A message to Elon Musk’s staffers: Your names are known, and America will ensure you never get another job again.

My retirement payments come through the OPM. I’m worried.

Trump issued a sweeping directive to the FAA mandating the elimination of DEI programs citing compromised safety : “Keeping Americans Safe in Aviation” — and then Trump fired the head of TSA, eliminated all the members of a key aviation security advisory group.

WATCH: “I’m tired of doing this. It never changes. When are we going to hold our elected officials accountable?” Tennesseans call on @GovBillLee @tnsenategop @tnhousegop leaders to make special session about gun safety instead of scamming private school voucher dollars.

This is the goal and most of us are serfs in the new world order.

NEW: Trump orders federal health agencies to STOP communicating health advisories, weekly scientific reports, updates to websites, and to stop making social media posts. I said previously I was worried about the lack of reporting. Here it is. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Learn something new today. Two acts of resistance is to 1) not allow this onslaught to overwhelm you and drive you to shut down. 2) Keep learning and doing things that matter to you and your community. Learn a new skill for example, and use it to help your community.

They took the constitution down from the Whitehouse website. This is not normal, please don't memeify these actions. They are harrowing and they need to feel that way.

Good morning!!!🥰🥰🥰

Birthright citizenship has ALWAYS been the law of this nation, even dating back to before there was a United States. Birthright citizenship PREDATES the 14th Amendment—that was just when it was written into the Constitution to ensure there was no doubt. Trump CANNOT overturn it by executive order.

Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi, six days ago: “I abhor violence to police officers.” “I condemn any violence on a law enforcement officer in this country.”

WHICH PEOPLE, PLANET OR PIECE WAS YOUR LAST PLACE FINISH A VICTORY FOR, JILL STEIN?!

TENNESSEANS VS. LEE’S VOUCHERS: “Here in our rural town, we’re not behind that — and I also don’t understand why it’s such a rush to get this passed.” Folks are seeing through @GovBillLee’s unpopular private school voucher scam as he rushes through in a special session.

This is will get worse i fear as the new authority comes in. We MUST protect the most vulnerable populations. #disability #alabama #disabledrights #ada #breakingnews apnews.com/article/alab...

It’s no secret- vouchers are coupons for kids already in private schools. www.statenews.org/section/the-...

Call your senators and ask that they support the bill sponsored by Ed Markey to delay the tiktok ban! #news #senate #tiktokban

Ah! ça ira, ça ira, ça ira, Les aristocrates à la lanterne! Ah! ça ira, ça ira, ça ira, Les aristocrates on les pendra!

I’m gonna post this everyday!

Project 2025 leader Russ Vought (Trump’s OMB Director pick) leads the Center for Renewing America, which says that it’s lawful for POTUS to “assemble his Executive Branch…via recess appointments” AND to unilaterally adjourn both Houses of Congress” if they disagree on whether & when to adjourn. 1/

I can’t tell you how important it is to start paying attention to local races.

House Republicans are blocking a proposal that would narrow a disputed new provision in a surveillance law, potentially handing President-elect Trump broader power to force American service providers to help the government spy.

BREAKING: Trumps Administration has plans to dismantle many of the protections and benefits of NLRB (National Labor Relations Board). I am attaching an article detailing some, but not all of their plans for labor rights. onlabor.org/can-trump-fi...

If your plans for resistance and coalition building do not include a plan to promote and fight with disabled people, you are doomed before you begin. #disability #disabilityrightsarehumanrights #disabledpeoplematter

Republicans & Trump are planning to gut Medicaid, SNAP, & put an additional 10%-20% sales tax on nearly everything you buy so they can give MORE tax breaks to billionaires. Republican economics: Tax breaks for the rich, paid for by working Americans. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Today in Oversight: Republicans are advancing a bill that would fire all government workers - including Veterans - from offices related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, banning them from being reassigned. How does firing qualified workers and Veterans improve efficiency?

Rep. Jasmin Crockett is always 🔥

To all those who say our votes don't matter that much, I would like to direct your attention to the 45th congressional district in California. Where the race is separated by only 100 votes!!! #votingmatters #nevergiveup

Vaccines save lives no matter what RFK Jr says. I trust medical experts, not quack politicians who promote pseudoscience. Putting him in charge of HHS is going to cost lives. This is a nightmare.

You call it an echo chamber cause you’re alone screaming into a void for attention. I call it a community cause it’s full of my friends whose company I enjoy.

The consequences of draconian laws coupled with abject apathy. Turns out they dont care about babies. www.alreporter.com/2024/11/15/o...

If his promised deportations go ahead, America as we know it will change forever. 🇺🇸 @crof.bsky.social writes.

Every year, over 200,000 women and girls die from pregnancy-related complications in Africa. Most of these deaths are preventable with access to high-quality maternal health services. Read our Q&A on "Obstetric Violence" in Africa:

If you didnt care before you will more than ever about disability rights&protections. Disability is the one minority group that most of us will join at some point in our lives, if we weren't born into it. With incompetent pseudoscience leaders you can bet that more ppl than ever will join the group.

Do yourself a favor and read this from Fox News contributor Ben Domenech. I’d like to report a murder

The Onion out here doing the most Onion thing they can 🤣🤣 www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
