Holy shit. “USAID’s inspector general was investigating a public-private partnership involving Musk’s company just before Musk shut the agency down. Key USAID web pages mentioning Musk’s company have suddenly vanished from the agency’s website.” Follow the money.

On the “nobody voted for Musk” v “oh yes they did” debate: Voters were told prior to the election that Musk was going to Chair an advisory committee that would recommend budget cuts of $2 trillion. That was it, nothing else. He created the Co-President role for himself after.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

When you stand up for human rights internationally, you are standing up for human rights for yourselves. Human Rights and international law are set in place to protect you & hold tyrants accountable. That's why it's important to hold allies accountable for their crimes & overall our own politicians.

So all those GOP fuckers who are going around criticizing and lying about the CA wildfires voted AGAINST providing funds for wildfire prevention, including $75,000,000 for the "construction or maintenance of shaded fuel breaks in the Pacific Regions." They have NO shame. #USDemocracy

It's time to call out the GOP for what they are: a party that prioritizes power over people. The SAVE Act is just the latest example of their attempts to silence our voices and maintain their grip on power. #StopTheSAVEAct
