Spending isn't a “conspiracy” just because Musk doesn’t know how to read usaspending.gov.

A program isn't waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world.

It isn't fraud just because he doesn’t like it.

A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out.

Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation.

Say equity, which a just society should pursue.

Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

This is one of the most bone-chilling things I have ever heard, Salvadoran dictator President offer to USA to house prisoners in their prisons, even US citizens if need be.
Sobbing emoji…broken heart…rage face….
I got nuthin.
We’re down here trolling around on the bottom.
From a statement the State Department’s spokeswoman issued after Secretary Rubio met with President Bukele:

“In an extraordinary gesture never before extended by any country, President Bukele offered to house in his jails dangerous American criminals, including U.S. citizens and legal residents.”

We cannot mince words about what it would mean to confirm RFK Jr. to our highest health official: elevating him and his anti-science views could have deadly consequences—even before he lifts a finger.

He is wholly unfit & unqualified to lead HHS.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Here's a clip from 2009, when President Obama spoke about the Continental Airlines crash -- the LAST time we had an airline crash with fatalities in America.

He didn't blame Bush.
He didn't blame Reagan.

He just consoled America.
A REAL Commander in Chief.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

Alas, reading Character Limit now is an important tool for understanding the current moment. Without that book I would have assumed much of what I am hearing today was exaggerated. But it is scary similar to Musk path at Twitter. www.amazon.com/Character-Li... @kateconger.com @rmac.bsky.social
