Dear Republicans, Leave LGBTQ people the hell alone, you perverted ghouls. Sincerely, Well-Adjusted Human Beings

FACT SHEET: Trump Administration, DOGE punish agencies investigating Elon Musk’s companies. Thank you @raskin.house.gov

It’s extra important for your GOP senator to hear from you right now if you’re in one of these states. Call your senators and tell them to vote NO on Kash Patel’s nomination for FBI director: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Or send an email to your senators: act.indivisible.org/sign/demand-...

Each day this thread becomes more important and relevant. Dems need a unifying message, & this is it. This message will unite a vast majority of voters, & win elections in a landslide. All we need do is embrace it, and start destroying the cancer that’s destroying us. Like Robinhood would.

This piece was initially similar to @choo.bsky.social's fantastic BMJ opinion piece, but the more I wrote the more I really felt like all of this is about loss of trust in institutions, experts, and healthcare professionals. www.offcall.com/learn/opinio... www.bmj.com/content/388/...

🧵 HOW TO DESTROY ELON MUSK I keep hearing people say “Elon Musk is the richest man in the world.” He’s not, and he’s not even that rich. It’s all on paper. How much actual money does Musk have in the bank? I’m not sure, but I can guarantee one thing… it’s in the millions, NOT billions. +

Vaccine disinfo is rampant in Red States. Viruses don’t care about your political beliefs. They have existed for billions of years. Viruses thrive on replication and DNA changes for survival. If you don’t vaccinate your kids, you are directly responsible for their illnesses and deaths. Full. Stop.

Every committee in Congress should hold urgent hearings on Musk's illegal takeover of the federal government. He is causing real harm to the American people. I've been demanding hearings in the committees I sit on — the Republicans in charge need to DO THEIR JOBS.

Those bonehead Republicans managed to convince their base that trans women in sports was a huge issue—without showing a damn shred of data. They never drop facts because that would wreck their narrative. Look at these numbers… Less than 10 trans athletes out of 510,000 NCAA athletes nationwide.

The 19 richest Americans, led by Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, have almost as much wealth as the poorer half of the country. The bottom 50% of household own just 2.4% of U.S. wealth. While the richest 19 individuals alone have 2.1%.

THIS RIGHT HERE‼️

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

For a party that says we’re in the middle of a constitutional crisis, they sure don’t act like it

Let's keep this energy going. Hundreds of visits are scheduled at Senate offices across the nation. See if there’s an event happening near you to fight back against the illegal Trump-Musk power grab: www.mobilize.us/indi... Or organize and register a new visit: www.mobilize.us/indi...

Absolutely.

Americans are confused, scared and angered by President Trump’s escalating attacks on our independent, professional and dedicated civil service. That's why I convened top federal workforce experts for this emergency webinar sharing crucial information.

Hey folks, share this YouTube video w/ your friends & IN REAL LIFE. While MAGA have been busy pitting us against one another, billionaires are looking into picking EVERYONE'S pocket, including their own supporters. This is how the rich get the working class to vote against their own interests.

This was exactly my reasoning. Harris was ultra-reliant on turnout and votes, so if we did what we needed to, she would have moved if we pushed her. But now? We’re all fighting for our lives. I wish I could do more on Palestine but gotta keep our house from burning first.

This is the most corrupt bargain we've ever seen in American history: Elon Musk gave millions to fund Trump's campaign, and now Trump has given him the keys to our government. We are fighting this in Congress, in the courts, and in the streets. We will not back down.

Deeply appreciate the congressman doing this, but at some point we’re going to need our elected officials to refuse to take no for an answer. Make them arrest you if need be. Force the issue.

Has anyone actually asked @schumer.senate.gov why he's wasting all of our time on a bill that he does not need, and not enforcing the laws we have?

"We have a responsibility as a party to block absolutely everything when they are putting a match to the federal government." — @aoc.bsky.social on IG live just now

@vanhollen.senate.gov NOW. Nothing moves forward until the illegal power grabs stop and Elon is ejected

Does Chuck Schumer know he is the highest ranking democrat in the senate?

Thanks to the 50,000 people who skipped the first hour of the Grammys to join us tonight! I hope our toolkit helps with in-person actions around the country this week, but this is mostly up to you. Please send pics/video of your visits so we can help elevate! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Russell Vought would have immense power to enforce Trump’s extremist agenda if he's confirmed as OMB director. Vought has made it clear he will not hesitate to violate laws and norms in service of MAGA. app.sosha.ai/s/thwW1NvU

#30DayMapChallenge - day 17 - collaborative map Not slacking, just been busy but determined to do all 30 days! I used @andrew.heiss.phd's guide to making road trip maps and @karaman.is's script on plotting journeys (used back on day 5 too!) to plot a recent 24 hour trip to Paris. #rstats #dataviz

Imagine saying this about an agency that has helped millions of people around the world avoid malaria, obtain clean water, and gain access to food & health care. Especially when you’re the world’s richest man & your net worth is something like 20 times this agency’s annual budget. What a foul soul.

100%. The thing about knocking out all the checks and balances is you’re not entitled to the benefit of the doubt

This needs to be every last damn Democrat in office! FULL STOP!

Just two weeks ago, everyone was screeching about China stealing all of our data through TikTok, but now Elon steals it and the MAGA crisis actors are OK with it? That's some fucking bullshit.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

The @indivisible.org and @workingfamilies.org mass call tonight MAXED OUT after 20,000 attendees on Zoom. Please join us watching the livestream on YouTube

Any Greensboro folks on here want to join?

As a Marylander I’m just asking myself what the hell was the point of voting for Angela Alsobrooks if she was just going to do Trumps bidding and confirm his sycophants.

My new senator Angela Alsobrooks has voted Yes on several Trump nominations. If you're in Maryland she's your senator, too, so you might want to give her a call and let her know how you're feeling about her job performance thusfar: 202-224-4524

“Human progress isn’t measured by industry. It’s measured by the value you place on a life. An unimportant life. A life without privilege.” A fitting quote for our time. From S10E3, Thin Ice, of Doctor Who

Trump will destroy America just like Musk destroyed Twitter.
