Friendly reminder that in 2021, the head of United Nations World Food Programme asked Elon Musk for $6b of his $400b fortune to save 42 million people from starving to death, and Musk made fun of him on Twitter.

Fire Elon Musk.
Use every legislative, judicial, and public pressure tactic at our disposal until we get it done.

Trump giving Elon your kid’s social security number sure is a weird way to make “education freedom”
The @washingtonpost.com write-up has 20+ of Musk’s people already inside the Education Dept operating.
Trump was already letting billionaires like Betsy DeVos and Jeff Yass write his policy agenda w/school vouchers.
Now the richest of them all gets his turn

Listen, for folks who don't know, I was a part of a small organizing team that led to a mass mobilization in 813 cities worldwide in 2019.
I am not talking out of my ass.
You should be VERY VERY VERY careful in this environment about sharing flyers for events that identify NO organizer.

It’s genuinely shocking if you’re remotely familiar with the basic facts of trans care and youth medicine.
It is *profoundly* difficult to access gender-affirming care as a minor and the Times has printed more than a dozen articles implying that it is too easy.

in hindsight the NYT anti-trans crusade is one of the most despicable things that any big time journalism outfit in this country has ever done. a perfect and clearly intentional layup for the fascists on the Supreme Court

In June, a woman named Stephenie reached out to @propublica.org. An outreach worker told her we were reporting on cities conducting sweeps of homeless encampments, and she had a story to tell. 🧵

Elon Musk spent Thanksgiving with Trump instead of his family and Trump sat next to Musk during the feast instead of his wife Melania Trump. Musk hasn't left Trump's side since the election, questions are arising if he'll be living at the White House after January.

At the 1992 RNC convention, some delegates held up signs that said “Thank God for AIDS” and “Family Rights Forever/Gay Rights Never.” Not exactly as catchy as “Mass Deportations Now,” but just as dehumanizing.
