Agree with this. Laws are there to keep others who disagree/dislike people from making those others miserable. Think that is the golden rule…do undo others as you would have them do to you! Trump has taken conservatives to a dark place. Cheer for ethics!

I’m a HELL NO on the GOP Bill.

While Trump & Musk DOGE cut the federal workforce and federal contracts leaving THOUSANDS of Americans UNEMPLOYED, Elon Musk & his family are flying for FREE on Air Force. MUSK is a BILLIONAIRE!! Why are OUR taxes paying for this? THIS is fraud, waste, & abuse. tribune.com.pk/story/253234...

Just saw House funding bill outline! SAY NO! Bipartisan bill or nothing! Republicans need to provide assurance that Trump spends according to existing laws! Defense has more waste/fraud/abuse than any other-no added funds until they pass an audit!! Cut Musk’s contracts!

Same message for USA-Leave X. Musk’s money and megaphone corrupting our politicians, our businesses, our govt and shouts down the truth! #resistance

TSA cannot cancel collective bargaining agreement—illegal under federal law! ✅ Federal labor law (5 U.S.C. Chapter 71) protects CBA ✅ Good faith negotiations required—TSA can’t walk away ✅ Unilateral cancellation is unfair labor practice ✅ CBA remains until renegotiated #resist & SPEAK UP

@nytimes.com “When you see important societal actors — be it university presidents, media outlets, C.E.O.s, mayors, governors — changing their behavior in order to avoid the wrath of the government, that’s a sign that we’ve crossed the line into some form of authoritarianism,” SAD🥺 #resisters

Social Security, easy fix if top earners pay their fair share m.youtube.com/watch?v=GfZu...

Try this out-Trump’s tariff ups and downs are just a way for his billionaire friends to make money. He manipulates the markets, they sell high and buy low. They have inside info on his plans to take tariffs back at the last minute. #bluecrew Another way he steals from us?

I thought American values were equality and inclusion, freedom, rule of law, innovation, hard work, democracy and self governance. Trump is trying to change those into cruelty, meanness, retaliation, might makes right. #resist #resistance #strongertogether #Democrats @5calls.org Don't let him!

More evidence of corruption that has invaded SCOTUS under Trumps watch. "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." – Lord Acton

Public office is a duty, NOT a business opportunity. 🚨 👉 Gov’t officials shouldn’t push crypto reserve while selling crypto 👉 Cutting agencies that regulate your businesses is corruption 👉 Democracy fails if leaders put profit over people 📢 Call your reps, demand ethics reforms accountable! #resist

Trump: "We have accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations accomplish in 4 years or 8 years." The economy:

#resist Would like to see congressional democrats visually show Trump’s lies. Add penny or poker chip to create a stack that shows the # of lies he tells in his speech. #democracy

Trump corruption and chaos continues. Media, lawyers, federal workers, citizens need to group together to stand against this stuff. How about a Press walk out in support of AP stand on the Gulf! #Ethicalleadership www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Stocks Post Biggest Loss of the Year on Trump’s Tariff Plans @nytimes.com Markets realize that Trump is wrong on tariffs, wrong on chainsaw Musk and government cuts. Likely cause recession as well as loss of critical services.

I will not watch the joint session speech by Trump. When given a media forum, he lies and gaslights with no pushback or fact check. Republicans abandoned truth and ethics. Call it out!📣😡

#electaclownexpectacircus. Another example of Trump’s alternate reality. Make sure you use #5calls to let Congress know you expect more resistance from them

ELECT A CLOWN-EXPECT A CIRCUS. My bumper sticker before Nov 5. Circus is what we have! Use #electaclownexpectacircus to post on rising above Trump circus. We can do better than disrespect allies, take from working people, give to billionaires and ruin governance. Cruelty is not an American Value.

Amazing that current administration doesn’t know anything about diplomacy and negotiations. Should have left MIGHT MAKES RIGHT in kindergarten! www.wsj.com/opinion/puti... #resist

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

#goodtrouble Can’t remember what he said? Or just lies about the truth? Dems and responsible conservatives need to call out the dangers Trump presents

According to Politico “Denigrating the federal bureaucracy as ‘bloated’ and ‘corrupt,’ the seven-page memo called for agencies to be drastically cut” A CEO who said that about her corporation would probably be reprimanded by the BOD. Who is there to hold Trump/Musk accountable?

Servant Leadership – Leaders prioritize the needs of the people they serve rather than personal gain. Make sure Congress knows the 'leadership' of Musk and Trump is all about personal gain newrepublic.com/post/192001/... www.cnn.com/2025/02/26/w... Share and repost videos!😱

Thought of the day…if you LIKE IT give it 💙and plz RP😘😘

Warren: I think this is one of those things where they kind of build their alternative reality, and Elon spends all of his time with people who don't contradict him. You know, Elon, there's a whole real world out here, and the real world has some serious questions about what you're up to.

"The teams and contractors that would be deployed to fight an Ebola outbreak have been dismantled..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Canceling my wapo. February 28 boycott needs to cover Facebook, other Meta apps, all billionaire platforms. Wapo, Amazon Prime watches. Bowing to lawless dismantling of free press, fed govt, free speech, free elections. I am really worried that they got to Bezos. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/b...

When your reps tell news media the concerns about Musk/Trump are just coming from democrats, remind them they represent you too-and enlist conservatives who also support sites.psu.edu/andreodorico...

Those of us for rule of law are being branded as left wing radicals. The purge of fed workers is scary, similarities in the purge of Jews from govt and positions of power during Hitler. If about efficiency why isn’t it being done legally?

Pritzker: "We're talking about the death of a constitutional republic. That's what happened in Germany in 1933, 1934. And we're seeing today that we've got an administration in Washington that's ignoring court orders."

www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... A glimmer of hope! A tiny group of republican lawmakers criticize cruel and lawless purge DOGE and Trump enacting on workers delivering govt services. Flag this and ask your reps to follow suit. Show u care!

Analysis by Aaron Blake: As their Republican colleagues avoid criticizing Trump like the plague, a handful have begun using some pretty strong words.

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Where is adult HR as Musk/DOGE use mass emails/X to manage federal workforce. Digital messaging (emails, X posts) is ineffective. Oversight of Trump Admin needed to adopt sound HRM practices-personalized communication, leadership engagement, employee well-being, and strategic HR processes.

With unchecked social media pushing false reality, reach out to your reps and politicians to make sure they know we want common sense regulation that keeps billionaire oligarchs from being propaganda machines that drowns out voices of reason. Ideas on how to resist? bsky.app/profile/prop...

Joined bluesky to add my voice to grassroots efforts to advance ethical leadership and better governance. Ask congress to look at Richard L Daft leadership traits. Moral Purpose & Integrity; Courage to do What Is Right, Inspire Positive Change. This is the opposite of what we #resist

Please help identify books, quotes, TED talks, etc. that teach and promote political integrity, courage that reflect the best of human nature. Our leaders need reminding America wasn’t built on bullying and self interest but on governance for good.

Civil servants are voters, mothers, fathers, etc. Let congress know that they deserve better treatment. Workers are protected from illegal and improper management practices. We expect better for those we rely on for govt services. Let ‘em know.

Constituents, notify your reps of your expectations of responsible and ethics leaders. Use references and resources such as Everything I ... Learned in Kindergarten, R. Fulghum-e.g., a) Play Fair – Honesty and integrity matter in govt. b) Don't Hit People – Treat others with kindness and respect.

i have been thinking of ways to get message to congress and political leaders better ways to improve government than the Musk 'wood chipper' approach. The practice of I/O psychology and org dev has a place in helping. Let's remind them of responsible leadership principles leaderethicswi.org
