So they told us what they were going to do to ALL of us. Here is a tracker on their progress in destroying our country: www.project2025.observer

Blocking NIH grants will affect every single one of us when the research we all benefit from is halted

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

HHS has ordered CDC to stop its influenza vaccine “Wild to Mild” media campaign. This is an award-winning campaign that effectively explains how influenza vaccine may not prevent infection but does decrease illness severity. We are currently having one of the worst influenza seasons in 15 years.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

At the behest of Wall Street donors, Congressional Republicans are trying to overturn the CFPB's new rule against predatory overdraft fees. The rule would have capped overdraft charges at $5, saving consumers $5B annually. The GOP is the party of junk fees.

So if Musk doesn’t run DOGE, and DOGE isn’t a real government agency, then no one has to listen to Musk or do what the DOGE bros tell them to do, right?

Fort Collins, CO turned out in the bitter cold to protest #kingsnotpresidents. Hard to capture the full scope but 300 people (600 numb hands) covered all 4 street corners!

I’ve toured the #FAA facilities and it’s truly a well choreographed dance they do day in and day out to keep our skies safe. They don’t need #DOGE - they need more people. Sign this letter to tell your representatives to do something so we can all continue to safely #travel

This isn’t Donald Trump’s America. This isn’t any president’s America. It’s ours, and we the people will fight for it.

🖋️ “Avian flu? Musk in the IRS? Ceding Ukraine to Putin? STOP THESE DISASTERS NOW!” hit 250 signers!

I don’t think an unelected billionaire like Elon Musk should have access to your personal data—we need to prevent DOGE from getting into the IRS. abcnews.go.com/Politics/elo...

Are people finally waking up? The real fight isn’t about bathrooms or drag queens—it’s about who holds power & at whose expense. Culture war is just a distraction, keeping working people too busy fighting each other rather than noticing who’s actually robbing us blind: billionaires—not each other!

They’re firing NIH scientists and replacing them with people with this level of crappy chart-making? Sounds like the DOGE kids would benefit from going through the NIH postbac program. 🧪

I signed it - will you?

Every word of this.

Rep. Gabe Amo: The Republican Tax Scam could take a machete to slash $230 billion from SNAP and $880 billion from Medicaid. That is the entire SNAP and Medicaid budget. Impoverished people, & people w/ disabilities go without food and insurance so billionaires can get richer. That’s disgusting!

Tapping the sign wearily

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

The position I'd like to see House and Senate Democrats take is pretty simple: We refuse to cooperate with Republicans on anything until they stop breaking the law and trashing the Constitution. We want Musk out, DOGE dissolved, and the Trump administration complying with federal court orders.

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism. But what the autistic people in your life hear when you spread that widely debunked misinformation is that you would prefer to have a child die a painful death from eradicated communicable disease than to be like them. That's nasty work. Hope this helps!

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

Hey, every news outlet: Calley Means is NOT a “food safety advocate” He is a wellness profiteer. He OWNS a supplement & wellness company. He is a professional lobbyist. He makes money selling unproven products & undermining evidence-based medicine. Stop being complicit. 1/

I am no longer accepting the argument "there are bigger problems than this!" unless you are personally working to stop the ultimate Heat Death of the Universe.

🚨An open letter to the Democrats. 🚨 Get off your fucking letter writing asses and do something, anything that is not the norm. Every fucking one of you is still acting like the kid in HS that spent his time with model Gov or junior UN haveing debates full of platitudes and quips to win your point.

Please, if you are in a crisis situation, reach out. You are loved, you are wanted, and you are valued for who you are.

I know there is some anxiety around how to protect yourself in light of Muskrat and his herd of shitler youth getting their hands on all our personal information so here are the steps you can take to protect yourself. I’ve seen these in various threads but thought it worth putting them together🧵 1/?

Even if we don’t stop RFK Jr’s confirmation, it’s still important to tell your senators how cutting infectious disease research funding and spreading vaccine misinformation will hurt people in their states. Contact their local offices. Save this link for the long haul. pluralpolicy.com/open/

Top 11 ways you can #Resist today: 11. Get educated on what is actually happening. Follow the news, but also insider accounts (#ALTgov) and others. 10. Be intentional about where you spend your money. Don’t support businesses that support this Administration or have caved to anti-DEIA rhetoric.

“A sane government would never do this.”

I know how easy it is to get overwhelmed. I promise you though, there are far more people who want to do what's right than not. If we stand together we will prevail.

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.

NIH doesn’t just support infectious disease research—it drives breakthroughs in cancer, childhood diseases, heart disease, diabetes & more. Thanks to NIH, we have: 💉 Cancer immunotherapy ❤️ Cholesterol-lowering statins 🩸 Insulin for diabetes Investing in NIH = investing in life-saving discoveries.

RFK Jr: Screams about dyes in food which ARE regulated for safety and Screams about vaccine ingredients which ARE tested and regulated for safety While consuming a synthetic dye, methylene blue, that is NOT regulated OR tested for safety & encouraging others to do so too. 1/

Do you know anyne working for DOGE? Here are a handful of the people working with Elon Musk to cut federal agencies @propublica.org projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-do...
