We are looking more bearish pretty quickly.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

One month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes.

This is rooted in my mind. We must not other. We must not let them divide us.

Veterans deserve the best health care available. At a time when the VA is already understaffed, these layoffs will hurt veterans. Unacceptable. Trump must not cut VA health care so that he can give tax breaks to Musk and other billionaires. The VA must rescind this order.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are messing with your Medicare benefits. Democrats passed a law to finally let Medicare negotiate with Big Pharma for lower prices. Now Trump and Musk laid off the negotiators. That means higher drug costs for you. Nothing efficient about that.

Let me get this straight - now that people see what’s really going on - Elon Musk is suddenly not part of DOGE. 🤔 This is the problem with unchecked power and billionaires in charge.

I just voted NO to advance Senate Republican's pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. They want to let Elon cut $1 trillion this year alone—those cuts are coming out of SNAP, Medicaid, VA benefits, & more. Money out of YOUR pocket so BILLIONAIRES get more tax breaks.

BREAKING: Elon Musk is now trying to buy Wisconsin’s state Supreme Court majority. Election is on April 1—the first statewide election of the new Trump/Musk era. Musk wants to own state-level courts to thwart any possible check on their coup. Help us fight back. secure.actblue.com/donate/wisde...

America, we are in danger. Try not to fly right now if you can avoid it.

This administration is unbelievably stupid.

Let’s be extremely clear about what is happening at USAID: The President is letting the wealthiest individual on the planet tear apart an organization that provides MEDICINE and FOOD to the poorest children on Earth.

The extreme MAGA Republican budget will close hospitals, shut down nursing homes and deprive children of healthcare. There are 215 Democrats in the House who actually want to love and cherish Medicaid, not destroy it. We only need three House Republicans to join us.

Sometimes I wonder if republican women understand that DEI means them, and before it they had few ways to succeed in life on their own.

:(

Saved this one from last time. Sorry again emotional support Canadian friends. I wish we were better at this.

Having something to do feels a little better.

Please Florida.

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

👇👇👇👇

the media who told us hillarys emails and biden's lack of press conferences were a constitutional crisis are going to sleepwalk us into the new fascism.

We used to all hold our breath hoping a shooter wasn’t a Muslim or a trans person. Now we gotta worry if the air traffic controller was Black?! Do you see how far they have moved the window?

I think this thread sums it up.

Pete Buttigieg isn’t taking Trump’s shit today.

This is what happens when there is a federal hiring freeze. The FAA should never go without being fully staffed.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

He's not blaming DEI, he's blaming women and non white people.

People have been so gaslit into believing immigration is bad by rightwing rhetoric @mrjamesob.bsky.social when those same voices know you can't have growth without it. They used these immigration lies to get into power at a huge cost to our country

As always, @aoc.bsky.social knows the assignment.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

This

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Elon Musk forced the FAA Administrator to resign because the Administrator fined Space X for multiple air safety violations. Musk said the FAA was “over-regulated.” The FAA regulates the US air space to prevent midair plane crashes.

I have so many friends considering taking this right now. They shouldn’t.

Maybe don’t fly for a bit if you can help it.

This shows that pushing back legally and politically when the would-be dictator crosses the line can succeed. His power has limits. Resistance pays off. Onward! www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...

Here we go. :(

This is a concentration camp. Another shame for our histories.

Let me say this in no uncertain terms: the President’s actions today are illegal.   Cutting off people from healthcare, childcare, and other services is cruel. The State of Illinois will fight this unlawful order with everything we have.

Let's be clear about what happened today: Donald Trump tried to cut a giant chunk of government funding — hurting preschoolers, seniors, and veterans. Trump's illegal shutdown is blocked for now — but don't forget that he tried to cut programs supporting working families.
