This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

Trump’s executive order shutting down DEI claims that recruiting diverse applicants “diminishes the importance of individual merit, aptitude, hard work, and determination.” Donald Trump’s war on DEI isn’t about merit.

‘Go Woke, Go Broke’? More Like ‘Go Trump, Go Bankrupt’ Trump fired the Kennedy Center leadership, packed the board with loyalists, and claimed he was “saving” the institution. Now? Ticket sales down 50%, artists canceling, patrons boycotting. Turns out, MAGA loyalty doesn’t sell tickets.

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

Elon Musk is not cutting government waste. The real plan is to destroy American democracy and replace it with a Right-wing autocracy. The reason the past month has felt like a hostile takeover of democracy is because that's what it is. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_...

Ya know what boils my blood about these totally indiscriminate firings of civil servants? The destruction of people's dreams & self images. Emails are sent containing fallacious & false statements that they don't have the required skills when they have spent their lives doing/preparing 4 these jobs.

In addition to being illegal, unconstitutional and wrong, Trump's lawlessness is also an extraordinary abuse of power as we the people have to pay his legal bills and ultimately for the damages his harms will bring. He is legally and financially liable for nothing. Break laws, get sued, we pay.

T is for Trizopagurus, the only "normal" (snail shell wearing) hermit crab of #CrabAZ. The better known Halloween hermits (quoted) were in this genus until 1995, but they differ in ornamentation of legs and claws. T. magnificus is so cute on its own though! Together they are spots & stripes! 🦀🦑🧪
