RFK Jr and company believe there's a hierarchy of value that positions able-bodied and neurotypical people at the top and anyone that's different at the bottom.

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education? Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power. Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

Rewatching Ted Lasso for the umpteenth time. It truly is a master class in top notch tv and the way to end a series. I still want more though 😂

Please listen and share—this is a very serious situation. This is extremely alarming! The Trump administration, across two agencies, is considering bringing criminal charges against employees simply for doing their jobs.

It’s amazing how Republicans have convinced so many Americans that they are more likely to be one good move away from being a billionaire instead of 1 unexpected medical bill away from the poor house

Republican Senators who voted for RFK Jr. have the best healthcare in the world, paid for by you. They don’t care about what’s going to happen to your kids, your parents, or you.

A Republican congressman just introduced a bill to abolish OSHA and get rid of federal safety protections for workers. Remind me— wasn’t it Republicans who claimed that they were the party of the working class?

So are we winning? My senior citizen parents who both have to work bc their SS is so low it doesn’t cover anything have been told they are losing their jobs - they don’t work for the same company or even in the same state. Everything is NOT fine - unless you’re a billionaire.

Trump's first two weeks back in office has been filled with chaos and dysfunction. But none of it is random. It's part of a plot to spread cynicism and get you to check out. Oligarchs don't want you to keep paying attention. That's how they win. Don't tune out. Don't let them win.

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

Anddd I might as well add, my literal life goal is to be a foreign ambassador for the us or work for the UN. But all I learn is the most money that goes to it is the most bureaucracy steals from it. Humans are the problem. People are greedy.
