This is how they privatize our government institutions. Make it so it doesn’t work by understaffing it then turn around and say”see it doesn’t work” and sell it off to the highest bidder so they can take it over. Then they buy the stocks of said company and make money off it. We fucked yall

Yes, my economic plan will cause short term pain. But after that you won't feel the pain anymore because you'll be dead

Please support Susan Crawford for Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice. She will be fair and follow the law. Elon is against her, so you know what to do!

Leaders, please, give a damn and do something. Try. The smallest spark of courageous experimentation can ignite a raging fire of passionate resistance.
In light of the disgraceful behavior by the president and vice president, every elected official, Republicans and Democrats alike, should step up to speak for freedom and the truth. If you're elected by the American people, you have some standing to try to save what can be saved of America's honor.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

Working a bit in China & building deep friendships w/ a few I’d consider family in Beijing & Kunming, I’ve barely scratched the surface when it comes to understanding the Chinese experience or context. This is a great, accessible piece highlighting what we can learn from them in this moment.

Use the next few hours to go fill your gas tank, buy essential groceries or medication, maybe withdraw a little cash to keep handy for any small local business you might want to support tomorrow (w/o benefiting a big bank or credit card company) - let’s build our collective action muscles tomorrow!

“You’re terminated because…?”
Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside.
DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

Trump's funding cuts are putting Oregonians in the literal line of fire. Wildfire prevention and mitigation groups across the West are having to lay off staff and close doors just ahead of fire season, all so Republicans can give another tax handout to Elon Musk.
States are scrambling to make contingency plans for what’s expected to be a severe 2025 wildfire season after USFS cuts and wildfire risk reduction grant freezes.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Yup. Grace period’s over. I can welcome you to the party if eventually decide you’re willing to help but I will never trust you.
If you're not paying attention right now, I don't trust you.
