Here's what I plan to do today. I'm calling the Oregon AG and the governor and demanding that they file suite against Elon Musk and his hostile takeover of the federal treasury. You should do the same.

Let's not forget about Musk & Putin's long distance LTR. This story broke just before the election.
I think we probably need to assume that if Musk has the keys to the vault, Putin probably does too.

Inspectors General are key public servants tasked with holding our government accountable. They’re independent, nonpartisan whose work is identifying fraud, waste, & importantly, abuse. Trump just fired them all. Make no mistake: he's purging those who will protect the rule of law.

Alright. I can have some basic bitch tendencies and I have been known to treat myself too a little Target run from time to time, but fuck this.
It's straight to the boycott list with you.
It's straight to the boycott list with you.
Target is joining a wave of US companies pulling back on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, as right-wing pressure leads companies to alter their commitment to hiring diverse candidates and expanding access.
