“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

It's just so important to look at oneself first. If you're asking why OTHER people aren't doing something that YOU aren't, you'll find part of the answer in why you aren't doing said thing.

Musk's "deferred resignation" contract is a TRAP. Anyone who signs it WAIVES all rights to pursue legal action against the government -- including TO ENFORCE THE RESIGNATION AGREEMENT ITSELF. So Musk and Trump can just break the contract, and there's nothing you can do.

If you're advocating for racism, you're a racist. If you're advocating for eugenics, you're a racist. If you're advocating for racists to get hired or rehired by the government, you're a racist. Hope that clears things up.

If you owe student loan debt, you need to take a photo of your current balance. The government outsources your loan servicer if you have federal loans. The elimination of the DOE means NO federal oversight into how much you owe. PSLF gone. Repayment plans? Gone. It can also likely hit your CREDIT

USAID was founded by JFK to fight the Kremlin -- by helping countries all over the world, rather than having them fall under Soviet dominance. The Kremlin has wanted to kill USAID ever since. Don't fall for anti-USAID propaganda -- it all comes from PUTIN.

Hold the fuck on — the Department of Government Efficiency, the entity which claims its mission is to end “wasteful spending”, was given SEVEN MILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS to cover its “expenses” in the span of a single week?!?! Are you fucking kidding me?!?

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans. And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump. It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other. Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

What the US is experiencing right now is fascism. There's no other word for it and pretending that it's verboten to say so diminishes the truth as much as they are diminishing the truth. It's fascism. It's arrived.

youtu.be/OujB43E-JeI?... I had talked about this yesterday when @reuters.com broke the story. It's still not being reported as widely as necessary, but @maddow.msnbc.com is talking about The Treasury Breach by DOGE! Pay attention and share these stories big time!

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
