🚨 BREAKING: 11 young people were arrested after Schumer locked the doors on us—we showed him how to fight, but he couldn’t even face us.

His cowardly deal gives Musk the keys to our government while working people suffer. If he won’t fight for us, he’s unfit to lead.

Step up or step aside.

We need more leaders willing to engage with the people, not coward in fear behind closed doors. It’s laughable that some politicians think avoiding their voters is a winning strategy. Americans deserve better.

Hi, hello. In order to grasp the significance of Trump crowning himself a King, you have to understand that he is literally carrying out a plan crafted by Curtis Yarvin, a right wing extremist, to overthrow democracy and replace it with dictatorial rule by a monarch-CEO.

We have lots of stories from history to remind us what happens when a disease like measles tears through an unvaccinated/under-vaccinated population. None of them have happy endings. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
At least 22 children and two adults infected in Texas measles outbreak
Nine of those infected were hospitalized and more cases are likely, health authorities said. U.S. vaccination rates for measles are falling, according to the CDC.

Elon Musk’s 20-year-old staffers are not only demanding access to highly restricted information but are also displaying aggressive behavior—shouting at anyone who stands in their way, resorting to name-calling, throwing tantrums, and even hitting objects in anger.

If you think it’s alarming or authoritarian for a U.S. President to propose taking over lands that belong to other peoples how do you think our country came to exist?

Elon has 23 staffers. Once the dust settles, you’ll never find a job again. America will remember. Someone will take the fall—and we know exactly who to hold accountable. Stop the games. Quit hiding your names—it really doesn’t work.

I see we're going to require a lot more honesty about the USA's habitual and continued violent white supremacist land theft. It's not hard to find empathy for Palestinians when the state does the same shit here.

Would love to see the cishet white men of kidlit get vocal in the fight against book bans.

Literally ALL the rest of us are being silenced. You're the only ones who truly have a chance of being listened to here.

Staying silent is a political choice, too ✌🏽
