Don’t allow anyone to tell you that your dream of going off the grid and becoming a bookstore owner with a mysterious backstory who has a quaint shop on a cobblestone side street in Edinburgh is “unrealistic.”

No Senator was elected to let the President or some unaccountable billionaire decide how YOUR tax dollars get spent.
Let me be clear: CONGRESS holds the power of the purse, and NO President can unilaterally abolish an entire agency or ignore our appropriations laws.

Red states-pay attention, because you’ll get hit hardest!
They’re gutting NOAA to privatize weather forecasting. Knowledge is power—forecasting is knowledge.
Fossil fuel execs rake in billions while the planet chokes—folks keep guzzling gas & won’t notice the climate crisis while the world burns.

It's very reasonable for normal, upstanding Americans to make clear that they won't stand for unAmerican trash like JD Vance. Everyone has their limits.
🚨 BREAKING: After torpedoing yesterday’s meeting with Zelensky, JD Vance fled to Vermont for vacation—only to be met by hundreds of furious protesters.

Entire NIH departments will have no leaders.

We need to talk more about how it feels to be a woman amidst this sudden onslaught of “reclaiming masculinity,” celebrating male aggression and violence, and vanishing smart experienced women from positions of power.

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.
