This is the power of justice, access and inclusion. We all benefit when we all support each other.

"Trump lost against the Maine governor. He lost against Perkins Coie. He loses 80% of cases in court. Which makes those who’ve capitulated look that much more foolish, because if they’d just fought back, they would've retained what they thought they'd lose and their dignity would still be intact."
Trump forced to concede defeat
Maine's governor promised she'd see Trump in court. She just declared victory.

Trump's mishandling of the economy during his first 100 days shouldn't surprise anyone. He doesn't understand the economy and tanked pretty much every business he ever touched. Watch. https://youtu.be/zbh9SW5Cgqg?si=tmQLdtdCWpVAWW-r

Let’s set the record straight: Trump is not a “successful businessman.” He is, objectively, a business failure.

#TeslaTakedown #Boston

So many folks out here week after week. Every Saturday, noon, Boylston St, Prudential Tesla dealership. Even Captain America came!

“Hey hey ho ho,
Elon Musk has got to go,
Hey hey, ho ho,
Donald Trump has got to go!”

“No Musk, no KKK,
No fascist USA”

DOGE initially promised to save taxpayers $2 trillion. 

Now it admits it's only delivered $160B in cuts.

And even those minimal savings are nearly wiped out by the cost of implementing DOGE's cuts: $135B.

We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

And you thought the left was censorious. How about actual censoring?
I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky
Just received an email saying that it's not advisable to include the following words in future applications for research funding to the US DOT. Here we are.

-Start a costly trade war.
-Fire thousands of food safety, medical, and weather experts.
-Let the world's richest man effectively cut Social Security.
-Bill taxpayers $26M for golf trips.
-Shred the Constitution.

So much winning. youtu.be/yxtrhzW1ZTs?...

As a European I just can't get my head round this.

A family member had a mini health scare a few weeks ago - scans and specialists all arranged in a couple of weeks on the NHS and it cost precisely nothing.

They were OK too btw.
