Yesterday, we sent a historically big message to Trump, Musk, and the GOP — and we also sent a signal to all those who agree with us but have spent the last few months feeling shaken, hopeless, and afraid. #handsoff

Trump, Musk and Republicans in Congress are gutting services, raising prices, and racing towards slashing Medicaid, Social Security, and other life-saving programs. It’s time to fight back. app.sosha.ai/s/mcqxPtrO

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.

Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again.

NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

First They Came for Columbia | Opinion | The Harvard Crimson We must learn from the past. We cannot remain silent in the face of authoritarian attacks on our peers, even if they have not yet come for us.

Staying silent will kill freedoms which define America.

the tesla protest might objectively be among the most successful in history already just in terms of immediate response, if you consider they forced the world’s most powerful person & its most wealthy to fully degrade themselves like used car salesmen on live TV while the whole world watched agog.

This is my closest friend at this time. He listened to all my complaints and agrees with me and gets excited whenever I do even though he doesn’t know why.

Mr. Musk plans to layoff 83,000 workers at the VA. That means lower quality care for our vets. Unacceptable.

I agree with the VFW: The VA must “reconsider its planned reduction of 83,000 employees & thoroughly review any proposed cuts prior to rolling out further announcements.”

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point.

The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math.

Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

Boycott the State of the Oligarchy tonight. Absolutely nothing he says is true, it is only deserving of resistance. Watch AOC or Bernie you’ll be smarter and saner.
