38% of Medicaid recipients are 18-years-old or younger. As young people we have an obligation to stand up to Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s attacks on Medicaid not just because it’s the right thing to do but because our lives literally depend on it.

Musk took over the US government with graft and is using it—in combination with his space launch firm—to exploit an allied country that’s suffering under Russian invasion for its mineral rights. The scheme is so imperiously evil I feel like audiences wouldn’t find it believable in a Bond villain.

Infuriating! 😡 Don’t Cut My Medicaid! The majority of my son’s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! 🤬 And we’re not alone!

I appreciate @sanders.senate.gov and his team for many reasons but today I appreciate them for shining a light on the stories of working class Americans and the effects of economic stress. Economic inequality is a public health issue. #MOMsky

Wait. It gets worse: "The new document states that the revenues will be directed to a fund in which the United States holds 100 percent financial interest, and that Ukraine should contribute to the fund until it reaches $500 billion....The US has allocated $119 billion for aid to Ukraine."

He’s on to something here. There’s power in numbers. A video featuring one person railing against the administration isn’t nearly as impactful as hundreds of videos of groups of people unified in the message. Get together with your friends and make one. Let’s get them trending. #UnityAgainstFascism

More corruption. The number of ways Elon Musk will use his government position to enrich himself and his companies may—and I say this advisively—outstrip the number of ways we saw this from Donald Trump by an order of magnitude like 5x or 10x. This is the most corrupt government in American history.

Guarding a concentration camp isn't the kind of thing most people want to sign up for. Along with a racist effort to purge officers who aren’t white, military recruiting is going to tank and the ensuing national security crisis will be entirely self-inflicted www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

You are right. But it's 2025. Talking about it as if it will happen is how politics works. It also forces right wing media to talk about it and if there is enough Dem proposed legislation, Trump and Elon have to respond to the Dems rather than vice versa

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Did you know that 72 MILLION Americans rely on Medicaid for healthcare? The Trump Administration and MAGA Republicans in Congress want to take it away to give tax breaks to billionaires. Don't let them take away our healthcare. Let them know you didn’t vote for this shit.
