Musk reportedly spent $40M on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful. Here’s how wewould’ve spent that $$:🏈Purchased HIV treatment from U.S. pharma companies to keep 1M pp alive for 1 year.Tell Congress to youtu.be/PqUESHfuO_8 #saveforeignaid and #standwithUSAID

These are the people who keep society functioning, behind the scenes. But as things unravel and systems face increasing strain, it’s more important than ever to stay prepared and do what you can to protect yourself.

The so-called "deep state" isn't some shadowy conspiracy—it's the thousands of dedicated government employees across the country who ensure that planes don’t collide in the sky, traffic lights operate smoothly, and bridges remain standing.

RFK Jr. is a whole different level of dangerous. His anti-vaccine rhetoric and disregard for science could put countless lives at risk, reversing decades of public health progress. Please call a U.S. senator and let them know how critical it is to oppose his nomination.

My old question when meeting someone: who won the 2020 election

My new question: who were the bad guys in WWII

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

Mark. I feel this. But debating in 300 character increments with people with whom we do not have a shared pool of facts is not an exchange of viewpoints.

This is the most frustrating part of all the normalization.

"What color is the sky?"

"Cars!"

That is not an exchange of perspectives.

okay, we're starting with this

Step 1. call your own rep if you haven't already!

Step 2. sign this (cis women only please! cis guys, you can help by boosting)

Step 3. much depends on the success and reach of step 2; lots of options if this blows up

Tweet from the first openly transgender member of congress.

I am finding it quite unbearable to watch Sarah McBride bear the grotesque attack of her colleagues with so much grace. I know it is what we have been taught to expect of trailblazers, but I am increasingly struggling to accept this.

This is for my red state folks. If you are in a blue state, call your Senator and kindly but firmly demand that this gets done.

These lower courts are our frontline defense against his fascist agenda and are essential for upholding our rights and freedoms. We must slow him down as much as possible.

Today's Small Favor: Please take a moment to set an alarm for when you can make a quick call to Chuck Schumer's office at (202) 224-6542. Introduce yourself and urge him to prioritize filling every vacant federal judgeship before this term ends. Then ask a friend to do the same.

Mace introduces bill to bar trans women from Capitol restrooms Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) on Monday introduced a bill to bar transgender women from facilities on Capitol Hill that match their gender identity. The resolution, which would prohibit members, officer…

when the time comes & this bill has a number or is rolled into a rules package, we absolutely need cis folks to call reps about this. even GOP reps.

if 1 democrat lets this go without a fight, a national bill won’t be far behind. and if the GOP isn’t unanimous, there’s a chance they won’t even try.

I hate to repeat myself, but the Senate MUST confirm the remaining 25+ judicial nominees who need votes by the end of December. Call your Senator. NOW.

If you’re in a red state, call Sen. Schumer.

(202) 224-3121. #CourtsMatter

If you account for non-voters and people under 18, they make up around 20% of the population, which is enough to make the rest of us miserable. However, calling them half takes away the power the rest of us have to stop them.

PRO TIP: MAGAts have figured out that, after many of us left Twitter, that they really have no purpose in life without being able to troll us.

Don't let anyone shame you into thinking that it's somehow wrong or cowardly to BLOCK these assholes.

This is OUR good place.
Block those dumb fuckers.

The fact that Trump clearly hates Elon as much as the rest of us would make this all very funny if it weren't for the whole fascist nightmare we're all trapped in.

The fact that The New York Times and other major media sources keep saying things like "don't worry, he can't do that; it's against the law," is a significant reason why we are in this mess. He's a criminal, so expect him to break the law.

I read a quote today about not being afraid to raise dragon slayers in the time of actual dragons.

I’m taking off my teacher hat and talking to you as a parent.

Don’t be afraid to talk to your kids about where we are as a country and where we might go.

We’re raising voters.
Educate them.
