll see how many supporters he’ll have

I worked at an HIV Wellness clinic where we distribute condoms in LA. Last year we distributed over 10k condoms, which cost us little over k. You would need to buy half the world’s supply of condoms to get 50 mil worth of condoms.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Proud to say I’ve been writing up a storm since I got married in Oct. I took a break to focus on my wedding, but in the back of my mind I worried I wouldn’t get back into the flow, but I’m 3 1/2 short stories deep with 1 more to go before I complete my first book.

I work directly with the HIV community, and while this doesn't affect many HIV programs in the US, it is extremely damaging globally. Without PEPFAR millions of lives are in jeopardy. If after the said "90 days" Trump decides to cut the funding, he will have signed their death warrants.

Supporting indie magazines has already opened pathways for me. I now have magazines I can regularly submit to. Sure I don’t know if they’ll accept my stories but it’ll challenge me as a writer and keep me churning out new ideas. Btw check out @chmmagazine.bsky.social & @fantasymagazine.bsky.social
