Staying the obvious here, but…👇

Is anyone really surprised?!

they are stealing data from the american people and depriving us of the transparency that we are entitled to by law. none of this is legal and not a single federal employee has any reason to comply.

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

There is no cavalry. No karma. No arc of history. Just us. Make calls. Make demands. Love each other. Refuse to carry out orders.

Literally happening as we speak

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

They win when you:

- lose hope
- give up
- become cynical and withdraw
- keep silent to stay off their radar

Don't let them win.

This goes one of two ways: our democracy sinks beneath the ocean permanently (80%) or the backlash against billionaires is shocking in its size, scope and fury (20%)

The latter would take people realizing that a very small group of people are destroying Earth, but it's not as fun as owning the libs

The culture wars, the race wars, the gender wars...all smoke screens for the war they don't want you to fight.
