We See Who Bows & Who Stands! That this was even allowed to get this far is an egregious failure of our elected officials. Make no mistake: Trump is not a king, but he is an aspiring dictator. And come election time, the people will remember who stood up to him—and who bowed. FiftyFifty.one

Big Oil launched an outrageous lawsuit against @greenpeaceusa.bsky.social for $300 million. It’s a brazen attack by a handful of wealthy fossil fuel executives on our rights to speak out to protect our communities, wildlife and climate. #ImWithGreenpeace Join us in standing up to #BigOilBullies.

The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.

It’s a coup. It’s a strategic alliance with Putin. It’s the end of the post-war international order. It’s the triumph of lies over truth and in Putin’s case, evil over good. We are through the looking glass & we all now have to decide who we are & what we stand for

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

One of these days we're gonna have to reckon with the fact that "money that I spend which does not directly benefit me is a waste" is a popular sentiment. I think we should state plainly that this is selfish on its face. And stupid when you have awareness which extends beyond your nose.
