Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities. That means: 🚫 No gas from corporate giants 🚫 No fast food chains 🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

When this was first published, I genuinely scoffed. There was no way they would actually dismantle the NOAA. I was very wrong. www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

They really are determined to keep pretending universities are the "elite" and must be punished, while Republicans are just "regular folk" looking out for you.

"Do the Democrats need a positive message of their own? Sure, they should do that work. But right now, ... the history of patrimonial rule suggests that their most effective approach will be hammering home the message that he is corrupt." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

To be clear, there is no indication that these are Elon's people. These were employees of US Digital Service, which became DOGE.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid. So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

It's this but they're making a dystopia out of a perfectly fine society for no reason. Standing in a fully stocked grocery store going "I guess we have no choice but to kill and eat each other"

A month ago, the idea that the new German chancellor would talk about "independence from the US" would have been unbelievable

Since Trump has claimed Elon doesn’t run DOGE, we wanted to make sure you know who is running our government. This list has been updated with 15 names.

I had already forgotten this: "On the third day of the Trump administration, the Office of Personnel Management instructed agency heads to email their employees a notice asking them to report one another for violations of President Trump’s executive order."

Did any of his supporters consider, even for a moment, his history of business dealings? He's never done things with finesse.

USAID’s waiver for 'life-saving' aid got headlines. But funds still aren’t reaching the people who need them. "Even programs with waivers are still frozen, according to people in more than 40 USAID-funded groups, bc the payments system used to disburse funds to orgs has not operated for weeks." 1/2

Trump is a Russian stooge. Putin may as well written this himself. And any Republican in Congress who said they support our allies before, but are silent today over this, are worthless.

A top Social Security Administration official resigned after clashing with Musk staffers over access to sensitive personal records. They sought entry into an internal system containing Americans’ private data. Thank you, Michelle, for resisting—and for your 30 years of service.

While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent. SAY NO TO OLIGARCHY.
