đź’™ Pedro Pascal, using his voice to spread support for our Trans Community which is under attack.

Reminder: An oligarch is taking a chainsaw to the federal government, firing thousands of civil servants every day, shutting down agencies, blocking funds for cancer research, stealing your medicaid and social security... ...because a few hundred billionaires don't want to pay their share in taxes.

Project 2025 was just the stuff they were willing to put into print.

Here's a great @faithfulamerica.bsky.social website with steps you can take to protect trans kids, including a letter template to send to school board members. I just sent my letter to Fayette County Public Schools school board in #Lexington #Kentucky! act.faithfulamerica.org/signup/prote...

I’ve asked it before and I’ll ask it again: where oh, where are all of those strict constitutionalists demanding that the executive branch’s power and reach is limited in their very, very very limited government view?

This applies on so many levels, especially the climate crisis.

Kentucky resident here: I second this!

Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

The ELCA had the chance to join a multifaith lawsuit defending congregations’ 1st Amendment rights agnst the Trump administration. In an act of capitulation, they caved with the flimsy excuse of having no legal standing. This is what’s known as “obeying in advance.” www.patheos.com/blogs/ecopre...

It's not a demolition site it's a mass grave. It's not a demolition site it's a crime scene. It's not a demolition site its a homeland. It's not a demolition site it's Palestine. It's not a demolition site it's a genocide.

“If you think fertilized eggs are people but parents who've crossed oceans with their kids aren't, stop pretending your concerns are religious.”

Explain it to us like we're in Bible study.

Attorney General Pam Bondi disbanded an FBI task force investigating foreign influence operations, including those targeting U.S. elections. Additionally, she restricted enforcement actions against individuals who fail to disclose lobbying on behalf of foreign governments.

This image is so good!

YES PLEASE! Like right now!

Thanks to @faithandleadership.bsky.social for this interview about my new book, Preaching & Social Issues, the research my team & I have been conducting on sermons in this divisive time, and the Gentle, Invitational & Robust approaches to prophetic preaching! faithandleadership.com/leah-schade-...

A thing I wish I could teach people is that the vast majority of very rich people are deeply stupid. They did not get where they are because of ingenuity or talent. They got there because of compound interest on hereditary wealth and being tax cheats.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

In 3 days, the number of measles cases in a highly unvaccinated area of Texas has doubled. There are now 48 cases, all of whom are unvaccinated, and 13 of whom have been hospitalized so far, for a hospitalization rate of 27%. This is huge figure in epidemiology. This outbreak will keep spreading.

Say this louder for the MAGA in the back!

We need somone out in front to calling out the lies. I like Pete.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

The psychos are in charge. I just thought I'd mention it to save you the stress of trying to impose logic on an illogical system.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

This is just one of thousands of harrowing stories told about the U.S. Government abandoning Americans abroad in the USAID shutdown. This is Benghazi times a million. 1/
