Let’s break this down—because the gaslighting is wild:

📌Oct 2022 – Biden signs EO to cut drug prices

📌Jan 2025 – Trump takes office and kills Biden’s EO to cut drug prices

📌May 2025 – Trump signs his own EO to lower drug prices

Trump canceled Biden’s plan then brought it back w/his name on it.

Amazon planned to display cost of Trump's tariffs.

Trump complained — Amazon backtracked.

This of course comes after Bezos donated to Trump's inauguration and Amazon bought a Melania documentary.

And remember that Amazon is being sued by FTC for antitrust violations.

First they came for the innocent man deported to a Salvadoran gulag on an “administrative error” they falsely claim they’re powerless to reverse, flouting court orders even from the Supreme Court — and I spoke out, because I know how the damn poem ends.

USAID provides lifesaving food and aid to millions - and destroying it will result in the death of millions.

Musk and Trump have blood on their hands.
China, Russia and India have dispatched emergency teams and supplies to earthquake-ravaged Myanmar. So have Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. The U.S., the richest country in the world and once its most generous provider of foreign aid, has sent nothing.
Trump’s U.S.A.I.D. Cuts Hobble Earthquake Response in Myanmar
While China, Russia and other nations have rushed emergency response teams to the devastated country, the U.S., once a leader in foreign aid, has been slow to act.

This was such a satisfying project, and one in which I realized for the first time how much my whole life had been spent in a manscape, in places where almost everything was named after men.
#WomensHistoryMonth: The City of Women Map is a fascinating visualization of women’s history and urban transportation. Created by Molly Roy, Rebecca Solnit, and Joshua Jelly-Schapiro, the map renames subway stops after notable women with links to that area, offering an entirely new way to view #NYC.

It's literally impossible to run the National Weather Service without talking to foreign partners.

For example, the National Hurricane Center in Miami shares data with other nations in the Caribbean constantly to forecast storms. Everyone benefits.

Weather doesn't stop at the borders.

A couple of (actually serious) thought-experiment questions on where we are and where we’re going:

If a bunch of sociopaths are destroying the federal government from within, why should we pay federal taxes?

And if they succeed, who’s going to make us pay those taxes?
