Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

Tonight I'm even more embarrassed to be an American than yesterday. He's demolishing our country.

Rep. Thomas Massie introduced a bill to get rid of the Department of Education. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Since tariffs are a tax on U.S. importers, why do we permit the President to impose them unilaterally without authorization from Congress? Asking for a nation.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

If you’re not part of the resistance, you’re part of the problem. And stay out of the way of the people that actually care about this country and the human beings in it.

If you threatened to deport a bishop because they advocated for mercy, you’re not a follower of Jesus Christ.

So to keep tabs, Trump hired a man to run defense whose former colleagues called him a falling down drunk (he denies it) and who paid a woman $50k for...he hasn't said but he's also denied sexually assaulting her or abusing one of his ex-wives. And he's hiring a former drug addict to run healthcare.

This is absolutely insane. Donald Trump suggests he will only provide aid to California if they pass a voter ID law. Then he said he’ll put no conditions on North Carolina, a state that voted for him. What a petty, evil man.

If you encounter an ICE agent and are a US citizen resist and do not comply with any of their requests. Do not give them your name, Do not provide them your ID, Do not speak to them in English. Make them work for it, the more time they spend on you the less time they spend rounding up people.

ICE attempted to enter a South Side elementary school this morning and were denied entry, Chicago Public Schools officials claim abc7chicago.com/amp/post/us-...

Trump tells Sean Hannity "I don't care" about the economy and that Joe Biden's pardons are more important

Just a peek at what is happening over on TikTok. #censorship

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

Never. Forget.

Constitutionally, President Trump cannot end birthright citizenship. What he can do is give cover for states like Texas and Florida to deny birth certificates and Social Security cards to newborns. He creates the confusion that he then can leverage for his own benefit. "Flood the zone with shit."

I saved this on TikTok right before it went dark. Now I’m bringing it to Bluesky ❤️

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.? In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

Donold says he will save TikTok on Monday. Yet another trap that Democrats willingly fell into.

A People’s History of the United States. Chapter 4 During the elections for the 1776 convention to to frame a constitution for Pennsylvania, a Privates Committee urged voters to oppose “great and overgrown rich men…they will be too apt to be framing distinctions in society.”

I've never been very active on Twitter; I usually just read on Threads, but somehow I feel compelled to do SOMETHING here. I’m not sure what to do but thought I’d start with excerpts from books I’m reading. Let's see where this journey takes me!

We are officially six days away from a TikTok ban. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming ruling, the possible outcomes, along with all the big news you may have missed from this weekend! open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...
