What a nice “surprise” 😂

Fire Elon Musk.

Use every legislative, judicial, and public pressure tactic at our disposal until we get it done.

REP. BEYER: “What Trump and Musk have done is not only wrong, it is illegal. USAID was established by an act of Congress and can only be disbanded by an act of Congress.”

Just like Bezos and Musk wished, Trump neutered the National Labor Relations Board.

Now, union-busting corporations can exploit their employees with impunity.

Last I checked, that's not standing with workers the way Trump promised.

Donald Trump is going to take a victory lap over this new agreement with Mexico over the tariffs.

Don't let him. He caused the chaos.

MORE OF THIS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."

Trump Guts Key Aviation Safety Committee, Fires Heads Of TSA, Coast Guard The committee will technically continue to exist, but it won't have any members to carry out the work of examining safety issues at airlines and airports.

Dems should call for immediate hearings on what caused tonight’s plane crash, including the impact of the removal of FAA safety protocols and personnel.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

I asked RFK Jr. a simple question:

remember stuff like this when they tell you that diversity means a lowering of standards

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Donald Trump’s decision to freeze federal funding is a complete abdication of his duties as President.

We’re going to hold this tyrant accountable.

Democrats should not vote on a single Trump cabinet nominee until this federal assistance freeze is rescinded.

Do not let up.

Trump has halted funding for law enforcement, farmers, schools, veterans, and healthcare. He has effectively frozen 10% of our economy, and people could die if they are cut off from life-saving medications. How can anyone be okay with this?

Fighting for democracy, one pint at a time! #ben&jerrie’s4ever

Donald Trump is talking about making Canada the 51st state to distract you that he wants to abolish the Department of Education through Linda McMahon.

Call your Senators and urge them to vote NO on her nomination.

Why is this being allowed to happen? Where are the checks and balances I remember learning about in school?!

Donald Trump not only wants to defund FEMA, but he also wants to condition aid to California residents who just saw their livelihoods get destroyed.

That’s not leadership.

Bill Gates on His Meeting With Trump, Musk’s DOGE, His Childhood The billionaire spoke with The Wall Street Journal ahead of his coming book, “Source Code.”

Bill Gates believes he would be diagnosed on the autism spectrum if he were a kid today

Had an awesome time chatting with Jon Stewart & @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social talking about how to fight the dumpster fire.

Gear up. It’s time to brawl.

Two chinese workers, one man and one woman, are seen hunched over sewing machines in the inside of a factory in Guangzhou. They are working with red cloth, working it through the sewing machines. Many other workers can be seen in the background. Photo credit to Xiqing Wang for BBC.

Workers are paid per item of clothing completed, often less than $1 per item. On average, they get 1 day off per month.

"Shein is committed to ensuring the fair & dignified treatment of all workers within our supply chain." ...
