Mood.

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives.

Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Transgender people face more harassment in bathrooms that match their sex assigned at birth: study A new study proves that transgender people are more likely to face harassment when using bathrooms that align with their sex assigned at birth than in facilities that match their identities.

We need to support & defend trans people, they are first, we are next 🚨

Maybe fighting for them saves us all 🤔

I hope America is as lucky as the upside down Delta jet. Everyone survives but the right wing explodes.

$39M+ has been earmarked to DOGE in Trump admin’s first month.
For perspective, in recent years Congress had allocated around $50M a year for the IT modernization initiative that DOGE supplanted.

Two years ago I warned everyone not to embrace Brad Raffensperger as some sort of hero. Now he is sucking up to MAGA.

Congress? Hello—federal workers here. We are struggling to fight all of this on our own.

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.

The Movement to Redirect Billions of Taxpayer Dollars to Private Religious Schools Private letters reveal the strategy behind the decadeslong quest — successful in 12 states and counting — by politicians, church officials and activists to make taxpayer-funded school vouchers availab...

Book bans, censored history, attacking LGBTQ kids, underpaying teachers, funding cuts.

It’s all coordinated to delegitimize public education & push for-profit charter and religious schools — paid for by billionaire dark money.

School vouchers are a scam.

Heads up Indiana peeps! I don’t know much about this event, but it’s starting to show up in my feed. It is an opportunity to get out there with like-minded folks and show you support bodily autonomy along with other true freedoms. action.womensmarch.com/events/peopl...

Even after passing, President Carter is taking care of democracy.
Flags will remain at half-staff during Trump’s inaugural event.

Thank you, Jimmy Carter☮️

I detect no lies… 😕

This country has the means to do so much more for its citizens, but greedy politicians are beholden to their wealthy donors, the NRA and big corporations.

To them, it’s all about money and power, not the health and the well being of the American people.

It appears Musk came to US on a student visa, did not attend school and worked illegally here.

If he lied in his subsequent immigration applications he committed a felony level crime and could be stripped of his citizenship and security clearances.

Musk's brother: "We were illegal immigrants."
