President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

American presidents don’t even joke about this. Just because he’s petty doesn’t mean this isn’t dangerous.

Incredible news! The Trump administration's under 19 trans care ban has been BLOCKED in federal court via a bench temporary restraining order. The administration CANNOT withhold funds from hospitals providing trans youth care. ACLU statement here:

They did a mass firing of staff at the National Nuclear Safety Administration. These are the people who handle the safety of our nuclear stockpile. This is so catastrophically bad. Read this, and read it again.

If you’ve already started calling it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico, you should have no trouble with someone’s preferred name and pronouns.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

So ya see, the thing about Americans is that we are deeply selfish and individualistic and 90% of our population is incapable of admitting they’ve ever done anything wrong in their lives. So now half our country is demonically possessed while the other half argues about who botched the exorcism.

I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but if there’s one person I wouldn’t want to be the judge of who goes into locker rooms, it would be the man who openly boasted about walking into dressing rooms of underage girls

Trump’s orders make a lot of the work of the nonprofit world impossible. It’s a broad umbrella of organizations some of whom do good real work & some who don’t who depend on 501c3 status & funding from government & foundations affected by the fact that his agenda is essentially no justice.

We won't know what precisely will go wrong but the odds of multiple things causing a cascading failure increases as Trump destroys parts of the federal government.

My federal government colleagues are getting emails telling them to reply “resign” if they don’t agree with the new impositions from the administration. These people are fucking insane.

Let's be clear: the Medicaid portal went offline because of Donald Trump's orders. The only reason it is back on is due to outrage from the American people. Now, they are trying to lie about it. Medicaid was never taken away from Americans under President Biden.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Look, we tried to warn people. At this point, the only way out is through. Trump will precipitate a collapse and only then can we rebuild towards a better future. Our goal is to minimize the number of people we lose along the way. Build community, help others. Resilience is all we have.

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked." She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

Friends, something to keep in mind, save files of what you are seeing! They will try to gaslight us, try to erase and hide it, and don't let them. Screenshots, vids, audio. Save them and share them privately. Do not let them rewrite what is happening.
