How long have you been awake today? Say, 12 hours so far? In that time, the Trump-Musk USAID defundings have starved to death 1236 human beings – two-thirds of them children. Dwell on this.

Please read and share. And share again.

Trump, Musk and Rubio have sent millions of the poorest people in the world to their death. On purpose.

Why? For tax cuts for billionaires? To appease Putin? What is the possible justification for this?

I’m so confused by the folks who said that raising the minimum wage would increase the price of every day goods while also being okay with tariffs raising the price of every day goods…

I reckon they are okay paying higher prices as long as it doesn’t help anyone making a minimum wage.

Elon Musk said he’d cut the federal budget by $2 trillion

Quickly lowered this to $1 trillion

Now he’s down to $150 billion

And even THAT appears to be an overestimate of $92 billion

So-after firing thousands of workers and destroying government services

This clown will cut $58 billion

Maybe

i have learned that way too many americans see the concept of 'freedom' simply as the potential to be rich and privileged, even if they aren't, & not things like freedom from dying from a preventable illness if you're poor, or being imprisoned for minor crimes, or persecuted by the police, etc

I imagine I'm not the only person who sees this video and immediately flashes back to the iconic photos of people with shaved heads in Nazi concentration camp barracks stacked one on top of another. Not trying very hard to buck the charges of being kinda fashy, eh?

When you show your fear of libraries, you show your embrace of ignorance.

The FAA’s Troubles Are More Serious Than You Know The agency responsible for air safety is facing deep cuts and interference by Elon Musk.

Pay attention to this: Musk is trying to make our air traffic control system "dependent” on him by integrating his equipment, which has not gone through security and risk-management review.

It's corruption. And it's dangerous.

Fire Elon Musk.

LOL. A room full of empty heads talking about empty ideas and empty coffers they want to fill with REAL taxpayer money.

The Social Security Administration is cutting 7,000 jobs and closing half of its regional offices. It's no coincidence that Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." They're gutting the program YOU'VE PAID INTO to make room for more billionaire tax cuts.

Now is the time to speak up.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The secret to American politics is this-stupid people think rich people are smart when in fact rich people are merely amoral. If not to begin with, then the love of money has made them so. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ’°

Social Security has been 7 years from going bankrupt for the past 56 years.

This is a lie Republicans created and perpetuate to condition you into accepting the loss of an earned benefit you paid for in every check you ever earned.

Hi. It's not normal for a nominee to be Director of the FBI to have his own personal hit list of people he wants to take revenge on using the power of the fed'l govt. Do not confirm.

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

Pete Hegseth’s Mother Accused Her Son of Mistreating Women for Years Penelope Hegseth made the accusation in an email to her son in 2018, amid his contentious divorce. She said on Friday that she regretted the email and had apologized to him.

β€œβ€˜I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.’”

President Biden, you vowed to add ratified ERA to our Constitution. Time's up. | Opinion When Virginia ratified the Equal Rights Amendment in 2020, we expected it to be published by archivist. Trump stopped it. Biden can fix this.

Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved.

We need more shows that look ahead and find goodness.
