Dolly Parton is also mega rich but instead of buying Twitter or buying all the politicians, she put 150 million books into the hands of children. Be like Dolly. 📚 #USDemocracy

Don’t be a nice person…

Elon Musk didn't have any issue with USAID when it gave millions of dollars to his company Starlink.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

The House GOP budget plan that Trump has endorsed would cut Medicaid by about 10% and cut SNAP by about 20%. At the same time it would increase the deficit by $2.8 trillion to pay for tax cuts, mainly for the rich.

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

Normalize calling Republicans Nazis.

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

"Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage." -- @govpritzker.illinois.gov

In this impossibly hard year of 2025, I am letting myself be soft, vulnerable and generous both with others and myself. I will not let this world mold me into its current harsh shape.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Jobless numbers about to be astounding. Not creating any new jobs while cutting tons of jobs doesn't sound like it's making anything great.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

The Congressional GOP is not passive in this. They're not not acting. They're fully engaged in not only making this possible, but doing it--they are rubber stamping Cabinet appointees whose entire stated purpose is destroying the government, and deliberately letting the Executive Branch run wild.

As Elon Musk and DOGE are ransacking our country There’s one thing we are-perhaps-finally learning to appreciate: The simple, basic competence of government employees has quietly made our lives run exceedingly smoothly, yet we’ve always taken them for granted And THAT is its own form of heroism

I can certainly relate to this

1. Meta removed a Facebook ads criticizing Elon Musk's efforts to seize Americans' private information through DOGE. A notice from Meta said the ads violated its rules on "Unacceptable Business Practices."

An important point to keep in mind.

We agree.

Well that’s interesting www.reuters.com/world/us/fda...

Visit www.saveourhealthcare.org - Share your ACA story! Here's mine: My mother had cancer. No one would insure her. Mom hid her illness knowing it would likely bankrupt us. By the time she turned 65 and was eligible for Medicare, it was too late. The cancer was now untreatable. @laurapackard.com

“Move fast and break things” may work for a tech startup, but it is no way to run our government. It will take decades for America to recover from this mindless mess.

this is just the tip of the iceberg, lots of non-profits are making the same choices. there's no trans resources on RAINN's site anymore, for instance

It’s the reality TV show/Instagram cabinet, featuring the Transportation Secretary heading to a car race in FL while Kentucky was a disaster site with at least 9 people dead.
