I get why people go “if they can do this to legal residents, they can to citizens” and “could happen to you”—thinking through implications informs legal rulings, people tend to care more when they could be personally impacted—but I’m still on basic rights good, govt blatantly violating rights bad.

I saw a version of this on here before but it's worth yelling: these institutions that Musk is illegally dismantling– the weather service, health system, climate & energy research, international aid, maybe the US mail(?)– they don't belong to him, they belong to us. We invested in them. They're ours

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

To be fair, one man technically does not have this kind of power; he has it only because he has the support of an entire political party and its movement
One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months.
I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

The average American has a median retirement savings of $65,000 verses the oligarchs hundreds of billions of dollars. So when we all lose 50% or more because he crashes the economy - they can swoop in & buy everything for pennies on the dollar. Simply put, that’s how they will own us.

Project 2025 calls for using public channels of communication (like Signal) instead of secure government channels, to subvert FOIA requests and conceal damning information from the public. This was no rookie mistake. It's the plan.

Here's my script for calling for the resignation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth & National Security Advisor Michael Waltz!
Call ESPECIALLY your Republican representatives who are always bragging about loving the military!

Here's the script I used:
Hi, my name is [Constituent name] and l'm a constituent from [City & Zip Code].
I'm demanding that [Rep or Senator XYZ] call for the immediate resignation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth & National Security Advisor Michael Waltz for having a classified conversation on a personal phone and a commercial messaging app.
A recent Department of Defense memo specifically cited Signal as one example of an "unmanaged" messaging app that is not authorized to transmit non-public DOD information.
Any Defense Secretary or National Security Advisor who carelessly uses a non-secure phone to have classified conversations is putting our troops at immeasurable risk.
[Representative XYZ] must act to protect those military members who are putting their lives on the line for our defense.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dozrbbuzuojdwr2psqkapfxo/bafkreia3lzrueyczdacy7da47lbhyjkzq4f7xp6us2zwizwg5myoui6m3m@jpeg)

We are in the midst of what many consider the most promising pancreatic cancer cure research in decades. This is literally joining the War on Cancer on the side of cancer. It's happening in multiple departments. They're also attacking mRNA fax science which is the heart of the possible breakthrough.
They just cut $20M of pancreatic cancer research from DoD. Who the hell could be thinking they won’t be targeted?
