Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos are working with Trump for one very simple reason:
They understand that Trump's policies are designed to make the wealthiest Americans even richer.
These three men have become $232 billion richer since November.
Not bad in a couple of months time!

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Some days it’s so much harder to lead with love, isn’t it? But I remind myself that hate is a slippery slope. That makes it easier. Be strong today friends. ❤️

The Hegseth confirmation shows that Republican lawmakers have put party over country. They should be ashamed, but I doubt if they are.

The point is for you to be scared.
The point is for you to be too exhausted and inundated to take true action.
The point is for you to feel defeated.
The point is for you to feel isolated.
Don’t believe the point.
Take a deep breath.
Focus on community, on tangible actions.
