Billionaires like Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg will profit from Trump’s chaos. The FDA, FAA, NLRB and CFPB were mainly cut—not for efficiency, but likely because they were regulating Trump's billionaire buddies.

When eggs cost half a day's wages but CEOs rake in millions, the only real solution is worker power.

WHAT?!?! Elon Musk is LYING TO ME??? I am SHOCKED, I tell you.

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.

BREAKING: White House confirms it has lost at least 12 cases, at least temporarily, since becoming president. Acting illegally and losing cases is a hallmark of Trump.

'tis the season, y'all!

This is so important. This affects us all. I'm not a dem, but I know that until we have universal ranked choice voting, we need them to step up. sign.moveon.org/petitions/te...

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

❤️

Apparently this federalism thing has some merit! @tinakotek.bsky.social

Not sure my efforts will help much, since you'd have to pay me to sit and watch a superbowl, but whatever benefit this might bring, I am IN!!!

True.

Elon, et al. are out to privatize everything—as much as possible. Why do you think that is? As you consider your answer remember: Government finance prioritizes accountability & transparency, while private-sector finance focuses on profitability & shareholder value. Who’s in this administration?

Trump's authoritarian power grabs in his first two weeks have already shown he will continue to violate the constitution and federal law, perhaps at a pace quicker than his first term. And the cowardly Republicans in Congress have been pathetically silent. #ResistTrump

@freelancersunion.bsky.social !

To any country concerned about America caving to fascism, You can help us. Start with 50% tariffs on all Tesla products. Ps: I would add Trump products, but I assume nobody in your country would buy shitty Trump products.

If you are a leader who previously boasted about your pro-democracy positions, you have a greater obligation. If you feel obliged to obey Trump, spare us your justifications. Just tell us you are too scared to fight. If you feel the need to bow down, let someone with more courage take your spot.

Whole I feel for the plyers who have to represent us right now, and the fans who just wanted to enjoy a game, I understand this.

@TheDemocrats this really is a 90 million voter question.

LOVE my Oregon leaders!!!

@realgulfofmexico.bsky.social THANK YOU!! You helped me learn to SCUBA dive when I was a kid, and now you're helping me survive this current chaos. If you don't know him already, you should meet @number10cat.bsky.social

Which ... seriously, what does this say about us?

This isn't an exaggeration. Before Cockpit Resource Management became a thing, captains who acted like, and were deferentially treated like macho gods of the skies did things like let their planes run out of fuel or fly straight into the ground, and the other officers were too scared to stop them.

We voters have to make sure this stuff stops here. Four years is plenty of time to learn, educate, and organize.

Keep in touch with your congresspeople regularly so you're sure they know what you will not accept!
