Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

A top Social Security Administration official resigned after clashing with Musk staffers over access to sensitive personal records. They sought entry into an internal system containing Americans’ private data. Thank you, Michelle, for resisting—and for your 30 years of service.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

It's always been the case that "buying" an ebook from amazon was only actually a loan they could rescind at any point, but lately Amazon have gone harder on this, and it is 100% so that they can wipe banned books from your libraries without your consent. Buy direct from authors. Get your files.

The IRS Free File pilot program helped 140K taxpayers save $5.6M in tax filing costs in 2024. Despite recent claims, the program is still running and is now available to 30M people in 2025. Any attempt to dismantle it will enrich the tax prep industry at your expense.

The Right is focused on education—banning books & history, & defunding schools. The Left hasn’t been as focused on education, but should because: 1) Students deserve to learn the truth & with it they can change the world 2) Educators are the most unionized workplace & can be a force for justice

Today I was at a romance book pop-up and I forgot the phrase “paranormal romance.” I asked if all they had was “human on human.” This is why I shouldn’t leave the house.

"Stop romanticizing toxic tropes in fiction" Bro literally never heard of 'Romanticism' (1790 - c. 1850) and how it's a deliberate rejection of order, harmony, balance, and rationality and celebrates the irrational, personal, emotional, weird, occult, and monstrous by design, how embarrassing 😞

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Queer Liberation Library is up for a grant for P4A this year!!! I have a QLL library card and it's such a great resource and they do amazing work. I use it as a supplement for my local library, and my fav thing to do is scroll the "available now" list because lots of the books do have wait times.

Never forget that Trump was the culmination of 40 years of stagnant wages, widening inequality, corruption, dog-whistle politics, and economic gains for the rich. If we fail to address this, we should expect future Trumps as far as the eye can see.
