If you like me, have n "ethical" or "green" 401k/IRA, I guarantee it will include Tesla stock bc they are seen as a green company. Call the fund manager to demand that they divest. SpaceX/Starlink is privately held, so there is no stock. Corps that use their products are: Visa, TMobile, Comcast

If the constitution is still in operation, Trump's executive order abolishing the Department of Education is just a suggestion. If Trump can abolish the Department of Education with an executive order, then the constitution is just a suggestion.

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

Trump and Rubio have defied a court order. So what’s next?

Judge Boasberg is a hero.

If I hear 1 more "call your reps is the new 'thoughts and prayers'", I'm gonna throw something. It's not worthless to engage in small acts of resistance. Pressure your reps. Boycott corporations. Attend protests. Join grassroots orgs and attend meetings. Our small acts have huge collective power.

I smell some good trouble

Just restating the simple point: President lacks the constitutional authority to close a department created by Congress. Full stop. Both the creation and on-going funding of these Depts are LAWS not suggestions. This is criminal conduct. www.wsj.com/politics/pol... via @WSJ

If your descendants get to live in a free country, it will be because enough of us fought against Republican fascism in the year 2025. If your descendants end up imprisoned in a dictatorship, it will mean too few of us did.

Just imagining an Oceans 11 style caper where fired federal works with various highly specialized skills band together to take down a mad billionaire trying to destroy the country.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

We need to learn and adapt. Every single Senate Dem vote for Rubio. It got us nothing. "Rollover and play dead" got us nothing. Fight back or lose the democracy. Full stop.

That’s my senator

My actual email to OPM: 5 Things I Did This Week: 1. Planted trees 2. Read stories to kindergarteners 3. Made delicious meatballs 4. Picked up trash 5. Called my senators and representative. Every day. PS: I resign.

He is breaking Sheriff Rule 101: always do bad things in your capacity so you get qualified immunity.

Trump wants Kash Patel to run the FBI for one reason: total control. Patel colluded to block investigations, spread election lies, and glorify January 6. Patel won’t uphold the law—he’ll sabotage it to protect Trump and target his enemies with a revenge agenda. I voted “No.”

I think targeting musk is vital. Nobody, not even MAGA, likes rich guys telling them what to do. We have to drive that point.

My letter to Sen Merkley yesterday ended with: "We can't wait 2 years. Please stop playing chess while elon musk plays thermo-nuclear war."

President’s Day Protest in Eugene OR

He's running for MI Senate, but maybe he's got a little free time...?
