This comes as Tesla’s stock continues to plunge.

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

The only thing that gives me hope daily is looking at the Tesla stock sink. Happy that some folks will not stand for Nazis and oligarchs.

Twitter is down. Tesla stock is plummeting. SpaceX’s rocket imploded.

All owned by the same guy who’s now in charge of our federal government.

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

Hypocrisy on the daily from king t and maga.
Trump just helped bring Andrew Tate — who is literally charged with rape and human trafficking — into our country.

I truly wonder if it came down to it and the 77M had to pick one: America or King T, who would they pick? I’m scared many would follow and already do follow King T. I have such a better understanding on the rise of Hitler now.

So.

It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year.

I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.”
