So it makes perfect sense that today, the government is stripping our most vulnerable neighbors of food security, healthcare, bodily autonomy & civil rights, and abducting Black and Brown people to torture them in concentration camps before shipping them to countries they’ve never been to.

July 4th… What the fuck
are we supposed to be celebrating?
That 250 years ago
white colonizers fancied themselves free and invented a new nation, on land violently stolen from Native People
& established a supremacist economy
built on the labor of enslaved Africans.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.
Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial
A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

A President who detains a protestor and revokes their legal status can only be called one thing:
A dictator.
Silencing dissent is unlawful, unjust, and authoritarian through and through.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

Luke Farritor is not “letting them die”, he is actively breaking the law and withholding life saving meds from the most vulnerable.
He is actively killing people on Musk’s orders. This is a death squad.
We won’t forget his face or his crimes.
