We're strongest when we are united.
Perhaps DOGE isn't nearly as efficient as their name would imply. It's almost as if the Federal agencies that were identifying safety problems were doing their job well before Elon dismissed them in relatiation.

We'll cut your sales off and hit you where it hurts until you tell your little president to back down.
I am saying this now...watch.
He will announce that he is doing away with the mid-terms.
He will try to stop another election from happening.
I suspect their lack of melanin might have something to do with it.

So I respond with..."So what is the problem with being the only white guy there?"
And crickets.
I really want to hear someone say why it's a problem.
They only care about the children when they are still in the womb.
School shootings....2nd Ammendment
Vaccinations to prevent preventable disease..."Parents know best"
Apparently allowing children to die OUTSIDE the womb is okay.
This is sad and frustratingly preventable.
The majority of your population either abstained from voting in this election, or voted for an authoritarian. He won the popular vote this time around, which means that according to democratic principles....the majority of Americans did.

4οΈβ£ Calling It Out β We canβt let influential figures rewrite reality. Dismissing concerns doesnβt erase the harm. Recognizing gaslighting is the first step in fighting it.
08.02.2025 21:09 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 03οΈβ£ The Impact β Jewish organizations and extremism experts warn that Muskβs behaviour legitimizes far-right rhetoric. Ignoring it doesnβt make it go away.

Elon Musk made a gesture at Trumpβs inauguration that many saw as a Nazi salute. Instead of addressing concerns, he mocked critics and made Nazi-themed jokes. Letβs talk about the gaslighting happening in real time. π§΅π
5οΈβ£ History Isnβt That Simple β No era is 100% good or bad. When we call something a Golden Age, we need to ask: Golden for whom? And at what cost? ππ‘

4οΈβ£ The Myth of Decline β Golden Age rhetoric fuels the idea that society is worse now, even when weβve made huge gains in healthcare, rights, and education. Itβs not that things were better, just different.
