Reminder: we are being trained not to care about other people. It underlines the attacks on migrants, on DEI, on trans youth, on so-called "wokeness."
Sure there are legitimate critiques but this is not about critiques. It's about supercharging capitalism's culture of uncare.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

More accurate, fewer words;
"There are plenty of contractors going under".
A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.
PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.
Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law
Time to do things that make him react to you.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Elon Musk may be the richest man in the world, but he and DOGE have no right to access your personal data and cut essential funding all Americans rely on.
We're in court today to stop this illegal power grab, because no one is above the law.

Vought is giving big banks and giant corporations the green light to scam families.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned over $21 billion to families cheated by Wall Street. Republicans have failed to gut it in Congress and in the courts. They will fail again.

Nothing says "collapsed society" more than this.
The last time the minimum wage was raised was the same year Glee premiered.
It’s been 16 years and since then inflation increased 47%, rent grew 133%, and CEO compensation increased over 300%.

Here’s one thing that I’m watching with Donald Trump’s tariffs:
Which billionaires and giant corporations will buy themselves loopholes?
In his 1st term, well-connected insiders got tariff waivers.
This is one more way to make corporate CEOs kiss Trump's ring.
