This is not normal! As if federal employees didn’t already feel threatened enough—sure, let the brown shirts have guns; that’ll certainly boost compliance.

From the Department of Education, Medicaid, the CDC, and more - Trump and Elon Musk are gutting the agencies and programs that protect Americans every single day. They are trying to cut off the lifelines that our communities rely on.

Odd how the turns have tabled… Trump reversed course and admitted that Russia did, in fact, invade Ukraine. International news sources and independent media have stepped up to keep Americans informed.

It’s time to take back control of the egg market. We can’t stop H5N1, but we can cut through the BS and strike fair deals with reputable farmers. Let’s support those who aren’t price-gouging and call out those who are. Who’s ready to crack this open?

Putin has defeated the U.S. He has a leader and administration who is doing his bidding. Our government is being undone. Our Constitution dismantled. Republicans have surrendered their power, as elected officials are made inconsequential. Accountability is being silenced. Fatalism is our path.

We have reached out to the company who was awarded this contract and they have confirmed the ceiling was $8 million—NOT billion. Here is their statement. The federal government is cooking the books.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

I suspect we’re going to be hearing more stories about failing farmers having their land bought for cheep—it’s not a coincidence. Is this why USAID was cut—to make way for billionaires?! Watch til the end and keep an eye on national parklands too. 🧵

You know it's only a matter of time till common car functions are all subscription fees. Air conditioning - $25 a month. Brakes - $9.99 a month for 100 uses, $19.99 for 1,000, $100 unlimited. $4.99 per day to remove the spikes sticking out of the driver seat so you can drive. Capitalism!

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

You vote to confirm RFK Jr., the king of anti-vax conspiracies, but then lose your mind when your state stops promoting vaccines? You can’t have it both ways. Cutting school vaccine programs hurts parents, kids, & public health. Pick a side. #VaccinesSaveLives

Thanks to the newly installed anti-vaxxer, RFK Jr. who is sadly the new Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) and other anti-vaxxers out there, we will sadly start seeing these outbreaks in multiple states with more frequency.
