Trump’s new Executive Order is designed to eliminate “unnecessary” regulations. Guess which regulations are considered unnecessary? The ones protecting you. 🚧🏢 Link to White House fact sheet with full info attached 🤬🖕🏼 www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

The fact that Trump is siding with Russia and calling Zelenskyy a dictator is the latest tell that he is either compromised by Putin or so stunningly misinformed that it’s a shock he’s even able to have an opinion at all. I suppose it could be both.

Trump is firing fed employees by the thousands & demolishing the federal government with no checks & balances. QUESTION: what is to prevent Trump from firing every single federal employee thus eliminating the fed govt (maybe less the armed forces which he could use to maintain his dictatorship)?

Many of us are only able to work here, pay taxes here, contribute to society here, and participate in democracy here because of birthright citizenship. Which by the way, is protected by the Constitution. Republicans now want to take that away and say the Constitution does not apply to everyone.

People are waking up to just how bad things are with co-presidents Trump & Musk and Republicans running Congress. We don’t have to wait for midterms—we can win special elections now. We’ve been here before and won. @repjasmine.bsky.social lays out the path 🔥

Alzheimer’s has affected many of us. It strips away a person’s dignity & emotionally, physically, and financially overwhelms families. There’s been promises of better treatments, but now that is gone bc trump/musk have cut experts in this field which will have devastating effects on all of us.

SpaceX has a TERRIBLE track record when it comes to prioritizing safety. If that’s how Elon Musk wants to run his company then so be it, but him and his engineers shouldn’t be anywhere NEAR initiatives that affect aviation safety for everyone else. www.popsci.com/science/nasa...

I have long believed that not enough has been written about how GOP members have felt physically intimidated by Trump supporters. It doesn’t excuse their cowardice, but it still deserves more attention.

“We the People” are in DC, and wow—this crowd is yuge! Much bigger than the felons 🤭 Because democracy isn’t a coronation—it’s a fight. And we’re here to say NO to fascism, NO to Project 2025, and YES to a future where freedom actually means something. @50501movement.bsky.social

It’s nice that the Target founder’s heirs oppose canceling DEI & sidelining Black-owned products, but they don’t run the company—and Target has made its stance clear. @Target.com: There’s nothing you sell that I can’t find elsewhere. I don’t shop where I’m not welcome. You’ve already been replaced.

Good afternoon to all Democracy Defenders. What we've seen happening to threaten democracy isn't the vision we want in our world. We have formed Defenders Of Democracy to bring people together with the common goal of taking back our power and strengthen ties that bind us as lovers of democracy.

A depressing but apt summation of where we are, and why democracy is failing: the richest and most powerful institutions in human history recognize climate change is warming the planet and increasing extreme weather events, but they pretend otherwise to placate a fascist movement.

Trump is making another 911 more likely. His Gaza scheme is inflaming the Middle East. He’s gutting intelligence agencies, prioritizing loyalty over merit. FBI & CIA comms are in chaos. Weak intel means they may not see the threats coming. And w/political retribution as the focus—we’re wide open.
